Keys that unlock worship

Sometimes we get so overwhelmed over things that happen in our lives that are totally out of our control.  It is at that moment when we have a choice to make.  What are we going to do?  Are we going to dwell on our circumstances or are we going to worship God?  That is where true worship begins, when we are able to give an honest and true worship to our Creator, despite what we may be going through.  No wonder the bible says that He is looking for people who will worship him in Spirit and in truth, meaning that there are those who "worship" but it's enough.  God is looking for people who can really push through their situation and give Him the best. It's all or nothing!

Ruth Rodriguez is a friend who was introduced to me by my husband and she has been such a blessing to my life.  Talk about someone who can provoke the floodgates of heaven to be opened and allow God's presence to take over a space.  I'm talking about someone who is passionate about worship despite the hiccups she has encountered along the way, in this journey called life. Ruthy as we call her is a woman of God with a heart of worship.  That is all God is looking for, someone who can surrender completely to Him and can say: Lord, use me.

When God has a calling over someone's life, there is nothing that can stop it and no one who can detain it.  It is written not by man, but by God.  And this young woman has been so instrumental in the christian music industry. She's been able to bless a lot ministries with her many talents such as being a producer, songwriter, musician and vocalalist. She also currently is the Associate Pastor and Youth Pastor at The People's Tabernacle of Worship church in New Jersey and God is lifting her up in a mighty way through the word as well.


What really captivates me about Ruthy is not her many gifts and abilities but it is her sensibility, her passion will always outweigh any obstacles that may try to hinder her along the way.  And that is a great lesson to be learned.  You can still carve out to what will be a great legacy on earth no matter what curve balls life has thrown at you. One thing she says is: "Don't feel sorry for me, let's focus on the strength." And today I say to you, don't feel sorry for yourself, get up! God wants to do great things in you, through you and for you.

When we surrender ourselves completely to the Lord and say to him: I am yours, use me as you please, you will begin to see God take you to places where you never imagined you would be. But it all begins with a willing heart that is completely and utterly willing to get lost in worship.  When we realize how powerful worship is in our lives and understand that worship is the golden key that allows us to unlock the blessings from above, we will start to see unbelievable things happen.

Through worship we receive our breakthrough, through worship we receive healing, through worship our lives are changed. Worship is everything!  Understand that you have been given a golden key to unlock blessings that are reserved just for you, they carry your name and only through worship will you be able to see the complete fulfillness of them in your life.

Your circumstance shouldn't break you, it should make you. -Ruth Rodriguez

Be Encouraged, Be Blessed!
