THOUGHTS ON WORSHIP

Greetings!
.
Hope you have been having a great week so far. Thanks to those of you who were in the worship team last week. Again, we had another awesome time of worshipping the Father in the beauty of His holiness. I felt that the congregation was also very much connected to God in worship. Thanks again to all of you. The Lord is using you mightily in the furtherance of His kingdom. Can you believe that furthering the kingdom of God can be as simple as singing or playing an instrument? As the sound of our voices, the strumming of our guitars, the beating of our drums reverberates through the air, the praises that ring out actually thwart the kingdom of darkness. Oh yeah, Satan hates when people, from a sincere heart, praise and worship Elohim (God), Adonai (Lord), YHWH (LORD). Satan's whole deal was to try and elevate himself to the place where he was receiving such praise, adoration, worship. So as our praise and worship of the only One worthy rises, Satan's kingdom falls. In Scripture we find that God's heart is that His name be glorified and lifted up in all the earth. My hope is that, however small a part we play in this whole thing, our praise and worship rings out in Hazel Dell...Vancouver...Washington...the United States...and throughout the entire world. As we lead others in the worship of our Lord Jesus, we are being a part of a global plan to see God's creation everywhere redeemed back to Himself. Thanks for being a history maker.

Love you guys. See you on Sunday.

Grace and peace,
Christian
