Sing praises unto the Lord

Psalm 95:1-2
O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

The bible is filled with scriptures about praise and worship.  God desires the praises of his people.  When we begin to praise him, his holy spirit lifts us up and we can feel his presence and experience knowing him in a way that others can never understand.  When that joy starts bubbling up inside and your feet want to dance before him, there is nothing that can stop the movement of his spirit.  We often sing a song at our church called, "I'm one of them"  one part of it says this.  

I've got what my grandma had, I got it just like she did.  It was way back yonder in the head of a holler, he called me when I was a kid.  I'm one of them.  One of those Holy Ghost believers.  I know by the gifts inside.  I've seen to much already to change my Pentecostal life.  

The words to this song says it all.  I've seen to much for anyone to ever try and convince me that the Pentecost way is wrong.  I've felt the Holy Ghost stirring in my soul and I know God's presence when I feel it.  I love when God moves upon 80 or 90 year old people that many times have to have a walker to get around, but when his spirit stirs, their feet go to dancing before him as they praise him.  Friend, only God can give that kind of strength to those weary legs.  I am not ashamed of my savior nor am I ashamed of his presence in my life.  I don't ever want to stand before him and hear those words, depart from me, I never knew you.  I choose to sing and praise him while I live upon this earth.  I choose to do my best to walk upright before him and lift up his name with gladness on my lips.  He has never failed me.  When I go to him in prayer, I see answers.  He told me ask and ye shall receive.  He is my father and I am his child.  He is the rock that I run to in all my times of trouble.  Friend, if you have not had an experience with Jesus Christ, I invite you to pray.  God sent his son into this world to die so that you could live.   He loves you.  The most powerful message I can pass along is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Believe it in your heart, confess it with your mouth and you shall be saved.  Begin to praise and worship him and you shall be filled with his holy spirit and you to shall be "One of them"...you will know the joy of serving Jesus.  Blessed be his holy name!!
