Seven Words of Release

Well, it's a blessing to have all these, what accompaniments and so forth, like the microphone and the piano. But if the Lord prompts you to pray for the piano leg, do it. Listen to that still small voice here. You may not be listening to that little piano. One of the legs cracked off completely while you were praying. And very gently, Jan, everything's going to be soft from now on. We're concluding this morning a series of teachings that we've been in for over. This is the fifth week now on worshiping the Lord in spirit and in truth. And as we come to really what is a conclusion of this series, I pray that the Lord would not have it be a conclusion in the growth of this truth in your life, but simply perhaps an interruption what the Lord has been doing with us in the morning together. And I know that for some there's been a lot of new ground that's been covered and I recognize that there's some stretching that's going on and I rejoice in that. And I'm here to tell you this morning that if you think you've been stretched till today, this is going to do it for you. The Lord has a plan for us today which I enter in with a little bit of fear and trepidation and yet a lot of anticipation because I know he led me into it. And I believe that it will be a point of real teaching and I trust a point of real liberation for some of you. And it's been a matter of to this point we've been dealing a lot with theory. We've been talking a lot about the essentials of why we want to worship the Lord in spirit and truth. And we talked about the knowledge of God as implicitly the goal of that worship and loving the Lord in it. And we talked about what it means to worship in spirit and truth, the words you hear so often in all our churches today that yet never really have any life to them, it seems. Then last week we talked about what takes place in us and through us as the Lord is worshiped and praised. Remember we talked about the loosing of bondages and those kinds of things. And today we're down to the nitty gritties. We've been working, as it were, on all the charts. Those of you who play in sports know that you map out all your plays and you get them all down in your head. But now you've got to get out in the field and do them. And today we're going to look at the seven Hebrew words that are translated Praise in your King James Bible. In the Old Testament, seven Hebrew words that are translated, praise. And I never realized fully the wealth of meaning that are behind those words. But I think, as you'll see with us as we go through these, that there's a whole lot more than anyone ever told us about. I never quite understood why they didn't tell us. But I do know this. Once you find out, it revolutionizes your openness to what the Lord wants to work in you. Now I want to stop. I want to preface that with two important thoughts without which you won't go on. The first one is this. There are two attitudes that you really have to have before we get to this today, or I'm confident that it won't ever get past your ears and down into your heart. The first one is seen in Genesis 22. Would you turn there with me? The first attitude that you must have as you come in worship is seen in Genesis 22. There's a rule of interpretation in the Scriptures called the rule of first appearance. The rule of first appearance. And what that means is when the Bible uses a word the first time, that gives you special insight into the meaning of the word every time that it's translated after that in the Scriptures. Not to say it exclusively limits it, but it gives you an insight into really the depth of the meaning of the word. Now, we could easily do a study that would take a couple of weeks in Genesis 22, where Abraham offers his son Isaac. But I just want you to see one facet of this truth. Let's begin in verse one. After these things, God tested Abraham and said to him, abraham. And he said, here am I. He said, take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you, just an absolutely hard thought for most of us. And without getting into something that will catapult us into the rest of the morning, I just want to say that the Lord never called anyone to sacrifice their children. But he did. There's a truth about the love of God that goes so far beyond what he even asks of us. And yet I see here that there's the opportunity for some people to say God is morbid and God wants his. But he never called someone to slay their own child. Now look what he says. So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his ass and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering. And he arose and went to the place of which God had told him. And on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off. Then Abraham said to his young men, stay here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder and worship and come again to you. That's the first time in the Scriptures that word worship appears. And from that, as a general principle, we can learn this one thing. Worship always requires an offering. Worship always requires an offering. And I want to tell you that if you are looking for a place to go to church based on how comfortable you feel, you're already in the wrong criteria. Worship always requires something of you. If you're going to be worshiping the Lord in spirit and truth, it's going to cost you. Beloved David said, you don't need to turn there to second Samuel 24:24, when he went into this threshing floor and a man was going to give him all that he needed to make an offering according to the Scriptures. And David said, I will not offer to the Lord burnt offerings which have cost me nothing. And so it is with us, isn't it? Many of the things that we do here, I realize, are new for many of you, and some of them are new for me. And yet I realize also alongside of that, that involved in that is an offering to the Lord. And we'll look a little more carefully at that as we go through these scriptures. But when we raise our hands to the Lord, that is an expression of our hearts that costs us something. There's not one person in this room for whom doing that didn't require some sort of a laying on the altar of your pride. Worship always requires a sacrifice. All through the Old Testament, we see the sacrificial system clearly spelled out. And then God in his own profound way, in Romans 12:1 says, what? Present your bodies to the Lord, a living sacrifice, for this is your spiritual worship. And there it is. Now, does he mean that we climb up someplace on an altar and dump gasoline on ourselves? No, he means that we give him our lives. And as an expression, see, all this that we do here is an expression of what we're doing in our heart. And we present our bodies to him as a living sacrifice. Now, the second underlying principle that you want to be sure you catch on to, and if you don't have this understanding, then what we're going to do for the rest of the morning will absolutely ruin you. The Bible says that we need to learn to worship the Lord with a childlike heart. We need to have the heart of a child as we come before God. Turn to mark 1013 real quickly here. I don't want to spend all of our time in this. Mark 1013. They were bringing children to him that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them. Good old disciples. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and he said to them, let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands upon them. The Bible is full of illustrations of what it means to have a childlike heart. And Jesus very clearly says, unless you have a childlike heart, you will never enter in to the kingdom of heaven. There's a profound way in which you will never be a man of God until you are a child of God. You will never fully rise up to the full stature of, of a man or woman of God until in your heart you've lowered yourself, as it were, to the stature of a child. And that is not an easy thing. Remember the story we won't take the time to look there in 2nd Samuel 6, where David was bringing the ark back to the holy city and he danced before the Lord and he did all these things. And the words there mean he turned around and he was just. He was totally free. And the Bible says that his wife despised him in her heart. And the word so captivates me because I think it expresses what our society thinks about those who would be free before the Lord. A childlike heart. Now some of us think automatically, well, isn't that really a cultural thing? I mean, are you going to bind me up to what they did back then? I mean, today we've learned some more refined ways of doing things than they did back in that culture. But I'll tell you something. Worship is never cool. And worship is never laid back. Worship is never so comfortable that we don't involve ourselves in it. And I know that if you feel like you're going to limit what took place back here to that era and that culture, because then you can say, well, it doesn't have any effect on me. And that's what many people have done with the Bible. They say that was for people back then and that's the way they did it. But somehow when I flip to Revelations and I see how people do it in the ultimate culture, they're doing it that way too. So if they started that way, and it ends that way, brothers and sisters. It's going to be that way in the middle, by the grace of God. That's where we're going now. I can't underscore that enough that if you are not willing to come to a point of seeing that worship involves a sacrifice and it requires a heart of childlike faith, then what we're going to do here in the next 15 or 20 minutes, you're going to be squirming away and that's okay too. The Lord may work something into you as we do that. I want us to bow our heads and just ask the Lord to put those two things in us. A willingness to offer to him a sacrifice of praise and the grace of a childlike heart. Praise the Lord. If you wonder if just sort of a reinforcement on the point about this being appropriate to today, it's worth noting. It's sort of an obscure scripture. Look at Psalm 102. Talking about the Holy Scriptures of old. In verse 18 there's this expression of truth. Psalm 102:18. The Psalmist writes, let this be recorded for a generation to come so that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord. Now the King James. Does someone have a King James handy? There we go. Thank you. Bro, are you there? Okay. There's a little different expression of it, I think highlights it a little bit better. Psalm 102:18. This shall be written for the generation to come and the people which shall be created. Which shall be created that shall praise the Lord. Where does the Bible talk about new creations? 2nd Corinthians 5:17. For ye who are in Christ are a new creature. And I believe that the very people that this scripture was talking about are sitting right here today. New creatures in Christ who have been created to praise his name. And that's the bridge, one of a number of them that we could look at. Alright, are you ready for the seven Hebrew words for praise praise the Lord? I've got to share this with you. I won't embarrass anybody in doing this, but the Lord in His infinite wisdom today, through one of the couples that come regularly to the community, brought a couple who are visiting with us today from a Jewish temple. And so they're going to share and even possibly help me in my pronunciation of some of this Hebrew if I need it. I just thought it was kind of unique the way the Lord does those things, just so he would make them know that we're getting to understand that language a little bit too. Alright, here we are. The Seven Hebrew words for praise. Now, what I'm saying about this, what I mean when I say seven Hebrew words for praise in your Bibles, this would be translated simply praise. But I'm going to show you what the root word means in every case so that you know what the author was really trying to say when he said this, which then the writers in the 16th century translated as praise. Here we go. The first word is hallel. And that means to be clear of sound, to shine, to make a boast. Thus to clamor foolishly, to rave, to celebrate. How many of you have boasted on the Lord recently? To rave about the Lord. Oh no. So enthralled with the love of God that you can't help but talk about Him. That's what it means. Some folks in our community are getting involved with people of the opposite sex. You ought to hear them. Did you ever rave about somebody like that? Did you ever find yourself talking endlessly about a guy. Or a girl that you just couldn't wait to see? And sometimes, honestly, doesn't it sometimes just kind of you want to say it's just too much? Please, no more. Well, in Psalm 113, that's how we're to praise the Lord. I picked out one illustration. There's scores of them for each of these. But praise the Lord, clamor foolishly, go on and on about him, because he's worth it. He's worth it. He's that lovely and that precious. And we're going to do that. Are you ready? Put your bibles down. We're going to hallo to the Lord for a while. What word do you see that's in that? Hallelujah. Right now all I'm going to ask you to do. And again, please don't feel that if you don't do this, you're not welcome here. But I am going to say to those of you who are regularly coming, we all need to take the step of faith. I just want you to speak in an audible tone, clearly shining forth. I don't want some one person to raise their mouth over everyone else. But I want us together to raise our voice and tell the Lord how lovely and wonderful and great he is. All right, we'll just do that for 30 seconds uninterrupted. See how long that is. Okay, let's do it. Let's focus on it. Lord, I love you. Oh, I thank you, Father. You're so beautiful. Lord, your precious love is a rock and our shield. You have loved me so preciously and I thank you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Magnify your holy name today, Jesus. Sing of your great works. Lord, I boast of your power. Hallelujah. Bless your name, Lord. Bless your holy name. How we love you and thank you. We celebrate your life today. Bless the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. Oh, thank you, Father. Jesus, Bless the name of. Praise the Lord. Praise God. Praise the Lord. Father, we would ask the Lord in the weeks and months to come to let that be a freedom among us. And when there's a time between a chorus or a hymn, then you're free to do that and you can love him out loud. Listen, I know I look out there and say, I know what you're thinking, and it's okay to think that. But remember what I said earlier. You just got to tell yourself, self do it. Grab your soul by the nap of the neck and say, get into it. All right, we're going to do it. Now, the next word, Which means to sing the hallelujahs, to sing praises extravagantly to our God, to celebrate him with song. Now, before you equate in your mind every chorus that we sing with this tehelel kind of praise, there are instances in the New Testament, and I need to tell you this, where the words sing and praise appear side by side. And the word sing in the Hebrew is different. And the word praise is tehelel. So there's singing and then there's singing. And I think this is what really the word talking about in the New Testament when it talks about singing in the spirit, which will have to be for another teaching. But 2 Chronicles 20:22 is an illustration of where you see sing and praise. And they're different. And the word tehilah is the word that is there for praise, but praise is that which the Lord carries us into. Ever notice how sometimes we'll be singing together and it's just sort of mechanical and we're going through the chorus list and people are saying, boy, this is really heavy today. Then suddenly the Lord will break it and we'll be caught together and the spirit will move. That's when we move into that. Now, there's no formula for that. But I know this, that the people who come prepared to worship the Lord move a lot more quickly into that than those who are trying to be convinced all the time and notice it's to praise extravagantly. I mean, we're so accustomed in our culture to being so conservative. Anyone here from New England, don't put them up too high. We'll pray for you, especially those Brothers and sisters have a heavier burden than the rest of us. But the Lord calls us all to sing and celebrate his majestic love. Now listen, those of you who are thinking, well, I believe worship is to be dignified. We've got one coming for you. Okay, let's all stand and we're going to sing that chorus that we learned. We're going to sing the second voice verse. Lift your voice. Then we're going to sing. Sing Hallelujah or Hallelujah. Okay? Jesus is lord. Jesus is. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Morning is Lord. Hallelujah. Jesus is Lord. Celebrate it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Jesus is lord. Hallelujah. He is king. Hallelujah. Jesus is king. Hallelujah extravagantly. Hallelujah. Jesus is. Hallelujah, lord hallelujah, lord. Praise the Lord. Glory to the name of the Lord. Okay, you may be seated. I might point out to you that this word that we just studied to Hilah, I said it four different ways already, is the word in Psalm 22, verse 3 that we looked at last week. The Bible says that the Lord is enthroned on the praises of his people. That's the word. Psalm 22, verse 3. Now the next one is about to get you. That is the word yadah. Yaddah. The word yaddah in Hebrew literally means at the root to extend the hand, to throw out the hand, to revere in worship with extended hands. Many times in the Scriptures where you just see the word praise. This isn't translated in your Bible. They praise the Lord by lifting their hands. It's just translated praise. So you'll never know it unless you know this. That's an illustration. Just so you see what I'm talking about. Look at Psalm 67, just so you see it there and recognize that I'm not alright. Psalm 67:3. I have to say it this way. And there's nothing ordinary about the Bible but an ordinary scripture. Let the peoples praise thee, O God. Let all the peoples praise thee. But it's not just talking about a halal kind of praise. It's talking about throwing out the hands. So literally it's meaning that kind of praise. You see how much of this we've missed over the years. We missed it all. It was all in there. Now, interestingly, the opposite meaning of the word in Hebrew is to wring the hands like this. W, R I N G. Yeah, 67 3. Wringing the hands kind of fearfully and morosely and grimly. But when you praise the Lord, you throw them out. And the Part there that says to throw out the hand. It means like you would throw a rock with power. You're throwing them out there. One time I looked in the back of the room at a person who was obviously new to the whole experience. Experience. And they were standing like this in the back of the room. And afterwards, I went back and I got into a conversation. I said, well, what were you doing back there like this? He said, I was lifting my hands and clapping. Well, that's not exactly what that means. Seen other people who've wiggled their toes and said they were dancing in the spirit. Now, I realize that I don't expect everybody to move into this tomorrow, but I do trust that by the grace of God, we'll move together into it. And when you raise your hands, beloved and men, I'm going to talk right to you. There is not an expression, expression that costs us more of praise than this, of our ego and our pride and everything that tells us that that's unnecessary, it's foolish, it's more than we really are required to do. Because the one thing that raised hands mean more than anything else is what? Surrender. Same thing you'd do if someone put a gun in your back. And I would be happy to do a teaching on this in an extended fashion. But another thing that I think we need to highlight is that when you raise your hands, getting back to the childlike faith, what does that indicate? Trust and dependence. You're saying abba, Daddy. The Hebrew word, abba, Father, Daddy. And you love him with your hands lifted up. Amen. Sing that again. That new one. Where is it from? Yes. Praise the Lord. Let's just stay seated as we sing this together. Jesus, Sam. Bless the Lord. Hallelujah. You ever notice it's more difficult to lift your hands when you're seated? There's a lesson in doing it that way, I think, just not really. It's the most awkward. Okay, so praise the Lord. Now, the next one is for you New Englanders. And the rest of us who have a hard time. Let's be honest. It's the Hebrew word. Go ahead and slide up, Paul. Go ahead, Barak, which means to kneel, bow down in a worshipful attitude. Again, just translated praise in Psalm 72:15. And there's a sense in which kneeling down is the posture that we all associate with brokenness and humility before God. It's interesting to me that the Greek word in the New Testament, proskaneo, which is most translated worship, literally means to prostrate oneself and anyone who prefers the more humble and dignified. Or as it were, I don't know. I guess more conservative worship can Barak can kneel down before the Lord. Now, again, in our culture, there's a whole raft of things that come up in us and say, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to kneel down. I mean, I've got my best suit on. But you can choose not to see the thing in this, brothers and sisters, the Lord never ever comes and says, you must do that. He says to you, if you will do it, then I'm going to bless you. And I want you to know something. As you find yourself in your heart, able to be released in this thing, in the flesh, as you do it physically in the spirit, God's going to work something in your heart in it. We're going to go ahead and bow before the Lord. We're going to do that very thing. And I'm going to ask the Lord, just as we minister to him, to do something in each of our hearts as an expression, an answer to our faith. All right, we're going to start with that same song again. Bow your knee and kneel before the throne. Before we start, let's all go ahead. Those of you who can get down there, maybe some of you for physical reasons cannot. But let's all do it. Praise the Lord. Bow your knee and kneel before the throne. Sa. Ra. He is Lord he is Lor he is risen from dead and he is Lord Every. Shall love every song. Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. You may be seated, brothers and sisters. Next word. Toda is similar to yada, but means has a little different meaning rather as related to the Scriptures. In particular, there's more of a flavor of thanksgiving. So it's an extension of the hand in adoration, avowal or acceptance. A confession of what God is going to do. A thanksgiving, a thank offering to the Lord. Psalm 50:23 is a good illustration of that. I'll read it to you. Need to turn there. He who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifice honors me to him who orders his way aright. I will show the salvation of God and the King James Bible. Whoso offereth praise glorifies me. That's the word that's used, you see, extending the hand in worship. It's. It's like yada, but a little different expression. I also need to add to this. That. This is the praise that's offered when you are expecting the Lord to fulfill his word to you. In other words, the Lord puts a scripture in your heart and you Adore him. You accept his promise to you and you say, lord, I receive that expression of promise to my life. You know what I'm talking about. When you're reading the Word and when you're just before the Lord and he speaks something into your heart from the Word or whatever, well, that's when you want to say, lord, I praise you and thank you for what you're doing and the flavor of thanksgiving that the Word is going to be fulfilled. We bless God. All right, let's sing that song. I will bless thee, O Lord I will bless thee, O Lord With a heart of thanksgiving I will bless thee. Go ahead and stand because I know you prefer to do that. Here we go. I will bless thee, O Lord. With a heart of thanksgiving I will bless thee alone with my hands lifted up and my mouth filled with praise With a heart of thanksgiving. I will. Bless the Lord I will bless thee alone I will bless thee alone. With my hands lifted up. Thank you, Lord. Bless your name, Lord Bless the name of the Lord oh, Jesus, Lord, teach us how to thank you and praise Father in advance for the things that you're going to do. And it's by faith, Lord. Lord, for each person here this morning who's trusting your word for a promise, let that tadah praise be on their mouth, Lord. Let the word of praise and thanksgiving, Father, cause you to order their lives aright and show your salvation to them. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Glory to the Lord. Praise the Lord. All right, you may be seated. Now, some of you have been sneaking ahead a little bit on this one. Next one is Shabbak, and I really apologize for omitting the guttural sounds and so on. I need to come out in this Hebrew Shabbach. But this means to address in a loud tone. Shah. Sorry, that wasn't it. That's what it means to shout. To glory, to triumph, to shout praises in triumph. Now here's where I need it. This one may be the toughest one for some of you because it's so linked in our hearts with over emotionalism. Same kind of over emotionalism you saw last Sunday afternoon. Turn on your TV this afternoon and watch some of these people at these football games who in 20 degree temperatures don't have any clothes on and paint their bodies and scream. I'm not serious. No, I'm absolutely serious. I know it is hilarious, but they make absolute fools of themselves on national television. All God's asking you to do is just shout here in this room. No one's going to care. Now, I need to say, too, on the one side of the coin, that's true. And for others, there are others for whom this expression is just delightful. And you always want to be shouting. And remember, the Lord spoke to us early on that he wanted to make us a symphony, a symphony of worship. And that means that each instrument's blended in and they're playing the same song. I need to say this, too, about a related kind of thing. When we think of glory and triumph, the one psalm that hits me right in the old between the eyes on this is Psalm 47. 1. Clap your hands, all ye peoples. Shout unto the Lord with the voice of triumph. And the clap, the clapping before the Lord, right? And well, we're going to do it, so get ready. But I want to say, every time we're praising, we shouldn't be clapping. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes your clap will just sort of, you know, people will dribble into the clap and it'll diminish something else that the Lord was doing. This is not a rebuke. No one personally in mind here, but just be sensitive. There's a time to clap, there's a time not to clap. And every time we praise, we don't clap. It's sort of. Especially if you've been around in meetings where people have done this kind of thing. The clap just tends to creep in there. And one day we'll do maybe a study on clapping. There's a lot of it in the scripture. All right. Do we have that study psalm ready? Is that on paper, too? Praise the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. That is why we're here, beloved, to worship the Lord and the knowledge of his holiness. Oh, hallelujah. You know, and we have that overhead again. The first part of that, it says, praise with the Spirit and with understanding. Amen. If you're here today with us as a visitor, we want to set you at ease right away and tell you that we're learning how to worship the Lord, how he wants to be worshiped. And as you go with us through the day, you're probably going to find some things that may be new to you because they're probably new to a lot of us. And we just invite you to grow with us, to share with us the joy of the Lord. But we want to do it with understanding. We want to know why we're doing what we do. Amen. We're not here just mouthing platitudes and doing what everyone else is doing because we Want people to be doing the in thing. We want to worship the Lord with understanding. So we're going to sing the chorus and the last verse one more time. And I want you to just tell yourself self, you need to do this today. All right? Here we go. Sing to our God. Hallelujah. Worship and praise our God. Hallelujah. Let's pray. Beloved Heavenly Father, as we come in worship and praise this morning, Lord, our hearts are overjoyed. Joy with the truth that Jesus Christ is alive in us today. Holy Spirit, we invite you to inhabit this temple, this living temple this morning. Cause there to be on your people, Lord. A garment of praise, Lord. Cause there to be on us a garland of thanksgiving. And Lord, let our heads be crowned with the joy of life. Lord, let our hearts reflect what we know to be true. Even though our soul and our flesh may tell us otherwise. That Jesus is Lord, that you're sovereignly on the throne and that we as your people come to bring worship and praise and acceptable sacrifices of thanksgiving to you today, Lord, teach us all what you want us to become. We give you the freedom and the liberty, Lord, to make us new creatures. Even this morning we ask it in Jesus name and we offer this prayer. And all God's people said Amen. Amen. May be seated. Hallelujah. We praise you, Lord. We bless your name, Lord. You are mighty, God. Your triumph is everlasting, Lord. Hallelujah. Bless the name of Jesus. Oh Lord. Work your works, Father. Deepen our hearts. Bless your name, Lord. Hallelujah. Oh, thank you. Oh, bless the Lord. Oh, bless you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Father. Oh, lord. How many of you feel that something was just broken inside of you right there. There's a breaking loose or something inside. Okay, I want to say again, hallelujah. Sit down. Just so that we might. We might possibly accommodate a couple other people here today in the spirit of the Lord. How many people, by raising your hand and putting it down quickly, would say that if someone had told you one year ago you'd be shouting in church, you would have thought they were crazy. All right. And understand. I believe. I believe with all my heart. There's a wisdom in it. And I believe in all my heart that if you'll learn to do this before the Lord yourself, God's going to be releasing things in you just that same way that you felt a release there. I felt a release in his whole body. I believe the Lord broke some things right there. Really did. Now the last one is a little more of a unique kind of expression. Zamar. To touch the strings of an instrument, to play music. No, I don't have little harps to hand out, but we do. Praise the Lord. And I want to make this expression and I don't do it enough, but I want to say it today. The Lord has blessed us with musicians and I mentioned last week and will continue that he's raising up a company of musicians and praisers in his body. But the Lord has supplied so richly and beautifully through Jan and Paul Sherman, just an abundance of work. I can't tell you all these overheads that they do. Every week we practice for two hours what we're going to be doing before the Lord. And they seek the Lord for this thing. And I know it would honor the Lord if we just appreciate them. Dave McCain who also accompanies on the guitar. And I thank the Lord for Him too. And so they're going to lead us in a ministry ministry by playing the instrument. Alright. Oh boy. Hallelujah. Now there is a thing to receiving ministry. I'm sorry, you guys just missed that. Just missed it. Oh, did you hear it? No, they didn't hear it. Praise the Lord. I want you just to receive, receive this ministry in worship and you need to kind of be free of distraction. So I invite you to close your eyes and just let that ministry lead you before the Lord and express your love to him. Okay. Praise the Lord. Amen, lord. Praise the lord. Oh, father jesus.
