Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :)


1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit.
*In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6)
* In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love

"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24

2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place!

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
    Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4

How and when can we teach worship to the Angels?
Angels Vs. Us
Angels
1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin
2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven)
3) The first conscious thought of angels was God, hence programmed to worship Him
Us
1) We were under the course of sin until we accepted Christ as our personal Savior ( Those who haven't accepted Christ as their personal Savior are still under the course of sin).
2) We live in a broken world
3) Our first conscious thoughts are far from God, hence why we need to be in the spirit and in truth  to be His true worshipers.

But, even in these circumstances when we choose to worship God, is when we can teach the Angels to worship. Let's take Job as a great example!

Job Worshiped God when he had everything

"6 One day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land." Job 1:6-10

Job Worshiped God even after he lost everything

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
    and naked I will depart.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
    may the name of the Lord be praised.” Job 1:21


Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender!  1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the  substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends,  although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,  I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend  for the faith  that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come t...

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :)   When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that  it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
