Speak It, Sing It, Chant It, Declare It

The throne room was magnificent. The cavernous room seemed unending. The was no end to the ceiling, but at the same time, it seemed to glow. The golden floor sparkled. There were four, terrifyingly beautiful, living creatures who faithfully declared, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" 

A noise started to rumble the very floor underneath my feet. I looked a and great host of angels joined the living creatures, the elders, and I. The angels numbered ten thousands times ten thousands, thousands upon thousands. The sea of Heavenly host let forth a great cry! "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" Another great multitude joined into the praise. Every creature in heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that is in them, they declared, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" The living creatures cried, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped!

Based on Revelation 4:8, 5:11-14.

I have always loved this passage. There is an energy in these words that come alive, and when you read or speak them, you come alive. I was trying to convey that Holy energy to you today. 

Can you imagine? How lucky John was to be there! Surrounded by angels, esteemed elders, and Heavenly creatures, and in the presence of the Lamb Who was slain. How could you not be overcome with praise and worship?

Have you ever felt like praise, worship, and being in His presence was a boring necessity? That's because we are sidetracked with everything around us. It's because we don't stop and remember. Imagine yourself there, in the throne room. Imagine the magnitude around you. Let it come alive. Can you hear their praise? Join in with them. Worthy is the Lamb! He was slain! He rose again! He saved us all! He is worthy to receive all and everything that we can give Him! Speak this, sing it, chant it, declare it. Let His praise fill you up. His presence will never be boring, it will never feel like something you have to do. It will be something you get to do. 

Our Jesus, our Savior, He is worthy. Let the energy, let the passion, let the praise fill you completely! Then shout it from the rooftops!
