THE ULTIMATE FAITH

19 November 2000
We have now studied about SUSTAINING FAITH, from here we moved to examine HOW WE ARE KNOWN IN THE SPIRIT WORLD, and then we discussed that there is NO POWER WITHOUT HOLINESS.

Once it has become known in the demonic world that a Christian has become an over comer - Revelation 3:12-13 - the only damage left for Satan and his hordes of demons to do is try to ENTICE the Christian and CONTAMINATE HIM SPIRITUALLY!

When the believer in Christ has learned how to keep himself from being contaminated spiritually, there is another step up in the spirit world, moving in PREVAILING FAITH.

            Ephesians 6:13

LET US NOW MOVE INTO THE ULTIMATE FAITH-

            PRAISING AND WORSHIPING THE LORD OUR GOD

Praise and Worship is the norm in the heavens, God’s holy angels praise him, the redeemed in Christ are praising him! Isaiah 6:1-8; Revelation 4:1-11; 7:9-17; 19:1-9

We can love each other, but not worship any person; we can help one another and appreciate each other, but not give each other praise, because praise belongs only to God.  Praise and worship belong to God alone.

The children of Adam and Eve were instructed to give offerings and praise to the Lord. Genesis 4:1-13

You and I must worship God on His terms, not ours.  Matthew 5:23-24

        Therefore if you bring your gift to the alter, and there remember that your brother has ought
        against you, leave there your gift at the alter and go your way.  First be reconciled with your
        brother and then come and offer your gift.

God is not pleased when people are sinning and complaining - 1 Corinthians 10:5-13

Moaning, groaning and complaining will release the power of Satan - James 3:14-18

When there is no faith - there is no praise and worship of God - Romans 1:18-26

When there is no thankfulness, there is no faith.  Not being thankful is a sin.

Ten lepers came to Jesus, only one returned to praise and thank him - Luke 17:11-19

Learn to praise the Lord before you receive His blessing - Matthew 8:1-3

Give thanks in all things - 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24

THE ULTIMATE FAITH IS TO PRAISE THE LORD AT ALL TIMES, DISREGARDING CIRCUMSTANCES! Philippians 4:4-20

       Vs. 13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord - Psalm 100:1-5
