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. 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.”
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.”
“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

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
