Embracing True Worship: Surrender, Transformation, and New Life

1. "Praise and worship. They're not the same thing. They're very different. In fact, praise and worship are not interchangeable terms. But they're very related. Because praise is the outward demonstration. It's always, everybody say, demonstrative. It has noise and actions associated with it. But worship is the condition of a heart. Worship denotes to lay your face down on the ground in total surrender and to worship. So when you would come before the king, you would come and lay your face on the ground in hopes that he would lower that scepter and you wouldn't die."

2. "God, I give you glory and praise. The Bible says, let everything that has breath praise the Lord. That's a requirement. And the only people that are disqualified from praise are dead people. Because it says the dead praise him not. So if you're dead today, you don't have to praise God. But if you still got breath in your body. Let everything. Not some things."

3. "The Bible says sing a new song unto the Lord it says play skillfully on your instruments and sing a new song amen my soul doth magnify the Lord when we start praising God it's not something we do with our lips alone it's something we do with our soul something inside of us says I just got to praise him and so I can't express it like I really want to express it so I'm going to sing unto the Lord my soul says yes to the Lord."

4. "The Bible says that the angels look into what we got you know what that tells me the angels are curious what's different about what they got you know why because we were souls made subject to vanity so that we might have a hope in god literally we are living an empty life without god and so when we found god god filled the void that was inside of us and now our passion for god is great and we could today if we chose go do whatever we wanted to and violate god but we choose not to and it's so amazing that the angels look at us and say what is this holy ghost that's in them why is it so powerful that he could take a sinner that was living one way yesterday and turn him into a saint of god that's rejoicing today what is this miracle."

5. "Real life is not hanging out at the bar till 3 a .m., coming home and having a happy day. It's not hanging over the next day and puking your guts out. But I'm going to tell you, real life is when you've got freedom in Jesus and you've got no sorrow with it. I said when you've got freedom in Jesus and you've got no sorrow. The Lord makes rich and he adds no sorrow with it. God's got a blessing for your life today. And you know what? It's totally free. It's totally free."

6. "When we do the will of God, God has everything we need. You hear me, young men? God pays good. God pays good. When we were sitting at that table talking about your wages, Michael, when I said what I said, don't think for a second. I'm. I'm just some guy sitting at a table talking. I know what I'm talking about. You keep your spirit right, and you watch what God will do. Because if you've been underpaid, then God will make up the difference."

7. "I feel like this word today is so important. That you understand. It doesn't matter if it's a nation or if it's little old me. God controls everything. He's in control. I said he's in control. He's in control of the universe. We don't have planets running into each other. We don't have stars blowing up into each other. We're not worried about comets hitting our head tomorrow. Why? Because God knows. In fact, the Bible says he knows the number of your days." [01:28:26] (31 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


8. "How much more will he supply our needs for the Paschal OS of little faith? How much more will he give us food to eat, clothing to wear, and a mission and a purpose? How much more will he give us a purpose in life? And how much do we pursue trying to secure our future so that we won't have any problems? When we can't even control the problems in our life. You can't control when the tornado is coming." [01:29:38] (25 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


9. "You can't control when countries erupt into war. You can't control. But you can. Put your confidence in a God. That is in control. You can't stop it. But you can trust God who's in control. And so. So, so, so you see the phases of life and then God. I came in and I, I knelt down next to dad's office next to his chair and I handed him a note and I said, listen, this is what I want to do. I'm gonna give you these five things. And one of those five things was I'm committing to, uh, I said, I'm gonna serve you for one year."
