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
