The purpose and power of praise and worship

• Glorifies God: "Whoever offers praise glorifies Me," Psalm 50:23.
• Invites God's Presence: God "inhabits the praises of His people".
• Spiritual Warfare: Praise is a weapon against the enemy, causing confusion and releasing God's power to fight on our behalf.
• Accelerates Prayer Answers: Praise can accelerate answers to prayer.
• Encourages Miracles and Wins Battles: The example of Paul and Silas in prison in Acts 16 shows how their praise led to a supernatural earthquake, releasing them from their chains. Another example is found in 2 Chronicles 20, where Judah faced a large army, and through praise and worship, God caused their enemies to fight each other.

One of the first sayings I heard when I became a Christian was that God is faithful. We sang about the faithfulness of God. Whenever someone would endure a trial, we’d remind them that God is faithful. Faithfulness is a characteristic of God that is often talked about, but I wonder if it’s completely understood. Because we are always communicating about God’s faithfulness in the affirmative—God is faithful—I thought it would be helpful to examine faithfulness from a different perspective: what God’s faithfulness doesn’t mean.

Faithfulness doesn’t mean that God will answer every prayer the way you pray. When things are going well and it seems we are getting what we desire (perhaps through answered prayers), we may be quick to acknowledge God’s goodness and faithfulness. But the real challenge to our belief in God’s faithfulness is when we continue to experience unanswered prayers and when the trials of life begin to squeeze us like a lemon in a juicer. It’s hard, it’s sour, it doesn’t feel right. Can we still say and believe that God is faithful during those seasons?

1 Samuel 16:7

Here's a breakdown of the verse's meaning:

• "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature":
  This refers to not judging someone based on their physical appearance, such as their face or height.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• "for the LORD seeth not as man seeth":
  This highlights the difference between God's perspective and human perspective. Humans are easily swayed by outward appearances, but God sees beyond that.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• "for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart":
  This emphasizes that God's focus is on a person's internal character, their thoughts, intentions, and motivations, rather than their external qualities.

In the moral sphere, every act of justice or charity involves putting ourselves in the other person's place and thus transcending our own competitive particularity.

C. S. Lewis

This morning, I ask you: will you go? In Isaiah 6:1-8, the prophet Isaiah begins his ministry after the Lord asks, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" Isaiah responds, "Here am I; send me." However, he then acknowledges his sinful nature, saying, "Woe unto me for I am a man of unclean lips." This realization breaks him, just as it did Job and Peter when they encountered God. We all sin, but God's grace, mercy, and love redeem us. So I ask, will you go?

This was the original episode from July 17, 2022, but somehow it got deleted. We are reposting it as we give thanks for 3 years on this podcast.

Luke 5:36-39

36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

Walk By Faith
2 Corinthians 5:6-8
Paul's outline highlights the significance of trusting Christ and the eternal hope we have in Jesus.
He provides valuable insights in this verse.

(Read)

Although 'walk by faith and not by sight' is a familiar concept, it can be scary and frustrating.
Let's analyze the true meaning of faith. It means trusting God completely or having a strong belief based on spiritual understanding rather than proof.

As humans, we want proof, making it hard to walk by faith.

But when we rely on God, walking in faith becomes easier.
It demonstrates our complete trust in Jesus, which our actions don't always reflect.
When we act in faith, our lives change direction.

‼️NEW SEASON‼️

Pastor Tom Crandall©️

Loving People To The Cross®️

This week, the Lord gave me instructions, as He does every week. His message was simple: feed my sheep. As I thought and prayed, I realized many are facing trials. He brought this message to me, and it flourished into something amazing. Today, I want to share this with you: your struggles are a message, your tests are a testimony, and the race isn’t over yet - keep running. Many are hanging by a thread, unsure if it’s attached to the hem of His garment or the buckle of His sandal. Over time, we fight, but the truth is, we’re only hanging on by a thread. We find rest, comfort, and peace in Jesus’ name, and His word can break generational curses, heal our spirits, and renew our joy. Jeremiah 23:29 says, The fire of God’s word destroys bondage, despair, and tramples the enemy’s lies, bringing victory in Jesus’ name. Today, I speak life over you, and I believe God’s word will destroy the enemy’s lies and be your strong tower.
