# Bringing Back the Glory:

A Journey of Faith and Worship.

## Thanksgiving, Praise, and Worship.

Are you seeking to bring back the glory into the Church? It starts with Thanksgiving, Praise, and Worship. When we glorify God with grateful hearts and voices lifted in praise, we invite His presence to dwell among us.

In the journey of faith, Thanksgiving takes us through the gates of the Outer Court, Praise leads us into the Holy Place, and Worship brings us to the Holy of Holies. Each step drawing us closer to the heart of God.

## The Power of Praying in the Spirit.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit grants us a new language, a heavenly language to communicate with God. When we pray in the spirit, our words may be unknown to our minds, but they are powerful in the spiritual realm. It is a way for the Spirit to intercede for us and provide us with the words to glorify God.

## Stepping into the Glory through Singing.

Singing in the spirit is a profound way to release the glory within us and glorify God. Just as we can pray in tongues, we can also sing in tongues, allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal new songs and Psalms that magnify the Lord. This is a way to connect with God on a deeper level and draw His presence closer to us.

## Hosting the Holy Spirit in Church Meetings.

In every church gathering, there should be a space for the Holy Spirit to move and speak. Through prayer, praise, worship, communion, preaching, and ministry, we can create an atmosphere where the Spirit can work freely. It is essential to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide the flow of the meeting.

## Activation Time for Spiritual Gifts.

Take a moment to pray in the spirit, listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit, and write down any revelations. This is a way to activate and develop the spiritual gifts within you. By being attentive to the leading of the Spirit, we can experience a deeper connection with God and bring back the glory into the Church.

Let us embark on this journey together, seeking to glorify God in all we do and inviting His presence to dwell among us. As we engage in Thanksgiving, Praise, and Worship, pray in the spirit, sing with understanding, and host the Holy Spirit in our gatherings, we will step into the glory that God has prepared for us.

## The Power of Praying in the Spirit.

In our journey of faith, the power of praying in the spirit cannot be underestimated. When we receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, we are granted a new language, a heavenly language, that allows us to communicate with God in ways beyond our human understanding. This language of the spirit is a powerful tool for intercession, as the Holy Spirit prays through us, aligning our prayers with the will of God.

### Unlocking Spiritual Revelation.

Praying in the spirit opens doors to spiritual revelation and insight. As we engage in this form of prayer, our minds may not fully comprehend the words being spoken, but our spirits are in tune with the Holy Spirit. This enables us to receive divine wisdom, guidance, and understanding that go beyond our natural capabilities. It is a way for the Spirit to reveal mysteries and truths to us that we may not have accessed otherwise.

### Empowering Our Worship and Praise.

When we pray in the spirit, we are empowered to worship and praise God in a deeper way. The words that flow from our spirits are inspired by the Holy Spirit, allowing us to magnify the Lord with authenticity and fervour. This form of prayer enhances our connection with God, enabling us to glorify Him with a purity of heart and a depth of adoration that transcends human language.

### Strengthening Our Spiritual Journey.

Praying in the spirit strengthens our spiritual journey and deepens our relationship with God. It is a way to align our hearts with the heart of God, allowing His will to be done in and through us.

As we engage in this spiritual discipline, we open ourselves up to a greater outpouring of the Spirit's power and presence in our lives. It is a transformative practice that draws us closer to God and empowers us to walk in His purposes and plans.

## Stepping into the Glory through Singing.

Singing in the spirit is a profound way to release the glory within us and glorify God. Just as we can pray in tongues, we can also sing in tongues, allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal new songs and Psalms that magnify the Lord. This is a way to connect with God on a deeper level and draw His presence closer to us.

In the journey of faith, our voices can become instruments of worship, resonating with the heavenly realms as we release the songs that the Spirit places on our hearts. Through singing in the spirit, we can tap into a divine flow of creativity and expression that transcends language barriers and reaches the depths of God's heart.

As we engage in this powerful form of worship, we open ourselves up to a divine exchange where our praises become a gateway for the glory of God to manifest in our midst. Through singing in the spirit, we invite the presence of the Holy Spirit to move in our lives and in our gatherings, bringing about transformation and revival in the Church.

## Hosting the Holy Spirit in Church Meetings.

In every church gathering, creating an environment where the Holy Spirit can move freely is essential. Through prayer, praise, worship, communion, preaching, and ministry, we lay the foundation for the Spirit to work in our midst. Each section of the meeting should have a designated time, leader, and structure to ensure a smooth flow of the Holy Spirit's guidance.

1. **Be Open to the Spirit's Leading**: It is crucial to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's promptings during church meetings. Allow for flexibility in the schedule to accommodate any changes the Spirit may bring. By being open and receptive, we create space for the Spirit to speak and minister through the gifts He has given to the congregation.

2. **Encourage Participation in Spiritual Gifts**: Provide opportunities for members of the congregation to operate in spiritual gifts such as prophecy, healing, and tongues. Set aside time for testimonies and spontaneous moments of sharing what the Spirit is revealing. Encourage leaders to actively support and cultivate the use of spiritual gifts among the church body.

3. **Create a Welcoming Environment**: Make it known that the church values and welcomes the operation of spiritual gifts. Have a designated leader oversee the access to the microphone for sharing prophetic words or testimonies. Record and document any prophecies or insights shared during the meeting to track and follow up on them.

4. **Training and Development**: Hold meetings or sessions to train and develop the congregation in using spiritual gifts effectively. Provide teachings on how to discern the leading of the Spirit, cultivate a spirit of unity and cooperation, and empower individuals to step out in faith. By equipping the church body, we can host the Holy Spirit more effectively in our gatherings.

As we cultivate a culture of openness, participation, and training in spiritual gifts, we create a space where the Holy Spirit can move powerfully among us. Hosting the Holy Spirit in our church meetings is not just about the structure or order but about creating an atmosphere where God's presence is welcomed, and His voice is heard. Let us continue to seek His guidance and leading as we gather together in His name, expecting a fresh outpouring of His Spirit in our midst.
