In our weakness HE is stong

During Worship time last night in church, Brother/ Co-worshiper Tino Garcia had commented on God using us when we are weak. He said that he and many of us feel that God doesnt use us when we are weak. I felt this way soooooooooooo many times.

The bible says 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 says "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

His GRACE is sufficient thru my weakness........ im sorry but that just CRAZY LOVE right there.. we are so undeserving unworthy for any of His Grace and Love but that is Who He is...So Im gonna take this WORD and Receive it.. hold on to it.. and never let go..

What weaknesses do we hold on to today? laziness? sin? doubt? fear? self worth? etc.. the list can go on and on.. Let us continue to Glorify the ONE who has made us Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth . NO MATTER what we go through.. How we feel.. or what others may think of us..

(short but sweet huh?)

Thanks...

Is Worship Boring?

I Came across this Article..Is Worship boring.. and of course it captured my attention...

1 Cor. 2:14 "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised."

What does this mean? My opinion.... you can have a worship service that can be pleasing to God, but since those who are not one w/ God (not a believer but a visitor, or don't have a true relationship w/ God and the Holy Spirit/ or one whose problems & situation & sin blinds them,) cannot capture this Glorious act of Worship & Praise to God. Only those who KNOW Who He is, Who the Spirit is, & have a personal relationship w/ the Holy Spirit can appreciate The Presence and ACT on Honoring Who He is and What He is Worthy of.

So what if a person is born again/has a relationship w/ God etc..??? and still consider "worship" boring??? should we consider their "expectations" or "the worship leader"??? interesting huh?

John 4:24 "For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."

Hebrews 12:28 "Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe."

I wonder.. how people can just sit there..spectatin..hands crossed..etc while the Glory is pouring out
? God is amazing, in
His His Presence there is fullness of joy
! Wow
! whats your opinion

My Worship Leader Checklist PART 1

Howdie.. Being one of the Worship leaders @ the congregation of 27th Street Revival Center Camden NJ. (camden-revival.org), I have such a huge responsibility & have to make sure that I follow my own checklist.... Its not easy but it is an honor......

1st- MUST be chosen from the Lord. Matthew 22:14 "Many are called, but few are chosen"

2nd-MUST be faithful to Your Pastors and Church.. Sharing the same vision, Luke 11:17 "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall."

3rd-MUST be pure/holy in His Presence, living a righteous life. Hebrews 12:14 "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

4th-MUST know the Word of God and apply it to your life . Psalms 119:105 "Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my path, I will hide Your Word in my heart so that I may not sin against Th

TO BE CONTINUED.....

Y We Worship?

Have you ever wondered why we worship God? Well I've been doing it for a long time..:) I know that the bible says: Matthew 4:10 "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." it's a command from God. Also, in Psalms 34:1-3, I will extol the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together. If you are like me, have been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb, has been born again, and is totally in love with Jesus, then you probably have it no other way. In the morning:Worship, in the noon time: Worship, in the evening: Worship...Its just something that we as Christians LOVE to do..

So what does Worship mean? I heard Darlene Zschech say "Its giving due Worth to God".. He is Worthy of all the Glory, all the Honor, and all the Praise. To me, it means just passionately, lovingly, opening up my heart in Praise & Adoration to the ONE Who has set me free and the ONE Who loves me. That alone (freedom & love) assures me, that Yes He is Worthy of Worship.

WHY DO YOU WORSHIP HIM?
