Make Your Worship Loud
Rev. 5:12 (KJV) - Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Can your Worship to God be heard, or seen? You may have heard someone say “ he really worships his car“. This is simply how we see one who shows their love and affection for their automobile. You may take extra care with where you park it, be careful about who drives it, what streets you drive on, how it looks, or even how your eyes light up when you talk about it. Our worship is to be to God and God alone. We can make it loud simply by giving God our time, our service, our offerings, our verbal praise, and by showing our love for Him. Just like with a car, we have to be careful what type of gas/ fuel we use(the word), where we park our spirits, our eyes should light up when we talk about Him, be careful about what we let in our eye gates, and ear gates to keep your temple clean, We must keep Him looking Good at all times, Be a witness everywhere you go, give God the Glory for what he is doing in your life, Serve one another, Love one another, and always be found doing the work that He has sent you to do. Make your Worship Loud. this month's training is Designed to cause you to take your Worship Public.
WORSHIP; homage rendered to God which it is sinful (idolatry) to render to any created being (Exodus 34:14; Isaiah 2:8). Such worship was refused by Peter (Acts 10:25-26) and by an angel (Rev. 22:8-9).
Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Assemble together and never to forsake our assembling, not even to neglect it for a brief time. This is the meaning of this exhortation. Believers are to assemble together...
We should all bow in utter humility and dependency upon God, for He is higher above us than even the outer reaches of space. His glory is set above the heavens. We are nothing before Him; consequently, we should live in the reverence and fear and worship of Him, praising Him day and night while we have breath.

We should pay close attention to the book of Revelation, study and live in its message. It is the revelation of God’s will for the end time, the events that are yet to take place throughout the universe.
Rev. 5:12 (KJV) - Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Rev. 5:13 (KJV) - And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
They praise Christ for His power. He is omnipotent: He possesses all power. He is able to open God’s book of destiny and to carry out and execute God’s will throughout the universe. He is able to carry out the events of history and the events of the end time. He is the sovereign Ruler of the universe.
They praise Christ for His riches. He possesses the wealth to meet any need throughout the universe, any need that we or any other creature may have.
They praise Christ for His wisdom. He is omniscient, seeing and knowing all. He knows all about God and heaven, and all about us and our world with all its temptations and trials. He can, therefore, carry out the will of God laid out in the book of destiny, and He can help and succor us through all the trials and temptations of life.
They praise Him for His strength. No one nor any thing can stand against Him, not even for a moment unless He allows it. He has infinite strength, the very strength of God Himself. All He has to do is speak the Word and His will is done. Therefore, He can carry out the events in the book of destiny, and he can meet our every need.
They praise Him for His honor. He is the Son of God possessing the very nature of God, the eternal and sovereign Majesty, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He is the One appointed to open the book of destiny and to execute its events throughout the universe. Therefore, He is the One who is to be honored by all.
They praise Him for His glory. As stated, He is the supreme Glory and Majesty of the universe, so glorious that His glory shines brighter than the sun to give light in the spiritual world or dimension. His own glory is the light of heaven. In Him is no flaw or defect whatsoever. Therefore, He and He alone is worthy to open the book of destiny and to carry out the will of God throughout the universe. He and He alone is due all the glory of the universe.
They praise Him for His blessing. He deserves all the blessing that heaven and earth can give, for He has blessed all. He has given life and all the good things of life to all creatures. All blessings have come from Him. Therefore, all the blessings that heaven and earth can give are due Him.
there is the majestic worship by the whole universe. After each group of created beings has sung their chorus of praise, then all of creation—every being and creature who has ever lived in both heaven and earth—shall break forth in one chorus of praise to both God and Christ. What shall they praise God and Christ for?
Then the four living creatures shall shout “Amen.” And the elders shall fall down and worship the Lord Jesus Christ who lives forever and ever.Never has there been a chorus of worship as will be seen in the glorious day of redemption when all creation shall praise Him who is our Lord and Savior, even the Son of God Himself.
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36).
“Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter” (John 13:7).
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now” (John 16:12).
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1 Cor. 13:12).
The reason no person is worthy to open this book is because of its contents. The book is the destiny of the world—what is to happen in the end time at the end of the world. Rev. 6-21 show this clearly. It is the book of redemption (cp. Luke 21:28; Romans 8:22-23; Ephes. 1:13-14). God’s people are to be redeemed and the evil and corrupt people are to be overthrown and judged. Human history and all matter throughout the universe—all that is corrupt, deteriorating, decaying, and dying—is to be overthrown and consumed. And a new earth and a new heaven are to be created. All the redeemed are to inherit and inhabit the new earth and heavens. This is both the fate and the redemption of the world. This is history written before it happens. Therefore, the person who opens this book must be a person who can grasp exactly what the book is saying, and then he must be able to carry out God’s will and execute the events. The person must have the very mind and power of God. Who can execute and rule over the events of the end time? There is only one such Person: the Son of God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ and Christ alone is worthy to open the book. This is the book of redemption, the book of historical optimism. The same book is referred to in Daniel 12:8-9 and Ezekiel 2:9-10. The message of this book is now prophesied as the seals are broken and the events of the last days are seen. Note the size and thickness of this particular scroll. It takes seven seals to bind it. All that is in the rest of Revelation is contained therein.
“And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; and he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mounring, and woe” (Ezekiel 2:9-10).
“And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end” (Daniel 12:8-9).
The book is in God’s hand. He is in charge of human history, and He has a definite plan and purpose for the universe. The fear of the bomb, an unstable economy, the environment, the drugs, the criminal society, and the other massive problems of the world seem to have no answer. But God does: He is going to bring history to a climax and establish righteousness throughout all the earth. The believer is to be the most optimistic person on earth.
“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2-3).
“Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:12-13).
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2).
Rev. 5:8-14 (KJV) - And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. [9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. [11] And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; [12] Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. [13] And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. [14] And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. What shall they praise God and Christ for?
