Worship The LORD With Your Whole Heart

Dearly Beloved Church and Saints of The Most High GOD,

Being in the presence of the Almighty GOD, El Shaddai, is something to be rejoiced of as He has counted us worthy to come and to be before Him. When we are in His glorious presence we are to praise His Holy Name with our whole heart, for it is when we seek Him with our whole heart it is then and there that we shall find Him. He is The Most High GOD; the only One Who is worthy of all of our honor and praise. King David says, "I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High" (Psalm 9:1-2). Our LORD Jesus Christ died for our salvation and atoned for our sins; we are to rejoice in His salvation, for salvation is found in no other (Acts 4:12). It is in our heart where He must rule and reign as King. If our heart does not truly belong to Christ we naturally will have no desire to worship Him as He should be and deserves to be worshiped. In Jeremiah 24:7 The LORD says that has given us a heart to know Him and that He IS The LORD. This is important to understand for it is when we truly get to know Him that He begins intimately speaking with us and teaching us, flooding us with His anointing. When we become truly anointed in His Spirit, He sets up divine barriers and borders around us to hedge us in; this is done by encompassing us round about with His angelic hosts. We read in Psalm 20:5-6, "We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions. Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand". In rejoicing in The LORD in worship and in praise and in thanksgiving with our whole heart we are elevated for His glory for a higher calling in this world upon this earth. GOD makes it clear in His Word that anyone who seeks to hurt His anointed will be judged accordingly. To worship The LORD with all of our heart is also in return to obtain the favor of our King! There is no greater feeling or sensation on this earth in this fallen world than to be able to walk freely throughout every day in joy and without fear knowing that The Almighty GOD is for us and He's got us; nothing can come against us when we are with Him, when He is walking right there with us. I see a beautiful perspective unfolding before me and within me in learning how to worship King Jesus and how to enter into His presence upon His throne of mercy and grace; the more I worship Him in spirit and in truth with my whole heart, the more His favor is poured out upon me and the enemy's power of sway or right to come in is more greatly diminished! The more I fall on my face before the throne in worship of my King, the less effective are the strategies of satan to bind me into a mental prison, decreased intensely are the powers of luring sin, less likely it becomes that I will fall, and the easier it becomes to carry my cross walking in this cursed world. Worship of Jesus breaks away the chains!

Psalm 59:16-17 sounds out, "But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy". We must always keep in remembrance the all-powerful sovereignty of our great King and how powerful He truly is! He is our Refuge and Defense in our time of trouble and He pours out mercy unto those who truly love Him and make place for Him in their heart, unto those who sing aloud a joyful noise in praise of His Holy Name. We find all we need in worshiping Him, as the floodgates of heaven open wide and rain down blessing and provision. King David sings, "Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah" (Psalm 66:1-4); "Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice" (Psalm 68:32-33). There is deep revelation here in these few scriptures illustrating what worship breaks open and does within us and around us. When we sing praises unto GOD which magnify His great power and terror our enemies scatter in all directions and every wall falls down. Worship is a powerful breaker anointing that emerges from The Spirit of The LORD when we drop to our knees before His throne. Magnify The LORD and He will give all things according to His perfect will, for it is with our whole hearts we seek Him first and His kingdom and His righteousness!

King David was the greatest warrior king in the Holy Scriptures aside from the King of Kings, Jesus Christ our LORD. As we have been learning through the many sayings and songs he wrote, there is a key here that we need to grab ahold of and keep to continually use which will unlock every door before us. That key is worship and praise of The LORD! He obtained the favor of GOD in his life and in his 40-year reign, even after he fell into some of the greatest sins. He still recovered all and reestablished favor in the eyes of The LORD. So we have to take special notice that King David stopped all things to praise and worship and to pray to GOD three times a day; through his praises with his whole heart there was an abundant stream of mercy and grace that flooded into his life.  He sang, "I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell" (Psalm 86:12-13). King David knew all too well the psychological torture of the consequences of sin which gave satan rights to enter into his life and stir up a whirlwind of grief. The grief of his sin drove this king to his knees in lamentation and weeping, in crying out to and worshiping in praise the Name of The LORD; therefore GOD poured out His mercy upon David and delivered him from the lowest hell walking in this world. GOD freed him from the torment of satan. So we need to remember that if GOD is the same GOD yesterday today and forever, which He is, then the same GOD that was there in the times of old Who delivered King David in all of these glorious ways is the same GOD that we worship today! If He did it then, He will do it now. GOD desires our whole heart, for He is a jealous GOD and will not share us with another. Jesus is our Bridegroom and we are to be His faithful Bride, even in our heaviest most sorrowful times even moreso then should we run to our King!

Psalm 89:5-7 speaks of the Almighty GOD in this way, "And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him". Vs. 15-17 go on to say, "Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted". To conclude this teaching of how to enter into the presence of The Almighty GOD and how to worship Him and why it is so important to do so, we leave you with this: The stars of heaven praise GOD and all of creation groans in longing just to be reconciled back to His Holy perfection (Romans 8:19). GOD is greatly to be feared for His countenance is mighty in the assembly of the congregation and in His Name alone is anything done or made whole. In worshipping Him we are then anointed and blessed, obtaining His favor in this world as we are prepared for the next: eternity with Him. So when we worship Him and love Him with our whole heart, this is where we grab ahold of the keys which we need to unlock higher levels of His Spirit overflow in our lives. We only have one life to live, and it must be lived for Him in every way: we must give all to Him through worship and love.


Be encouraged in Jesus' Name!
"Now The LORD of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The LORD be with you all." (2 Thessalonians 3:16). 
Keep us in Prayer that the advancing of His glorious Kingdom comes through us as we wait for His powerful day of arrival. God Bless you in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ The LORD!

Worship The LORD In Brokenness

Dearly Beloved Church and Saints of The Most High GOD,

How blessed are we who have been called and chosen by the Horn of our Salvation: Jesus Christ The LORD! What a great favor we have been given by our King that we can enter into His Holy presence even in our fallen state in this cursed world and be made new washed as white as snow by the blood of The Lamb, to be able to bow before Him on His throne of mercy and grace to worship Him in His presence and to sing praises unto His awesome Name! I stand in awe of our great magnificent GOD that He is so great that upon His breath the very foundations of the earth shake and tremble, and of His great power which makes the heavens bow with just one spoken word; what a valiant honor it is to be invited in to His throne room as the train of His robe fills His Holy Temple where the angels round about His throne cry "Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy" day and night never-ending! He is so mighty and so powerful in awesome glory and splendid wonder, there really are no words in the human vocabulary which can utter or capture His tremendous magnificence. Before Him I know I am unworthy, yet He looks down upon me and smiles in unconditional love in desire of wanting me by His side and before Him. He has called us who were once unworthy, worthy (Colossians 1:12). In our state of feeling unworthy or feeling broken, we need to run boldly to His throne where His grace and mercy are poured out continually. We cannot withhold ourselves from our Heavenly Father when our hearts are broken or when we are so weary that we cannot barley speak; for when we know not what to pray for or what to say but we know that we need to pray, the spirit bares witness of the Spirit and knows exactly what to pray for (Romans 8:26). King David knew brokenness all too well when he fell from grace into sin and filthy darkness, and he cried out to The LORD in his time of trouble and despair day and night. He wept continually before The LORD and made many supplications in lamentation unto Him; his very soul was vexed for the deep sorrow he felt for transgressing against Him. He cried out, "O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave" (Psalm 88:1-3).

In Psalm 51 King David cries out unto The LORD to have mercy upon him according to His loving-kindness and multitude of tender mercies regarding his sins, to wash him and cleanse him of his iniquity and he acknowledged his transgressions as his sin was ever before him. He was in grave turmoil in his heart for sinning against The LORD his GOD, the Holy One of Israel; he begged Him with all of his being to purge him and make him as white as snow. He says in vs. 8-12, "Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit". This is the most perfect example of how to pour our hearts out to GOD, pleading with Him to make us new as a little child with a pure heart and to deliver us from the pains of the deep sadness in brokenness. In vs. 17 it tells us that the sacrifices of GOD are a broken spirit and a broken and contrite heart He loves and not despises. There is nothing more beautiful to The LORD than a broken and contrite heart and spirit.

In Psalm 34:17-20, King David reveals a significant truth: "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken". This tells us that those of us who seek to walk in righteousness forsaking the pleasures of this world indeed shall be afflicted and be broken, but The LORD looks down upon this as beautiful and precious in His sight (Psalm 116:15). It is no coincidence that in the beginning of Psalm 34 King David tells us to praise The LORD in our times of brokenness by saying: "I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears". It goes on to tell us in vs. 7 that the Angel of The LORD encamps round about us who fear Him and delivers us. In worshipping The LORD, praising Him, fearing Him, resting in Him, in waiting upon Him no matter what the circumstance and no matter how broken or drenched in sorrow or heavy we are: We find His favor with His right hand! He sends His warrior angels down to split the enemy asunder in battle and His guardians and ministering angels down to protect us and administer consolation. We are instructed to take on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3) for a reason: when we drop all things in this world in the middle of the greatest hurricanes of life just to praise The Name of The LORD, we break free and find deliverance from all of it from our great King! HE IS THE WAY!


The King of Kings therefore steps forward as our front and rear guard to defend us from the enemy as He covers us from secret warfare as we are in our state of brokenness and He draws nigh unto us and He saves us. He heals the broken-hearted and binds up our wounds (Psalm 147:3). Even though we fall and shatter into pieces in sorrow and weeping lamentations, still He hears us and He shelters us and renews our strength as we rest in Him and wait upon Him for all things. For those who wait upon The LORD shall receive renewed strength and mount up with the wings of eagles: we shall run and not grow weary and we shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). King Jesus says, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30). He is here for us as an ever-present help in our times of trouble and He surrounds us with songs of deliverance as we take Him in as our hiding place (Psalm 32:7).

Personally I have found such incredible and immediate breakthrough in worship, and by searching out the scriptures I have now illuminated the great importance of falling before the throne of mercy and grace quickly and boldly leaving no time for the enemy to get there before I do. GOD is found when He is sought with our whole hearts (Jeremiah 29:13) fallen in brokenness and of a contrite spirit, and oh... HE SHOWS UP! When we cry out to Him in mourning and surrender all unto Him trusting in Him completely that He has got us right in the palm of His hand and knows every hair upon our heads, He tucks us under His almighty wings and there we abide under His shadow. This is the secret place with Him in which we dwell, for He is our Refuge and our Strength (Psalm 91). It is in worship, entering into His presence, where we find His peace, mercy, grace, and love. Cry out!

In the next few letters, we will touch on more scriptures that shall open the floodgates of heaven by entering into the presence of the Almighty GOD and into His gates with thanksgiving and praise. For He is worthy of all of our praise and worship, forever and ever, Amen.

Be encouraged in Jesus' Name!
"Now The LORD of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The LORD be with you all." (2 Thessalonians 3:16). 
Keep us in Prayer that the advancing of His glorious Kingdom comes through us as we wait for His powerful day of arrival. God Bless you in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ The LORD!

KNOW WHO YOUR GOD IS!

Dearly Beloved Church and Saints of The Most High GOD,

We come together this day to praise the Holy Most High Name of our Almighty GOD, El Shaddai. He is our Strength. He is our Sword. He is our Shield and Buckler. He is our Strong Tower. He is our Fortress. He is our Refuge.  He is our Habitation. He is our Deliverer. He is our Rock. He is our Salvation: The Horn of our Salvation and the Hope of our Salvation (2 Samuel 22, Psalm 18). He is our Savior. He is The Father of The LORD Jesus Christ our Messiah, Who Is The Image of The Invisible GOD (2 Corinthians 4:4, Colossians 1:5). In the last letter we illuminated the words of our LORD Jesus Christ that He is the Door and the Way and no-one comes to the Father except through the Son. This foundational teaching helps us to understand that we must, as His chosen Bride, have an intimate relationship with Him and worship Him to get to the Father! Therefore we must glorify the Name of Jesus, for at His Name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is LORD and GOD (Philippians 2:10-11). This is where we need to begin to get to know Who Jesus is in presence and in being, to know Who He is to us. When we begin to call upon His many names, as we spoke of beforehand, we begin to turn keys and unlock doors which no man can open nor shut except for Him. This is how we take dominion and authority in His Name over the Oppressor (satan). When we declare the righteousness and the glory of The Most High King of Heaven and Earth in His magnificent awe and wonder and presence over our lives and within us, we wage war against satan and scatter his assignments and wicked desires over us. When we are under attack, we need to fight back by calling upon the Name of The LORD, for all who call upon the Name of The LORD shall be saved and delivered (Romans 10:13).

Why is this important when in prayer, praise, and worship? These three form the three-fold cord! Calling upon the Name of The LORD in the three-fold cord which is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12) is a declaration of His omniscience as Sovereign Supreme Most High Throne over all of heaven and of earth, even over satan and his principalities and dark thrones of wickedness seated in high places. We must remember when entering in that we too are also seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus our LORD and that His Throne is the absolute Most High Throne! We go into prayer and praise to worship GOD and to wage war against the enemy satan: WE WARSHIP. When we praise the Name of The LORD by calling upon His many names, it reminds us of Who He is and what He has done for us which will stir up the love in our hearts for Him and it activates the movement of His Holy Spirit around us and within us. It also sends the enemy running! There are few things satan hates more than the praise and worship of the Almighty GOD and he will do anything to interrupt it or to cut it off completely, for it is through warship that we enter into the presence of The LORD and bring heaven down to earth; satan cannot stand the fact that he is eternally damned and that he fell from glory and was stripped of nearly all of his titles which include leading the angels who were created specifically to praise GOD into worship of Him. He cannot stand the truth of it all, that we as the creation that he refused to bow down to and serve as ordered by The Almighty hence the reason for his fall due to his pride, that we can not only enter into the presence of The Holy LORD in worship but we are accepted by Him and invited by Him to come and enter in before Him sitting upon His Throne and are granted the keys to the kingdom and all power and dominion over all: even over satan himself! So we can see exactly why true holy worship and praise are hindered or prohibited in many areas of this world and made fun of and blasphemed on such a high level, because this three-fold cord is our most offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy.

Psalm 149 instructs us that we are to praise The LORD for these very reasons, even straight-up saying that the high praises of GOD are to be in our mouths in song acting as a two-edged sword in our hands to execute vengeance and punishments upon the enemy and to bind him and his thrones of wicked principalities. It reads as follows: "Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord." LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD!

Jesus Christ is King of Kings and LORD of LORDS (Rev. 17:14, 19:16, 1 Tim. 6:15). He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End (Rev. 22:13). He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6, Acts 9:2). He is the Light of the world (John 8:12). He is the Son of GOD; the Lamb of GOD (John 1:29, 36, 1 Pet. 1:19, Rev. 5:6-12, 7:17). He is the Chief Cornerstone of the Church (Ephesians 2:20, 1 Peter 2:6, Isaiah 28:16). He is the Bright Morning Star and the Lily of the Valley (Rev. 22:16). He is the Rose of Sharon. He is the Bread of Life and the Living Waters (John 6:32-35, John 4:10, 7:38). He is our Bridegroom and the Lover of our Soul (Matthew 9:15, John 3:29). He is the Keeper of our Heart, for He is the Door (John 10:9). He is the Good Shepard. He is Emmanuel the Only Begotten GOD (Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 7:14, 8:8). Jesus is our Eternal Father (Isaiah 9:6). He is GOD (John 1:1, 14-18, Romans 9:5, Hebrews 1:8). Our LORD Jesus Christ is our Hope and the King of Glory; He is the Head of the Church (Ephesians 5:23); He is Judge and Ruler (John 5:22-23, Acts 10:42). He is the Holy One, our High Priest (Hebrews 3:1-2, Mark 1:24, Acts 2:27, 3:14). He is The Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Rev. 5:5). He is the Man of Sorrows (Isaiah 53:3). He is our Master and Teacher (Matthew 8:19). Jesus is the Messenger of the Covenant and Messiah (Malachi 3:1, Daniel 9:25, John 1:41, 4:25). He is the Prince of Peace and Shiloh (Isaiah 9:6, Genesis 49:10). He is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25). He is the True Vine (John 15:1). Jesus Christ IS the Wisdom of GOD (1 Corinthians 1:24, 30). He is The Word of GOD (John 1:1, 14). Jesus has GOD's Name because He IS GOD; YAHWEH means "He Who Is". It expresses the idea that only GOD has self-existent being, and Christ possesses this Name: I AM, Who is and Who was and Who is to come (Mark 6:50, Luke 21:8, John 8:24, 28, 58, Rev. 4:8). There are more names of GOD Who is Jesus Christ, the same GOD yesterday, today, and forever; this is an assembly of most of His Names which because of all that we have unveiled about warship of The One True GOD are needed; to be made known and taken into our mind, heart, soul, and spirit as we lead on to entering into His presence to pray unto Him, to praise Him, and to worship Him. The next time you enter in before the Throne of mercy and grace, we encourage you to bring these names in with you and begin to call upon Him in this way and learn what His many names mean by reading the scripture context associated to each specific Name. King Jesus wants us to know what a mighty GOD we serve and exactly Who He IS! He is our ever present help in our times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

In the next few letters, we will touch on more scriptures that shall open the floodgates of heaven by entering into the presence of the Almighty GOD and into His gates with thanksgiving and praise. For He is worthy of all of our praise and worship, forever and ever, Amen.

Be encouraged in Jesus' Name!
"Now The LORD of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The LORD be with you all." (2 Thessalonians 3:16). 
Keep us in Prayer that the advancing of His glorious Kingdom comes through us as we wait for His powerful day of arrival. God Bless you in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ The LORD!

Great Steps Towards Our Great GOD

Dearly Beloved Church and Saints of The Most High GOD,

As the Church of Jesus Christ we must know how to praise and worship Him in glory of our Father. This is a vital key in living victoriously in Christ, for it is through praise and worship that we get closer to Him and develop an intimate relationship with Him. GOD is not only worthy of all honor and glory and praise, but He loves to be worshiped and serenaded in song and in dance. This is how we please Him and this is how we draw nigh unto Him. There is no other way more dynamic or virtuous to praise The LORD than through exaltation of His Holy Name in glorifying and magnifying His Majesty. The angels in heaven were created for the sole purpose of worshipping The LORD. This is all so vital to know and to practice in our walk in this world at all times because we know that the god of this world (satan) used to be one of the angels and perhaps the arch minister of the angelic choir in charge of worshiping and conducting worship of GOD, surrounding the throne of GOD with the most beautiful songs on pipes and tabrets which were in him a part of his covering (Ezekiel 28:13-20). Why is this important to know when speaking of entering into the presence of The Almighty GOD? So that we have a foundation laid out which proves that angels were indeed created for worshiping The LORD and we who are His perfect creation are also supposed to worship Him with all of our heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit. GOD is a spirit, and must be worshiped in spirit. "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:23-24). GOD teaches us how to worship Him in truth by worshipping and having an intimate relationship in faith with His Son Jesus Christ, Who is GOD Himself. Jesus said that He is the Way and the Truth and the Life and no-one comes to the Father but through the Son (John 14:6). The greatest way that we can worship The LORD is with our every thought and action. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:1-2). This is our spiritual act of worship.

Praise and worship is not just the act of singing songs in church, it is a condition of our heart and a willingness to exalt GOD above all things. It is an expression of our love and awe to our LORD Who is the One that gives us all that we have. Deuteronomy 6:5 says to love the LORD your GOD with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your strength. We do this by rejoicing in His wonder and by exaltation of His Name, for it is through Jesus Christ our LORD that we have been saved from judgment and the everlasting fires of torment. Jesus was sent to satisfy the judgment of The Almighty upon us, for we have all sinned and have all fallen short of the glory of GOD (Romans 3:23). So what shall we say then? Shall we not learn to worship the King of Kings who came as the Lamb of GOD taking away the sins of the world so that we may be saved and enter into eternal rest with GOD in heaven? Indeed we should praise Him for what He has done! So we need to learn how to enter into the presence of The Almighty GOD in our own personal way but also in the greatest way possible, right? I look at it in the way that King David did: if I am going to worship The LORD, I am going to give Him the very best exaltation that I possibly can blossom and put forth! We should desire to sing unto The LORD with all that we've got! No-one else in The Bible worshiped The LORD of Hosts greater than King David did, so he is then our greatest example of how to enter into the presence of The Almighty GOD! THE NAME OF THE LORD IS WORTHY OF PRAISE!

GOD has many names in His Word that elude to certain characteristics of Who He is. Something that He has shown me is that in the exaltation of His different Names in prayer entering into His presence there is released the portion unto me and in my life according to which names I call upon. In my great love for The LORD as I enter into His presence and bow before Him I have found myself magnifying His great countenance through calling out His Names in worship. I have happened to notice that when I begin to do this, keys begin to turn and doors begin to unlock before me; doors which no-one can open but Him and that no-one can close but Him (Isaiah 54:1-2, Revelation 3:8). The higher we lift the mighty name of The LORD and the more we dedicate ourselves to Him in prayer, praise, and worship: the greater He pours out His grace and blessings unto us (Psalm 68:4). HE IS THE MOST HIGH GOD AND KING OVER ALL OF HEAVEN AND OF EARTH! To worship Him completely we must know Him and how mighty He is so that we can give Him the highest praise!

So what are the Names of GOD? First and foremost He is Adonai, which is pronounced in substitution of YHWH - considered too sacred to be uttered (Psalm 8, Isaiah 40:3-5, Ezekiel 16:8); He is the Master and majestic LORD, our total authority. He is Jehovah, which is using the vowels of Adonai meaning "I AM, The One Who Is, The Self-Existant One" (Exodus 3:14, 6:2-4, 34:5-7, Psalm 102). GOD never changes and His promises never fail; when we are faithless He is faithful! He is Elohim which is plural from "El - meaning "The Strong One" which is to be used in compound with proper names; Elohim is the plural form of "El" usually associated with GOD in relation with His creation. Elohim means "The All-Powerful One, Creator". GOD is the All-Powerful Creator of the universe. GOD knows all, creates all, sees all, and is everywhere at all times (Genesis 1:1-3, Deuteronomy 10:17, Psalm 68, Mark 13:19). One name I love to call upon in worship and in prayer is His name El-Roi: The GOD Who sees me; I love to use this name because whatever my circumstance is in my life, He always has a fatherly awareness and care for me. GOD knows us and our troubles for there is no hidden thing from His sight (Luke 8:17, Deuteronomy 29:29). *For this name of GOD, see Genesis 16:11-14 and Psalm 139:7-12.* There are many names throughout the scriptures that GOD reveals Himself as. Another name I love to call Him is El-Shaddai, from where He reveals Himself to confirm His covenant with Abraham; this name refers to GOD's power evident in His judgment "All-Sufficient One, The GOD of the Mountains, GOD Almighty" (Genesis 17:1-3, 35:11, 48:3, 49:25, Psalm 90:2). He is the All-Sufficiant source of all of our blessings and provision. GOD is All-Powerful; our problems are never too big for Him to handle and take care of. It is important that we remain humble before Him in prayer and in praise and in worship, for these are the times where we are seeking His presence and in dire need of His presence, His council, His provision, His promises, and His Word. When we cry out to GOD He always answers, He is ALWAYS there! These are just a few to use as you enter into the presence of The Almighty GOD (El-Shaddai), to call upon in beginning to worship Him. In worshipping Him we are exalting the Most High Holy Name of our King, which is above all names (Philippians 2:9); thus the importance of magnifying His Name is vital for us to grab ahold of when approaching the throne of mercy and grace. HE IS HOLY!

When you enter into His presence and are in need of His protection to war on your behalf, we need to remember that He is our GOD Who will fight for us and run warfare before and behind us. He is our front and rear guard (Isaiah 52:12). To conclude this letter bringing this message full-circle, we will bring in some of the songs of King David. King David worshiped The LORD so intensely that as he danced before Him, his very cloths fell off! How he loved The LORD! This is Who our GOD is, for He is the same GOD yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). "Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth" (Psalm 57:1-3). He called upon our Warrior GOD King further by scribing: "My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things" (Psalm 45:1-4). 


In the next few letters, we will touch on more scriptures that shall open the floodgates of heaven by entering into the presence of the Almighty GOD and into His gates with thanksgiving and praise. For He is worthy of all of our praise and worship, forever and ever, Amen.

Be encouraged in Jesus' Name!
"Now The LORD of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The LORD be with you all." (2 Thessalonians 3:16). 
Keep us in Prayer that the advancing of His glorious Kingdom comes through us as we wait for His powerful day of arrival. God Bless you in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ The LORD!

Entering into the Presence of The Almighty God

Dearly Beloved Church and Saints of The Most High GOD,

It is an important matter to address with the Body of Christ in how to enter into His Holy Presence, so this is what we are going to present unto you the next couple of days. Entering into the presence of the Almighty GOD is something we need to do on a daily basis; we must always remember that no matter where we've been or how "dirty" we feel, that we are not only welcomed in but we are wanted and desired of by Him. He longs for a close intimate relationship with us and He ever awaits us to run to His throne seeking His face. There is a vital reason that we must never fear to run into His presence, and that reason is this: satan would have it no other way than to make us feel too "filthy" or so "guilty" of the things we have done that we do not run boldly unto our LORD but rather we would shy away from immediately seeking His presence, thinking that He would cast a shameful look upon us or that He doesn't want to see us. That if we fall into sin or have strayed from the righteous path in our walk with Him in this world that we are to feel guilty, therefore holding us captive in a place of shame or doubt that The LORD would not want us to run to Him. THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIES OF THE ENEMY! We should never fear to run to our King, for He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). For The Word says: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). This means that no matter what we've done, we are to boldly approach and run to the throne of GOD where we shall obtain mercy and grace in our times of trouble, to quickly run to Him IMMEDIATELY if we fall into sin or need forgiveness! If satan can keep us from instantaneously running to the Mercy Seat where we shall be forgiven as King Jesus pours His grace upon us, then he knows he has time to approach the Throne himself as the Accuser of the Brethren (Revelation 12:10) to request of us that he may obtain rights to touch us and bring chaos and destruction. We learn this from the Book of Job. We cannot leave any room for the enemy nor give him place (Ephesians 4:27). We must get to the throne before he does; therefore run to GOD boldly, little children! Don't listen to the voice of the enemy, for he is the Father of Lies (John 8:44).

We must never allow anything to separate us from our LORD, especially the condemnation of the ancient enemy satan."Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:35-39). NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE GOD, FROM CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!

Now that we have covered the importance of running quickly and boldly to the Throne of Mercy and Grace, now let us begin to uncover together how to approach the Almighty GOD. King David gave us the most precious words of wisdom in this matter in the Psalms. We all know the story of King David, that he fell from the absolute favor of GOD into sin and condemnation of the enemy; but in the end he reclaimed victory and his right-standing with The LORD. We learn from the story of King David that we too can fall from our righteous path, but there is always a way to return in victory! We must ask The LORD to create in us a clean heart and to renew a steadfast spirit within us, that He would not cast us from His presence nor take His Spirit from us. We must ask Him to restore the joy of His salvation and uphold us by His generous Spirit (Psalm 51:10-12). Once we speak these words in the powerful name of Jesus Christ and ask Him to wash us as white as snow in the blood of the Lamb (Isaiah 1:18, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 John 1:7 and 2:2, Matthew 26:28, Hebrews 13:20, Col. 1:14), we are made clean and holy in His sight as we sing praises unto His Holy Name. Psalm 100 is one of my favorite passages to introduce how to enter into His presence. It instructs as follows: "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." PRAISE THE HOLY NAME OF KING JESUS!

This is a good start. In the next few letters we will touch on more scriptures that shall open the floodgates of heaven by entering into the presence of the Almighty GOD and into His gates with thanksgiving and praise. For He is worthy of all of our praise and worship, forever and ever, Amen.

Be encouraged in Jesus' Name!
"Now The LORD of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The LORD be with you all." (2 Thessalonians 3:16).
Keep us in Prayer that the advancing of His glorious Kingdom comes through us as we wait for His powerful day of arrival. God Bless you in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ The LORD!

We are the Lights of the World: So be the Light!

Dearly Beloved Church and Saints of The Most High GOD,

In this world there is so much darkness. With Christ Jesus The LORD in us, Who is the Light of the world: WE ARE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS! When we step out into the darkness, the Light consumes all that is around us. Everything that we touch turns to a burning flame leaving sparks wherever we go. As we walk through this world wielding the Light, everyone around us can see the difference and they notice there is something unique about us. Jesus said: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16). Therefore we are to let our light shine before all of this world! There are so many people out there who are lost, seeking a light of some kind. Little do they know: the craving they are feeling from deep within themselves is their spirit yearning for GOD and their soul crying out for release and reconciliation with Him. The only light some people may ever see is through us, and it is our commission in this life to spread the Truth of the Gospel of Peace into all of this world: The Truth Who Is Jesus Christ The LORD (Mark 16:15-16).

Being of this world which is bound in the darkness of the curse of sin, we must learn how to walk through it without allowing it to seep into us and cloud the Light within us. We must be in this world but not be of this world; for Jesus speaks in John 17 and 18 of how His Kingdom is not of this world and how we shall be hated for His Name' sake because we too are not of this world. We are of a spiritual kingdom; The Word says "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9). We are the Light Bearers who carry the torch for our King; just as in a race we pass on the torch of Light to the next person and the next person, planting seeds wherever we set our feet, spreading the Light of the world into the darkness of this world. GOD is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). His Word is the Light and Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD (John 1:1). In the beginning GOD divided the Light from the darkness, for we are a chosen generation and of a royal priesthood separated from this world (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

So how do we walk through this great darkness which is bound by the god of this world, who is the father of lies, without falling into his snares? We must have the Truth in us, upon us, and guarding us at all times! We must take on the whole armor of GOD, girding our loins with His Truth. We put on the armor of GOD as a soldier puts on his armor for battle before he goes out to war. We must remember that we are straight centered in the middle of an ancient war between darkness and the Light, therefore we cannot walk out into this world without equipping ourselves for battle being ready in season and out of season to draw all those unto Jesus Christ as we possibly can (2 Timothy 4:2). Jesus is coming again soon (Matthew 24:31-33), and He is the only Way and the only Truth: HE IS THE LIGHT (John 14:6). Jesus said: "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" (John 8:12). He is the Light that shines in the darkness, for The Word (King Jesus) is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105). If we who have Christ within us know that He is the only Way and we proclaim to love others in this world which for them we know He also died for, then we must share the Truth of the Light with all who we cross paths with and hold dear to our hearts. For Jesus said: "No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light" (Luke 8:16). We must spread the Light!

THEREFORE LET YOUR LIGHTS SHINE!

Be encouraged in Jesus' Name!
