Saturday Night - Paul Andrew - When God Takes Over The Services

2 Chron. 5: 13-14- “Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.”

It came to pass…
1) Be As One- Do we understand meaning of unity? Jesus prayed that we one (Jh 17:21), He says that the world would believe that God sent Jesus because of our unity. At the heart of community is a true sense of unity: standing for the people around you.

2) Make one sound- end of vs. 13 they lifted up their voice (singular) not their voice(s) which happens when a group of singers and musicians get together normally you hear their differences in this vs. they were as one.

3) Lift Up One Voice- Ps 133- “A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.”

When we actually are as one (unified) the spirit of God will take over and His presence be such a cloud of witness that we won’t be able to do anything but stand in awe of Him.

What are you doing to contribute to being one voice in the body of Christ?
