“Worship that pleases God” John 4:19-26

7 Comments

“The Purpose Driven Life” –
Worship that pleases God– John 4:19-26 ~

Front Cover
Running Press, Oct 2, 2003 – 128 pages
Rick Warren, founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, one of America’s largest and best-known churches, shows you how to lead a Purpose-Driven Life. This Miniature Edition™ will help you understand why you are alive and God’s amazing plan for you–both here and now, and for eternity.

 

The Worship leader of First Church Big was having a problem. He never had a problem of putting together a worship service together to match the Pastor’s sermon but this Sunday he had met his match. He couldn’t decide what to do. All week he prayed and thought about all the choruses and hymns he knew and could not find one to go along with the Pastor’s sermon. Finally in desperation in the choir room he began asking the assembled choir. “I need your help. I try to match the worship music with the Pastor’s message and I have been stumped this week. Can you help me? The Pastor’s message this week is on the Biblical view of sex in marriage and for the life of me I cannot come up with even one hymn or chorus to go with his message. Any suggestions? It was quiet for a couple of minutes and then a small, elderly man in the back of the choir suggested we could sing, “Precious Memories!”
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The gods we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man will worship something —have no doubt about that, either. He may think that his tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of his heart—but it will out. That which dominates will determine his life and character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.”
Gordon Dahl put it more succinctly when he said, “Most [people] tend to worship their work, work at their play, and play at their worship.”

“In our gospel reading we encounter Jesus at Jacob’s Well in Nablus. Tired and thirsty he meets a local woman from Samaria and begins to gently expose her need of God’s forgiveness by asking her for a drink of water. A little defensive, she tries to engage Jesus in a debate about the best time, place and style for worship. “I can see that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” (John 4:19-20)

The woman tried to engage Jesus in a debate about the differences between Samaritan and Jewish worship. Jesus answer shows that external issues are really quite irrelevant.

“Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:21-25)

Jesus reveals that questions over where we worship are not as important as how and why we worship. Toward the end of the Book of Hebrews the writer explains, “Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him” (Hebrews 12:28 TEV). That is our objective this morning. To discover from these words of Jesus how to worship God in a way that will please him. We can observe from this passage that “the kind of worship that pleases God has four characteristics”:

1. God is pleased when our worship flows from being saved
2. God is pleased when our worship is scriptural
3. God is pleased when our worship is spiritual
4. God is pleased when our worship is sacrificial”

1. God is pleased when our worship flows from being saved

“You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.” (John 4:22)
Worship is linked to salvation. This is the most profound truth we can learn about worship. Only those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour can truly offer worship that is pleasing to God. Remember at this point the Samaritan woman did not recognise Jesus as her Lord and Saviour so her worship was in ignorance. Perplexed by Jesus’ reply, “The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I who speak to you am he.” (John 4:25-26). Jesus reveals himself to her. Amazed at his answers she runs back to her village to tell everyone she has found the Messiah. The whole village returns and urges Jesus to stay with them.

 

“Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony… And because of his words many more became believers. They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world.” (John 4:39-42)

 

The Samaritans of that village worshipped no more in ignorance. It now sprang from thankfulness for who Jesus is and what he has done for us. Worship that pleases God springs from a heart that is saved and will lead others to salvation. We pray in Jesus name. We proclaim in Jesus name. And we do both when we praise in Jesus name. God is pleased when our worship flows from being saved.

 

2. God is pleased when our worship is scripturally accurate

“true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.” (John 4:23)

 

Worship that pleases God must be scripturally accurate not scripturally ignorant. Occasionally someone will say to me “I like to think of God as…” and then they go on to describe a god they have created in their own image that they worship. The bible has a word for this approach. Its called idolatry. Worship must be based on the truth of scripture. Jesus acknowledged that there are two kinds of worshippers – true worshippers and by implication – false worshippers. “true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.”

 

“To ‘worship in truth’ means to worship God as he is truly revealed in the Bible.” The best way to worship God, therefore, is to use scripture in worship. The Psalms, for example, are a divinely inspired hymnbook without the tunes. Indeed our study of the bible should not only feed our worship, it should also shape our view of what true worship is. Our faith is based on God’s progressive revelation of himself. That is what Jesus meant when he said “salvation is from the Jews”. The Jews were intended to be a light to the Gentiles. But Jesus also predicted to the Samaritan woman that the time had now come when it was no longer necessary to travel to Jerusalem and enter the Temple or offer sacrifices to worship God.

Much of our thinking about worship, however, is still shaped by obsolete Old Testament concepts. Our churches seen as holy places, with altars and priests. That is why it is so important that our understanding of worship focuses on the teaching of Jesus and practices of the New Testament. If Jesus is your Lord and Saviour, your body is now the Temple of the Holy Spirit. This means we can worship God anywhere. No place is more holy than any other. If we limit worship to what happens in this building, the minute you leave, you will leave your attitude of worship behind like a crumpled-up news sheet.
So if we are to please God, our understanding of worship must be shaped by the Bible. For God is pleased when our worship flows from being saved; God is pleased when our worship is scripturally accurate.

 

3. God is pleased when our worship is spiritually authentic

“true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24)

 

“When Jesus said we must ‘worship in spirit’ he wasn’t referring to the Holy Spirit, but to your spirit.” That is to your innermost being.  That is why only those who have been born again and made alive by the Spirit can worship in a way that pleases him. We are to worship with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind. “God wants all of you.” He doesn’t just want part of your life on Sundays. Jesus told us to give God, all of our heart, all of our soul, all of our mind and all of our strength. Rick Warren insists, “God is not interested in half-hearted commitment, partial obedience, and the leftovers of your time and money.”

Spiritual worship therefore engages the whole person including our emotions. “God gave you emotions so you could worship him with deep feeling – but those emotions must be genuine, not faked. God hates hypocrisy. He doesn’t want showmanship or pretense or phoniness in worship. He wants your honest real love. We can worship God imperfectly, but we cannot worship him insincerely.” Notice Jesus insists ““true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.”

How ironic then that worship seems to be the most divisive issue in many churches today. “Christians often differ on the most appropriate or authentic way to express praise to God,” but often “these arguments usually just reflect personality and background differences.”
The Bible describes many different ways to praise God. These include, “confessing, singing, shouting, standing in honour, kneeling, dancing, making a joyful noise, testifying, playing musical instruments, and raising hands.” What is the best style of worship? Do you want to know? Rick Warren suggests, “The best style of worship is the one that most authentically represents your love for God, based on the background and personality God gave you.”

In his book Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas observed that over 2000 years, Christians had used at least nine different pathways to enjoy intimacy with God.
Naturalists are most inspired to love God out-of-doors in natural settings.

Sensates love God with the senses and appreciate beautiful worship services that involve their sight, taste, smell, and touch, not just their ears.

Traditionalists draw closer to God through rituals, liturgies, symbol and unchanging structures.

Ascetics prefer to love God in solitude and simplicity.

Activists love God through confronting evil, battling injustice, and working to make the world a better place.

Caregivers loves God by loving others and meeting their needs.

Enthusiasts love God with mystery and celebration. (The term ‘enthusiast’ is derived from a Greek root-word which means God-filled.)

Contemplatives love God through adoration.
Intellectuals love God by studying with their minds.

Rick Warren observes, “There is no ‘one-size-fits-all” approach to worship and friendship with God. One thing is certain. You don’t bring glory to God by trying to be someone God never intended you to be. God wants you to be yourself.”  Eugene Peterson beautifully captures the meaning of John 4:23 in his translation of the Message in this way,

“Its who you are and the way you live that counts before God … That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship.” (John 4:22-23 Message)

God is pleased when our worship flows from being saved; when our worship is scripturally accurate; and when our worship is spiritually authentic.

 

4. God is pleased when our worship is sacrificial and practical

“Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ? They came out of the town and made their way towards him.” (John 4:28-30)

 

What the Samaritan woman did involved great sacrifice. Sacrifice to her pride, to her self-esteem, a risk to what ever reputation she still had.  “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” Sacrificial and also practical. Indeed Jesus gently rebukes his disciples when they return and points to the Samaritan woman returning with her neighbours, praising her actions.

“Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.” (John 4:35-36)

 

In our second reading from Romans 12 we similarly, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.” (Romans 12:1)

 

Why does God also want our bodies? Why does Paul not say “offer your spirits”? Rick Warren explains why. “Because without your body you can’t do anything on this planet. In eternity you will receive a new, improved, upgraded body, but while you are here on earth, God says, ‘Give me what you’ve got … When you praise God even when you don’t feel like it, when you get out of bed to worship when you are tired, or when you help others when you are worn out, you are offering a sacrifice of worship to God” And that pleases God.

God is pleased when our worship flows from being saved; pleased when our worship is scriptural; pleased when our worship is spiritual; and pleased when our worship is sacrificial.

 

Matt Redman is a worship leader and song writer based near Brighton. About 6 years ago his pastor Mike Pilavachi did a teaching series on the theme of worship. This is how Mike explained what happened.

“With a spanking new building, a congregation wearing combat trousers, a PA system that cost thousands and links with the summer festivals, some might have thought that worship wise, a Church like Soul Survivor Watford had it sussed.

Over the years people have poured out their hearts to God through it, and there have been plenty of examples of great things happening as a result. However, in the autumn of ’96 we realised that something was ‘up’ with our worship. At first it was difficult to put our finger on the problem. On the surface everything was just fine; many of the musicians had worked out how to tune their instruments and the sound engineers were getting out of bed on time. Each service contained a block of songs that focused on the cross and gave people the chance to get down to business with God. To make this easier, the music was (nearly) up-to-date, the chairs had disappeared and the lights were low: what better atmosphere for young people to worship God?

Yet, we seemed to have lost the spark. We seemed to be going through the motions but I noticed that although we were singing the songs, our hearts were far from him. Was it Redman’s fault? I listened…he wasn’t singing any more duff notes than usual. Then it clicked; we had become connoisseurs of worship instead of participants of it. In our hearts we were giving the worship marks out of ten: “Not that song again”, “I can’t hear the bass”, “I like the way she sings”…We had made the band the performers of worship and ourselves the audience. We had forgotten that we are ALL the performers of worship and that God is the audience. We had forgotten that sacrifice is central to biblical worship. In the Old Testament, whenever the people of Israel gathered to worship, they sacrificed a lamb or other animal. In 2 Chronicles 7, when King Solomon and the people gathered to dedicate the new temple to the Lord, Solomon sacrificed 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats. Now that’s what I call a barbecue! The passage says that the glory of the Lord fell on the people and they prostrated themselves on the pavement and worshipped. In fact the presence of God was so tangible that, for a while, even the priests could not perform their duties.

We don’t need to sacrifice sheep and goats today and certainly no sacrifice on our part can earn God’s forgiveness or our salvation; the one perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has done that for all time. Yet we ARE called to bring sacrifices in worship. We are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices – this is OUR spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1). We are called to offer our sacrifice of praise.

We were challenged to ask ourselves individually, ‘When I come through the door of the church, what am I bringing as my contribution to the worship?’ The truth came to us: worship is not a spectator sport, it is not a product moulded by the taste of the consumers. It is not about what we can get out of it; it is all about God.

We needed to take drastic action. For a while, in order to truly learn this lesson, we banned the band. We sacked Redman!

Then we sat around in circles and said that if no one brought a sacrifice of praise, we would spend the meeting in silence. At the beginning, we virtually did! It was a very painful process. We were learning again not to rely on the music. After a while we began to have some very sweet times of worship. We all began to bring our prayers, our readings, our prophecies, our thanksgiving, our praises and our songs. Someone would start a song a cappella and we would all join in. Then someone else would take it on to another song. The excitement came back. We were not having Church; we were once again meeting with God. With all the comforts stripped away we worshipped from the heart.

When we had learnt our lesson, we brought the band back. It was at this point that Matt began to sing the song he had written out of this experience. I wept as we sang it for the first time. The words expressed exactly what was going on:”[i]

When the music fades,
All is stripped away,
And I simply come.
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart.

I’ll bring You more than a song.
For a song in itself is not what
You have required.
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear;
You’re looking into my heart.

I’m coming back to the heart of worship,
And it’s all about You, All about You Jesus.
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it.
When it’s all about You.
All about you Jesus.

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve.
Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours,
Every single breath.

I’ll bring You more than a song.
For a song in itself is not what
You have required.
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear;
You’re looking into my heart.

I’m coming back to the heart of worship,
And it’s all about You, All about You Jesus.
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it.
When it’s all about You.
All about you Jesus.

Amen.

What Does the Bible Say About… The Holy Spirit?

I wanted to share this Article by:  David Treybig of Vertical Magazine  

“I will ask the father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth…”

On the evening before the day He would pay the penalty for all the sins of mankind by His death on the cross, Jesus told His followers what would happen to Him. He explained what He was going to do for them—and us—in the future.

After Jesus observed the Passover—which Christians are still to observe as an annual memorial of His death—He told His disciples that He would answer their prayers asked in His name. Jesus also reminded them to show their love for Him by keeping His commandments (John 14:13-15).

Jesus then made this astounding promise: “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you” (verses 16-17, New American Bible).

Many translations use the pronouns “He” and “Him” in reference to the Holy Spirit in these verses, but this is an error in translation. The flaw springs from the mistaken idea that the Holy Spirit is the third person in the Godhead. The doctrine of the Trinity, which describes this common belief, is nowhere found in the Bible.

Instead, the Bible reveals the Holy Spirit to be the “power” of God (Luke 1:35; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Romans 15:13)—as well as His life force through which He imparts life to others, His mind and His very essence (compare John 5:26; 6:63; Romans 8:27; 1 Corinthians 2:16; John 4:24). .

An advocate is a helper or comforter. While on earth, Jesus was an advocate for His disciples. Various translations of the Bible also use the terms “Helper” and “Comforter” to describe this additional Advocate—the “Holy Spirit” (John 14:26)—that was going to come from God and reside in Christians.

What’s so important about having the Holy Spirit?

The Bible reveals several important benefits that come to us if we have the Holy Spirit. These benefits include:

• Understanding God’s truth. Jesus called the Holy Spirit “the Spirit of truth” (John 14:17) and added that it would teach us all things (verse 26).

• Being identified as Christians. Although well-intentioned people throughout the centuries have come up with various humanly-devised checklists to determine who is a Christian, the Bible says that having the Holy Spirit within us is what identifies us as “children of God” (Romans 8:14-16).

• The promise of eternal life. Romans 8:11
 says, “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you” (New Revised Standard Version).

How can we receive the Holy Spirit?

During another of God’s annual festivals—the Day of Pentecost—Jesus’ disciples, who had been waiting in Jerusalem as He had commanded, received the Holy Spirit in a miraculous way (Acts 2:1-4). Peter then explained how others could also receive it:

“Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call'” (Acts 2:38-39).

Never despise small beginnings… You have to start somewhere….

Leave a comment

“Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. “(These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range throughout the earth.)”  Zechariah 4:10

 

 Happy Wednesday to each of you… I bring you greetings from Irvine, California…  WIFI Ministries welcome you, and would like to thank each of  for you love and continued support…    

 

Today, We will be discussing small beginning… As we discuss, plan and build on what God has given us, it’s ok to know where you came from, but more so important to know where you are headed… We are headed in the right direction of our local ministry and I’m excited.. I’ve never seen a greater time than now to expand and build on to what we already have… I love the fact that God is guiding us every step of the way… I remember when we started our base ministry, 2nd Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church of Long Beach, CA, we started our ministry right in the living room of my father’s house… It began with  a few of my father’s preacher friend’s,  family and friend’s…  It was a blessing because in 6 weeks,  God had blessed us to have service in a beautiful sanctuary that was full of the anointing… There was never a dull service no matter how big or how small the crowd was… I can never forget the small beginning, and how God saw fit to bless this ministry to remain there in that beautiful atmosphere the whole time of our local ministry…  I do believe starting small is good, and allow God to lead us and show us his blessings…  

I will keep you all updated with the progress as we celebrate the life of  both of my parents birthday next week…  It’s a blessing to have them both, and I treasure all the happy times we have spent together, one on one or together… Yup, those were some of the happiest times of my life to worship with both  of my parents,  my Dad and my mom under the same roof…(wow~)   Two fireballs in one room… (lol)….   Not only that, but it was a time when our whole family was pretty much under one roof…  It was phenomenal and simply amazing…     I believe things are different now, and it’s important to recognize that God is moving in a new direction that we must flow in… I’m certain that as long as we flow in the Holy Ghost we cannot go wrong…   Blessings to each of you and I pray each of you have a blessed and wonderful week!!!  (Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas)

 

 

 Barnes’ Notes on the Bible / A great commentary’s view… 

“The simplest rendering is marked by the accents. “For who hath despised the day of small things? and (that is, seeing that there have rejoiced and seen the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, these seven, the Eyes of the Lord, they are running to and fro in all the earth,” 1:e., since God hath with joy and good-pleasure beheld the progress of the work of Zerubbabel, who can despise the day of small things? The day of small things was not only that of the foundation of the temple, but of its continued building also. The old men indeed, “that had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes” Ezra 4:12. But while in progress too, Haggai asks, “Who is left among you that saw this house in its first glory? And how do ye see it now? is not in your eyes such as it, as nothing?” Haggai 2:3. But that temple was to see the day of great things, when “the later glory of this house shall be greater than the former, and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts” Haggai 2:9.

They are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro – He uses almost the words of the prophet Hanani to Asa, “the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9 yet this assurance that God’s watchful providence is over the whole earth, betokens more than the restoration of the material temple, whose only hindrance could be the will of one man, Darius.

The day of small things – is especially God’s day, whose “strength is made perfect in weakness; who raised Joseph from the prison, David from the sheepfold, Daniel from slavery, and converted the world by the fishermen and the tentmaker, having Himself first become the Carpenter. “Wouldest thou be great? Become little.” “Whenever,” said Theresa, (Ribera, vita Ther. ap. Lap.), “I am to receive some singular grace, I first annihilate myself, sink into my own nothingness, so as to seem to myself to be nothing, be capable of nothing.”      Barnes’ Notes on the Bible / A great commentary’s view…

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20

Wherever we see the words “faith” or “believe” in the New Testament, they are usually a translation from the original Greek root word pistis. The noun form of the word, pistis, is usually translated as “faith” and the verb form, pisteuo, is translated as “believe.”

 

 

As I talked to God on last night and begin to prayer, and pray about current situations, and he always wake me up with the right answers.. He always provides a way of escape.. He provides answers if you want them.. Just fast, pray and believe…  I do believe in my heart that things are going to get better… Have to give a big shot out to all of my brother’s and sister’s in the ministry that pray and
intercede on our behalf.  Thank God for people that don’t have to talk to you, but you know that they are praying for you…  My FAITH is strong and heart desires are renewed daily… Yesterday is gone and cannot be changed, but I believe on today that things are gong to get better for all of us!

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas Proverbs 10:22 (KJV) 22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

  •  

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas You need to know how money works.. Problems occur because a lack of structure… Problems arrive because a lack of order.. Problems arrive because a lack of skills.. We have a lack of gifted people around us.. Problems arrive because a lack of relationships, and a lack of planning… When we are dealing with challenging times in our lives, we often experience 10 year gaps.. When you turn 40 something speaks to you different… in your 50’s if you don’t have courage in your relationships, it will destroy you… Blessing is you… That is to say something nice… The word blessing means to way kind word.. Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds.

  •  

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas God said to be fruitful and multiply… In Genesis God changed Abram’s name to Abraham and told him that he would make him exceedingly fruitful…

  •  

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas Now we shall be fruitful… Isaac is praying for Jacob.. He thought it was Esau when he blessed Jacob.. Isaac is praying on his son Jacob and told him to be fruitful and multiply.. He told him that your name is no longer Jacob, you name is now Israel, and I want you to be fruitful and multiply..

  •  

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas Fruitful and multiply you.. Not just to one person, but the whole family and nations.. God said I will have respect unto you, and I will make you fruitful and multiply you as a church, a family and even as a nation… They increased mightily.. God will bless you, multiply you, and increase you… Whatever you have in your hand is ready to multiply….. There was a woman that had only a little oil, and God said we are getting ready to make that multiply.. If you have stupid in your life, stupid will multiply.. Etc.. If you have leadership in your life it will multiply…. Ask the person next to you.. What do you have in your hand.. If you don’t know what you have in your hands, you cannot make it multiply.. You have to know what you have in your hand!!!

  •  

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas Jesus took 2 fish and 5 loaves and blessed it.. When he blessed the bread and blessed the fish he said be fruitful and multiply.. When he blessed it, it met the need and everyone was blessed… In chapter number 15 in the book of Luke, we have 3 major parables.. The lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son… In Luke chapter 9 – He had 100 sheep and lost one.. When he brought the lost sheep back, he laid it on his shoulders.. When he found the sheep, he was restoring government, because the bible says the government shall be upon his shoulders… IT speaks to order, leadership and fixing your life.. 1) You need structure… Structure means you have a long term life plan…

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas We have too many people that are not going anywhere.. Plan your life.. Know what you are doing and plan your life.. Plan your finances.. Plan a scholarship fund for your kids.. Plan your money…

    2) Values.. You have to have values… Excellence.. The attention to detail.. Attention to detail… The difference between a 5 star hotel, is attention to detail.. The difference of Versace Armani, is attention to details… You need values… 

    3) You need long term purposes.. The way we interpret life…

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas In the next parable, the woman lost a coin, and she called all her neighbors to let them know that she found it.. . When the church restores finances, the whole church rejoices because people start getting employed.. It’s the restoration of the benefits of tithing… It’s not going to open for you, but he will open you the window of heaven.. He opens you.. That’s why you tithe.. The bible says: when a man rob God, yeah they have robbed me in tithing and in offering.. Tithing is paying taxes for being on God’s earth.. If you don’t pay rent you are evicted.. Tell somebody to Pay your rent.. When a person is trustworthy, they can trust you with their finances because they know you have paid your rent….

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas The lost son… The Prodigal son.. There is a formula because he looses instruction… When he comes back the father says put him on the best robe, and the best shoes.. This is a restoration of government as well… This is a restoration of rewards.. Inheritrance… He gets the ring, he gets the shoes, and he gets the robe.. God is putting in our hands that other enterprises have built and don’t know what to do with it.. We call it the wealth of wicked.. It is not coming to someone without a plan or structure.. It’s coming to those that have structure in their lives.. The garment,and shoes God is putting on us is restoration.. Multiplication of anointing, wisdom, and character… Whatever God intent was for the world, we are now seeing it… In the book of John.. It says that God so loved the world.. Go yeah therefore and teach all nations.. We need to send people into the world that are trained and take what we have… .It’s a handful or yeast that you throw into the world is not intimidated.. It will be fruitful and will be powerful and multiply.. You can be Ruth and stuck in Mobii.. In your roots could be incest.. In your blood could be rage, but God will kill stuff that’s like Boaz in you.. He is not so interested in the place you are in but the place you are going.. It’s the Ruth that becomes the great grandmother of Jesus… You could be a Rahab, but allow a little piece of string to multiply your dreams.. When God takes the small thing and multiply you, there is nothing that can stop you…. When he meets Rachael at the well it said when he kissed her, it made her cry.. He worked 7 years for Rachael, and no pay.. After working for 14 years, the girls he worked for could not have kids… In the 20th year when he came to himself… He kept on stripping off his clothes.. The last garment he takes off before he comes to himself… When Jacob comes to himself he puts sticks.. but God took his ideal and multiplied it.. God will put grace on your formula and multiply it.. God is about to multiply your inheritance…

    Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas In your generation, there is stuff swimming in you waiting on God.. You are about reap inheritance that your grandmother and grandfather sowed.. God is about to make some things explode in your life.. This is the formula that multiplication works.. It’s not the sign in front of the number, but the number itself.. God is looking for one number. You have to serve… Before you leave church, put your name down somewhere.. You have to serve.. It can’t kick until you serve… How do I serve? There may be woman that may have not had a pedicure or manicure.. You give them one free, they will be coming from everywhere to get one for free… We command your relationships to multiply.. Bless.. The blessings of the Lord makes us rich.. We command your blessings in Jesus Names… ~ Bishop Tudor Bismark – Zimbabwe

        Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas Welcome Bishop Tudor Bismark to Empowerment Temple from Zimbabwe – Sermon – The minds on the Jericho road…. There are 10 minds on the Jericho road… Scripture reading: Luke 10:25-38 (KJV)
        25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

        29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

        30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

        31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

        32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

        33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

        34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

        35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

        36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

        37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

        38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

        Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas We want you minds to think like Jesus think… The first mind is in Jesus… Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus…. The 2nd mind is the mind of the contractor… The contractor that built the Jericho road… That Jericho road is a very vicarious road… Everything in life is never a straight line… The contractor on the Jericho road understood this… He knew that obstacles would come…. It never a straight line, but you have to be willing to take the obstacles and bend with the curves.. You have to be flexible.. The third mind is the mind of the Lawyer.. It represents the cynical mind of the lawyer who says that it don’t take all all of that… Well for some of us it does.. That’s why you don’t have what he has, because it does take all of that… Some people will test you just to see what you know… It represented a mind that has elevated it self above the massiveness.. It has detached itself from where they come from.. The fourth is the mind of the thieves.. It tells how a man steals bread to feed his family and ends up in prison, and he stayed there all of his life.. He was only trying to feed his family, and probably should have been given a lighter sentenced.. We will have thieves on Jericho row.. We have to change that by our standard of living… Number five… The mind of the Jericho life.. This traveler knows that there are thieves on this road, but they take a chance anyways.. Someone invest in you to become better in your life.. The Jericho road is vicarious.. When individuals take a chance on your life.. Not everybody that comes to you are for you… A straw asthmatic – will keep sticking a straw in you and keep pulling from you.. Ask what you can do for your Country not what your Country can do for you… The priest is traditional religion – it never goes beyond the fact of what you have to do after you get saved… If a priest touches a dead man, he is not suppose to touch anyone for 7 days… It will disqualify him from ministry… He is to ignore it and act normal, wear the robe and wear the ring.. You have to ignore all the stuff around you because if you do, you might end up just like them… Economic empowerment in Africa, we discovered that it’s illegal to design a vehicle.. There are trade laws and traditions that we are not Number seven is The Levites… They are so focused on the Priest until they don’t have time.. Number eight is the Samaritan class…. It’s on this hill that he imports Samaritans in marriage.. They did not want anything to do with them, so the created a road around them… The Samaritans mind set says even though they are a minority, I have a right to be on the road like every other trader… The road was built for my use… You have a right to be on the road.. I want the devil and his mother-in-law to hear very well, since I”m on this road…. It represents people that have no opportunity… Even though I come from a group that has a mindset to go into a ditch, am I going to lower my standard because that’s the mind of the people… Gandhi says rise above what you see… You might be the first the person to go to school, own a house.. He pulls the man out of the ditch, and he’s training in the big boys game… Healing agents to heal society.. He is training in some big stuff and not hanging with the people in the streets.. My mind can train in places that you could never imagine.. We have too many people that don’t need to be in hospitals.. It’s exposure… You need your mind open and not a band aid put on it… Who is the kind person God is sending to you.. A person that has rised above racial barriers… Some people that will work with you if you have the money, they will trade with you.. In the Christian world you have guys that are signed with contracts and they have no ideals.. Every now and then God sends you a kind person that will remind you that you started on the Jericoh road.. Somebody that will protect your property and know how to exchange and know a good person when they see one.. Tell somebody: your money is going to talk for you.. When I return I will repay you…

        Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas Mind number 10 is your mind.. The mind of the reader.. Where do you find yourself… What changes are you making… Let me go back to mind number three.. The mind of the Lawyer… “He who showed mercy on him” It was the right answer but he was not correct.. He should have answered the Samaritan.. The reason he did not say the Samaritans is because he was a racist… He would have then had to acknowledge that his client needed the same representation that his Jewish clients needed.. We have to think what will this thing look like 25 years from now… Do not allow your mind to be infected by irresponsible reporting by the media, neighbors, or those in religious sectors.. Allow your mind to be influenced by Jesus.. When he said to go and do likewise… Go onto that Jericho road, and represent them well that you win….. ~ Bishop Tudor Bismark

Someone kind at the University, Capitol Hill… For all those that are struggling, send a kind a person that will invest in them.. Send an in-keeper.. Send us the mind of Jesus that will be the mind of Jesus. The name of the Lord is a strong tower… ~Bishop Tudor Bismark

Thank you Jesus… I awake this morning singing loud that Jesus is more than enough for me..  Yes, Saints of God, Jesus is more than enough for all of us… Hold on to Jesus with everything that you have…. He’s the only one that I know that will never turn his back on you… He will never leave you, ignore you or forsake you… He’s more than enough!!!   God bless each of you and know that I love you all… ~ Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas..

 

Vicki Winans – More Than Enough

More Than Enough 

Blind Barnamais stood by the wayside begging 
he cried out to Jesus for he knew the chance he was taking 
the crowd said be quiet don’t bother him now 
but the more they pressed him, the louder he’d shout 
thou son of David have mercy on me, and today I believe he can see 

he is more than enough to make the blind man to see 
more than enough, to guide you and me 
He is more than enough to turn the water into wine 
he’s more than enough he feeds a family like mine 
he’s more than enough to heal all decease 
more than enough to wash the sin out of me 
if he can raise up the dead and give new life 
then Jesus is more than enough 

He said to the Lord, my daughter is dying at home 
then another man said, she’s dead, leave the master alone 
when he heard what was said his heart was greived 
he said be not afraid but only believe 
then he spoke to that child, I say unto thee 
arise and she came alive
