Surrounded By Songs of Deliverance: "Worthy Is The Lamb"

[Mr. M]

Psalms 32:

6 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You. In a time when You  may be found;

surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him.

7 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble;

You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

The godly person knows that the time for prayer and worship is today.

We cannot anticipate everything that may come our way, but we can prepare ourselves.

To be preserved from trouble in Him, as our hiding place, we can walk upon great waters.

Have you taken the time to listen to the voices of those who surround you with their songs of deliverance?

Hebrews 12:

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,

and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

2 looking unto Jesus, the originator and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured

the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

We acknowledge that we are members of the body of Christ, but have we entered into the fullness of

experiencing Christ? You may have had the opportunity to worship in a large auditorium or stadium setting

with tens of thousands, but only have experienced a shadow of heavenly worship.

For He has made the Way for us, to come together at Mount Zion in heaven, to join our voices with all who have

learned these songs of deliverance. Have we joined our voices with those who sing “Worthy Is The Lamb”?

Revelation 5:

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb,

each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song, saying: You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals. For You were slain,

and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders;

and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 

12 saying with a loud voice: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom,

and strength and honor and glory and blessing!

13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea,

and all that are in them, I heard saying: Blessing and honor and glory and power to Him who sits on the throne,

and to the Lamb, forever and ever!

14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him

who lives forever and ever.

Where is the faith of those who do not take this invitation seriously?

It is for this reason that Christ shed His blood.

Hebrews 10:

19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

21 and having a High Priest over the house of God,

22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from

an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting and

so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 12:

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,

to an innumerable company of angels,

23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all,

to the spirits of just men made perfect.
