Краткое содержание
Этот англоязычный вечер хвалы и свидетельств собрал церковь вместе, чтобы прославить Бога и рассказать о том, что Он совершал в их жизни. Служение началось с напоминания: как когда-то вся страна замерла, глядя на одно событие 11 сентября, так однажды весь мир увидит возвращающегося во славе Иисуса - и верующие уже стоят на стороне победителей.
Во время свидетельств несколько человек откровенно говорили о разнице между формальным посещением церкви и настоящей, живой жизнью с Богом. Один брат рассказал, как внезапная болезнь и больница во время пандемии остановили его суету и оживили ту глубокую встречу со Святым Духом, которую он пережил много лет назад. Другие делились тем, что разговор с Богом похож на любые близкие отношения, что Бог дал работу вопреки обстоятельствам и позаботился о нуждах в дороге.
Вечер завершился не долгой проповедью, а хвалой и молитвой друг за друга. Звучала простая мысль: поклонение - это благодарность, которую можно приносить во всем, ведь Бог радуется даже каждому нашему вдоху.
Главные мысли
- Однажды весь мир увидит Христа во славе, а верующие уже на стороне Победителя.
- Формального, привычного христианства мало; Бог желает настоящих, живых отношений.
- Иногда Бог допускает испытания, чтобы замедлить нас и снова привлечь наше внимание.
- Отношения с Богом, как и любые близкие, нуждаются в искреннем общении и ежедневном труде.
- Мы становимся похожими на того, с кем проводим время, поэтому проводи его с Иисусом.
- Свидетельство прославляет Бога и ободряет тех, кто проходит похожие трудности.
- Поклонение может быть простым - благодарное сердце; Бог радуется даже малому проявлению любви.
Размышление
Легко сохранять внешние привычки веры - приходить, преклонять колени, повторять знакомые молитвы - в то время как сердце медленно отдаляется. Богу нужно не имя в списке, а близость Отца со Своим ребенком. Возможно, именно сегодня через тихие, а порой и трудные минуты Он возвращает твой взгляд к Себе. Отдашь ли ты Ему все свое внимание и выберешь ли Его присутствие вместо бесконечной суеты мелочей?
Нам может казаться, что мы проигрываем битву, но во Христе победа уже наша.
Ты приходишь к Богу не только ради себя - ты приходишь, потому что Он жаждет быть с тобой.
Проводи время с Иисусом, как с самым близким другом, и начнешь ходить и говорить, как Он.

pray amen you may take your seats thank you worship team for for serving and worship as always and i'm gonna give it over to david he'll lead us in testimony time praise god brothers and sisters yes god is so good in this place i mean i could just feel the holy spirit moving in this place and i don't know if you guys could feel it but god is good yeah you know i just want to talk a little bit about what what is this testimony time because you know i see many familiar faces a lot of us might have been here before but you know our god is a living god and i don't know if you guys feel this but i just feel it every single day of my life that you know god is moving in one way or another we might not know how we might think it's we're supposed to go one way but he takes us another way but god is always doing something in our lives and since we recently haven't had this service i feel like you know a lot of us have had stuff happen a lot of us have had stuff going on in our lives and you know god has been a part of it all for all of us is that true can i get an amen you know i just feel like he's been especially moving right now in this season and this testimony time i kind of wanted to explain that you know it's not just for those people who have been struggling and they got taken out of something or for somebody who got a big blessing from god you know it doesn't have to just be the big things it could be the little things too you know there are little things that god does in our lives you know every single one of us has made it to this place every single one of us has woken up this morning god has taken us to this stage in our life and that is a testimony for all to hear you know our lives as christians are just always living testimonies for any person to hear but i would just like to encourage and invite anybody right now that has a special testimony that the holy spirit might be touching you might be pulling on your heart saying hey remember this this was not a coincidence i did this for you or there's something that you know god might have been like you know it was tough for you by yourself but i was there by your side and i just want you to share that with someone because none of us are going through the same thing you know there's many things that as christians you know i heard this one saying you don't want to make a problem you just want to learn from someone else's problems you don't want to be going through something and be struggling like someone else is if you got taken out of something difficult somebody else might be going through the same thing and this testimony time it might be for ourselves it might be to give glory to god but it's also to encourage one another it's also to uplift one another and i would just like to ask because if anybody has anything at all on their heart right now you know this is a free mic it's anything you want to say i would like to invite anybody who has any testimony if they could come up right now anybody did repeat there you can come up first thank you david um excuse my english but i believe god will help all you to understand what's on my heart you were right david when you said you know many times we have some things to share what god did in our life but we just don't come up usually mia i'm i'm scared of the microphone but and many times i did have things and nobody wouldn't come and share or give a testimony but sometimes big things coming you know and then we cannot sit and wait we have to come up and share and give glory to god you know we were singing in worship only you can bring us to our knees i mean god and it's true many times we can nail our knees you know pray or say talk something say something or it could be some circumstances in our life what could be some god answer our prayers and we just thanking our god and our knees but many times i'm just talking from my experience i believe in your life could be something very similar we do that because we're christians we come to church we kneel our knees we pray we talk to god but i never forget the moment when god really touched i was unbeliever i grew up in a christian family but i was going to church all my childhood i mean all the time when i was living in the house with my parents then i left for to study college and i was in this world and god brought me to one place to the service and he spoke to me and i never gonna forget that moment when he's really touched me and he changed me completely 100 i was i came to this service one person i left with the completely different everything change whatever i want to do the life i want to leave whatever i like yesterday i don't like the next day you know and many times after that you know in the revelations we read when the letters for the churches you lost the first love come back you know many times we're living our life we're still going to church but in this world uh we're so busy and go it start going like routine you know we're doing that sometimes it's better sometimes it's worth some we come we repent many things i have problems with character with many many things i want i know i have to be better to my wife to my family to god and i prepared i go home you know two days i feel like and then again and again i was so tired of this i was praying saying lord it must be something different i don't want you know my heart but but you know really it didn't didn't change much it's even was going down and down more far from god even i was still going to church but you know you can see that you know something that you could not do a year ago you found yourself doing this you know or saying this but i'm going to be short i'm going to take all this time what i'm trying to say like many of us in this time of the pandemia corona many many people got sick and going through this and i'm going to be honest i was kind of not scared but it was worrying because what i heard it's some people they just go very easy some people who are sick have some diabetes blood pressure you know some permanent diseases it could be some side effects or death you know can complicate it and i was like oh if it come to my life it started already something going on in my mind and one day after we came back from guatemala i found myself like because i lost my taste and you know smell okay but i didn't really it was i was coughing but i never had the fever it was not too bad for me and i was like god thank you you know it's like nothing really happened back and i was kind of thanking god and after all this time i remember i went one monday came to work i was so fresh i was so rejoicing even saying to people that i work with oh god is good i feel like newborn you know like power i mean and then 45 minutes after that something came to my back i started to throw up i was dying in just maybe 30-40 minutes after that i was laying on the sofa in the office i closed my eyes and i was like i cannot go to emergency room what happened lord and i was crying inside me really something happened i i was ready to die that was so big pain and i fell asleep maybe 10 minutes i woke up everything was gone all right next day was almost better and the next day it was worse worse it was the second week already i was throwing up i couldn't eat anything whatever come in come out and i even did not need anything it was just and the second weeks first i was taking the pills it was helping to reduce my pain then i was taking pills it was not helping anything then the moment when you cannot do anything you know then i was crying to lord i remember thursday tuesday morning four o'clock to the morning i just was crying out to god i didn't know what to do i was hopeless and then i called my doctor that morning she said go to the room i went to emergency room they did cat scan they said you have a kidney stone but they said they found out in my blood they have some infection they keep me in the hospital overnight and when they did this cat scan they found something in my lungs lungs they decided to do another cat scan on my lungs they said you have to stay in the hospital we're gonna find out what it is it looks like from corona but it's 100 percent not from corona but it's something on your lungs it's something very strange they said have i ta am i taking some drugs and all these heavy drugs because they cannot imagine what this can come from only when i really have you on drugs and all this i said never never had any drugs they said like we believe you but they like okay you can say whatever you like that's what all the drug people say you know maybe i did not look like they were maybe checking my hair you know everywhere but they say we believe you and many doctors were coming and asking the same thing and they and they were so scared that something very very very you know dangerous they kept him in the hospital and you know when something come you have a lot of time you know you lay in the room nobody around you you have time you want or you don't want that's how i believe god looking to get our attention we are so busy in our life that god can never can have us very close that we are really open you know and available to listen and talk to him but this is the moment when you have no other choice you cannot sleep you just and then as a believer we will start trying to listen what god is saying to you and you know i was trying to really repent it was kind of looking dangerous you know you you know it sounds what doctor saying it's really dangerous or something bad and i start praying lord i'm a young man i just need to see my not grandkids or more grandkids and grand grandkids you know kind of joking but i don't want to die yet i wasn't thinking seriously about that and it was three days on the fourth day they they couldn't do anything they decided to just do the procedure to to take out that stone because they said it's somewhere where it's nearly raw and very narrow you know the way it wouldn't come off come out itself they did that procedure they took it out and it was friday morning everything done and i ready to go home but you know what it was again i was on this day many times i was praying talking to god i was repenting i was promising giving promises to god but you know it was the same same same same again it was not real it was but inside in me i was feeling it's like yesterday and another day before it might nothing going to change you know what i'm saying many times i'm giving and repenting and giving my promises to god and i on youtube and my phone i found a sermon that said won't keep preaching maybe 10 12 years ago in australia on the con hilton conference and his sermon was about the power of the holy spirit of the blood of jesus you wouldn't believe what happened i was listening if something really happened the same as what was 22 years ago when i got really found me when i met the jesus when he changed my life it's he started inciting me something i was so touched i feel felt the presence of holy spirit the god in my room because it that sermon that word touched me so i couldn't i was crying out i didn't know what i cannot even explain that but to make story short i just want to bring to the conclusions saying that moment i was years ago and all this time repenting going back to god asking i need to change and nothing nothing did change really but i believe god answered that prayer and he put me in the hospital now i'm praying and saying lord thank you for this illness thank you for this hospital for everything if you need to to find me and my attention do whatever need to be done just do it i'm very interested in that you know and even after that nurse came i said oh she came i was go crying kneeling to my bed she was like what happened i tried to explain her giving testimony what happened and somehow i was praying for her she had a problem you know it's like everything changed but it's not end i thank god for that but you know what i what i noticed again after hospital i came home you know god bring us to our knees it was so different when i was praying start reading the word of god but i noticed it's more than a week after or two weeks later it's getting less you know like it's not the same again it's like you know and i i i just want you pray maybe some very dif very similar situation in your life we need to be all time trying to keep that close relationship with god it's something real is different it's different than what we can do as a nominal believers or christians i'm really missing that it was in my life moments then i was really feeling god in my life and i i really i believe many of you or maybe all of us we just don't want to have a name declarations or come to church but it's something different when we really really we feel god inside of us you know it's a confidence it's a no fear it's a something really different and i want i'm going i want to pray that i even become more close to god not departing slowly day by day and go back to that life that i was i had before thank you for your attention i just want to give the all glory to god i never come here and talk i'm shy but i couldn't wait any longer i had to be here i knew it and i just all glory to god thank you praise the lord brother peter you know we thank god for this boldness that he gave you is such so nice to hear such a powerful testimony not just on physical healing but spiritual as well and i kind of wanted to add one point to what the brother was saying is that you know i was listening to one pastor talk one time and he was talking about how he started to go going to prayers and you know there are prayers anywhere you could go to your friends go to your family go to your church any church that you could go to any prayers at all in your own closet by yourself with god and he said he was always leading these prayers that he would come to every single morning of the whole week and he said he was coming and one week he just wasn't feeling good and he's like i come to these prayers i'm kind of tired because it's early in the morning and it's like i kind of feel upset you know i'm not really in focus with god i'm not really having this clear mindset of prayer and he's like it's not helping my spiritual growth at all so he's this pastor says you know i decide i'm gonna skip this week you know i'm not going to go to prayers next week maybe i'll come have a better attitude and then he said he had a dream that god was talking to him and in this dream god said you know why did you stop going coming to these prayer meetings where me and you could talk god said you don't come to these prayer meetings just for you you come to these prayer meetings for me you know as a father god just doesn't want you to come for you to gain something for yourself you know he loves you as much as well and he wants to spend this time with you also as parents parents don't just want their kids to learn something from them they also want to be in the presence of their kids because they love them so much and that's how god is as well and i believe that you know sometimes we might not feel good or we might not feel this spiritual connection with god but we should still make this effort to always come because we're not there just for our good we're there in god's presence for him as well and i would like to ask if anybody else had anything to go off of what peter says unless i see in the back you can come up uh give it up for alessa i don't know if i should apologize for wearing pants but i did it so i mean it says come as you are right sorry i wasn't really planning on coming but um uh there was something that you said um literally just now but i totally forgot it um but what peter was saying like going through like times where you're like oh yeah spiritual connection so like even when because i feel like right now i'm it's kind of like a testimony but i'm kind of still going through it in a way um where it's like i know there's going to be a testimony at the end of it and i'll be up here and you know sharing be like hello yeah this is so great but i know that like our relationship with the lord is just like any relationship it can go up and down but you have to like keep working on it in order for it to like continue to work like the other day my husband and i had a miscommunication and we got upset at each other because we didn't communicate well to each other and then the pastor mentioned today he was talking about communication and i was like oh this is perfect ellen and i talked about oh yeah communicating with our husbands like we need to just like talk to them like no no like and it was it's because my husband is so close to me that's the only example i know but just like i am with him i know that i need to be with with god and just recently what has really taught me to like dig into the word is my daughter because she started crawling towards my phone because i was on my phone so much i believe and i was like oh no like this is bad like i need a teacher to crawl towards like books in the bible and something good instead of crawling towards my phone because it's so interesting of course because i'm always staring at it and that's i mean you know i repent but i record myself and how much time i sit on it too but still it's not nearly as much as i should be like reading the word of god and i think if i read the word of god like two hours every day like my phone is saying that i'm sitting on my phone if i sit two hours reading the word of god how much less anxiety less worry less like in my head i would be and how much more like fruitful my life would be if i if i were to sit in god's word and really get to know him better versus sitting on my phone and looking into empty snapchat instagram whatever because it's emptiness it really is it's not really gonna it doesn't really fulfill me it might i mean it's good for other things don't get me wrong you know ministry could happen out of it but at this point of my life like uh peter was saying that like if you really want to get deeply like in a relationship with god like we should want to as christians we shouldn't want to just like come to church and like check off a box and i feel like that's kind of what i've been doing is wanting to fulfill a religious duty versus gaining a relationship with god in my head i want to gain a relationship with god really bad i'm like i want to be so close to him i want to be like paul where like people walk by me and like they barely touch my clothes and they're healed like so that when i come into a place my presence is like jesus's presence and that people just like suddenly feel joy but half the time like i feel like i allow my feelings to cloud that and then i'm like sitting there with a sour face like the pastor was saying like you sit there like hi like how are you just because you're having a bad day um but instead like being more like jesus but the way that we do that is we by spending time with him right like the more we spend time with a certain person the more we become like them the more we start to mimic how they talk how they walk whatever but imagine if we spend that much time with jesus as much as we spend with our like best friend like you're gonna start to walk and talk and act like them and it's not gonna be silly to the rest of the world because some people can say like oh my gosh you're overly religious or like you pray way too much about everything like oh just chill out like stop saying in jesus name like stop that like but who cares like who cares what other people think like it really shouldn't matter because at the end of the day and i'm kind of like telling this to myself like at the end of the day it's just going to be me and god like god's going to say good and faithful servant or he's going to say depart from me i never knew you it's it is what it is and it's kind of scary to think that way but it's just the truth and i guess me sharing this is more so saying like i'm still going through it i'm still learning how to like walk in that unity with god and how to gain a closer relationship with him thankfully because of my daughter and because of like really encouraging sermons i've started to read the bible more especially since um they always say like okay now we are reading diani like and i'm like oh you know it's only one chapter i really should be reading it but then i don't it's like why it's so easy even if i read a verse a day i'd probably get to like half the chapter by the time next sunday rolls around might as well like it's it's only for our bettering it's not going to harm me um so read your bibles and i will too and we'll like encourage each other um i feel like we all have so much like i'm not even scared to like talk up front here and i really thought i was going to be like shaking in my boots and i feel so good and comfortable because you guys are family and it feels good to just share and talk and kind of be together so hopefully i'll make it to more youth services i don't really make it often so sorry but thank you all right thank you so much for sharing and i think that's all something all of us could work on you know reading our bibles more and you know just keeping our friends and family you know accountable as well you know it might be a little bit more difficult for some of us than others you know shoot your friends a text if they read their bible or something you got encouraged by you know we don't have to share these testimonies just here every month we can also share them with our close friends you know that's something very uplifting and encouraging um i wanted to ask if does anybody else have a testimony that they would like have on their heart to share um daniel dan can come up let's see what god has put on his heart um so it's just uh like a quick little story something happened uh whenever i was out playing golf with one of my friends um so we were out yesterday we were out we were about uh i forgot which day it was but we were just halfway we were having fun we were doing pretty good i think uh but we're halfway through just just about and we get onto the tee box and i hit a shot it's not a great shot it goes rolling on the floor it doesn't go up and it lands about probably a few feet from the water inside of a lake and me as soon as i saw that like i feel like whenever i'm playing golf and a ball goes like where it's not supposed to if i move my eyes away from it i'll never be able to find that ball ever again happen so much so me as soon as i saw that i looked at it i looked at dan and i can i just went straight running for it and it was probably about like 40 feet maybe but i started running running running and out of nowhere i have my eyes focused right on this bomb not losing it and i just hear like some like water splashing like i'm already down like inside of the lake it was a little bit drained because it hadn't rained in a while but i get down there and i hear water splashing and the balls maybe like five feet six feet ahead of me and i look down and there's probably like this eight eight nine foot gator in front of me and i don't i don't know how i was running full speed but i stopped right on the spot like there was no like decelerating it was just stop and i turned around and i ran so quick back to dan but um i think god protected me in that you know kept me safe made sure i didn't really step on it because one more step and it would have been game over but um i just think every time i like this happened a few months ago every time i think about that like that time uh it always like reminds me of the fact that like when in my walk with god it's like i want to have this like determination to just like stare at him walk with him in a straight path but i feel like i always like him straining away to the left to my phone instead of reading the bible or i'm going this way to hang out with friends instead of like doing something else and i just like i really want that like to be able to just focus and just walk straight and not let anything get in the way of it but uh so i just encourage all of you here and everyone watching online to kind of like keep that and try not to get too distracted and work forward towards that praise god and before i ask if any of you other ever anyone else has any testimonies i'd also like to share a short little quick testimony also about my life kind of what dan was talking about how you know kind of keeping the focus straight at god and not turning off the path you know for me over my life lately you know it's been very stressful as youth when you grow up i know that everyone that's already grown up knows this when you're getting older it's like man all these worries start coming once you start graduating what what's your gonna job be who are you gonna marry where are you gonna go in life what is god's gonna be calling for you be and it starts all this stress starts coming on all at once and for me it's always been like you know i've always known that god has a special plan for my life but i've never known what it was and it's like i'm always asking for god to reveal it to me but like i always get off the path and start trying to do something on my own like for me in high school once i started growing up in school i everyone has always been like you know in america here you have to go to college you have to study get a degree know what job you're going to want because that's very important in america that's how you're going to make a good living and i've always been trying to go on that path too you know trying to trying to stay on this path where i i graduate high school go to college get a degree where i could get a job and then once i have a stable job make money then i can get into my ministry for god or then i can have a family but god has been teaching me a lot different lately you know when corona started back in 2020 that's when i graduated high school and after that i started trying to get into college i got into the community college i started taking classes but i don't know what to take classes for i started taking classes in one subject it's not interesting me i started going to another subject it's not interesting me and i don't know which college classes to take because it's very confusing for me if nothing's interesting i don't want to go into just some random profession that isn't interesting me but one thing i always did know that interested me was god something that i always had in my life that i could rely on that i could trust in every time anything i spend my extra time it's on god and so me and my sister we recently signed up for to go to a bible college there is going to be one semester and praise the lord we were just accepted like two weeks ago to go to smbs me and my sister so we'll be gone for a few months but you know god is just teaching me that you know to put him first in anything we do in our lives you know there's so many stresses of this world they will never go away there's always going to be something new that's coming up but god has just been using me and kind of teaching me as i go into this next stage in my life is that put him first and then everything else will come that's kind of what i'm striving for my goal to be you know put my eyes set my eyes on god and go towards him you know maybe god is going to teach me something in this school that me we're going to but i don't know but all i know is this the path that god chose for me you know i tried to go one way i tried to go the other way but god doesn't let me he makes him always go towards him that's just a small testimony i had in my my lives uh anybody else have any testimonies i would like to ask just to do that you can come up i'm not planning to say some testimony but when i hear what you should preview us yes i will try english if you don't understand me let me know okay first of all i want to bless all of you because you our future you are future our church

amazing if you have a god it's your life completely different praise god amen praise god for all of these testimonies and i would just like to do one last call just in case anybody else has any more testimonies we've heard already so much about what god's been doing we've heard so much what god's been doing in everybody's lives we have one more testimony but i notice you guys aren't the future you're the president of the future we want to say future but it's not future it's right now because if we think future we're thinking oh god's going to call me tomorrow or the day after but no it's today right now today i would like to have a testimony about words just as sister already mentioned that we have to you know just express all of our wants to god and it's written in the scripture that god fulfills the desires of those who fear and i was listening to one preacher and he and the beginning of every service he'd be like god uh very very much can you bless us but i'm thinking god's gonna bless me a lot a lot a lot and i notice that god really blesses how we ask and every morning that i wake up as i drive my truck for work i say god you need to bless me a lot and i was in texas next to mexico all the way down there by the border and i needed to come home and i said god i told you in the morning and right now you need a very very very blessed me so that on sunday i could be back at church because for two weeks already i haven't been at my home church services and i went and got a very good load god bless me that they paid very good and as i was talking on the phone with them they were telling me one thing you have to do it is saturday in the afternoon you have to already be at the destination afternoon before the afternoon on thursday night so we don't know when you're going to be driving and through the whole night or when but that's the only time you could go yes and i agreed i took this load of attack i was crossing my fingers that maybe they would finish loading me up a few hours earlier but it didn't work out like that i got there early in the morning at 11 o'clock in the day i got there i turned on the refrigerator of the trailer and they said they'll call me back they call me back when when i'll get loaded okay yeah this night and i laid down to take a nap in case i'd have to drive out throughout the whole night and i was saying i'm gonna go back to sleep because i'm still a little tired but i got a thought to go check the trailer and i go to check the refrigerator and it has i see it's not working there's a code that says you know high pressure is so and i started thinking it's already five o'clock nobody's gonna be able to fix it for you you're gonna have to wait a whole day and i started trying to turn it off and back on but it would die in like about a minute [Music] and i was started calculating everything right away you know i have to cancel my load i can't get there in time i'm gonna have to call somebody to come fix it up and i'm start calculating it's gonna be something like fifteen hundred dollars or more and i won't be able to make it to church and all of this starts building up and you kind of get an upset feeling and there's like two trucks there and uh a mexican pulls up to me he doesn't know how to talk english but he gives me a card where they fix the trailers the reef refrigerator trailers and i go climb in there open it up and i see there's a belt that's ripped and i went to go find a belt to buy i go on my phone it's 5 30 and at six o'clock the store is closed and to get there i put on navigation that says 28 minutes and i started thinking me with my semi truck i won't make there in 28 minutes that's for a small car yes [Music] she and i started calling asking can i buy it online you guys just leave it out by the front door for me i'll pay online but they say no everything turns off at six o'clock but it's going to be a lot more expensive than it's supposed to be and as i'm calling them on the phone as i'm about to hang up this guy that gave me the card he went to go pull out of the parking lot and he's just standing by the road there's no cars but he's not pulling out for some reason and i just pressed the horn and it's like he already knew he just turned around right away and pulled up right back today i said can you take me to the terminal oh i need to buy a belt and i don't want to go with my truck he said okay and we leave at 5 31 and we pull foreign and i put the belt on right away and in 15 minutes i turned on the refrigerator and they put loaded me up at eight and i got home in timeout may god bless all of you guys uh and as we are concluding testimony time uh i would just like to ask if there's anybody else if not nobody i don't see any hands then i would like to invite tarasi has something to share with all of us as praise god everybody um let's give a hand for david it was his first time leading testimony time so i think he did a great job and thank you all that shared and whatever god put on your heart to share and i'm thankful for everyone that showed up and was here to listen typically after testimony time we we have a concluding award we'll just have like you know a gospel message or something and today i mean just based on a lot of the testimonies we heard from my dad and others that were here very common i guess you could say uh topic of the testimonies was was that relationship with god relationship with the holy spirit and kind of like that connection and being constantly connected and wanting to continually work on relationship with the holy spirit and you know uh today is tonight this service is technically a praise and worship night it's a it's a night where we can you know praise god and worship him and and connect with him and give him our uh praise and thanksgiving for who he is and what he's done for us and i wanted i don't know if you guys agree of course i wanted to just conclude the service instead of a message just have uh worship just time where we can you know whether it's just to worship god and give our praise and thanksgiving to him or maybe you want to you know pray with somebody near you or maybe you know just just spend time in this in this state of worship and just to give glory to god and maybe some of us like based on the testimonies that we heard um earlier maybe some of us want to reconnect with god and just i want to give this time where we can rededicate you know come turn our lives around maybe or just rededicate ourselves to god and in this moment i don't know dan about worship i don't know what you guys would want to do if you you're going to have okay so while they do worship just i want this time to be very free you know if you in prayer you feel like coming up to a brother or sister praying with them maybe share something with them um and in this way we'll kind of conclude the service by ministering to god and to each other based on the holy spirit's leading that's just what's on my heart and if you guys are in agreement then we can stand to our feet and just you know begin this time of worship and just praise as the worship group comes up um i just wanted to share something i didn't necessarily uh think about it for uh testimony but this week we had our bible study on thursdays we have a small group we're just going through the bible and we're all a group that just like has just we think a lot so a lot of times whenever we're in bible study we definitely stray off on multiple topics we'll start on king david and we'll end up like i don't even know where just the thoughts that keep pouring in we we could end up anywhere and this week um while we were having bible study we're going through chronicles and what chronicles is it's a lot of repeat from first second samuel and first second kings so like all the topics we like we kind of went through in depth uh a month or two ago and so kind of i don't know how we were talking about david again and then the topic of worship came up and uh the past sunday actually uh boya preached a little bit on worship and so i was just telling them like on my viewpoint i was like man you know thinking about it worship like because i looked up the definition and worship isn't an expression of adoration towards a deity and so as i started thinking about what expression of adoration is i started just in my mind i started thinking of something huge something big like adoration it's such a big word it's like you have to really show someone that you adore them but then like as i was getting everyone's opinion they were like no dan it's like very like you have to think of it simply as long as you make god happy if you can make god smile then you're worshiping him and like we kind of started talking more and more about that and uh vlad's dad actually says like a very simple thing that i've heard him say many times and he said when you get up in the get up in the morning god smiles when you breathe a breath god smiles and that's just so amazing that god takes so much care of all of us every time we do anything because we are his children here on earth when we do something god is always smiling and it is just so amazing to me that for every little thing i always just picture in my head worship all these amazing songs we sing whenever we're praying to god whenever the spirit moves through us we're doing great works that's expressing our adoration to god but as long as we just wake up every morning we thank god for what he has done for us god's already smiling and we're gonna sing turn your eyes upon jesus [Music] [Applause] jesus is [Music] is [Music] turn your eyes around jesus [Music] [Music] in is [Music] in this place [Music] your presence in this place
