Empowered Worship: The Transformative Power of Sound

1) "Living a life for Jesus Christ is punishment. It just keeps putting the black eye on the devil's face, and so we just want to do that. That's why he don't like you so much, but we are here to worship God, and we've learned that through worship, we gain power. We gain power through worship. When we worship with God, it connects us to him. It creates an open channel for him to be able to pour into us, and we receive power to be open to God. So, thank you, God, for this. Overcomers in this life through worship." [03:01] (33 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2) "When we speak, God has created us so that when we speak, it makes things happen. When we worship, things happen. In the earth. Not just in the spirit, but in the earth. The elements are subject to us. This is how Jesus could get up and command the wind and the waves to cease, and it just, poof, it stopped. It stopped. Jesus never did anything on this earth. He did it all as a man filled with the Holy Spirit. So he shows us our potential. This is why we talked about this Wednesday night in our Bible study. We are to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ." [14:31] (53 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3) "Agreement is a place of power. In acoustics, when two manifest, manifestations of the same frequency in phase with one another come together, they double their amplitude. In other words, when two sounds are in agreement, they create an exponential power. In other words, you have the two frequency, the two parallel frequencies. If they are both going positive at the same time, both going negative at the same time, their amplitude, in other words, how loud they are, is not just double, it's exponential. That's where one can put a thousand to fly, two can put ten thousand to flight." [16:47] (37 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4) "Music and worship are manifestations of a use of frequency that affects people internally. All of us have experienced the sensation of exhilaration or being deeply moved by music. The Bible even instructs people of faith to use music in their worship of God. Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord, Ephesians 5, 18 -19. Perhaps in the beginning, God himself even sang the creation into existence. In any event, the whole physical universe is still vibrating from his creative voice." [18:33] (42 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5) "When we sing songs of praise, when we join the heavenlies in their songs of praise and their worship and adoration of God, we get in tune with heaven and power is dispersed to us because we're worshiping God and we're joining in with the heavenlies. There's a study that shows the frequency of a bee's wings that's around 270 to 280 hertz, which is typically in the key of C. You can hear bees and their wings are typically in the key of C because the key of C is 270 to 280 hertz. And it is purported to relax and bring some relief of PTSD."

6) "When we have food y 'all are working in harmony y 'all working in harmony let's just forget this last time that i messed y 'all up but we're working in harmony because always Some of you, you're good at this main dish thing, and some of you are good at these desserts, and some of you are good at these side dishes and stuff, and some of you, it's just, you know, you have your own specialties that you're good at, and you bring them together, and I am the beneficiary. Well, y 'all are too, but I'm the beneficiary." [31:52] (35 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


7) "When we speak, the sound waves not only carry the message spoken, but also creates an impact on the person on the receiving end. At times, this impact lasts forever. If it's sweet, it can boost a person's energy and bring out good. There is a scientist, Japanese scientist, Dr. Masaru Emoto, did some research on words, words that are spoken. What he did was he took three, he did it on plants, but then he did it on water. So, there was one, they had three plants, three different rooms of plants, and in one room, they didn't say anything. Total silence. Didn't say anything at all. Kept it quiet." [33:01] (48 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


8) "The scripture says that the power of life and death are in the tongue. And you can eat the fruit of it, life or death. You can have power. We have to guard our tongue. We have to guard what we say. Because it has power over people. We think we're just saying stuff. We think we're just, I just got to get this off my chest. Well, you need to give it off your chest to God. I mean, there are times when we're in a relationship and we can talk and stuff like that. But the thing is, we have to, I'm not saying you can't ever say anything negative. But I'm saying we've got to consider the power of our words."

9) "When you use your voice to worship God. When you sing or say things of praise and adoration to God. You're not only creating a connection to God. You're actually creating an atmosphere in your place. Wherever you are. You're creating an atmosphere. You're changing it at the molecular level. The enemy doesn't want us to get a hold of this. That when we worship God, we change the atmosphere. We don't have to react to the atmosphere except to worship God. When we have a negative reaction, we always react negatively. It creates those crystals that are ugly. It creates hurt." [41:14] (44 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


10) "We must worship God. In our lives. Not just here. Not just, don't wait until Sunday morning to worship. You cannot exist that way. When life gets difficult, when things get difficult, you don't have to sing because, you know, some of y 'all, some of y 'all, it may not be pleasant for people. But just pray. Just, Lord, I worship you. Lord, I thank you. You can sing by yourself, you know. God loves your song. My dad said the same God that made the crow's song, made the mockingbird's song. But you can worship him with your mouth. Worship him. God, I just thank you." [52:49] (41 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
