Nothing brings me to a place of worship quicker than when I think about God’s Mercy, Love and Grace toward me.
This morning, we come and say, “Thank You, Jesus.”
Father God,
You love Us so deeply. We lay ourselves at your feet. We are your servants and ambassadors. Use us for your glory. Let us be your hands and feet and whatever else you need us to be. Every day is a day to give you praise, glory and honor. We lift our hearts and hands up to you. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Please enjoy today’s worship video entitled, “What Mercy Did For Me.”
With My Hands Lifted Up and My Mouth Filled with Praise, with a Heart of Thanksgiving, I will Bless Thee O Lord.
Colossians 3:16-17
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
16 Let the message about Christ completely fill your lives, while you use all your wisdom to teach and instruct each other. With thankful hearts, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. 17 Whatever you say or do should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks to God the Father because of him.
EVERY time I get to praise God, my heart and spirit are overwhelmed. There is ALWAYS a reason to bless the name of the Lord.
I WILL BLESS THE LORD, OH MY SOUL!!!
Saints, get to place, in your worship, that if no one else around you praises God, you will not stop or be deterred from praising God. Never be ashamed of the God you serve.
I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. No matter where you are from or what language you speak, being Thankful is always in season. Amen??!!
Today our worship and is from West Angeles Mass Choir. The medley is entitled, “Bless The Lord Medley.”
Remember, I love you with an AMAZING LOVE. Rev. Marcia Davis
Good morning, to my brothers and sisters all around the world.
Have you ever heard someone say, “I prayed, but God didn’t answer my prayer?”
So many people give up on God because of unanswered prayer. There is a reason a portion of the Lord’s Prayer contains the following sentence: “Your will be done, on earth, as it has been done in heaven.”
The primary reason prayers to God are not being answered is because the prayer(s) are not being prayed according to God’s will. Most prayers are prayed according to our needs, wants, desires and emotions.
Ask God to help turn your prayers into prayers that line up with his will.
1 John 5:13-15
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Knowing about Eternal Life
13 All of you have faith in the Son of God, and I have written to let you know that you have eternal life. 14We are certain that God will hear our prayers when we ask for what pleases him. 15 And if we know that God listens when we pray, we are sure that our prayers have already been answered.
Please enjoy today’s worship video performed by Hillary Scott & The Scott Family. The song is entitled, “Thy Will.”
I’m so grateful that God loves us. Not because of anything we have done, but because He FIRST loved us.
Think about that for a minute….
God knew every sin we would commit. He knew every time we would blame him for something going wrong. He know every time we would turn our backs on him. But he STILL said, “I Love You So Much.” He loved us in spite of our humanness, judgement and faults.
So when things don’t always turn out the way you planned, remember that Jesus loved you First.
Our Prayer:
Father, Abba, Daddy, Way Shower, Everlasting God:
Help us, your children, remember the sacrifice you made just to love Us. We trust you, even when we can’t see the future. We love you, even when we are scared and in pain. We believe you, because you have never given us a reason not to. We lift our hearts to you and cry, “Holy and Worthy is the Living God and Lamb.” Amen.
Psalm 34:1-8
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Honor the Lord
I will always praise the Lord. 2 With all my heart, I will praise the Lord. Let all who are helpless, listen and be glad. 3 Honor the Lord with me! Celebrate his great name.
4 I asked the Lord for help, and he saved me from all my fears. 5 Keep your eyes on the Lord! You will shine like the sun and never blush with shame. 6 I was a nobody, but I prayed, and the Lord saved me from all my troubles.
7 If you honor the Lord, his angel will protect you. 8 Discover for yourself that the Lord is kind. Come to him for protection, and you will be glad.
Worship God this morning. No matter how things may look Right Now, God is STILL worthy of our best praise.
I love you, with an AMAZING LOVE.
Rev. Marcia Davis
Please enjoy and sing with Joe Pace and the Colorado Mass Choir as they sing, “I Will Bless the Lord at All Times.”
What an awesome week this has been. We have received great feedback on how much people have enjoyed this week’s devotionals, as we Worship in Every Language. I may have to continue this for another week. There are still so many languages we have not covered.
If you have time, this weekend, write me back and tell me your native language. We are ALL brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Today we close out the week with a praise song written by Pastor John P. Key entitled, “Show Up.” The song is performed by one of my favorite choirs, The Heritage Mass Choir out of Seoul Korea.
Be blessed today and know that I love you with an AMAZING LOVE. Rev. Marcia Davis
Here are the English lyrics. Read along as you listen.
“SHOW UP”
If there be anyone who’s going through We have an answer to the problem for you.
Trust and obey and never give in…
Only the strong shall survive and win. Just ask the question and the answer shall come Just exercise your faith and know He’s the one
If there is no sign, keep this in mind He’ll show up on time
God is not a man that He’ll tell you a lie If He tells you so, on Him you can rely
Show up, show up, show up He’ll show up on time
Show up, show up, show up Show up
He will show up, show up He will show up, show up He will show up, show up on time
Today we continue the theme for this week of Worshipping in Every Language.
Our scripture for this week is:
Revelation 7:9-10
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
People from Every Nation
9 After this, I saw a large crowd with more people than could be counted. They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands, 10 as they shouted,
“Our God, who sits upon the throne, has the power to save his people, and so does the Lamb.”
Today our worship video is in Hebrew. This video does contain English subtitles.
Enjoy, worship and praise our God. May the Whole World sing His praises.
Father God,
Allow us to see our brothers and sisters in Christ as our true family.
This week has been so much fun as I listen to different worship songs from all around the world. I wish the world could become one big choir and we could sing as ONE to God.
Today, our worship video is in Greek. The song is entitled, “Here I Am to Worship.”
Φως της Αυγής
Revelation 7:9-10
Contemporary English Version (CEV)

Today we continue our Praise in Every Languageweek. This week we are showcasing worship songs in every language.

Mighty to Save
LYRICS
Well, everyone needs compassion
A love that’s never failing
But let mercy fall on me
Well everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
My Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
And fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
And now I surrender
(I surrender)
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save

This week we will be honoring every language and every culture around the world.
Today is for my Spanish speaking brothers and sisters all around the world. God’s love does not discriminate or separate and neither do we. I believe heaven is going to be a colorful beautiful place.
Father,
As we worship you daily, help us to know that your love is everlasting. Your word tells us to love others the way we want to be loved. Remind us the we are Your love servants, here to spread your word and your love.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Please enjoy the words to this beautiful song. I have included the English translation.
24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
The worship video today is a little different, but I’m using it to get my point across. In the movie Sister Act 2 the choir initially is very timid in their praise to the Lord. They have not fully walked into the power of believing what they are singing….until someone reminds them who they are. Slowly they gain their confidence and assurance in what they are singing.
So the same is for us. When we brag on God, our testimony and posture needs to be that of someone who believes that God is exceedingly and abundantly AWESOME.
When you praise God, do it from a heart of thanksgiving, joy and worship.
