• 1:02
  would like to say welcome to you and ask you to please go over to
• 1:04

  this new day and for the opportunity to work Lord or volunteer be of assistance
• 1:27
  to someone today. I pray God that you will give us unforgettable worship experiences
• 1:34
  with you. In Jesus's name, I pray Amen and Amen again an unforgettable
• 1:42
  worship service. Let me change the term to experience an unforgettable worship experience.
• 1:49
  When was the last time that you had an unforgettable worship experience with God?
• 1:56
  I want you to fix that time in your mind. When was it that
• 2:00
  you had an unforgettable worship experience with God? Okay? I want you to
• 2:07
  write down the time or the date, if you knew the date, if
• 2:10
  it was while you were alone, while you were in the congregation of other
• 2:16
  believers, if you were in a vehicle or on your way somewhere, what
• 2:21
  was what was it that made it unforgettable? And then I want you to
• 2:27
  write down not only when was it or where you were what made it unforgettable?
• 2:31
  But what was the outcome? Why was it unforgettable? Yes? But
• 2:37
  what was the outcome, because a lot of times people have unforgettable experiences and
• 2:44
  can't really think about what what the outcome was, like, what was it
• 2:46
  that God did in your life? What changed? What action came as a
• 2:52
  result, what was the influence that you had on other people as a result,
• 2:57
  or you know, fill in the blank. So this is what I
• 3:00
  want you to do. Okay, write these things down and then pray and
• 3:05
  ask God, can you give me more of these Can you change my life
• 3:09
  in such a way that I have unforgettable worship experiences with you on a regular
• 3:16
  basis. All right, so let's go into the lesson, and we're going
• 3:22
  to the Bible Book of Mark, of course, the Book of Mark,
• 3:24
  and we're going to read Mark chapter one, beginning at verse twenty one,
• 3:29
  about an experience that someone had. Okay, and the Bible reads and they
• 3:32
  went into Capernium and straightway on the Sabbath day, he entered into the synagogue
• 3:40
  and taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them
• 3:46
  as one having authority, not as the scribes. So they were accustomed to
• 3:50
  hearing people bump their gums and talk about things related to God, but not
• 3:54
  with authority, not with transformational power. They continued. They continued, and
• 4:01
  there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried
• 4:08
  out, let me ask you a question. Have you ever been in a
• 4:11
  worship setting where someone was bound by unclean spirits? I can say that has
• 4:16
  happened to me. H, not to me. But what I'm saying,
• 4:20
  I've been in the experience like this when we were at trench Town Church,
• 4:25
  as I was a member there and an elder on multiple occasions. This is
• 4:30
  what we experienced. And God did miraculous things brothers and sisters, because He
• 4:36
  is powerful, Blessed be his name. Okay, and so an unclean spirit,
• 4:41
  and he cried out saying, let us alone, what have we to
• 4:46
  do with thee thou Jesus of Nazareth, And art thou come to destroy us?
• 4:51
  I know THEE who thou art, the Holy One of God. So
• 4:55
  Jesus was entering into the early part of his ministry, and this is what
• 5:00
  he encounters in the worship setting as he is teaching the truth to people so
• 5:03
  they can be set free from all kinds of evil and bondage and oppressive thoughts
• 5:10
  and mindset. And this is how the devil chose to disturb the worship service,
• 5:15
  the Bible continues, and Jesus rebuked him. What did he do?
• 5:19
  The Bible says that Jesus rebuked him. They didn't play an organ, They
• 5:26
  did not have some fancy service as a result of whatever they were experiencing.
• 5:30
  They didn't say, bring the cameras here and get all all proud and bosy.
• 5:34
  They did not do any of that. Jesus rebuked him and said,
• 5:40
  hold thy peace. You are not free to speak here with the same authority
• 5:46
  that spoke worlds into existence, the same authority that said let there be light,
• 5:53
  and there was light with that same authority. Jesus, Yes, I
• 5:57
  did, say Jesus. I am aware that Gesus was on planet Earth.
• 6:00
  I am aware that Jesus was clothed in humanity. So for those of you
• 6:05
  who have been a part of certain spiritual fellowships, and people say that Jesus
• 6:12
  left his power in heaven, now I need you to explain to them very
• 6:15
  clearly that there is no way that Jesus, the Son of God, or
• 6:21
  God the Son had less power as he lived on planet Earth. And true
• 6:29
  there were experiences where he had to be as a human when he needed to
• 6:33
  eat and drink and rest and be encouraged, and all of that, he
• 6:38
  functioned fully as a human being. He did not use any power that you
• 6:43
  cannot use to rely on God, our Father as he struggled through this human
• 6:48
  predigament. But when he spoke to those devils, he wasn't speaking as a
• 6:54
  mere human. He spoke as the one who created those angels, who were
• 6:59
  holy when he created them. And he did what. He rebuked them,
• 7:02
  saying, hold thy peace and come out of him. And guess what.
• 7:08
  And when the unclean spirit had torn him and cried with a loud voice,
• 7:12
  he did the only thing that he could do, because Jesus was speaking.
• 7:16
  He came out of him. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they
• 7:23
  questioned among themselves, saying, what thing is this? What new doctrine is
• 7:29
  this? For with authority commandeth he even unclean spirits, and they do obey
• 7:36
  him. And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region. About Galilee,
• 7:44
  I asked you a question in the beginning, have you ever had had
• 7:48
  an unforgettable experience in worship? Can you remember the day that God set you
• 7:56
  free? It may not have been as a dramatic is this or maybe it
• 8:01
  was because Mary Magdalene she had experiences like these multiple times. People that I
• 8:07
  know have had experiences. People I've read about have had experiences like these.
• 8:13
  And so God has the same authority today that he did. Then he has
• 8:18
  not run out of power. What made your experience in worship unforgettable? Now
• 8:24
  I did ask you another question. I said, what was the outcome?
• 8:28
  You See, this man was delivered, but he was delivered to do God's
• 8:33
  will. He was delivered to move into his life and to become a witness
• 8:39
  to people of what great things God can do in the life of a person
• 8:46
  that he comes and delivers. Yes, And so when God does something amazing
• 8:50
  in your life, God has given you the opportunity, has given me the
• 8:54
  opportunity to praise him. There are many times that I have prayed for for
• 9:00
  certain things and people, and I've said, God, when you do this,
• 9:03
  will you give us a mouth with which to praise you? Will you
• 9:07
  give us a mouth with which to praise you? And so not only did
• 9:11
  Jesus speak words from scripture with authority, but he also was able to move
• 9:18
  into supernatural with authority. So what does that mean for me? That means
• 9:24
  that I don't have to worry about my mindset anymore, because with authority Jesus
• 9:30
  can change my mindset if I yield to him. I don't have to worry
• 9:33
  about the bad words or the other things that I've done in the past because
• 9:37
  with authority, Jesus can change me if I yield to him. So if
• 9:41
  you want an unforgettable experience with God, then just continue. Thanks for joining
• 9:45
  us listening to friends. Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but
• 9:50
  by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
