This Is Our God by Hillsong

Your grace is enough
More than I need
And your word I will believe
I wait for you
Draw near again
And your spirit make me new
And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here

Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
 By your spirit i am free
And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here

Freely you gave it all for us
Surrendered your life upon that cross
Great is your love
Poured out for all
This is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Sovereign king
Rescued the world
This is our God

And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here

And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here

Freely you gave it all for us
Surrendered your life upon that cross
Great is your love
Poured out for all
This is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever out God is glorified
Sovereign king
Rescued the world
This is our God

Have you fallen at God’s feet?

God gave up His Son for you, therefore I’d urge you to repay Him today by giving your life to Him by kneeling before Him and giving Him your heart.

Broken and Beautiful by Brian Doerksen

Lord we remember
How You gave Your life on a brutal cross
Lord we remember
This is the way You’ve chosen to say
This is the way You make all things new
This is the way You’ve chosen to say
This is the way You make all things new
Broken and beautiful
Extravagant love
Prodigal grace
Broken and beautiful
God‘s perfect justice
Mercies embraced

 

What do you think of when yu think a Jesus on a cross at Calvary?

Well the name of the above song sums it up quite well doesn’t it…Broken and Beautiful.

Broken by humanity but also providing us with beautiful peace and mercy forever.

Don’t ever forget the beauty of the cross and all it stands for!

To celebrate Christ, and to acknowledge our love for Him, what should we do?

We must pray, read our bible, and worship Him!

It cost Christ his life when He came to earth, just so we could lead the kind of life we are able to lead today. We must give thanks to Him for that amazing love he  had for us, so join with me today and worship Christ our saviour.

An Act Of Worship

What do you think of when you hear the word “worship”?

Church, praise meeting, singing…?

How about prayer? Does that strike you as being an act of worship?

At first when I getting my thoughts together for this blog post, I had to say I didn’t really think prayer was a true act of worship. However we’re reminded in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. (The Message)

God wants us to pray, to rejoice in Him and thank Him for all He does for us. By praying to God we are showing Him just how much we love and adore Him.

God tells us to “pray without ceasing”, but He doesn’t mean we should pray continually all the time, as that would be unachievable. However He does expect us to pray daily and thus worship Him on a daily basis.

Worship God today, pray!

Psalm 51: 16 (The Message)

Going through the motions doesn’t please you,
      a flawless performance is nothing to you. 
I learned God-worship
      when my pride was shattered. 
Heart-shattered lives ready for love
      don’t for a moment escape God’s notice.

As I touched on yesterday in Stripped Away, our worship can sometimes get overtaken by our involvement in musical sections or other activities our church. Don’t be fooled though, God knows when we’re just going through the motions, even when we ourselves feel we’re putting our heart into it!

God know us better than we know ourselves. God knows our every feeling, our every emotion, He knows why we feel the way we do, even before we understand the reason ourself.

Don’t try and cheat God, put your heart and soul into worship – He puts His heart and soul into us every day.

Stripped Away

It’s funny how things happen sometimes isn’t it?

In the last few weeks, you may be aware if you’re on Twitter, that there has been people, one in particular who has been doing all they can to turn people from the Salvation Army in the UK. While they are free to express their own opinions, many very broad generalisation and rash assumptions have been made by these folk, simply because they have had a bad experience in the Salvation Army.

My main reason for mentioning this is that one of their main gripes about the Salvation Army is that it focuses too much on music, the musical sections (both young peoples and senior sections), and the musical ability of its members. I agree that in the Salvation Army we do encourage music as a means of worship and praise, however I certainly do not agree that the Army focus is more on its music than on God.

In thinking about and praying about some of the things that have been said on Twitter, I’ve found myself drawn to the song When The Music Fades. Then in our devotions during the band practice last Thursday, our officer (minister) reminds us again of that same song…When the Music Fades.

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart

I bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart

I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about you
It’s all about you, Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about you
It’s all about you, Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much you deserve
Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is yours
Every single breath

This song really sums up what I think the Salvation Army is all about…yes we love our music, I love the music it’s how I express my love for God, however it is just a small part of what it’s all about for the majority of us. For us, you could take away the musical sections, the music, the uniforms etc, but Jesus would still be there at the centre of all we do.

Yes, I will admit that sometimes we can all get caught up in the emotions of some of the music, but if we are real Christians and not just going through the motions of the Salvation Army and all that entails, we remind ourselves of the words related to the music, remind ourselves of Jesus and remind ourselves of the cross…that should be more than enough to remind us of the reason for being a part of the Salvation Army.

Everything we have is God’s, because all He had, He gave for us at Calvary.

We are weak but God can be our strength.

Lifted!

John 8:27-29 (NIV)

They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”

Jesus is the Son of God, His only son. He is our Lord and our Saviour. We must lift up our voices in praise to Him, for He will never leave us alone to face all this world throws our way.

We must bow down before God and lift up our praises and our prayers to Him, today, tomorrow and every day.

Be Lifted Up by Paul Oakley

Be lifted up, be lifted up
As we bow down,
Be lifted up.
(Repeat)

Let the heavens rejoice
Let the nations be glad
Let the whole earth tremble
For you are God
Come and worship the Lord
In the beauty of holiness

As we bow down,
Be lifted up,
As we bow down,
Be lifted up

Some of us find God when we go to church on a Sunday, but what about the other six days of the week, do we find God during each of them also?

When we are surrounded by other Christians, especially those whose faith and beliefs have led them to worship God at the same church as ourselves, it can be easy to find God and hear Him speak to us. Other times when we’re surrounded by situations, conversations and events that are not God-based, it can be so much more difficult to find God in the midst of life.

It’s times like these when we must rely on our faith to keep us strong, and to keep us focused on God. Keep your eyes and your mind focused on God at all times and He will guide you through each situation you face.

Worship the Lord

All Heaven Declares
All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord
Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord?
Forever He will be (Forever He will be)
The Lamb apon the throne (The Lamb apon the throne)
I gladly bow the knee (I gladly bow the knee)
And worship Him alone

I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord
Who once was slain to reconcile man to God
Forever You will be (Forever You will be)
The Lamb upon the throne (The Lamb upon the throne)
I gladly bow my knee (I gladly bow my knee)
And worship You alone
Do you worship God?
You don’t need to attend church to worship God, you can do it wherever you are. So taking that into account, do you worship God?
As well as tell others about God, and how much He can do for them, we must take time to worship God, but what does worship actually mean? The following is the dictionary definition of worship:


The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.
The ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed.
Ardent devotion; adoration.

Take time out of your busy life, to spend time saying “thank you” to God by worshipping Him.

A Call To Celebrate

That was the Sydney Staff Songsters of the Salvation Army singing a wonderful arrangement of Revelation 19.

Revelation 19 contains words of praise and worship and encourages us to celebrate God’s wonderful love for us each and every day. We so often take God’s love for us for granted, so why not listen to the Songsters sing Revelation 19 again, and then share a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God for all he’s done for you today and for all He will do in the future.

The Message version of the bible says the following in Revelation 19:1-10 under the heading of The Sound of Hallelujahs:


I heard a sound like massed choirs in Heaven singing, Hallelujah!
The salvation and glory and power are God’s—
his judgments true, his judgments just.
He judged the great Whore who corrupted the earth with her lust.
He avenged on her the blood of his servants.
Then, more singing:
Hallelujah!
The smoke from her burning billows up to high Heaven forever and ever and ever.


The Twenty-four Elders and the Four Animals fell to their knees and worshiped God on his Throne, praising,
Amen! Yes! Hallelujah!

From the Throne came a shout, a command:
Praise our God, all you his servants,
All you who fear him, small and great!

Then I heard the sound of massed choirs, the sound of a mighty cataract, the sound of strong thunder:
Hallelujah!
The Master reigns, our God, the Sovereign-Strong!
Let us celebrate, let us rejoice, let us give him the glory!
The Marriage of the Lamb has come; his Wife has made herself ready.
She was given a bridal gown of bright and shining linen.
The linen is the righteousness of the saints.

The Angel said to me, “Write this: ‘Blessed are those invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.’” He added, “These are the true words of God!”


I fell at his feet to worship him, but he wouldn’t let me. “Don’t do that,” he said. “I’m a servant just like you, and like your brothers and sisters who hold to the witness of Jesus. The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
