WORSHIP YOUR MAJESTY
Lord God Almighty…I WORSHIP YOUR MAJESTY; Your Name is majestic in all the Earth. Blessed be Your glorious Name, O Lord; may Your Name be exalted above all blessing and praise!
Let the heavens and all their starry hosts declare Your Glory! Let the Earth and all that is upon it…all things visible and invisible, all things animate and inanimate, all things…whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities…let these all proclaim Your Name! Let everything that has breath praise You, Blessed Jesus…for if we don’t praise You, the very rocks will cry out in praise to Your Name!
You are worthy of boundless worship, worthy of unceasing praise, worthy of eternal thanks, worthy of all honor and glory forever and ever throughout the eternal unfolding ages! For You are glorious in Your Majesty, majestic in Holiness, awesome in Power, You are our wonder-working God. You do whatsoever You will with the powers of Heaven and Earth. You call the things that are not just as though they are. You merely speak, and it is done; the very words You speak carry within themselves the Power to effect what You have spoken…immediately, completely, continually. The mountains quake before You, and the hills melt away. The very mountains melt like wax in Your Presence! The Earth trembles at Your Presence…the world and all who live in it. Heaven and Earth flee from the Almightiness of Your Presence!
Who is there like unto You, O Lord? Who can be compared with You? Who is Your equal? Who was there when You formed the Heavens and all their starry hosts, and called them out, each one, by name? Who was there when You created the Earth and all that’s on it…all things visible and invisible, all things animate and inanimate, all things, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities? Who was there when You formed the seas and all that is in them, and set their boundaries that they might not transgress it? Whoever, O Lord, were Your instructors, that You should acquire knowledge from them? Whoever were Your counselors, that You should learn wisdom and understanding from them?
No…You are God, and You alone; there is none other besides You! All other so-called gods are merely lifeless images, carved out of wood or formed out of stone or cast in metal. But You are the One True Living God, and You live and reign forever and ever, throughout the unfolding ages of eternity!
Therefore…stand up and praise the LORD our God, Who is from everlasting to everlasting! Blessed be Your Glorious Name, O Lord… may Your Name be exalted above all blessing and praise! You alone are the LORD; You made the heavens…even the highest heavens, and all their starry host…the Earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them, the spirit world and all that is in it. You give life, to everything, and the multitudes of Heaven worship You.
For by You all things were created: things in Heaven and on Earth, visible and invisible, animate and inanimate, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by You, and for You, and for Your Glory!
You are worthy, our Lord and God, to have ascribed unto You ALL Glory and Honor and Power, for You created all things; by Your will they were created and by Your will they have their very being.
OMNIPOTENT GOD OF CREATION
All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but Your Word, Lord God Almighty, stands forever!
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and marked off the heavens by the span, and calculated the dust of the Earth by the measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance and the hills in a pair of scales?
Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as Your counselor has informed You? With whom did You consult and who gave You understanding?
And who taught You in the path of justice and taught You knowledge and informed You of the way of understanding?
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales; behold, You lift up the islands like fine dust. Even Lebanon is not enough to burn, nor its beasts enough for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before You; they are regarded by You as less than nothing and meaningless. To whom then will you liken our God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the very beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the Earth?
It is You, Lord God Almighty, Who sits above the circle of the Earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
It is You Who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the Earth meaningless. Scarcely have they been planted, scarcely have they been sown, scarcely has their stock taken root in the Earth, but You merely blow on them, and they wither, and the storm carries them away like stubble!
“To whom then will you liken Me that I would be his equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see Who has created these stars, the One Who leads forth their host by number; You call them all by name. Because of the greatness of Your might and the strength of Your Power, not one of them is missing!
Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and the justice due me escapes the notice of my God?” Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the Earth! He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even youths grow tired and become weary, and young men stumble and utterly fall; but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint!
SOVEREIGN ALL-RULER OVER ALL CREATION
This is what the Most Holy, Most High, Triune God declares:
- Child of God! Have you never known; have you never understood?
I am the Sovereign All-Ruler over all things, over all Creation…
Sovereign over the heavens and all that’s in it,
Sovereign over the Earth and all that’s on it,
Sovereign over the spirit world and all that’s in it,
Sovereign over everything that touches your life.
At My command the heavens were created, and all their starry host by the breath of My mouth. For I spoke, and it came into existence; I commanded, and it stood fast. I nullify the counsel of the nations; I thwart the thoughts and plans of its peoples! But My Own plans stand firm forever, the purposes of My Sovereign will prevail throughout all generations!
Before Me, all the nations of the Earth and their inhabitants are but a drop in a bucket…no more than dust on the scales. I accomplish My Own will in dealing with the powers of Heaven and the peoples of the Earth. No one can hold back My hand or question Me concerning What I am doing! - I exercise My Sovereignty perfectly over all Creation. I exercise My Sovereignty immediately, completely, and continually over all things; I am not a God Who is careless, complacent, or indifferent. No one can thwart My plans, or hinder My purposes, or override My will. Remember the former things, those of long ago. I am God, and there is none other; I am God, and there is none like Me. From the very beginning I had made known the future, and told you beforehand what is yet to come, saying, “My purposes will stand, and I will do all in accordance with My Own will.”
- My beloved child, I solemnly assure you: Nothing takes place on the face of this Earth, nothing takes place in the heavens above, nothing takes place in the spirit world, and nothing can touch your life, apart from My having either Personally caused it to happen, or My having specifically, consciously, and deliberately allowed it to happen. And all to accomplish My Own good purpose.
I Myself have sworn, “Most assuredly…as I have planned, so shall it come to pass; as I have purposed, so shall it stand! I Myself have purposed, and no one can override Me! My hand is stretched out, and no one can turn it back or hinder Me!”
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from My knowledge and consent! I know the very number of hairs on your head…not one hair of your head will fall to the ground apart from My will! - Precious child…all that I do is necessarily the very best, very kindest, most loving thing that can possibly be. And although oftentimes you may not understand…yet, even so, you can trust in Me with an unwavering child-like trust. For I make all things work together for your good.
Are you still unwilling to wholeheartedly trust Me? Concerning things yet to come, do you question Me about what the future holds for My children? Would you dictate to Me what the work of My hands should be? It is I Who made the Earth and created Mankind upon it! My Own hands stretched out the heavens; I alone marshaled their starry hosts!
LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, I STAND IN AWE OF YOU
- I stand in awe of the Most Holy, Most High Triune God, Almighty Creator, Sovereign All-Ruler.
- I stand in awe of the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the One Who always was, Who is now and ever shall be, and Who is to come back into this world once again.
- I stand in awe of the Lamb of God, the Lion of Judah, the Root of David.
- I stand in awe of our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father.
- I stand in awe of the Prince of Peace, Great I AM, King of kings and Lord of lords.
- I stand in awe of the Faithful Witness, the First born from among the dead, the Ruler of the kings of the Earth.
- I stand in awe of the One Who Loves me with an everlasting Love, Who freed me from my sins by Your Own precious and priceless Blood, Who made us to be a kingdom of priests, a holy Nation…consecrated and set apart to the worship of God.
- I stand in awe of the One Whose eyes are like blazing fire, Whose feet are as burnished bronze, the One out of Whose mouth comes a sharp, double-edged sword, quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword…piercing, even to the dividing asunder of the soul and spirit, even to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow.
- I stand in awe of the One Whose voice is Majestic and Powerful, like the thunderous roar of many rushing waters churning wildly through a narrow chasm, cascading over a great waterfall, and thundering to the depths below.
BLOOD OF CHRIST
I stand in awe of the Sacrificial Lamb of God. You laid aside Your Divine Majesty, Glory, and Almighty consuming Power, and came into this world clothed in meekness, lowliness, and humility. You loved me with an everlasting love, and You voluntarily lay down Your life for me, even unto death. No one took Your life, Lord; You were free to lay it down, and free to take it up again. You stretched out Your arms on a cross on my behalf, and declared, “IT IS FINISHED!”
IT IS FINISHED, for all time and for all Eternity…available to any soul who would freely and wholeheartedly choose to appropriate as their own the rich eternal blessings of the finished work of Christ on that cross at Calvary, through their solemn marriage vows to become Your eternal bride, Blessed Jesus…the bride of Christ.
By virtue of the Eternal Power and Eternal Worth of Your Precious and Priceless Blood poured out on behalf of the souls of Mankind on that cross at Calvary, You have forever freed me from my sins…past, present, and future…and restored my relationship with God that had been severed by sin.
- IT IS FINISHED…The Eternal Power and Eternal Worth of the Blood of Christ has secured eternal forgiveness of my sins, and has guaranteed and secured my Judicial Status of Eternal Righteousness before God as an accomplished and finished fact.
- IT IS FINISHED…The Eternal Power and Eternal Worth of the Blood of Christ has guaranteed and secured my Eternal Union with You, Lord…now joined inseparably together with You in an Eternal living union of oneness as the bride of Christ in a divine spiritual marriage…flesh of Your flesh and bone of Your bones.
- IT IS FINISHED…The Eternal Power and Eternal Worth of the Blood of Christ has guaranteed and secured that the Eternal Purpose for which God created me…to be joined together with the Triune God in a Sacred Covenant relationship…stands eternally fulfilled.
- IT IS FINISHED…The Eternal Power and Eternal Worth of the Blood of Christ has guaranteed and secured my Eternal Access into the Holy Of Holies, and into the inaccessible Light of the Glory of Your unclouded Presence, Father…as my birth-right.
- IT IS FINISHED…The Eternal Holy Spirit was indeed given as God’s Eternal Gift to dwell in me, never to leave me, never to forsake me…to be the Power in me Who continually guarantees and secures my capability to live my everyday life faithful to my solemn marriage vows as the bride of Christ in our Sacred Covenant relationship.
- IT IS FINISHED…The Eternal Power of the indwelling Holy Spirit is now made continually available to me, Whose Power in me continually guarantees and secures my capability to live my everyday life faithfully within the Holy Of Holies, in the inaccessible Light of the Glory of Your unclouded Presence, Father, in our Sacred Covenant relationship.
I WORSHIP YOUR MAJESTY
I stand in awe of the One Who will be coming back into this world once again, no longer as the Lamb of God but this time as the Lion of Judah, arrayed in all of Your Majesty, Glory, and Power, to assume Your role and to begin Your reign on Earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
In that glorious coming Day, every eye will see You, even those who pierced You, and all the peoples of the Earth will mourn because of You. They will mourn as they now fully realize the incomprehensible magnitude of what they had done in crucifying the Lord of Glory, and the contemplation of the impending magnitude of the consequences that will now be visited upon them as a result of what they had done.
I stand in awe of the One Who is high and lifted up…high and exalted…seated on the Throne at the right hand of the Father, and the train of Your robe fills the Temple. Above You the seraphs cry out to one another continually day and night: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD God Almighty; the whole Earth is full of Your Glory.”
At the sound of their thunderous voices reverberating throughout the farthest reaches of the Universe, the doorposts and thresholds tremble and shake, and the Temple is filled with smoke from the awe-filled Majesty and Glory of Your Presence and Your Almighty consuming Power.
All those upon the Earth who never knew You…the rich as well as the poor; the kings and princes and rulers of this world, as well as their subjects and slaves; the famous and the well-known, as well as the unknown and the obscure; the arrogant, haughty, and proud…all of these alike will run to the hills and to the mountains in abject terror, to hide in caves and to cry out for the rocks to fall upon them…just to hide them from the face of the Lamb and from Your terrible Majesty!
In that Day, Blessed Jesus, You will stand steadfast and immovable, with You right foot on the sea and Your left foot on the land, and You will declare with invincible Omnipotent Power, “There shall be no more delay!”
Woe, woe, woe unto the Earth and its inhabitants on that Day when You utter those ominous words; it would have been better for those people had they no longer been living.
In that Great and Terrible Day of the Lord, Father, Your Divine Son Jesus will manifest the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God against all those upon the Earth who stand in rebellion to His Throne, and He will destroy all those upon the Earth who are enemies and usurpers of His rule and authority, until He has placed every one of His enemies under His feet. Then in that Day, Your will, Father, will voluntarily be done on Earth, even as it is in Heaven.
I stand in awe of the Rider on the white horse, Whose robe is dipped in blood, and on Whose thigh is written, “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
I stand in awe of the One Who with one fell swoop of Your terrible swift sword against the vast countless multitudes who rise up against You, and their blood will flow…like a river…for 200 miles to the height of a horse’s bridle!
I stand in awe of Your terrible Majesty and Glory, Lord Jesus!
I stand in awe of Your awesome Power!
I stand in awe of Your Majestic Holiness, Your Almighty consuming Power!
I stand in awe of You!
I ascribe unto You all Blessing and Honor, all Glory and Power, all riches and wisdom and strength…all be unto You, Abba Father, the One Who sits on the Throne…and to the Lamb, unto You Lord Jesus, Who sits at the right hand of God…be unto to You. Hallelujah!
REDEMPTION OF OUR ETERNAL INHERITANCE
John was caught up in the Spirit, and transported into the Heavenly Realms, there to witness a most incredulous, astounding scene…what no eye has ever seen, nor ear heard, nor has ever entered into the heart of man! He saw before him a majestic, awe-filled Throne, and One sitting on the Throne…the Father Himself! In His right hand He was holding a sealed scroll…a scroll with writing on both sides that was sealed with seven seals…the title-deeds to God’s wonderfully created Earth that had been forfeited and mortgaged to Satan and his seed, detailing within the required price and particulars for the redemption of that inheritance thus forfeited and disponed away by Adam’s sin. A mighty angel came forward, and in a thunderous, powerful voice cried out, “Who is worthy to take the scroll and break its seals?”
There was only silence. No one in Heaven or on Earth or under the Earth could be found who was worthy, who could satisfy the requirements to open the scroll or even look inside it.
John wept and wept with uncontrollable grief because no one could be found who was worthy…that all the hopes for a redeemed inheritance promised by the prophets, and all the hopes and aspirations and expectations and anticipations of the saints down through the ages, and all the longings of all Creation itself for that glorious day when it would be freed from its bondage to corruption and decay…all seemed hopelessly lost, destined to end in utter and abject failure!
Then one of the elders came forward and went over to John, and said, “Do not weep! Behold!…the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David…He has triumphed over sin and death! He has redeemed the inheritance that was lost by Adam through his sin! He has redeemed the inheritance that had been mortgaged to Satan and his seed! He has satisfied the particulars of that mortgage, and paid the price of redemption…with His Own Precious and Priceless Blood! He is the true Go’el (OT:1350) Who is able to take the scroll and break forever its seven debarring seals!”
John looked up and saw a Lamb…the very Lamb of God Himself… approaching the Throne! He overcame by His perfect obedience unto death, and paid the price of redemption in His meek sufferings, bearing our sins in His Own body and vanquishing all legal disabilities by His atoning Blood, and thereby is adjudged worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals.
He came and took the scroll from the right hand of Him Who sat on the Throne…that momentous act for which all Creation has ever so patiently waited for and longed for…the lifting of the title-deeds of the alienated inheritance…the legal act of repossession of all that was lost in Adam, paid for by the Blood and tears of the Son of God!
He was thereby now assuming His role and was now to begin His reign on Earth as the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. The appointed time had now come for the rightful owner of the estate to enforce the indignation of that Throne against all who stand in rebellion against it, preparations having already been made for the sending forth in succession with the breaking of each seal a strong Destroyer in fierce assault upon the enemies and usurpers who occupy the Earth!
The entire universe was stricken with awe, and all Heaven looked on in solemn silence as that momentous act for which all Creation has ever so patiently waited for and longed for….that act of taking possession of the scroll…was being performed. And when He had taken it, there went an ineffable thrill of joy through the universal heart of all Creation! The four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell prostrate in adoring wonder and joy before the Lamb…that the unanswered volumes and oceans of prayers of the saints that have ever entreated their God that “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven” had now been answered!
And they sang a new song…a song which had never before been sung:
You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals,
because You were, for sinners, slain,
and with Your Own Precious and Priceless Blood You purchased souls for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation!
You made us to be a kingdom, and priests, to serve our God and Father, and we shall now indeed begin our promised reign together with You, as kings upon the Earth!
HEAVEN AND EARTH ENGAGED IN RESOUNDING WORSHIP
Then John saw a vast host of angels…thousands upon thousands, ten thousand times ten thousand angels encircling the Throne and the four living beings and the twenty-four elders! With loud voices resounding throughout the farthest reaches of the universe, they were singing:
Worthy is the Lamb, Who was slain, to receive all blessing and honor, Glory and Power, riches and wisdom and strength!
Then in response to the adoring rapture of these Heavenly beings, wider and still wider spread the sympathetic response, as I heard every creature in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and in the seas, and all that is in them join together in singing:
To Him Who sits on the Throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and Glory and Power, forever and ever!
The four living beings shouted, “Amen,” and the twenty-four elders fell prostrate before the Throne and worshiped the One Who sits on the Throne and the Lamb!
Unceasingly, day and night, the four living beings never stop proclaiming: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who was, and is, and is to come.”
Whenever the four living beings give glory, honor and thanks to Him Who sits on the Throne and Who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him Who sits on the Throne, and worship Him Who lives forever and ever. They cast their golden crowns before the Throne and cry out: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive Glory and honor and Power, for You created all things; by Your will they were created and by Your will they have their very being.”
ROYAL CHILDREN OF GOD ENGAGED IN RESOUNDING WORSHIP
Lord God Almighty, I have gazed attentively upon You in the sanctuary and I have beheld Your Power and Your Glory. Formerly, my ears had only heard of You; but now my eyes have seen You and have seen Your Glory!
In the presence of the congregation, I will proclaim Your Great Name and Your Mighty Power according to all that my eyes shall see! Surely, I will enter Your gates with thanksgiving, I will come into Your courts with praise!
I love the House where You live, O Lord…the place where Your Glory dwells. How lovely is Your dwelling place, Lord God Almighty! My soul yearns…even pines away and is homesick…for Your courts. My heart and my flesh cry out and sing for joy to You, the One True Living God! I find my home and my resting place in the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered in the arms of my God. Whom have I in Heaven but You, Abba Father? And Earth has nothing I desire besides You.
Because Your steadfast Love for me is better than life, my lips continually proclaim Your Glory! My lips shout for joy as I sing praises to You…I, whom You have redeemed! You turned my wailing to dancing! You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy…that my heart may sing to You and not be silent! It is only the dead who do not praise You, O Lord…neither the physically dead nor the spiritually dead…not by any who go down into the land of silence. O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever and ever, throughout the eternal ages! I will praise You as long as I have life, and in honor to Your Name, I lift my hands and worship You! Every day I will bless You and adore You, Precious Lord; yes, I will praise Your wonderful Name forever and ever!
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praises; with singing lips my mouth overflows with Your praises! I will open my mouth and offer up unto You a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of my lips,
worshiping You for Who You are, Father…the One True Living God;
worshiping You, Lord Jesus, for Who You are…the Eternal Divine Son of God; the Messiah Whom You had sent, Father; the Sacrificial Lamb of God…
praising You for all You have done for the souls of Men down through the generations of time since Your creation of Adam…
graciously acknowledging with a heart of eternal thanksgiving and unceasing praise all You have Personally done for me.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, I behold Your Majestic Holiness face to Face, Lord; I bow before You with a shuddering awe-filled regard and with the utmost reverence and respect.
I owe my soul’s eternal destiny of Heaven to You. My soul shall forever be satisfied, as with the richest of foods! I feast on the abundance of Your house, Lord; You give me drink from Your River of delights…a River of unceasing glorious and rich eternal pleasures at Your right hand…eternal pleasures at Your right hand beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations…rich eternal treasures that no eye has ever seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered into the heart of Man to ever begin to imagine, what wondrous things God has prepared for those who love Him…a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness nevermore to cease!
Mine eyes have seen Your Glory…yes, the coming of My Lord;
You have opened up the storehouse where Your grapes of wrath are stored;
You’ve unleashed Your fearful lightening and Your terrible swift sword;
Your Truth keeps marching on!
Glory, Glory, hallelujah! Glory, Glory, hallelujah! Glory, Glory, hallelujah…Your Truth keeps marching on!
Holy:
