Words Spoken in Service on Sunday, January 22nd. 2012
Carlton Baker: shared about when we were singing the song (Bless the Lord Oh my soul) what I saw in that was a personal revelation but I think it’s for the whole Body. What we don’t realize I think sometimes is Worship is also Warfare. When you sing Bless the Lord Oh My Soul, then you’re Commanding, you’re telling your soul, Soul you are Blessing the Lord! I don’t know about you, but that’s a Battle Ground sometimes. Our soul is our Mind and our Emotions and our Will. And of course it’s inhabited in the Body. The Battleground that we face in this walk on earth is ,Satan is contending for our Soul and our Body, but here’s the opportunity, as we Bless the Lord We determine, we take charge, We join with The Holy Spirit that’s in us, We’re quickened, born again by The spirit of God. He’s Alive in us, we’re mingling, and we’re joining with the spirit of God with our spirit. We’re saying we will bless the lord Oh my soul. And what I saw in that, is that time, that moment when Jehoshaphat were faced with a Formidable army, they didn’t have a, only a Prayer. I’ll say they only had a prayer and so what God told them to do is what? Send out the praises, send out Judah first, send the praisers out, and there the Battle was won! God did the Battle, but when they went out praising, they were saying “We Will Bless the Lord”! And that wasn’t an easy assignment, they were totally, and we have enemies after our soul, and the enemy wants more than anything than to keep you from being free to bless the Lord. And even this last song, and I agree, I love these songs, they’re awesome. I’m saying we’ve already begun. I’m saying We Will praise the lord, we will Halleluiah for eternity. We’re doing it Today! Today is the day. I heard a Now word in a song. Now is the time! We’re praising him now, and we’re in Eternity. If we’re born again we’ve already begun that and it will last forever, Halleluiah. I think the first message I had was we’re in Warfare, and we’re enjoying it. Worship is enjoyable and God’s enjoying it, He loves it. And we’re in unity and we’re joined with him, in expressing our worship, but it is a battle and when we’re doing that, just realize we’re defeating the enemy big time, we’re winning a big huge battle.
Pam Washburn shared and added a word to Carlton’s: David Wilkerson had a devotion this week called Violent Faith and he gave the scripture that the kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the Violent take it by force. And right now, more than ever before, We have to have violent faith! We have to be willing to fight for what God says is ours! We have to be willing to fight for that! So I’m just going to pray (Violent Faith rise up in your people Oh God, Violent Faith Rise up in your people, Let them stand their Ground in you! Let them take the things back that the enemy has tried to steal, that he has stolen from them in the Name of Jesus. I just speak that over everyone here that this week they will feel the violent Faith rise up in their soul and they will not take any more of what the Devil is trying to hand them that they will absolutely say No more! No more, they will stand their ground in Jesus’ Name! In Jesus’ Name, Violent Faith Rise up! Rise up in your people, Rise up in your People, Oh God! Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord….
Pastor shared that David saw something earlier, and then Ryan comes up and confirms it.
Ryan spoke: that he saw a barbell on the alter like a weight about 8 feet tall. It was just light, I didn’t see like real detail. But I was asking the Holy Spirit, like what does it mean? The first thought, the initial reaction that I got was that it was weighing the church down from going to the next level.
David spoke: The picture that I got earlier and I was talking with John, I said, I just saw that we were coming up on a hill, and the words that I heard was, We’re getting ready to crest the top of the hill, and then when Terry went to focus on the follies of sin, it got, I mean right up to the top edge, so a lot of this is the different, demonic strongholds that we have that are keeping us from Cresting the Top of the hill. Today we’re right at it. So we have a decision time right now, of what God wants you to do. The stuff that you’ve struggled with for years, there is an anointing here to destroy it. In the name of Jesus!
Pastor speaks: God gave me a scripture for that, this morning. And all this is, is about, this is warfare folks. You’ve, got to keep taking ground. You’ve got to keep taking Ground. I’ve got to keep taking Ground. We can’t afford to quit and whatever sin not if there’s sin, whatever sin there is in your life that has been a hindrance, been a shame, humiliation, a hurt, a hold back in your life, Hebrews Chapter 4, Jesus says; We have a high Priest who’s been touched with our infirmities, he knows our weaknesses, He’s interceding for us before God, He knows what it’s like to be tempted. And the next verse after that says; because we have a High priest let us come boldly before the Throne of Grace, Before the throne of Mercy and find Grace to help in time of need. We got to break this Pride and this unbelief in our head, this strong hold of sin, that say you aint never going to be free of this. You’ve got to realize God’s word says; Jesus came to set the Captives free. I’m being free because Jesus Set me free, but I’ve got to aggressively believe the word more than my body, more than my circumstances, more than the devil, more than the arguments of the world, or even my past history... This is the time you must aggressively advance forward. Then came a Call to move forward and come to the altar.
Pastor led the Congregation in a prayer: Lord Jesus, by the Authority in your name, and by the leading of your spirit, I attack this stronghold in my life. It has grieved your Spirit, it has occupied an area of my life that has kept me from being what you intend for me to be. So by Faith in Jesus’ name, I start tearing down this stronghold right now! Forgive me Lord for the sin of_________. My Lord, I yield to you, and I ask you to take back the ground that I have surrendered to the enemy. Take it back Lord! I yield every bit to you. Come on in Lord. Take it back.
David led a prayer: Everybody as an act of faith, take a deep breath in and blow out. Right now by faith Father we rejoice in your goodness father, that you just bring every piece of the body together, Father, use every bit of gifting to get us to the place you want us. So father right now, I just speak, I just ask even for myself, because I’m a work in progress too, Father that you would fill me, and my brother’s and my sister’s from the top of our heads to the souls of the feet, to overflowing, inside, outside, and all around Father. It’s your anointing that destroys the yoke, and father fill us. Fill us. Fill us so you can use us father. In the name of Jesus.
Pam Washburn: …Walk in the acceptance that you are accepted in him because you were bought for a great price!
Carlton Baker …A word in prayer this morning was a divine exchange. We had a divine exchange this morning! Jane Longo …Spoke that the Lord put a ring on our finger and remember who we belong to!
