Sights and Sounds in the Sanctuary

'The singers lead the way. After them come the musicians. In the middle are virgins playing hand drums. In the assemblies bless God, the Lord, who is the Fountain of Israel.' Psalm 68:25-26 (EHV)

Our God is like a tympani! Mighty and strong is He. He fills the house with His glory and His people come to Him in orderly fashion to shout their praise and to tell stories of their victories.

Can you imagine the look of shock on the faces of David's enemies as they witnessed the enormous multitude of worshipers before them at the great victory dance? Imagine the emotions and the anger they felt in their hearts as they admitted defeat and submitted to him. For the defeated, all of their bitter complaints go unnoticed as they bowed their heads to the spectacular sights and sounds of David and his kingdom on their way to church. Bend the knee they shall. Battle after battle he claimed victory over them. He was a shepherd to his flock. He was a mighty warrior as well as a skilled musician. He was a man after God's own heart, and most of his time was spent praising His God in the sanctuary and bowing his head to the Holy One.

David was like Jesus Christ. There is none like Jesus. Though we may lose a battle we praise Him that we won the war. Through Him, we won the battle over; the disease, the election, the finances, the negative thoughts, the relationships and so much more. Most importantly, through Him, He won the battle over our soul and we run to Him and bow the knee because we are nothing without Him. He is mighty. He is strong. He is my shepherd. He is my deliverer. He is my King. His people come to Him in orderly fashion to give a shout of praise and to give their testimonies. My God is like a tympani. He fills His house of praise with His glory.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
