Section 4 ~ LITURGY of The WORD ~ Lift UP Your HEARTS and LAMB+ of GOD

SECTION 4 - LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS and LAMB+ of GOD

[Ancient Hymns of the Early Christians ]

This section includes worship from the Early Christians. These words will be familiar to many because these early hymns are based in Scripture.

~ How the Early Christians Worshipped ~

A LITURGY is an order of worship to be used for morning or evening prayer, individually or in a family or with a group. It is designed for PARTICIPATORY worship. That is, no-one goes to sleep nor has time to let his mind wander away from worshipping The LORD.

Section 12 -- The Benedictions

Liturgy of The Word , part 12

[ Any or all of these Scriptural Benedictions may be said, chanted, or prayed to close the Worship. ]

Phileman, vs 25

The Grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST be with your spirit.

( And also with yours. )

Section 11 ~ The INVITATORY

The Liturgy of The Word, part 11

[ These verses are sung in an easy chant. Start at a low pitch and increase the pitch slightly higher as you go from verse to verse. ]

1 Timothy 1:15

CHRIST JESUS came into the world to save sinners . . .

of whom I am chief.

LORD, be merciful to me, a sinner.

NOW is come . . .Salvation and Strength and The KINGDOM of our GOD and the Power of HIS CHRIST: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before GOD day and night. Revelation 12:10

Section 9 ~ Our RENUNCIATIONS ~ The LITURGY of The WORD

In the NAME of The LORD JESUS CHRIST,

and through ALL the Power of HIS+ BLOOD,

and through ALL the Authority

that HIS+ Name and HIS+ BLOOD

grants us:

I RENOUNCE satan . . .

with all his works, pomps, worships, his angels, his inventions, his lies-deceits-deceptions and torments, and oppressions

And all beings that are under him.

And I renounce the vain glory of the world

with all covetousness of the same…

and the SINFUL DESIRES of my FLESH . . .

so that I will not follow them

nor be led by them,

by the Enabling GRACE of The HOLY SPIRIT ,

through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.

+ + +

And in unison with Our LORD JESUS CHRIST, I proclaim:

Get thee behind me , satan: thou art an offence unto me;

for thou savorest NOT the things that be of GOD,

but those that be of men.

GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN.

Matthew 16:23 and Mark 8:33

And in unison with Our LORD JESUS CHRIST, I proclaim:

Get thee hence, satan: for it is written

thou shalt worship The LORD thy GOD

and HIM ONLY shalt thou serve.

GET THEE HENCE, satan !

Matthew 4:10

CHRIST the KING+ of kings and LORD+ of lords

ever reigns on high;

O Come, let us adore HIM+.

+ + +

SECTION 5 --- The Great SHEMA

The LITURGY of The WORD, part 5

Let us hear The Words of The LORD JESUS CHRIST :

The Great SHEMA

Matthew 22:37- 40 , Mark 12:29-31, and John 10

The LORD JESUS said:

The first of all the commandments is “Hear, O Israel; The LORD our GOD in ONE LORD: I+ and My+ FATHER are ONE.”

SECTION EIGHT --- REPENTANCE and RESTORATION

The Liturgy of The Word, part 8

The meek will HE guide in judgment, and the meek will HE teach His way.

Psalm 25:9

SECTION SEVEN ~ Let us Search our Hearts

Liturgy of The WORD, part 7

From 2 Chronicles 15:2

The LORD is with you , while you be with HIM; and if ye seek HIM, HE will be found of you;

but if ye forsake HIM,

HE will forsake you.

SECTION 6 – Our Declaration of INTENT

Liturgy of The Word, part 6 ,
( with forceful emphasis )

For I determined not to know anything among you except

JESUS CHRIST and HIM+, crucified.

The LITURGY of The WORD

~ Section 1 ~

Proclamation and Worship of The LORD JESUS CHRIST

Worthy is The LAMB+, Worthy is The LAMB+,

Worthy is The LAMB+ Which was slain

To receive Power and Riches, and Wisdom, and Strength

and Honor, and Glory, and Blessing !

Revelation 5:12

The LITURGY of The WORD: Prophets and Apostles

~ Section 2 ~

I+, even I+ AM The LORD;

and beside ME,

there is no MOSHIYAH;

Isaiah 43:11

SPIRITUAL WARFARE #3: NOT by HUMAN Power ~ The DAY OF PENTECOST !

Note this well:
Acts 4:31 occurred AFTER the Day of Pentecost ! It was yet another out-pouring of the HOLY SPIRIT.
+ + +

We canNOT do the same works of power that the Apostles did, many say . . . a true statement if WE STOP THERE.

The FULL truth is this: We cannot do the works of power that the Apostles did . . . WITHOUT HAVING THE SAME BAPTISM of the HOLY SPIRIT, which they received on the Day of Pentecost.

Scripture tells us there were OTHER out-pourings of the HOLY SPIRIT upon them even AFTER the Day of Pentecost ! Acts 4.

Furthermore, these out-pourings of The HOLY SPIRIT were foretold in the Prophet Zechariah, as well.

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying,

This is the Word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying,

Not by might, nor by power,

but by My SPIRIT, saith the LORD of Hosts.

Zechariah 4:6

[ We recall the WORKS of power the disciples did when The LORD JESUS directly sent the 70 forth. They returned rejoicing that the [evil] spirits were subject unto them ! Luke 10.

The HOLY SPIRIT was upon them . . . but not yet WITHIN THEM, as on the day of Pentecost, 50 days after His+ RESURRECTION.

Our bodies did not become the Temple of the HOLY SPIRIT until after the Day of PENTECOST. ]

John 14:17
Even the SPIRIT of Truth;

Whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him:

but ye know Him;

for He dwelleth with you,

and shall be in you.

+ + +

We canNOT fight spiritual warfare in our own human strength. Human strength is NO MATCH for the satan’s strength.

We canNOT fight lying spirits via human determination. The satan’s will to destroy us is stronger than our strongest determination.

We canNOT fight battles with wicked, tormenting spirits with our mental abilities.

Understanding how satan works

does NOT equal power against him.

The satan understands only one thing: A supernatural POWER which is greater than his. He and his demonic spirits fear only one thing: The POWER of The LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Thou believest that there is one GOD; thou doest well:

the devils also believe, and tremble.

James 2:19

The satan and his wicked spirits were beaten once. The next battle will be forever.

We humans must obtain power from the HOLY SPIRIT in order to engage in SPIRITUAL WARFARE . . . VICTORIOUSLY.

In order to do this, we must set aside some time, energy, and determination to PURSUE The LORD JESUS CHRIST and His+ Baptism.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:

but HE+ that cometh after me is Mightier than I,

Whose+ shoes I am not worthy to bear:

HE+ shall baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT and FIRE:

Matthew 3:11

Although it is freely given, the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT will cost each one of us something.

It will cost us a LOSS of all Self-illusion, both good and bad. All fantasies and lies about our Self must be REPENTED of , RENOUNCED, and STOOD-AGAINST. We are not the “best” of all nor the “worst” of all people.

Next, it will cost us a LOSS of Self-indulgences. All of them. They must be REPENTED of, RENOUNCED, and STOOD-AGAINST each time they attempt to lure us into their grip.

Then, it will cost us all of our favorite LIES, about everything we think will make us happy.

This may well include our Beloved Church Doctrines . . . those which may not line up with the unadulterated WORD+ of GOD . . . to the very foods we eat and the clothing we wear.

We will be FORCED in the inner man to accept TRUTH, want TRUTH, and embrace TRUTH about everything that touches our lives. . . regardless of the discomfort or loss of friends TRUTH may bring.

When we FAST and PRAY for His+ Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT, HE+ will show us things to REMOVE that are inside of us, all things that place themselves above our LOVE of The LORD JESUS CHRIST. Loyalty to HIM+ is the top requirement.

Why should HE+ grant HOLY SPIRIT power to someone who has a half-hearted allegiance to HIM+ ?

The POWER from HIM+

comes to us for us

to DO HIS+ WILL, not ours.

We must be totally walking IN UNISON with our Precious SAVIOR+ in order to know HIS+ Will, then.

The LORD does not share His+ Glory with anyone. Remember:

For MINE OWN SAKE, even for MINE OWN SAKE, will I do it:

for how should MY NAME be polluted?

and I will not give my glory unto another.

Isaiah 48:11

If we SEEK THE LORD, HE+ told us, “I+ will be found of you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2.

If we SEEK THE LORD and His+ Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT in total honesty and truth in the inner man, HE+ will move.

Individuals can do this as well as a small group of dedicated, serious-minded CHRISTIANS who are agreed together.

The Ministry of CHRIST pours out of this Glorious Baptism.

Victory over unclean spirits which are afflicting the Body of CHRIST will be available. Works of power like as unto the Early Christians will come forth, for the HOLY SPIRIT never changes !

If we purpose to LINE UP our hearts and our lives with the unadulterated WORD+ of GOD . . .

If we purpose to REMOVE from our midst the pursuit of temporal values and even our “good” values which in effect nullify the WORD+ of GOD . . .

If we purpose to come closer to the LORD JESUS CHRIST in order to minister HIM+ and His+ Salvation to others in this lost, dead, and dying world . . .

Then HE+ will grant our plea and place upon us the STEWARDSHIP of the HOLY SPIRIT, with power and fire.

We must simply DIE to our SELF and LIVE unto CHRIST . We must allow HIM+ to do with us whatsoever HE+ desires.

We must take the claim of OWNERSHIP of our lives OUT our hands and place it into HIS+, for real and for all time.

What? know ye not that your body is the Temple of the HOLY SPIRIT which is in you, which ye have of GOD and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a Price:

therefore glorify GOD in your body, and in your spirit,

WHICH ARE GOD'S.

1 Corinthians 6: 19-20

When our lives are emptied out of Self and ALL its temporal goals and we pursue The LORD JESUS CHRIST and His+ Baptism, HE+ will bring us into the Glorious Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Then it is that we can ENGAGE in spiritual warfare

to rescue souls, heal the sick, and defeat the enemy . . .

to the GLORY of our LORD JESUS CHRIST

and GOD our FATHER !

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: How to Engage the Battle . . . And How NOT to ! A REAL-LIFE Account

Yes, we are told to resist the devil and he will flee from us. That is TRUE. But there is a FIRST step that must be taken or all our resistance is in vain.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE PRINCIPLE #1: The INTEGRITY of a MUSTARD SEED . . . Do WE Have it ?

The CRUCIAL issue is NOT the amount but rather the INTEGRITY of our faith.

That is . . . are we SOLD OUT to The LORD JESUS CHRIST , through and through ?

The FEAR of GOD --- The FORGOTTEN MESSAGE of the CHURCH --- How to DEVELOP the FEAR of GOD in ORDER TO SAVE MEN'S SOULS

Why are there no Conversions to CHRIST ?

Could it be we have forgotten something ?

Is there something MISSING from our current "invitation to CHRIST? "

The Case for the Destruction of the United Methodist Council of Bishops

HOLY CENSERS Will Not Protect You

Numbers 16

SINCE WHEN has it been necessary to call a meeting to decide if The WORD+ of GOD is correct ?

1 JOHN 1:9 is NOT for "Everybody" ! Well then . . . how are our Sins REMOVED ?

HOW DO WE CLEANSE OURSELVES

FROM OUR SINS ?

Scripture speaks of TWO DIFFERENT WAYS to TWO DIFFERENT sets of people for the cleansing of sin.

We know this is TRUE because of TWO SCRIPTURES: ACTS 2:38 and 1 JOHN 1:9.

WARNING: ENNEAGRAMS and CHRIST JESUS Do Not Mix !

Followers of JESUS:

Beware of the Deception of the Enneagrams of Personality Teaching which is making its rounds through the modern church circles.

This — and other — new age teachings are being ACTIVELY promoted by Richard Rohr, an apostate Franciscan priest in New Mexico.

What is SIN, to Mr. Rohr ?

“GOD is like a spinning top of love inside of every living creature. Everything grows from within. When you squelch that inner life force, I think that is the real meaning of SIN. “You” die.”
