Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?  You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price.  So you must honor God with your body.  I Corinthians 6:19-20  (NLT)

Worship From An Alabaster Flask Part 1

Alabaster Flask Worship is worship from deep within the recess of the Spirit, it’s not for show off but the glorification of God. It is an overflow from within a heart that is pouring itself before God.

There two accounts of women breaking alabaster flask of costly ointment onto Jesus. The first one is the account of Luke which happened at the start of Jesus’ ministry and the other account was 2 days…

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Watching the evil and the good. (Prov. 15:3)

There are so many things, too numerous to count, that we can praise God for.  Before I start naming things, right now just look up toward Heaven and tell God "thank you" for allowing you to even tilt your head in an upward direction - there are some lying in hospital beds right now who wish they could do that.  And before you…

The Lord rules over the floodwaters.  The Lord reigns as king forever.  The Lord gives his people strength.  The Lord blesses them with peace.  Psalm 29:10-11 (NLT)

 We live in a world now where it may be hard sometimes to remember that God really is in control.  Crimes are being committed against our children such as I've never seen.  Weather…

My dad used to say that we all have a terminal disease…

Then he would quote from “Hud” (one of his favorite movies).

“You can’t get out of life alive…”

My dad had a unique perspective that most don’t get to experience, though. He had ALS, better…

Worship Isn’t A Carnal Weapon

Worship is vehicle that allows us access into God’s throne room and access to his presence. Worship allows us to express our gratitude and heartfelt desires to God, it is a blessing to mankind because it has opened a platform for us to commune with God.

Worship glorifies and blesses God and it’s in the process that you find that the satanic kingdom is destroyed. Over time we have learnt that worship is a very powerful weapon for…

Daniel 9:25a Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks.

Isaiah 44:

24 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself,

25 who frustrates the signs of liars and makes fools of diviners, who…

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord. They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness. You are their glorious strength. Our power is based on your favor. Psalm 89:15-17 (NLT)



The intentional worshiper is a blessed individual, as is the sincere praiser. Today's meditation is letting us know the positive consequences of those who answer the call to worship. First,…

Worship That Opens Up The Heavens

Today we talk about worship that opens up the heavens starting from the book of Judge Chapter 6, it is how God called Gideon made life his life peculiar. I always say that Worship is a response and that Worship is obedience, how many of us respond to God or his promptings. I pray that after reading through this article God will open your eyes and give you a life that responds and obey in Jesus Name.

Background to the story is…

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that  we are God's children because they don't know him.    I John 3:1 (NLT)

Love is defined many different ways; depends on who you ask.  It is a subject that when you ask ten different people about it you may well get ten…

I have a hymnal published in 1976 by Paragon Associates, Inc. called Hymns for the Family of God. I flip through it fairly often even though my church doesn’t really use hymnals anymore. It’s the hymnal that was used in the churches my dad pastored growing up. It’s familiar and I’m comfortable with it. I can easily locate my favorite hymns and the index is organized in a much nicer way than many other hymnals I’ve used. My favorite thing about the hymnal, however, is the opening…

Reverence comes from a primitive root which means to fear; causatively to frighten: affright, be (make) afraid, dreadful fear, tremble. The dictionary will tell us that fear is deep respect, if that’s the case then what does reverence mean. I believe that fear doesn’t bring us escape from God but bring us closer.

If you would read the Amplified Bible you will realize that they replaced the word fear with reverence. There is power when we come before God with our…
