the fruit of lips
Samuel Acevedo
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The speaker discusses the importance of praise and worship in connecting with God. He notes that the ultimate goal of praise and worship is to facilitate a connection between individuals and God. The speaker also acknowledges that it can be difficult to enter into praise and worship, but encourages individuals to offer the Lord the fruit of their lips, even if it is a sacrifice. The speaker references Hebrews 13:15 and discusses the importance of holiness and sanctification in accessing the presence of the Lord. He emphasizes that God is the source of all good things and that we need Him in our lives.
The Lord created humans and desired to have a relationship with them. He came down to earth and sacrificed himself on the cross to tear the veil of the temple and give humans access to His presence. However, humans must make an intentional effort to leave their busy lives and enter the presence of the Lord. The writer of Hebrews describes a supernatural, spiritual, invisible dimension that is real and can be accessed through the sacrifice of praise. Angels and chariots of fire surround the house of God, and the sacrifice of praise is a way to enter that dimension. It may feel strange at first, but it is a necessary sacrifice.
The speaker encourages the audience to enter into the presence of the Lord and offer their praise and worship. He emphasizes that the Lord listens to prayers and can provide wisdom, peace, goodness, grace, and mercy. The speaker leads the audience in an exercise to offer their own psalm of adoration to the Lord and declare their faith in Him as their provider, healer, protector, and deliverer. The speaker encourages the audience to offer their "lip fruit" to the Lord, even if they don't fully understand or feel it.

I want to invite brother Samuel Acevedo, he has the word of God for us. This morning was a great blessing to the people of God. Let's listen to the word of God now and get in the mood to receive through this way.
Let's pray my brothers. Lord, we thank you for your presence, which has been so palpable, and we thank you, Lord, for this word that is life and effective, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
