Worship

My friend Neilly G came round to my house last night and brought his guitar. He ministered to me in music and song and the presence of the Lord was almost tangible in the room. I felt at one stage like warm oil was being poured over me.
Worship is a mighty powerful thing. I have found over the last 8 weeks that while it can touch your soul and bring many tears it also brings a healing virtue of the Power of God. The Psalmist said “God inhabits the praises of His people”, a modern translation says God builds a throne and come and sits with His People.
If you want God to hang around start worshipping Him. The enemy can’t stand in the anointed worship of Gods children.
Yesterday was a better day praise God for His mercy. I now commence week 9 without Jill, still seems unreal and very tender.
Love yas

Pastor Phil can I just say thank you, my mum died when I was 11, my Dad was a pastor to. It was a struggle and still is but I find your honesty and vulnerability so helpful. You are in my thoughts and prayers

Hi Phil

The enemy can’t stand in the anointed worship of Gods children...I love that! It encourages me to praise God all day which I love to do.
Still praying for you everyday, hoping that your pain will ease.

P.S.
After putting the girls to bed the other night I overheard Caitlin praying for you and praising God after I had left her room.

hey phil

there is nothing like worshipping God i have to admit its my favourite part of my christian life , i just love gettin lost (for want of a better word cos you dont get lost you find God in it)in worship in church and at home theres nothing beats putting a good worship cd on and spending time singing to your Father , the presence of God is amazing and you just never want it to end but the good thing is Gods always there 24/7 and we can come whenever we want and get refreshed in his presence , still praying for you mate and all the family God bless
