7 days on...

Hey Everyone

So why havnt a posted for one whole week?
We'll basically I decided just to fast the internet for 1 week, not that im addicted to it, or anything, but just to givbe it up...so I did...so I never posted...so this might be long...

Okay so this past week (mon to thurs) has been ridicullus, i hav never gone under so much spiritual attack before, satan was really just milking me, trying to get me to stumble before I lead worship on friday, I got physically sick, i got tempted, spiritually i battled it was overboard...but God kept me going...

Worship @ reflex on friday was amazing, the sound was perfect, and more importantly God was glorified and everthing worked PERFECTLY!!! even after a sound check with 10000000 things going wrong...our lead electric guitar player's amp effect setting stoped working...and our sound technition said it was broken...and we really needed those effects to play most of our songs...so as a group we prayed and asked God to fix the amp...and he did...and it worked perfectly...(and still is) we also introduced a new song...the freedom we know (lyrics are below - scrool down) and the guys really took hold of it...so that was cool...so ya it was rad...glory all to God

Saturday was rad...i served as a waitor...for a summer camp fundraiser...it was alot of fun...but cool

Sunday (Today)marked the end of 3 years of Kids ministry...as I taught my grade 7 boys from sunday school for tha last time...next year God has called me to step away from childrens ministry...and concentrate on worship..so im very ampted!!!

My last lesson that I gave to the Gr.7 boys was on worship...so I decided to paste it in here...so you can see waht it was...

Worship

What a rad “last topic’ for me to talk on, it’s something that I am SUPER passionate about and I couldn’t have a better topic to talk about in my last Promiseland lesson…Lets open in prayer…

Okay? Lets go through the basics
What is Worship? A definition I like is a response to the revelation of God, and his glory, whether that response be musically, physically, or the way in which we live our lives, that’s what worship really is!

Okay so there are many different ways of worshiping God…Lets take a look at some of them

Lifestyle Worship (Romans 12 v 1 to 2; Ephesians 4 v 1; 1 Peter 2 v 11)
Yes we all know that worship is a lifestyle, in fact, im sure that you probably have heard it several times, but what does that REALLY mean, what is it to worship God through our lives? Read Colossians 3 v 17, that’s what lifestyle worship is, giving glory to God in everything we do, praising his name through the way we live our lives, picking up our cross, and sacrificing (Mark 8 v 38) Making God stoked through the way we live!

Musical Worship (Psalm 150; Psalm 33 v 3; Psalm 47 v 1; Psalm 87 v 7)
Musical Worship, so many ways of worshipping God, musical worship is just one of them, but why music? Well music is an international language, and it brings amazing unity…But lets look at musical worship more closely

The Words

The words of the songs you sing are VERY important, DON’T sing them if you cant live it out, you need to worship God in Spirit and Truth (John 4 v 24) God desires truthful worshippers (John 4 v 23)

The Music
Its not about the music, whether it be a hymn or a Hillsong United, it doesn’t matter, yes I do prefer loud praise music, but it’s thje WORDS we need to look at, don’t judge a song by music, take a closer look at the WORDS!

Your Worship
People worship God in different ways, some guys like to just sit in silence, some like to jump around and dance, it all depends…but whatever…worship God uninhibited by what others think, become UNDIGNIFIED (2 Samuel 6 v 21 to 22) far to often we are held back but what others think, yes don’t be disrespectful to others but worship in spirit and truth

Other Types of Worship (Colossians 3 v 17)
There are many different OTHER ways to worship God, be creative, here are some practical ways
Drawing
Use your art or graphic design to worship and praise God, just draw something FOR him, and to WORSHIP him
Letters, Poems etc
Use letters and poems etc, to worship God
Songwriting
Write songs or compose songs that glorify God
Walking…
Go for a walk or hike, and worship God for his creation etc

Okay just 4 idea’a and im sure there are MANY more, worship God in everything


So that’s it, my last message to you guys, don’t forget, apply to your lives (James 1 v 22 to 25)…worship is a super important thing…lets make it a priority in our lives

Cellphones

Hey There…

So how dya like the blog’s new look??? Lemme know…(by commenting on the blog)

There also is not too much traffic on this blog…so spread word about it….anyway

So my mom went to this talk the other day on cellphone’s…did you know cellphones cause cancer and infertility in men…so when your cellphone is on you, it should be off..also sleeping next to an “ON” cellphone is shocking for you, basically what happens is EMF radiation cooks your brain…promoting rapid cell division...cause cancer and tumours…it also cause men to become sterile…scary stuff!!

Cya……

Ballons of Water

The Freedom we know

Intro
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
‘Cause the freedom we know is
gonna last forever

Verse 1
The world turns in all of its ways
But I'm soul set on a holy name
And when all earth is said and done
Still I will praise Him

Verse 2
There's no end to the love that He gives
And now broken dreams have life again
In the hope of the risen King
So let us praise Him

Pre Chorus
A mystery unthinkable
That He took the fall just to save my soul
Now to love is the life I know
On and on and on we’ll be singin’

Chorus
Soul set free in the One I love
Oh come on come on
And let the whole earth sing
In the freedom we know
So come on come on and praise Him

Verse 3
(So) Come come all the lost and the found
Let us rise up with a holy sound
All the earth unified as one
Just to praise Him

Verse 4
In full view with nothing to hide
Like a city on a hill we're gonna shine
In the light of Your freedom
Let us praise Him

Rad song hey..lemme no what you think of it...drop a line my way by commenting on this post

Hav a good week

It was rad...

So Hey There...

So I promised i would let you know how worship at presby youth went...

So I got to Westville Baptist loaded our car (a huge bus...called a vito) with equiment...the whole car was full of speakers, guitars, keyboard, sound mixers, cables, stand...and we head to the venue...

It was pretty small, we set up under an awning type thing...we set up a whole sound system, mixed and equilised in like 20 minutes...it was the fasted ive ever done it in...we had bongo's keys, electric and accoustic...we shined the OHP on a the top of a broken trailer we turned vertically...it was pretty funny... we never had much space...and equipment was just lying everywhere...we were also stressing that neighbours wouldcomplain..cause like it was in a residentail are...and it was supa loud...but it never..we also prayed against rad..and God nonored our request...

Anyway...we had 5 songs and were meant to play for 20 to 30 minutes...but they were supa amped...so we ened up playing for like 1 hour 15 minues...so we ran out of songs in the 1st 20minutes..so we just player impromtu sytle...they loved it...especially the one song called "The Freedom we Know",

We then packed up reallty fast...in like 30minutes...packed the car...it was so overboard fill...and missioned everything back to church...

So ya it was really rad...just 30 o's praising God...and going crazy...they came with great expectations...and I think they learnt alot...

So now we plan for reflex worship...im ampted...

Spot you l8r.....
