Dear WORSHIP NATION.
I am so blessed to have each and everyone of you join me for this
MONSTER PRAISE PARTY. (February 19-20)
They asked me, "will you preach the word at this event?" OF COURSE!!
I.
Ephesians 5:18 says: BE NOT DRUNK WITH WINE but BE YE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT.
Speaking to yourselves, Speaking (among yourselves) Speaking to yourselves
with Psalms, Hymns, and spriritual songs.
Why? to encourage ourselves. To encourage others in the body of Christ.
-We sing to eachother
-We sing to ourselves
-We create...A MONSTER PRAISE PARTY (Thanks Josh for coining this phrase)
David organized 4000 musicians. (I Chronicles 15:1) What? yes, 4000 jamming God's praises.
So dont be shy about blasting your intsrument. You are preaching and testifying with your axe.
(So if I randomly point to you onstage...bust out your baddest lick spontaneously. I am not kidding ...be ready)
Psalm 66:2 says: Make His praise Glorious...make his praise Glorious...Make his praise Glorious.
It has to be glorious. The hebrew words Towdah, Halal, Tehillah suggest Super Bowl style
excitment....FOR THE KING!! (The black-eyed Peas aint got nothing on this)
-A Precession.
-A Fanfare
-A parade for the KING OF GLORY
HE IS THE KING OF GLORY...HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU (like the commercial)
I'll fight for you commercial
Psalm 24:8 says: Who is the king of glory? The Lord God strong and mighty (Not weak)
The Lord God mighty in battle.
OUR KING FIGHTS ON OUR BEHALF....WE CELEBRATE THIS WITH A FANFARE.
II. You are indoctrinating the church through Song
Back in the Martin Luther days, It was hard to get the printed word out plus folks were illiterate. It was and still is so vital to get the word into people so they can stay rooted in Christ. So guess what?
They put God's word and doctrination in the Hymns!!!
Folks went around singing the Word.....THATS WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING!!!
Get the church singing and straight up partying in Jesus.
(There aint nothin better than to hear Pastor Ed preach and shout: YOU NEED TO PERSEVERVE!!!!) man than stays in your spirit.
We're telling you the same thing tonight...were just singing that message!!!! Echoeing the message..
SING A SONG...YOUR ONE PRAISE AWAY FROM YOUR BREAKTHROUGH...SING A SONG
Isaiah 54:1 says: Sing oh barren women, you who never bore a child; Shout for joy. SING OVER YOUR BARREN SITUATION BY FAITH. Your almost there..you're one praise away...you're one dance away...hold on!!
III. NOW ADD THE WINE. Its not a real party without wine!!
Be not drunk with wine.....cuz we got the new wine. Folks will be sipping the good stuff that night.
We invite the Holy spirit to fill the place...I want to see people carried out drunk in the holy ghost...I remember seeing that back in the day...lets bring it back...Let folks get filled....intoxicated in the Spirit.
The saints of God need this...we are equipping the Saints....administering the NEW WINE.
