THE HUMILITY CONNECTION TO WORSHIP
by
Kent Cooley

(Adapted from Luke 14:11; John 15:5)

Philippians 4:13; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22 )

One fall day as a young 15 year old southern gospel enthusiast, I was delighted to see a new double, long-playing, live album by one of my favorite groups which I will not name. When I took the recording home from the Christian bookstore and put it on the turn table, I could feel such a powerful presence of God on the music, singing and the short periods of preaching in between songs. Four years later, the same group came out with another double, live album which I bought with the same high expectations as the first one. Fully expecting to enjoy this album the same, I was disappointed that I did not feel the strong unction of the Holy Spirit as was so obviously on the first one. On the first recording, the singers lifted up Jesus and declared the praises of God. On the second live project, four years later, they mostly declared the praises of the group and how many awards they had won. What a difference there was in those short four years.

I traveled with an evangelist during the 80’s who had a prophetic dream concerning me. He said that he saw me singing “I exalt You, I exalt You.” And then he heard the Lord say, “I exalt you, I exalt you.” The scripture declares . . .

Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,

and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Father, I do exalt You. I lift you up. 

I humble myself before you and glory in you alone.
