“And Jesus said unto them … , “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to younder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.” Romans 1:17

We often hear the phrase “Worship is a lifestyle”. What does this really mean? It simply means to live a life of love. To love extravagantly. The first commandment, to LOVE the Lord your God with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, and with your entire mind, means exactly that. You make a heart and mind decision to continually seek first the Kingdom of God, and to OBEY the Spirit of God in your life, as He calls you on to a greater and deeper knowledge of Himself.

Worship requires something of you, and that is OBEDIENCE.

Why do people cringe away from obedience? I believe it is because it requires a response. John 14:12 says, “Whoever has my commands and OBEYS them, he is the one who LOVES me. My Father will love him who LOVES me, and I too will LOVE him and show myself to him.”

And verse 23 says, “If anyone LOVES me, he will OBEY my teaching. My Father will LOVE him and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not LOVE me will not OBEY me. These words you hear are not my own, they belong to my Father who sent me.” LOVE and OBEDIENCE are tied together.

Every time you open up your heart in obedience to God and worship Him with all your heart, all your mind, and all your soul, our beautiful Lord responds with His magnificent presence. You need to continually be in the presence of God. Not only on Sundays, in a corporate place of worship, but in that secret place that maybe only you and the Lord will ever know about.

It’s in this place of worship that you find yourself needing to respond to the Lord, to whatever He is asking, as WORSHIP PULLS BACK THE LAYERS OF YOUR HEART – TO EXPOSE WHAT’S REALLY THERE.

CONFESS

In Isaiah 6… when Isaiah caught sight of God he was moved to confess his sin.

When your humanness is confronted by the magnificence and holiness of God, you are made SO aware of your need for God’s grace and his cleansing power in your life. If you have unforgiveness, anger, jealousy, bitterness… ask God to forgive you. Romans 12:1 teaches us how to live this life of worship and love.

TRANSPARENCY

Psalm 51 says it so well, that when you are in the presence of the Lord, you become totally transparent and honest and your heart and soul cry out to pray “create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me”. Read the Message Bible translation – it will inspire you to greater heights.

CLARITY

As you simply and wholeheartedly LOVE and ADORE your God, you receive revelation and understanding of your kingdom purpose. Romans 8:28 reveals that “… in all things God works for the good of those who LOVE Him, who have been called according to His purpose”. Many Christians spend their lifetime frustrated at never knowing their Kingdom purpose. I challenge you to get in the presence of God, have an open heart to hear His voice, for He desires ALL He has planned for you even more than you do!

HUNGER

Another heart response is that your hunger for the things of God, your hunger for His Word and His truth increases. John 7:37! If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the scriptures have said, streams of living water will flow from within him. Say YES to the Lord calling you to know Him more through his Word. It is LIFE to your soul.

REST COMES

Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Joy and strength are found in His dwelling place, in His presence. If you feel like you are continually running on empty, then again, you need to respond and obey the Spirit of God and GET IN HIS PRESENCE. If I have learned one thing, it is that we were never meant to live this supernatural call, with purely natural ability. You will not make it… BUT if you take God at His Word, live in His presence, live a life of love, and respond to His voice, you WILL live your entire lifetime growing in the knowledge of Christ, always fresh and strong in the Word, and living a life that people will want to follow.

… And you thought worship was all about songs!

this is it!!!

hey everyone.. for those who are jsut checking this page out.. if you wana have a full day of praise n worship.. head out to our church..

well, i’ve heard some people saying.. erm, people are losing the very basis of worship by doing all this.. n saying its all publicity.. church, i urge you not to listen to these lies the devil as put in some peoples heart.. all music belongs to God!!! if there are musicians who insist on perfection.. its because they wana give thier all best to our God.. *if i have a talent, do i want to give the best?? * if i know how to play cool guitar solo’s.. i would love to do it in de house of God..

so, chill.. relax n enjoy the presence of God.. while he visits us when we worship him.. imagine how 7 hours of worship will be!!!!! wooohooo.. cant wait!!!

SO, anyways, im realy sorry for not posting anything up for so long.. its been awhile, hv been busy with work and all.. but, no doubt, ive been checking the website regularly… replying when possible..

well, im quite hooked on the song “healer” from hillsongs. the “this is our God” album. i just find the words massively superb!! ..it goes..

Verse:
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

Bridge:
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

so, anyways, i was just thinking, do you know that, just by singing this song with your heart, i truely believe that God will heal you.. im serious! He is my God. i know Him. he is more than enough for me..

speaking on healing, some people have a problem when, if they pray, they expect, God will n must heal!! and when God doesnt heal or chooses to allow you to go through your problem, they backslide n give up.. expecially when a loved one is affected.. my condolences go out to those who go trough this..

but, yes, nothing is imposible, God is great, i believe You’re my healer! so.. wats the problem here!!! why isn’t my loved one healed!??!?!?!?! the answer that i believe is in those words itself..

nothing is imposible- you can get over the situation( God will never put u in a situation that you cannot handle)

God is great- yes! He is great! let God plan who He wants to bring back Home. let God decide the path of your life. this is our temporary home.. ( a song by carrie underwood.. check it out), well, God is God! He knows whats best! His ways are not our ways.

i believe Your my healer- Yes!!! He can heal. ok, now understanding that whatever circumstances we went through, is God’s plan.. we know that He can heal us.. those who are left in sorrows.. the word “heal” can also be for the broken heart..

yes!!! i know!!! but why isnt my loved one healed!! after fasting and praying… why!!!!!

i believe it is up to God… im sorry for the pain n cry you have.. cry out to God, He’ll answer you’re cry.. on why He allows things to happen. i urge everyone to not turn away from God in hard times.. but turn to Him, although you feel betrayed, He did not! He did not!!! in Him you’ll find rest!! God is peace..

so, in those words that we talked about in the above paragraphs, you can find the ANSWER.. that it is God’s world, He owns it, He Loves you n your loved one!! He is in control!! dont worry about a thing.. it is not Gods will that one should be sick!!

i cant tell you why God allows this! i really cant! if it’s your problem.. i am not God to answer.. CRY OUT TO JESUS.. He’ll answer you..

everyone.. just to highlight, this also can be used for broken relationships.. sickness.. death.. ect.. Gods word stands.. thats all we have to know..

I TRUST IN YOU.. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING.. MY FAITH IS IN YOU. YOU KNOW MORE THAN ME!

jason..

Our relationships are precious, valuable treasures from heaven. We should handle them carefully, and instead of focusing on being right or focusing on what the other person should be doing for us, we should always focus on building bridges to each other’s hearts

Oftentimes, it’s the people we are closest to that can hurt us the most, and the enemy is always looking for a way to deliver a package of strife and division. If we are going to be all that God has called us to be, if we are going to fulfill the destiny God has for us, we can’t do it alone. Life is a group experience, and we need to recognize the value in the relationships we have. When others hurt or offend us, it is so important that we choose to focus on the long-term effects of our decisions instead of the gratification of “getting even” in the moment. Remember, disappointments are for a season, but relationships are for a lifetime.

I often hear people say that it is actions and not words that matter most. But really, I think both matter, especially when you consider that God spoke the universe into existence. His words have creative power. In the same way, we can create or destroy with our words. It is important to understand that our words—simple puffs of sound—can have a deep and permanent effect on our relationships. By choosing our words, we either choose strife or we choose love. It is that simple. Handle your words and your relationships with care because they are all that matter in eternity.

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18; NIV).

When I was a child, I remember learning about the Golden Rule—do unto others as you would have them do unto you.I recently read a children’s book that put a new twist on that old saying. The premise of the story was that everyone carries an invisible bucket. It’s an emotional bucket, and when your bucket is full, you feel happy, satisfied, and encouraged. When your bucket is empty, you feel down and discouraged.

In this world there are “bucket fillers” and “bucket dippers.” A bucket filler is a person who adds to other people by encouraging them and investing in them with kind words and actions. When bucket fillers pour into others, they find that their own buckets are filled up, too. Bucket dippers, on the other hand, are those who take away from people by using harsh, critical, or negative words. They not only deplete other people’s buckets, but they also diminish the contents of their own.

God intends for us to be bucket fillers. He wants us to use our lives and resources to help people be the very best they can be. I think about Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples. Peter was impulsive; he said things he shouldn’t have, and he needed to grow in a lot of areas. In spite of Peter’s personality drawbacks, Jesus referred to him in surprisingly positive terms. He said, “Peter, you are a rock.” Peter’s very name actually meant “pebble,” and I wonder if he felt like a tiny pebble at times, especially after some of his foolish blunders. Nevertheless, Jesus reminded Peter of what he was becoming—a solid, stable rock. He spoke potential and confidence into Peter’s life, and we should follow that example in our relationships.

Today, let’s look for ways to be bucket fillers not bucket dippers. Instead of reminding people of their failures and faults; let’s see the solid rock in them and speak positively about what they are becoming. Let’s pour into others the way God has called us to.

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today (Hebrews 3:13, NIV).

When our daughter, Alexandra, was just a little baby or maybe a year old, I’d go and get her out of her crib in the morning. When she’d hear me coming, she’d get so excited that she would start jumping up and down. She’d give me a great big hug with her arms and legs and a big kiss. Why was she was so excited? What was the occasion? Was it her birthday? Were we going on vacation? Were we headed to Disneyland? No, it was simply the dawning of a new day. She was excited just to be alive and have another day to enjoy.

That’s the excitement that God has placed on the inside of every one of us. We should never forget how to celebrate each day. But so often as we get older, we allow the challenges of life to push us down and sadden our spirits. We have to stop ourselves and realize that every day is a gift from God. Once today is gone, we can never get it back. If we make the mistake of living it negative, discouraged, grumpy and sour, then that is a day that’s been wasted.

I’ve made up my mind I am not going to waste any of my days. I’m going to celebrate each day as a gift from God.

Remember, happiness is a choice. I like what Abraham Lincoln said, “Most people are as happy as they’ve decided to be.” When you wake up in the morning, you can choose what kind of day you’re going to have. You can choose to be in a good mood, or you can choose to be in a bad mood. You can choose to live this day happy, excited, and expecting God’s goodness; or you can choose to be irritable and sour and just try to make it through. The way you live your life is totally up to you. It’s not dependent on your circumstances. It’s dependent on your choices. Choose to celebrate each and every day and look for the blessings God has in store for you!

I read a story about a man who lived in a tiny apartment and died in extreme poverty. At one point in his life, he had even been homeless, living on the streets. This man never had any successes to speak of nor any noted victories. He lived and died as just another face in the crowd.

After the funeral, some family members went to his little run-down apartment to clear out his belongings. They found a painting hanging on the wall so they decided to sell it at a garage sale. The woman who bought the picture took it to a local art gallery for an appraisal and was shocked to discover that the painting was extremely valuable. The piece of art that hung for so many years in a little run-down apartment was painted by a famous artist who lived in the early 1800s. The woman decided to auction off that painting and ended up selling it for several million dollars.

Just think how that poor man’s life might have changed if he had known the value of what he possessed. He was a multimillionaire and didn’t even know it. So many people live like that today with priceless treasure inside, and they don’t even know it. Sometimes we have to explore what’s on the inside of us to really understand what we have.

I encourage you today; don’t settle for living a mediocre existence. You are a masterpiece created by the most famous Artist of all. Every morning when you get out of bed, remind yourself, I am important. I am handpicked by God, and I am a person of extreme value and significance.

For we are God’s masterpiece…(Ephesians 2:10, NLT).
