WORSHIP, WARFARE, INTERCESSION

GOD-GIVEN END-TIME TOOL AND WEAPON OF THE CHURCH

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES

• Spiritual warfare in the last of the Last Days is getting more intense. Ephesians 6:10-12

• The foundation of our victory is CHRIST. 2 Cor. 2:14 ; Col. 2:15

• The Warrior Bride, the Church, is deputized to execute God’s will on earth

REVELATION 3:7-8

“And to the angel of the Church in Philadelphia write, ‘these things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My Name.”

MATTHEW 16:18-19

“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of

Hades shall not prevail against it.. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

WHY THE KEY OF DAVID?

David, the worshiper, the man after the heart of God, fully matured and functioned as a priest, prophet, and king.

• Intimate (type of the bride of Christ)

• Prophetic (type of heavenly worship)

• Kingdom established (type of God’s kingdom)

RESTORATION OF THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID

Amos 9: 11, “In that day I will restore David’s fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be.”

God is establishing His Kingdom here on earth by establishing Zion, the place where He dwells and rules at the same time!

Psalm 22:3

“But thou art holy, o Thou that inhabitestthe praises of Israel.” (KJV)

“Yet You are enthroned as the Holy One; You are the Praise of Israel.” (NIV)

WHY WORSHIP, WARFARE AND INTERCESSION?

REVELATION 5:8, "WHEN HE TOOK THE SCROLL, THE FOUR LIVING BEINGS AND THE TWENTY-FOUR ELDERS FALL DOWN BEFORE THE LAMB, EACH OF THEM

HAVING A HARP AND HOLDING GOLDEN BOWLS FULL OF INCENSE WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS."

PRIESTHOOD

1 PETER 2:9, “BUT YOU ARE A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE BELONGING TO GOD, THAT YOU MAY DECLARE THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS WONDERFUL LIGHT.”

HEBREWS 5:1 "FOR EVERY HIGH PRIEST CHOSEN AS HE IS AMONG MEN IS APPOINTED TO REPRESENT PEOPLE IN MATTERS PERTAINING TO GOD, TO OFFER GIFTS AND SACRIFICES FOR SINS."

KINGDOM OF PRIESTS

EXODUS 19:6, “YOU WILL BE FOR ME A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS AND A HOLY NATION.”

REVELATION 1:6, “AND HAS MADE US TO BE A KINGDOM AND PRIESTS TO SERVE HIS GOD AND FATHER – TO HIM BE GLORY AND POWER FOR EVER AND EVER! AMEN!”

GOD IS RAISING A PROPHETIC ARMY OF WORSHIPING

INTERCESSORS AND INTERCEDING WORSHIPERS!

AS A TOOL AND AS A WEAPON, WHAT IS THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF

WORSHIP, WARFARE, AND INTERCESSION?

2 THESSALONIANS 2:8

“AND THE LAWLESS ONE WILL BE REVEALED WHOM THE LORD JESUS WILL OVERTHROW WITH THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY BY THE SPLENDOR OF HIS COMING.”

1. BREATH OF HIS MOUTH

REVELATION 1:16

“IN THE RIGHT HAND HE HELD SEVEN STARS, AND OUT OF HIS MOUTH CAME A SHARP DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD. HIS FACE WAS LIKE THE SUN-SHINING IN ALL ITS BRILLIANCE.”

REVELATION 2:16

“I WILL SOON COME TO YOU AND WILL FIGHT AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH.”

MATTHEW 4:10

JESUS SAID TO HIM, “AWAY FROM ME, SATAN! FOR IT IS WRITTEN: WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.”

THE WORD OF GOD AS OUR WEAPON

WORSHIP IS SINGING THE WORD OF GOD

WARFARE IS DECLARING THE WORD OF GOD

INTERCESSION IS PRAYING THE WORD OF GOD

USE THE GOD-GIVEN WEAPON

PSALM 144:1, “PRAISE BE TO THE LORD MY ROCK, WHO TRAINS MY HANDS FOR WAR, MY FINGERS FOR BATTLE.”

PSALM 78: 9-10, “THE MEN OF EPHRAIM, THOUGH ARMED WITH BOWS, TURNED BACK ON THE DAY OF BATTLE; THEY DID NOT KEEP GOD’S COVENANT AND REFUSED TO LIVE BY HIS LAW.”

EPHESIANS 5:15-19

“BE VERY CAREFUL, THEN HOW YOU LIVE – NOT AS UNWISE BUT AS WISE, MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL. THEREFORE DO NOT BE FOOLISH, BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD’S WILL IS. DO NOT GET DRUNK ON WINE, WHICH LEADS TO DEBAUCHERY. INSTEAD, BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER WITH PSALMS,

HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS.”

COLOSSIANS 3:16-17

“LET THE WORD OF GOD DWELL IN YOU RICHLY AS YOU TEACH AND ADMONISH ONE ANOTHER WITH A LL WISDOM, AND AS YOU SING PSALMS,

HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS WITH GRATITUDE IN YOUR HEARTS TO GOD.”

SPIRITUAL SONGS

ODE PNEUMATIKOS

BREATH OF GOD

EZEKIEL 37:1-10

THE ARMY THAT BREATHES THE BREATH

OF GOD

2. SPLENDOR OF HIS COMING

ISAIAH 40: 3-5“A VOICE OF ONE CALLING IN THE DESERT, PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD; MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE WILDERNESS A HIGHWAY FOR OUR GOD. EVERY VALLEY SHALL BE RAISED UP, EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL MADE LOW THE ROUGH GROUND SHALL BECOME LEVEL, THE RUGGED PLACES A PLAIN. AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD WILL BE REVEALED, AND ALL MANKIND TOGETHER WILL SEE IT. FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN.”

MALACHI 3:1-4

“SEE I WILL SEND MY MESSENGER, WHO WILL PREPARE THE WAY BEFORE ME. THEN SUDDENLY THE LORD YOU ARE SEEKING WILL COME TO HIS TEMPLE; THE MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT, WHOM YOU DESIRE, WILL COME,” SAYS THE LORD ALMIGHTY.

BUT WHO CAN ENDURE THE DAY OF HIS COMING? WHO CAN STAND WHEN HE APPEARS? FOR HE WILL BE LIKE A REFINER’S FIRE OR A LAUNDERER’S SOAP. HE WILL SIT AS A REFINER AND PURIFIER OF SILVER; HE WILL PURIFY THE LEVITES AND REFINE THEM LIKE GOLD AND SILVER. THEN THE LORD WILL HAVE MEN WHO WILL BRING OFFERINGS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THE OFFERINGS OF JUDAH AND JERUSALEM WILL BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE LORD AS IN DAYS GONE BY, AS IN FORMER YEARS.”

PSALM 24:3-10

“WHO MAY ASCEND THE HILL OF THE LORD? WHO MAY STAND IN HIS HOLY PLACE? HE WHO HAS CLEAN HANDS AND A PURE HEART, WHO DOES NOT LIFT UP HIS SOUL TO AN IDOL OR SWEAR BY WHAT IS FALSE. HE WILL RECEIVE BLESSINGS FROM THE LORD AND VINDICATION FROM GOD HIS SAVIOR. SUCH IS THE GENERATION OF THOSE WHO SEEK HIM, WHO SEEK YOUR FACE, O GOD OF JACOB.

“LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, O YOU GATES; BE LIFTED UP, YOU ANCIENT DOORS,THAT THE KING OF GLORY MAY COME IN. WHO IS THIS KING OF GLORY? THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY, THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE. LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, O YOU GATES; LIFT THEM UP, YOU ANCIENT DOORS,THAT THE KING OF GLORY MAY COME IN. WHO IS HE, THIS KING OF GLORY? THE LORD ALMIGHTY – HE IS THE KING OF GLORY.”

THE KING OF GLORY WILL SURELY COME!

IS THERE A PLACE FOR HIM TO REST AND TO RULE ON EARTH?

JEREMIAH 3:16-17

IN THOSE DAYS, WHEN YOUR NUMBERS HAVE INCREASED GREATLY IN THE LAND,” DECLARES THE LORD, “MEN WILL NO LONGER SAY, ‘THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD.’ IT WILL NEVER ENTER THEIR MINDS OR BE REMEMBERED; IT WILL NOT BE MISSED, NOR ANOTHER ONE BE MADE. AT THAT TIME THEY WILL CALL JERUSALEM THE THRONE OF THE LORD, AND ALL NATIONS WILL GATHER IN JERUSALEM TO HONOR THE NAME OF THE LORD. NO LONGER WILL THEY FOLLOW THE STUBBORNNESS OF THEIR EVIL HEARTS.

Worship’s Purpose In The Last Days:

PREPARE THE WAY

OF THE LORD
