NEW WINE, NEW WORSHIP, IT'S A NEW DAY!
BY: Rev. DEBORAH STARR MADISON MARSHALL
BASED ON A TEACHING FROM PASTOR PAUL OWENS, SENIOR PASTOR OF LIGHTHOUSE ASSEMBLEY OF GOD
"...Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, 9ou double minded. James 4:8
There is a mandate of God where we can have an experience of God in each of our lives.
Like the Heart of David, How shall and should we praise?
God is rebuilding His Tabernacle, and there are 7 levels of Praise. Each builds unto the other, but does not have to be done in sequence that it is given. For our worship and our praises with our Father are as individual as we are and with that individual relationship with HIM, the 7 levels can occur in any order that is between ourselves and God and the level of intimacy and level of praise we are operating in.
7 LEVELS OF PRAISE: HEBREW WORDS FOR OUR PRAISE AND WORSHIP. 2ND SAMUEL 6:14
1. "HALA" PRAISE: TO MAKE A LOUD SOUND. PSALM 150
2. "THEHILLAH PRAISE: COMES FROM THE WORD HALA.
SING A SPONTENOUS SONG FROM GOD, IT IS NEW AND UNREHERSED. PSALM 22:3 GOD'S GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY SITS DOWN AT THIS PRAISE. IT IS A SONG UNTO THE LORD STRAIGHT FROM OUR HEARTS. PSALM 40:3, HE HAS PUT A NEW SONG IN MY MOUTH-PRAISE TO OUR GOD.
THIS IS NOT JUST A SINGING TO THE LORD. IT IS NOT JUST ANY SONG WITH THE LORD. IT IS A PROPHETIC SONG.
3. "ZAMAR" PRAISE: THIS FORM OF PRAISE RELEASES US TO PLAY INSTRAUMENTS. PSALM 21:13 AND 1 CHRONICLES 16:9. SING TO HIM, SING PSALMS TO HIM, TALK OF HIS WONDEROUS WORKS.
4. "YADAH & TOUDAH PRAISE: IT IS AN EXPRESSION OF WORSHIP TO USE OUR HANDS AND EXTENDED HANDS EQUALS TOTAL SURRENDER TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
EXPRESSES EMOTION, EXPRESSES PRAISE AND UTILIZES OUR HANDS AS A FORM OF THAT EXPRESSION.
PSALM 63:4, PSALM 107:8-LIFT UP ONE'S HANDS, IT IS TO BE A "THANK YOU" TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. 1 CHRONICLES 1:3-6, PSALM 50:22
5. A TODUDAH PRAISE, IS THE PRAISE OF FAITH!
6. SHABACH PRAISE: A LOUD PRAISE. A SHOUT UNTO THE LORD.
NOT JUST ABOUT BEING LOUD, IT IS AN ATTITUDE OF PUTTING YOUR ENTIRE SELF IN THE PRAISE. THERE ARE NO PERSONAL INHABITIONS.
PSALM 47:1 AND PSALM 145:4, GENERATION TO GENERATION TO BE PASSED UNTO. ONE GENERATION WIL MOVE AND THEN IT WILL BE PASSED TO THE NET GENERATION.
WHEN ISRAEL WOULD SHOUT. JOSHUAH 6:20, THE WALLS FELL DOWN ON THE 7TH TIME AROUND JERICHO. BLOW THE TRUMPETS, THEN THEY ALL SHOUTED SO HARD AND FROM THEIR HEARTS THAT THE WALLS FELL FLAT TO THE GROUND. POWER OF THE SHOUT!!!
THEY SHOUTED AND THEN SHOUTED AGAIN.
GOD IS RAISING UP A NEW GENERATION OF WORSHIP. PEOPLE WHO PRAISE UNTO THE LORD WITHIN THESE 7 LEVELS BECOMES A WORSHIP REVOLUTION. WE ARE SHOUTING DOWN THE GLORY OF GOD!
7. BARAK PRAISE: KNEELING DOWN. PSALM 95:6 AND PSALM 34:1
A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF US, BEFORE GOD. IT IS A QUIET PRAISE. WE ARE NOT USED TO THIS FORM OF PRAISE, THUS WE TEND TO GET A BIT NERVOUS WHEN IT GETS QUIET. HOWEVER, WHEN WE ARE IN THE PRESSENCE OF GOD, THERE IS A QUIET REVERENCE TO HIM, AND WHEN WE HAVE ACHIEVED THIS LEVEL OF INTIMACY IN OUR PRAISE AND WORSHIP THE FLESH AND OUR EMOTIONS OF BEING NERVOUS GO. WE HAVE TOTAL PEACE IN THE PRESSENCE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
THIS IS THE LEVEL OF PRAISE WHEN GOD STARTS TALKING BACK TO OUR SPIRIT MEN. IT IS A MOVE TO REVERENCE TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. OUR HEARTS BOW BEFORE GOD, THERE IS A HUSHED EXPENCTENCY WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT STARTS TO MINISTER TO US DURING THIS PHASE OF OUR PRAISE AND WORSHIP TO GOD.
THIS IS THE ENTRY PLACE OF HUMILITY, WHERE WE ARE BROKEN BEFORE OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN WE ARE OR CAN BE IN REPENTANCE BEFORE GOD.
DO YOU HAVE THE EARS TO HEAR?
DO YOU HAVE THE HEART TO LISTEN?
BARAK WORSHIP
