BREATHING LIFE INTO YOUR WORLD Pastor Dennis Clanton Woodland Church Sunday, November 22, 2020 “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.” Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.” And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang: “Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.” (Revelation 5:9–13, NLT) THE MORE I LEARN OF GOD THE MORE I WILL WORSHIP HIM! “Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come. … You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” (Revelation 4:11, NLT) HOW TO CONTINUALLY GROW “Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, NLT) THREE BENEFICIAL WAYS TO CONTINUALLY WORSHIP GOD 1. KEEP THE FLAME BURNING IN MY HEART! “Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out.” (Leviticus 6:13, NLT)

“Hallelujah! You who serve GOD, praise GOD! Just to speak his name is praise! Just to remember GOD is a blessing— now and tomorrow and always. From east to west, from dawn to dusk, keep lifting all your praises to GOD!” (Psalm 113:1–3, The Message) 2. WORSHIP MINDFULLY. “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans 12:1–2, NLT) 3. SING TO THE LORD. “But each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.” (Psalm 42:8, NLT) “Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.” (Psalm 149:5, NLT) WORSHIP WILL CHANGE YOU MORE AND MORE INTO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST JESUS.
