David did it perfectly!

II Chronicles 29:
They were commanded to sing in
the spirit by the Lord through his prophets! The song of the Lord: Zephaniah
the Lord is mentioned as a singer. The people worshipped until the burnt
offering was finished! It takes a long time for a burnt offering to be
completed! Sing and worship spontaneously! We can give God the whole day. When
they were finished the king ordered the singers to worship God with the songs
of David!
I Corinthians 14:
Sing with your spirit! Then in
the natural! We want to sing nice choruses. We must learn to put the spirit
first, then the natural songs. Just begin to sing in the spirit and the song of
the Lord will come. New songs will be born in the church because you are
tapping into the resources of heaven. There is so much more music that must
come from that other realm into this realm…Beethoven’s confession just before
he died. He was deaf to this world but kept on hearing from that other realm
where music is born!
Order and patterns from heaven
are given from above.
II Chronicles 5:
Unison is born in the spirit.
The worship leaders are
prophets. Their lives have to be dedicated and holy in order to lead worship.
When they tell you to do things and you disobey them you are disturbing the
unity that brings blessings of God! Why is your life not blessed? Because you
disturb what God’s wants to do in the body of believers! By knowledge a house
is built. God reveals it in His word and by His spirit.
Shyness is an inverted
contortion of pride. We are so people-conscious that we do not fear God! We
need to be set free to express what we think of God.
Psalm 49:
Let them praise God in a dance.
Go ahead…is there someone here
that will praise the Lord in a dance?
This is what the Lord has
commanded you to do so that He may appear to you in glory! Take back the
land…by taking back innocence first! Sin makes us guilty before God and ashamed
before men. God loves us so much but he washes us with his blood and cleanses
us. Take innocence back by faith. Children are bold. They say what they want to
say. Older people make them nervous.
Take back your boldness…
Take back the dance to the
church!
Take back the arts…
Take back your talents
Take back who you are in Christ…
David humbled himself
To dance like a slave and a
servant before all his people even though he was king took humility. Michal
despised him. David was on his way to go and bless his house, but she was not
worthy of that blessing and remained childless for the rest of her life. She
was barren from then on. People who despise those who celebrate Christ will
remain barren in their lives.
We have reason to rejoice!
When the disciples rejoiced that
demons obeyed them in Jesus’ name, the Lord rejoiced and turned around because
demons were cast out of God’s people! God’s people are oppressed and possessed
because they have become slaves again. We need to set people free. But we must
rejoice because our names are written in the lamb’s book of life. Our sacrifice
is a sacrifice of praise!
The Priests under the Law had to
work very hard. They had to obey every detail of the sacrifice. Every action
speaks of something. The fat had to be removed from the kidneys and the inner
parts had to be washed before it was burnt outside the camp…when we are in the
presence of God he removes the fat from our inner parts…Jesus was sacrificed
outside of the city.
Jesus walks in our midst.
We obey the Word that we believe
and tune in with the Holy Spirit and that attracts his presence. Our kidneys
speak of purity. Motives in our lives are dealt with in His presence. The
motive in your heart comes out at the most inappropriate time…
Musicians must prophesy on the instruments
Repentance is fun if we all do
it together…there is joy in the house of the Lord, there is liberty in the
spirit! Evil spirits of religion and tradition oppress you when you want to
praise the Lord. The lazy feeling forcing you to sit down when others praise
the Lord has to be defeated in your life once and for all! That feeling that
the meeting is too long is the devil preventing you from entering into
spiritual worship!
Fire purifies us
The fire came down from heaven
and they all fell down and worshipped. He purifies us and makes us strong to do
His will in the earth. The church that is accurate is an ark of salvation and a
place of slaughter where demons are cut out of people’s lives. Jeremiah told
the people to reform their ways and actions. The word of the Lord is offensive
to the flesh. The flesh finds no pleasure in it. What is offensive about God?
Why don’t you find pleasure in it? You sniff at the things of God and say it is
a burden. Praise looks good on you. Did you know that? It brings you into a
place of blessing. Put on the garments of praise for heaviness and use the oil
of joy for mourning, exchange your ashes for beauty!
Bring all your bitterness and
pain and unforgiveness and pride as a sacrifice to the Lord when you worship
and praise…lay it down and ask Him to cleanse you. Two of Aaron’s sons offered
unauthorised fire to the Lord contrary to the ordinances of the Lord. God
punished them and they died. We cannot serve God just as we want to we need to
do it according to God’s instructions.
The fire came out of the
presence of the Lord and consumed those two sons of Aaron- not the sacrifice…we
cannot play church. The apostolic and prophetic dimensions are wonderful but it
is bringing the fear of the Lord back to our lives. We need to know God in his
fire as well as his grace. The apostolic move is not a move of man it is a move
of God. God cannot operate fully yet. The body of Christ needs to be exposed to
the teachings about the apostolic function.
God wants order back in his church. Then there will be miracles and wealth
and growth according to the work of God not our man-made efforts to grow
numbers but their spiritual life is shallow and empty and they cannot stand
when persecution comes.
Apostolic rebuke
Apostolic rebuke must not draw
comfort from other people’s flesh. They should agree with the rebuke until the
person repents. They should not feel sorry for that person’s flesh. If you
despise the apostolic rebuke you might be next! Do not meddle with spiritual
things you do no understand…
Two young men…Willie and
Ettiene…who were rebuked by the apostle and the people did not understand…but
the truth came out eventually. They resisted God and mocked God and God used
the gift of the apostle to remind them that God knows what they are doing. They
accepted the rebuke and their lives were saved and changed. But some people who
look in the natural, are still cross with the apostle…They cannot discern what
God is doing in the church. In the book of Acts the people who lied to the
Spirit fell down dead!
Our weapons are mighty in the Spirit
Satan sends people into the church
to kill and steal and destroy our young people and our marriages, but we have
spiritual weapons that are mightier than the work of the devil. Parents are
fast asleep and their own children are going to hell in church. It is time that
we ask God what is wrong with your children and learn to cast our demons from
your own children!
Deliverance is God gaining
ground in your life! Be honest what you are struggling with. Acknowledge your
temptations and get over it. Accept the rebuke of the apostle. God will change
your life around.
As we clean up our lives our
sacrifice of praise will become more acceptable. As the fire of God increases
in our services the convicting power of the Holy Ghost will increase. As we are
one in spirit the Lord will command His blessing. As we sing our Tehillah
praises to Him He will inhabit our praises and do wonders in our midst!
