"WORSHIP HEIGHTENS YEARNING --- W.H.Y.?"

"Worship Heightens Yearning -- W.H.Y.?"

!! written by Kathy Todd (except for ++scriptures and ** songs)

!! Worship: to show profound devotion, respect, reverence, adoration, admiring love, honor to God; TO GLORIFY GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART

!! Heightens: to increase the height of; to make higher; to increase the degree of; to strengthen, deepen or intensify; to brighten or become intense

!! Yearning: deep longing; to have an earnest or strong desire; an intense or overpowering longing, desire or need; craving
================================================
!! The Holy Spirit empowers us to do the work of God's Kingdom and our church. We have the power to seek out the lost and tell them of their sins and how to come to Jesus !!

++ But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgement, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Micah 3:8
================================================
!! The Holy Spirit sends us out into the mission field, the earth. To us it is our local community and all other surrounding areas that our church sits in the center of with the work being done by our congregation together in unity. !!

++ As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them off.
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Se-leu`-ci-a; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
And when they were at Sal`-a-mis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister (as their assistant).
Acts 13:2-5
===============================================
!! The Holy Spirit comforts the church. We should know that if we do this, God will send his comfort to us as well by letting us know that growth is on the way!!

++ Then had the churches rest throughout all Ju-dae`-a and Galilee and Sa-ma`-ri-a, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Acts 9:31
===============================================
!! The Holy Spirit will sanctify the saints of the church as we endeavour to maintain this knowledge in our hearts and minds from God and willfully by obedience put forth the effort !!

++ And I myself  also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
I have therefore whereof I may glory (rejoice)  through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Il-lyr`-i-cum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
But as it is written, TO WHOM HE WAS NOT SPOKEN OF, THEY SHALL SEE: AND THEY THAT HAVE NOT HEARD SHALL UNDERSTAND.
Romans 15:14-21
=============================================

!! When we open our hearts to God through worhip and praise.
!! It heightens our yearing to worship and praise all of our days.

!! Only true worship and praise will give us that desire.
!! To seek God's heart with a yearning the Holy Spirit will take us higher.

!! We will become empowered with this strong desire and intense crave.
!! To share this amazing feeling with the lost before they go to their grave.

!! The heightened yearning for the Holy Spirit will open our hearts to the lost.
!! To seek them out while working in the vineyard no matter the cost.

!! Our vineyard is the mission field, our communities where we plant seed.
!! A heightened yearning we receive through worship and praise is so much in need.

!! So the Holy Spirit will intensify our desire to go cultivate the mission field.
!! To bring growth to God's Kingdom, the very thing from the start he had willed.

!! Please hear the importance! Worship and praise heightens our yearning.
!! To open our hearts to God and obey the Holy Spirit to keep the fire burning!!
