Dear Tabernacle Family,
This year, a new song is rising in the heart of his people. I feel like God is giving you an opportunity to get a new song!! With everything we’re hearing every day in our current world, it’s so important to find a song in every season.
I believe in this season, the thief is trying to rob us of our song. The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
Jesus said in John 10:10, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
The devil only comes to do one thing. When he comes, he steals, kills, and destroys your WORSHIP. But I hear the Lord saying, "But I have come that you might SING and LIVE…”
The world needs our song and the Father is looking for our song.
John 4:23 (NKJV) - "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
The time is now to sing, and there’s a time coming that will require us to sing even more."
When we feel weighed down and feel we have nothing left to do, we need to sing. Here’s something I learned about worship and singing many years ago. Singing empties your soul; but not singing, leaves you empty. God always fills the praises of His people. If we empty ourselves in worship, He will fill us.
One of my favorite verses is Psalm 138:1-2.
"I will praise You with my whole heart;
Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
I will worship toward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your loving kindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word above all Your name."
Let’s praise God with our whole heart. Let’s worship in the midst of the storm; in the presence of our enemies. In the midst of crisis, LET’S SING.
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Passarella
