Fellowship of worship, with Jim Chosa:
There is a destiny, a call, and worship in all of us;
The Holy Spirit is covering us,
His Presence of sound worship ~
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard,
Running down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his robes.
It is as if the due of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord bestows His blessing , even life forevermore.”
Psalm 133
Hear the Shofar and other instruments, as well as voices of praise; soak in the sound of His Presence with us ~
We worship you, you are Holy,
We adore you, in You we have freedom,
You are the Spirit of wisdom, we pray for revelation,
We sing with holy voices and strumming guitar, melodies of praise.
We see you high and lifted up ~ Shining in the light of your glory ~
Pour out your power and love ~ As we sing Holy, Holy, Holy. ~ Holy, Holy, Holy.
Open the eyes of our heart, Lord ~ open the eyes of our heart,
We want to see you ~ we want to see you.
Humming, singing ~
We want to know your ways ~ we praise you with all our hearts,
Soak in the Sound of His Presence ~ We thank you with all our hearts
We want to know you ~ with all our hearts.
Alleluia, in unity, multi-tones, interspersed in praise ~
Percussion on guitars, foundation of praise ~
Fun instruments of worship, heartbeat of the Spirit ~
His heart beats for you, people of the Earth ~
All with the same rhythm, love for the Lord.
No fear, perfect love; sense His love for you ~
Feel His rhythm flow through you ~
Trumpeting our praise in ever changing patterns of rhythm and sound ~
Exciting heights of praise in the voices, the beat of compasstion and love.
The nations gather in love, the pleasure of the Lord ~
The oil of blessings flow, a priestly anointing ~
Let my oil pour down for all to see ~
The oil of blessing to carry my people to my throne room in unity, for I love them.
Welcome to the people of Siletz, Oregon, also Jim and Faith.
Blessing of food to those from Siletz.
Jim Chosa was given permission to speak blessings over this land, by an elderly Yakima woman and Chief, of Siletz. The indigenous people retain spiritual authority; the protocol of permission is commanded to follow and manifest the kingdom of heaven over this land. Jim, in conjunction with Darrell, then asked each of us permission to speak through the Holy Spirit. We gave permission and prepared our hearts.
We are functional citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven; we are hungry and thirsty for truth. There needs to be a shift, a significant change from theoretical Christianity to actual Christian walk, reality. There is a mazelike, complex network from Satan, with the purpose of corrupting what God has made and keep the physical body enslaved and fighting the Holy Spirit. We need to learn true spiritual warfare. The ego nature has an instinctive resistance to God.
Those who are hungry and desperate for the Kingdom of God must advance in our lives in Christ, before we can advance the Kingdom of God. This is the single purpose of our lives.
The challenging issue is one that began to grow with Adam and Eve and has not really been dealt with; it is a matter of ownership – who owns me? – is it working? – if it isn’t working in Christ, it’s still theory. We are living too much in the theory of ownership.
The phrase “your God” is in Scripture 182 times; in Romans 8:17, we are heirs of God and joint heirs through Christ. The Lord God says, “They will be my people and I will be their God.” When our hearts first opened to God, we never fully understood reconciliation and were never fully restored. Transformation is about each person being transformed, then each community. If we are truly transformed, we want the glory of God to be manifest. We are the winners in the equation; God says we are His people and we can corporately and individually receive Him - our God.
God is raising up men and women who will confront “religion” that is attached to the philosophies of men.
“In Jesus Name, I break the hold on me that held me captive.”
Remember, with great intent and purpose, your Creator. The power of creation: God can take the problem and transform it to be the answer. Creator God owns me and I own Creator God (we are in relationship together). My problems are not my own, but God’s. The language of false religion has taken us to false ownership. Worship is the key whereby God (and us) declare ownership and we release our problems to Him.
If God owns me and I am not under the curse, the curse of “dis – ease” cannot get me through misunderstood ownership. God comes in the worshipper and changes the condition of the worshipper. We enter into a covenant of ownership; I belong to you and you belong to me – I worship you.
We have an inheritance; it’s you.
You have an inheritance; it’s us.
There is a musical phrase; the Holy Spirit is at work in our hearts. There is healing and anointing in Jim’s hands. In the great power of God, we can lay hands on the sick. We need not pray at that moment, merely lay our hands on and trust in the power of the Almighty God. Jim finished with this profound truth and challenge to us, that we practice merely laying our hands on those who are sick and entrusting their lives to the power of God.
“The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.”
1 John 3:7 New American Standard
