What I look like asking for something that's FREE?? I'm going to ask to use air and to breath when it's given to me daily?? Man cannot control this, it comes from the Almighty GOD.. I gotta ask can I open my mouth to sing when God gave me this voice? NOT, you got the wrong one baby..
Yesterday, a gospel singing group from Sweden performed at my church. It was their 1st time singing in the United States( and what a treat it was).. Before they began to sing, they were given a few minutes to speak! The name of their church in English means "Crossroads".. and how ironic, the road to our 21 day fast ended( well not fully for me, I'm still going forth).. The director of the choir then said, we are blessed because they way we were worshiping God, crying out, shouting, speaking in tongues( so forth)isn't done freely where they're from. They have to be granted "PERMISSION"..
I sat there stunned. This really happens? You need permission to praise God? Get outta here. I mean, I'd heard of it before, people not being able to worship freely but to physically hear it did something to me yesterday..
I LOVE being able to sit, stand, run, cry and worship God freely in my own way. That's how I communicate with him and to know that my sister&brother somewhere else Praise him freely challenged me to do MORE..
There will come a day when Rocks are going to cry out for us.. Tuh, I refuse to watch a ROCK thank God for ME~
As my FAST ended collectively, individually I challenged myself to keep going forth. There's something MORE I NEED from God!! and if the miracles and blessing keep flowing in the way they have, my goodness you're going to HAVE to pin y down to my seat.
I used to constantly invite my daughter's grandmother to visit church with us. I must admit she did visit a few times. WELL, yesterday was her 50+ birthday. We called to wish her a Happy Bday and she PROUDLY told me, SHE joined her local church on yesterday and she will be getting BAPTIZED soon. I cannot began to express the joy that warmed my soul. and she said to me( and I quote)," There has to be more out here and I know God has something for me". I guess there will be NO Rocks crying out for her, she's been granted ACCESS~
I challenge each of you, to be consistent in your Praise.. Step it on up just a little bit higher.. My new song of the year is,
"I AM going higher, Ain't gone let nothing stop me Now,
The devil is a liar, gonna get what God has for me Anyhow..." Pastor William Murphy's new project Song Of the LORD"( to be released in JUNE 2012)
Go higher in your own way and use YOUR voice to get their.. You never appreciate what you have til it's gone.. Don't let your worship slip away~
