PRAISE & WORSHIP SUNDAY MAY 10, 2015
LORD HAVE YOUR WAY IN ME,
DISABLED OR NOT
AND A WARM WELCOME
TO YOU IN THE LORD! IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, WELCOME! For all you
who are online and come to this place of spiritual worship, PRAISE THE LORD!
We are such little ants, with God looking down on us,
ABSORBED IN our “busy-work.” We are SO busy. We are SO busy that we are looking
at our watches through a 1-hour church service, waiting for the hour to end. We
are SO busy that some people bring home WORK to do all weekend, forgetting that
a family does not thrive without interaction. Some are SO busy learning how to
walk again, that we don’t have time for our spouses, our children, our ailing
parents, and we get SO overwhelmed with it, that we just want to crawl back in
bed and take a nap. And many of us do. I’m here to tell you that your “yesterdays”
are not going to be your “tomorrows.”
So the first thing that we need to do is let TIME LEAVE our
minds. Time is eternity, time is forever. All that matters is now. This moment,
this day, this TIME. Let’s give our minds, hearts, and souls to the Lord God
Almighty, forgetting ALL else. Don’t be embarrassed to kneel on your knees, to
hold your hands together in prayer, to lift your hands up to the Lord, or to
bow down before Him. It is just you and God. Give Him the honor, respect, and
Glory that He deserves.
LORD HAVE YOUR WAY IN ME,
DISABLED OR NOT.
Absorb each one like a sponge, trying to comprehend how much God loves us.
And let us also give God the glory in all that we do, whether at work or at
home. Go to link, Skip Ad, and sing/listen to glorify God.
1. “Be Unto Your Name – Holy, Hoy, Lord God Almighty”
by Robin Mark; written by Lynn DeShazo and Gary
Sadler
2. “Revelation Song”
by Phillips, Craig & Dean
Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. This is God’s Rule, as Christ’s father.
Christ said, “If you deny my name before others, so will I deny you before God.
If you proclaim me before others, so will I proclaim you before my Father, who
is in Heaven.”
We love to worship our Lord, Our Heavenly Father, and the
Holy Spirit that gives us Comfort and gifts that enable us to bless one another
and bring one another closer to Jesus. Even if you were in a car accident that
left you relatively lifeless in bed, seeing doctor after doctor as you learned
to walk and talk again, you can still Praise the Lord! In whatever condition we
are in, He is worthy of our praise.
Things happen, tragedies occur, abuse exists, but they are not our
choice. I know this from experience,
from being disabled, from staring at the ceiling, and others have seen this
strength in me. I used to chase the wind, but now my songs chase toward the Heavens:
3. “It wasn’t by Choice”
by TUCKER ZONE
Thank you, Tuckerzone, for writing this Original song for me and
others with disabilities.
This song is available on iTunes, and proceeds go to the Invisible Disabilities Association.
We learn to move on, and it makes us stronger!
____________________________________________________
Let us gain strength, knowing that we are not alone, we were never alone, and we shall never be alone. Despite all, I moved my lips and I sang to the Lord:
4. “Holy, Holy, Holy”
by Hillsong United
This was the first song I sang to God as I was recuperating
from a traumatic brain injury. I was on an iv PICC line for 3 ½ years, and I
went to church and lay down on the pew, just to please God (and people) by
“making it” that far. With this Ministry, you can shine to the only person who
cares, God. So far, I have been bed-ridden for more than 9 years.
____________________________________________________
Above all
Things, Blessed Be The Lord! Above my ability to walk! Above your disabilities!
Above your pain! Above your sadness and broken heart! Give it all to God as we
rise above it all! I just wanted to get back to the way “I” was: searching to
know God, surrendering all to Him, with praise and worship. I wanted to
rededicate myself to Him. Now, there IS no "ME!" I died to myself and became alive to Christ, and in so doing, I have been BORN AGAIN! We must give our
thanks to the Lord! May we surrender
ourselves and all that we have to God, our Mighty King. At the end of Praise, you will be able to accept Christ as your Personal Savior, then you must be
baptized in water, to symbolize your death to yourself and living for Jesus.
5. “I Surrender”
by Hillsong Live

pray for these donations to go far and wide, dear Lord, let our hearts long for you day and night, as our home is with
You and not on earth. We long for you and cherish all who have gone before us. Let
us long for YOU God, for YOUR Truth, YOUR Understanding, and YOUR grace. Let

CONCLUSION: Lord, let us
know the plan for our Salvation in You. Not just for ourselves, but for all
those around us:
THE PLAN OF SALVATION:
If you have
not accepted Christ as your personal Savior, you need to gain eternity with Him
by confessing it with your lips. For the first time, you are accepted as you
are, forgiven for all your sins, and ready to be “born again.” And may he heal
your heart of any sorrows, resentments, sickness, disabilities, or reasons to
deny Him. Do you deserve it? Do I deserve it? No. None of us, in our sin,
deserve what Christ went through for us. That is why we prepare ourselves to be
His Bride, for one day soon He shall return.
1. All have sinned.
Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:8
2. There is a penalty for sin.
Romans 6:23, John 3:18
3. You cannot save yourself.
Titus 3:5, James 2:10
4. Salvation has been provided.
Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, John
14:6
5. The Conditions are Simple.
Repent: Luke 13:3
Confess with your mouth: 1 John
1:9, Romans 10:9
Believe: Acts 16:31
6. Now is the time for a decision
to accept Christ as your Personal Saviour.
Joshua 24:15
2 Corinthians 6:2

DISMISSAL & SONG:
Go in joy and admiration of the
one and only True God who loves you without condition! Forgive one another, as Christ forgave those who hung Him on the cross, for they did not know what they were doing. Spread the joy by
telling others, as this is the Great Commission that Christ instructed us to
do. Keep Christ in all that you do, and may your faith be made stronger in the
presence of our Saviour. Avoid the love
of money, for this is the root of all evil.
Go spread love.
For Christ says
that the greatest of all gifts is: love.
9.“Love Song”

10. “Agnus Dei”
by Jotta A.
