Worship through song is a powerful way to experience the liberating, chain-breaking power of Almighty God.

If you know me for any time at all, you know this is a constant theme I speak about and live by - WORSHIP CHANGES THINGS!

While it can be easy to sing praises to God after a victory, we know that David often worshiped before, during, and after the battles that he faced.

Because of David's genuine and constant state of worship through prayer and praise, David experienced God's ground-shaking deliverances time and time again.

David wrote many songs of deliverance and in fact said in Psalm 32:7 that God would surround him with songs of deliverance.

But Psalm 18 is something special.

Psalm 18 is one of the most powerful songs of deliverance sung by King David and is the longest Psalm of Book One.

It is also fully captured in 2 Samuel 22.

When God repeats Himself in Scripture, we ought to pay attention!

We broke down just the first half of this psalm in our online Bible study ...

Wow, what a Bible study we had last night!

As we dissected verse by verse of the second half of Psalm 3, we uncovered so many keys to unlocking the power of God.

The first thing we talked about last night in our Zoom discussion is found in Psalm 3:4 which says:

I cried to the Lord with my voice,

And He heard me from His holy hill.

                                                           Selah

This verse gives us a glimpse into the way that David worshiped God through prayer and praise: DAVID CRIED OUT TO THE LORD WITH HIS VOICE!

This was not a silent prayer or passive song.

David was PASSIONATELY VOCAL!

The MSG translation says, "With all my might I shout up to God..."

David let out a MIGHTY SHOUT!

With ALL HIS MIGHT!

And this moment of worship wasn't an exception.

David always worshiped God with EVERYTHING that he had.

WITH ALL HIS MIGHT was David's standard!

Here are a few more examples:

Then David danced before the Lord with all his might...

II Samuel 6:14

...

I heard you.

THE PSALMS - UNLOCKING THE POWER WITH PRAYER & PRAISE!

Bring about permanent and radical change to your life and daily worship through an intimate, personal relationship with God.

Since they were written, the Psalms have been a powerful source of personal inspiration and spiritual strength.

When we lack the words to say, we can often open up to the Psalms and find that the psalmists seem to relate very well to our emotional pleas and deepest thoughts. 

When we apply a psalm to our lives, often it becomes the first step towards our own deliverance. 

A song of deliverance from the Psalms can bring words that are like honey to our souls. The Holy Spirit inspired words bring comfort, strength, healing, and remind us to keep our eyes up toward our Creator. 

Let's unlock together the Holy Spirit's power through prayer and praise, by studying:

• each of the 5 unique collections that make up The Psalms,
• the anointed songwriters who wrote them
• the common themes that we can still apply

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

WEEK 4: When It Is BETTER to Just Be Silent - LISTEN NOW!

Being silent often takes more strength than speaking freely.

This IS. NOT. EASY.

But it is doable, when we know the red flags.

Take a listen and take note of the 3 Scenarios When it is Better to Just be Silent.

In The Power of the Tongue Online Bible Study series, we will be diving deep into Scripture to study why our words matter. We will explore what kind of fruit we are bearing with our verbal expression, how our words can either speak life or death into our lives, the generational impact our speech will have on our families, and when it is better to just be silent.

Episode 3: Make a Positive Generational Impact - LISTEN NOW!

God always thinks in terms of generations.

From the beginning of time, He has had the long term view in perfect focus.

Our All-Knowing God weaves together the story of several generations for His greater purpose. Every promise that God has made to Abraham, to Noah, to David, to anyone has been a covenant between Him and that person and their descendants.

To maintain access to those generational blessings and promises, our great responsibility is to see that our children know about God and His power.

God’s intention is that we teach the new generation how to speak with wisdom, pray continuously, worship with power, search the Word for truth, obey and trust in God, and above all love how God loves us.

WEEK 2: Choose Wisely - SPEAK LIFE! Listen Now!

 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue,

And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Proverbs 18:21

Will the words that you eat and serve to others be nourishing and healthful to the body or will they be like poison that cause decay and sickness?

Will your words carry death or bring forth life?

In The Power of the Tongue Online Bible Study series, we will be diving deep into Scripture to study why our words matter. We will explore what kind of fruit we are bearing with our verbal expression, how our words can either speak life or death into our lives, the generational impact our speech will have on our families, and when it is better to just be silent.

Did you miss Monday night's study?
New in 2021, every Wednesday afternoon at 4pm ET, I will be going LIVE on the Soul of Worship Ministry Facebook Page to do a full recap of that week's online Bible study!

If you missed both, you can watch the Facebook LIVE video here!

PLEASE NOTE: 

I did start off with a prayer over our nation since the timing of yesterday's live was shortly after things began getting chaotic at the US Capitol. 

I believe our role as believers is to proclaim the PEACE of Jesus Christ at all times. The authority of peace that Jesus gives us is the authority over all chaos. 

May we continue to pray for peace and pray for our leaders, every day and no matter who is in office. 

With that aside, dive deep into John Chapter 1 with me and receive a greater understanding of the following main topics:

• Jesus is the Eternal Word
• Jesus is the Light
• Receive & Believe = Supernatural Rebirth as Children of God
• Jesus The Word Becomes Flesh
• Grace upon Grace
• A Voi
