| WORSHIP | INTERCESSION | PROPHECY
Here at Lift Jesus Higher, we want to have the “W.I.P. hand”! This means we want to be moving in the three frontline ministries of Worship, Intercession and Prophecy.
These ministries are front-line because they involve a direct and immediate encounter with the living God, and because they take the battle to the enemy.
WORSHIP engages the people of God in face -to-face encounter with their Lord and Savior. As we declare the greatness of God, we lose our self-centered focus and open ourselves to the awesome power and glory of the Lord! We lose our fear and timidity and begin to give testimony to the incredible might and surpassing love of Almighty God.
“To God, the blessed and only Ruler of all,
the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
who alone is immortal,
whose home is in inaccessible light,
whom no man has seen or is able to see,
to him be honor and everlasting power. Amen”
1 Timothy 6: 5-16
INTERCESSION unlocks the power of God to impact situations and bring them into alignment with His saving will. John Wesley declared: “The Lord does nothing on earth except in response to fervent, believing prayer.” Our prayer of intercession does not change God’s mind; it simply enters into agreement with Him about what He intends to do, and releases His power into the situations we are praying about.
PROPHECY is simply the articulation of God’s words in the words of men. The word “prophet” means literally “one who speaks for” another, in this case, God. The prophet is given access by revelation to the mind of God about a particular situation, and then he proclaims it forth before others.
Our desire is simply for the prophets to discern the will of God for our lives, and to speak it forth; then the intercessors pray and declare that will into life; finally our worshippers give praise and glory to God for His incomparable greatness in accomplishing His will in our lives.
