HOLY   GOD'S   FUNNEL!!!!!!!!!

HOLY GOD'S FUNNEL?????

"What in the world is that?!?!???

Well, actually...it is not OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!

Psalm 63:3-5.....
(Oh God) Because YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS is better than
life,
My lips SHALL PRAISE YOU.
Thus I WILL BLESS YOU (Oh GOD!!!)
while I Live.
I will lift up my hands in YOUR NAME.
My soul shall be satisfied (as with abundance).....
And my mouth SHALL PRAISE YOU WITH JOYFUL LIPS."

Psalm 47:1-2.....
"Shout to GOD with the voice of triumph!
For the LORD MOST HIGH is awesome!"

Psalm 113:5-6
"Who is like the LORD  OUR GOD,
Who dwells on High,
WHO HUMBLES HIMSELF to behold the things
that are in the heavens and on the earth?"


Definition: Humble, shaphel  ("shah-fail")
Strongs #8213.  To humble, bring down, or make low...
"GOD, WHO dwells on high, HUMBLES HIMSELF,
to watch what is occurring in heaven and on earth."

I Timothy 2:8...
"I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, with the lifting
up of holy hands, without wrath and doubting."

Prayer (and worship) with the lifting
up of holy hands.....The... hands were lifted
and spread out toward heaven
as a posture of SURRENDER.


I once heard of a speech therapist teaching a group of worship leaders:
He (the speech therapist) stated:
"The best (most effective) body position for singing is-
standing with both arms extended upward"with our
hands farther apart than the width of our shoulders-----

Indeed that position is similar to the shape of a FUNNEL-----
whereby our hearts, and our lives can be like a funnel -
through which the VASTNESS OF ALMIGHTY GOD
can flow through our lives into the VAST NUMBER  of LIVES
all over the earth that NEED HIM!!!

ONLY BY HIS GRACE, our LORD has given me understanding...
(Please bear with me now, please be asking the HOLY SPIRIT to
"...guide you into all truth." (As Jesus says in John 16:13.).

It is as if you and I are in the narrow part (the "neck") of a
funnel.........

When we are HUMBLE.....our head (and heart) are bowed down-----
so the VASTNESS OF GOD'S LOVE can flow through the
narrow part of the funnel to those (everyone!) who needs HIM!!!

BUT, when we are arrogant, proud, "stiff-necked".....
then our upraised head and neck BLOCK the flow and the LORD
GOD MOST HIGH cannot flow through us (the funnel) to the
people.


Let us ALWAYS remember that THE ONLY TRUE GOD (John 17:3),
"GOD MOST HIGH" (Psalm 47:2), "THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL"
(Isaiah 29:19)---HE says to us in (James 4:10)---
"Humble YOURSELVES in the sight of the LORD, and
HE will lift you up."

"Oh come, Let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the LORD our MAKER...
OH WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAULTY OF
(HIS) HOLINESS!"

TREMBLE BEFORE HIM, ALL THE EARTH."
(Psalm 95:6, Psalm 96:9)
