He is one of my dear friends and I'm so thankful for him and his ministry. If you missed last week's apostolic mentoring session with Bishop Weber from Louisiana, you missed a masterpiece. You've got to go back onto the Apostolic Mentoring YouTube channel and listen to that powerful kingdom-critical episode. The Holy Ghost just fell in that meeting. So many prophetic words broke loose for God's global church and there was great kingdom critical equipping that took place.

Speaker 2: 5:23

We just love you all very much and it's such a joy to be a part of this kingdom mission together the mission together.

Speaker 2: 6:21

But today we are so excited about our guest.

Speaker 1: 6:25

We've been trying to make this happen for a little while and I'm so thrilled that today it has finally come. I'm going to put in the chat here contact information, link information. Today our guest is Pastor Cort Chavis. I absolutely love this man of God, a powerful apostolic leader in our midst. Of course, many of you know him from conferences all over the world where he has led us into worship, but he is also the pastor of Truth Chapel.

Speaker 2: 7:31

Speaker 1: 7:34

Logansville, Georgia.

Speaker 2: 7:47

And I put a link here in the chat of where you can get connected to Truth Chapel webpage.

Speaker 1: 7:52

They also have a podcast. You've got to connect and subscribe to that. And then, of course, all of us love to listen to him as he leads us into worship to him as he leads us into worship. So I put a link also where you can get some great apostolic music. Don't worry all the Facebook family, I'll put these links on there as well in just a few moments. And most importantly, about Brother Chavis. You guys know that my youngest daughter, bri Bri. She only attends three apostolic mentoring sessions a year.

Speaker 2: 9:00

Not even three, really because it depends on who my guests are.

Speaker 1: 9:13

And so she will only attend apostolic mentoring?

Speaker 2: 9:15

if it is, it has to be Aaron Bounds.

Speaker 1: 9:17

It has to be Court Chavis and then it can only be Court Chavis. So those are her three favorites in the world, so I'm thrilled today that this is going to be one of the sessions that she is blessed with today. Brother Chavis, we love you. We're so, so humbled and just feel honored that you were able to be with us today.

Speaker 2: 9:48

Thank you, Brother Robinette, for allowing me this opportunity. Thank you, Brother Robinette, for allowing me this opportunity.

Speaker 2: 10:14

Thank you, brother Robinette, I thank you for the joy of being able to be with you.

Speaker 3: 10:24

Hey Bri, how are you doing? I love you very much. You're amazing.

Speaker 2: 10:28

Hey, bri, I hope you're here. I think you're fantastic.

Speaker 3: 10:36

Oh, this is such a treat to be involved with this great assembling today. I appreciate Brother Robinette, appreciate his ministry and his vision to do this, and I'm here today to talk to you guys a little bit about worship in the church.

Speaker 2: 11:20

The importance of worship and what worship is to God and to us. First of all, I believe that we have a cultural context of worship. However, we need to bring in a biblical concept of worship. I believe the Lord would inhabit more places if we were biblical about our worship.

Speaker 3: 12:15

He tells us in the scripture there for praise is kahila, which means the congregation singing together, which means that God wants to come into a place where number one there is unity.

Speaker 2: 14:01

And number two, there's harmony what the Bible says about praise and worship is more important than what we think it is from a church.

Speaker 3: 14:18

aspect Number one I want to begin by talking about the people who serve in the role as worship leaders.

Speaker 2: 14:46

This is a Levitical position.

Speaker 3: 14:49

It's more than talent, skill and ability. It's a position that is more than a position. That is a position that is's more than skill, talent and ability, but it is about your walk with God as well.

Speaker 2: 15:04

Yes, thank you. It's not just about skills and ability, but how you walk with God.

Speaker 3: 15:13

In the Bible, the Levites were viewed differently by God. They had a different role and a different position than everybody else. Because of that that, god has a set of rules for the Levites. When the Levite is right with God, the glory can flow freely. The vessel has to be correct For the oil to be poured out, and so, in worship, we must understand our role as leaders, and I believe that we have not put a staple on that of importance within our churches and even within our movement, because when the vessel is right, god will pour out His Spirit.

Speaker 2: 17:02

I know that God will move in spite of us.

Speaker 3: 17:20

But it is much different when God moves because of us. I want God to move because of me, because I've done everything that needs to be done. I do not want God to have to work around me. Excuse me, sir. I said I do not want God to have to work around me.

Speaker 2: 17:45

I don't want God to be the one who just works around me.

Speaker 3: 17:51

Thank you. So my spirit and my intention and my what's the word I want to use here my spirit, my intention and also my motives must be right when I come to worship the Lord.

Speaker 2: 18:07

Min ånd og min intention og min motive må være rätt når jeg kommer for Gud.

Speaker 3: 18:14

Why are we doing this? How are we doing this? I believe the concept of being apostolic really just means that we're biblical, that we do what the Bible says. And if we're going to do what the Bible says the Bible says that we should clap our hands we should clap our hands, we should dance, we should sing we should shout, we should play instruments and we should be loud. All of these are biblical approaches to praising God. I've heard people say oh, you Pentecostals, you apostolics, you like to be loud in your worship.

Speaker 2: 19:41

You Pentecostals, you apostolics, you like to dance and shout and sing.

Speaker 3: 19:51

However those instructions are found in the Psalms, way before the apostles.

Speaker 2: 20:03

This is a principle of worship that is established by the chief worshiper, David himself.

Speaker 3: 20:16

The man after God's own heart. You cannot read Psalms 150 and think that God wants us to be quiet in our worship. It is a biblical concept, a biblical principle of praise and worship and we sometimes we have to understand the difference between what praise is and what worship is.

Speaker 2: 20:58

And it is also important for us to know what the difference between praise and praise is.

Speaker 3: 21:05

The first time we see worship, the word worship in the Bible. Abraham is taking his son to sacrifice him and he says to the young men stay here, me and the young lad will go up and we will worship. The first time we see praise in the Bible is when Judah is born. His mother says now I will praise God because he's given me this child.

Speaker 3: 22:39

So worship is about what we give God. Praise is about what God gave us. So in praise and worship, there is a celebration of what I've been given, while simultaneously giving God what he's asked of me. I am giving to him because he has given to me. It is a miracle of exchange. God has been so good to me so I cannot be quiet, I cannot be still. I have to worship. I have to give him praise. I'm giving him back what he's given to me. And when we see worship in this way and we see praise in this way, we cannot have an excuse to not give God all the glory and not give God all the praise. This is more than performance. It's more than skill and talent. This is about giving God our best. When God wanted worship from Abraham, he asked Abraham for his best, for his most prized position, the thing that he loved the most. And God is asking us for our prized position.

Speaker 2: 25:29

The thing that we love the most.

Speaker 3: 25:34

And God knows that our most prized possession is most of the time ourselves, and we lay ourselves on the altar of worship Every time. We humble ourselves before God and we give Him our best in worship and praise and we give him our best in worship and praise. There is a flow of worship that begins in the beginning of a service or the beginning of a personal prayer time. A personal prayer time.

Speaker 2: 26:27

A personal praise time.

Speaker 3: 26:32

It begins from earth to heaven and returns from heaven to earth. And when that flow is going, depression has to leave, anxiety has to leave, intimacy begins and God will bring his presence into that place. And that Tehillah praise that I talked about Excuse me, sir, the Tehillah praise from the book of Psalms- From the book of Psalms. God said I will inhabit that place.

Speaker 2: 27:34

I will live in that place.

Speaker 3: 27:41

And when the church gets together and we begin to sing together, sing about his wonderful works, sing about his mighty power.

Speaker 2: 28:03

He said I will come and I will sit down in that place.

Speaker 3: 28:10

This is what happened with Paul and Silas. They weren't even in the church, they were in prison and they beat them and they beat them and they hurt them and they put them in the dungeon but they did not separate them. And God said where two or three are gathered in my name.

Speaker 3: 28:50

He said I'll be there in the midst of them, and so they sang praises. They sang praises at midnight and God came into that place, broke the chains and opened up every door. And that's what happens in a church service on a Sunday morning People are prisoners to their pain.

Speaker 2: 29:27

And this can happen every Sunday when we have meetings.

Speaker 3: 29:31

People can be caught in their pain or in shame and we begin to worship the Lord and he comes in and sits down.

Speaker 2: 29:45

And the prison doors are opened and the chains are broken this is apostolic worship when God can move mountains because people are joined together in unity. This isn't a concert, but we are performing for him. I always tell my church this I tell them the first part of the service. We praise God and we worship God.

Speaker 3: 30:40

The second part of the service. We hear from the word of God.

Speaker 2: 30:44

The second part of the service we hear from the word of God, so the first part of the service is about him.

Speaker 3: 30:58

The second part of the service is about us. So I tell him.

Speaker 2: 31:06

So I tell him don't be late to give God what is his.

Speaker 3: 31:18

Show up early so you can give God what's his, so that you can receive what God has given you because God wants his spirit to move on us so that he can speak to us. In the beginning the earth was without form and void and the Spirit of God moved and God said let there be. So we know this the spirit moves before God speaks.

Speaker 2: 32:31

This is why we sing and praise God Before we receive the word of God, because if the spirit can move on us, the Word can change us. We cannot skimp on the Spirit moving.

Speaker 3: 33:07

Because we need the word to change us the worship and the word work in unity. When Jesus tells us about the sower who went to sow seed, the seed was never the problem.

Speaker 2: 33:45

The soil was the problem.

Speaker 3: 33:47

There was good soil, there was bad soil and there was prepared soil.

Speaker 2: 33:57

And there was prepared soil.

Speaker 3: 34:00

What praise and worship does. Praise and worship does Det, som pris och tillbedelse gör. Praise and worship does not enhance the seed.

Speaker 2: 34:15

The word there. Can you explain that?

Speaker 3: 34:18

Okay, praise and worship does not make the seed better.

Speaker 2: 34:23

Åja, tillbedelse och pris gör inte frö nog bedre, tänker du.

Speaker 3: 34:30

Worship does not make the seed better.

Speaker 2: 34:34

Praise and worship makes the soil better, amen. We have to have that praise and worship To get us ready To receive the word.

Speaker 3: 34:56

It works in tandem.

Speaker 2: 35:01

It works together.

Speaker 3: 35:02

Our response in praise and worship our response in praise and worship as an individual or even as a church body will dictate the performance of the word later on in the service. Somebody said we had a really good church today. It was so good. The preacher didn't even preach. Well, why would you plow a field?

Speaker 2: 36:05

and not put any seed in it is just going to go back to how it was.

Speaker 3: 36:19

Only when the seed is applied to the soil can we have transformation to the soil?

Speaker 2: 36:30

And we have transformation.

Speaker 3: 36:33

New life. We have to have both. This is a biblical context of praise and worship. In a church service, praise and worship is a time of preparing.

Speaker 2: 37:00

It is a preparing place it's more than just a performance. It's a preparing place. It's more than just a performance.

Speaker 3: 37:15

Yeah, we all know that we have to do things in a church service especially, you know we have certain things that we have to get done in a church service. Do announcements.

Speaker 2: 37:34

Take up offering. We all understand the function of a church service.

Speaker 3: 37:45

But worship and word have to be paramount.

Speaker 2: 37:54

It has to be paramount.

Speaker 3: 37:57

Worship and word are very important.

Speaker 2: 37:59

Yes, exactly, it is the main thing you could say.

Speaker 3: 38:15

I believe that one of the issues that we have is that we have gotten away from the biblical meaning of worship and praise and we have made it about our likes and our dislikes. We've made it about old songs or new songs.

Speaker 2: 38:47

We've made it about old songs or new songs, this genre of music or this style of music or the other style of music, and really it's just a sacrifice of praise to God.

Speaker 3: 39:06

I may not like the style, but I love the Lord. I may not like the beat or the sound, but I love Jesus and that is all that matters, and because of that, I don't care what kind of song it is. I have felt God and worshiped God in songs that aren't even in my language. I didn't know exactly what they were saying, but I knew who they were singing about.

Speaker 2: 40:09

And he's been so good to me.

Speaker 3: 40:12

I can't help but praise him. I can't help but worship him. Now this next part. I just want to get a little more practical, because there may be people watching who are involved in praise and worship in their church. And I always like to say this because biblically, there has to be order. God is a God of order, and so in our praise and worship, in our music, there must be Sorry, so we must have order in music, in worship and in praise we have to know what we're doing, how we're doing it, who's in?

Speaker 2: 41:17

charge.

Speaker 3: 41:22

It cannot be how we say. It cannot be a free for all, Because God loves order. God has always had a plan and he loves it when we have a plan too. I tell my team all the time when God wants to come in here and mess up our service, and mess up our service when he wants to come in and get us off the schedule, that's God's business. But we're going to have a schedule. We're going to have a plan for God to mess up.

Speaker 2: 42:35

One time at a music conference, they asked me to teach a lesson About getting out of the box in our worship service.

Speaker 3: 42:52

My first point was this Get a box. You can't get out of the box.

Speaker 2: 43:08

You don't have a box.

Speaker 3: 43:14

Have a plan, let's do it right.

Speaker 2: 43:25

I always like to remind people of this because I think we forget it.

Speaker 3: 43:29

David had 4,000 musicians. David had 4,000 musicians plus 4,000 porters. The porters assisted in the worship, so David had an 8,000. David had an 8,000 member prayer team. Had an 8,000 member worship team. So if David came into my church Sunday, he would say this ain't gonna cut it, not for my God. We gotta do better than this. So the people who may say, oh, y'all are doing too much, we're not doing enough, we have to step into a biblical understanding of praise and worship unto our God.

Speaker 2: 45:14

Vi må få en bibelsk forstand på vad allt dette drejer sig om.

Speaker 3: 45:18

We need a plan. En plan ja.

Speaker 2: 45:21

Ja, vi trenger program.

Speaker 3: 45:24

We need people who know their role.

Speaker 2: 45:26

Og vi må ha folk som vet hvilken rolle de har.

Speaker 3: 45:31

And we need to flow in the way that God has prepared this Now. Brother Robinette, I don't know if you guys like to take questions at this time. I'm just watching my time. I don't want to go too long. Take questions at this time, or I'm just watching my time. I don't want to go too long.

Speaker 2: 45:57

I want to make sure I'm in the flow and the function of what you guys do here. I just want to ask Robinette if we have any questions or if we have to keep time or whatever. I just want to ask if there's anything he wants to say for the chavis.

Speaker 1: 46:10

We have found that because we have multiple languages going on in the background, it becomes a great difficulty to effectively facilitate any q a.

Speaker 3: 46:20

It just becomes a nightmare absolutely, I, I, I totally understand. Well, when is my time? I want to be respectful.

Speaker 1: 46:40

We normally end at it's a one hour session and normally, you know, whatever the pastor feels to do, I mean frequently they'll pray over the viewers and then they turn it to do. I mean frequently they'll pray over the the viewers and and then they turn it to me.

Speaker 3: 46:54

So whenever you're, whenever you feel like it's time, yeah, okay, well, I'll just I'll, I'll try to wrap this up and then, and then we'll pray together. So in my final statements here about praise and worship in the church, I want to encourage us as apostolic leaders to cultivate a go ahead To cultivate a go ahead. Cultivate an apostolic atmosphere of worship, a biblical form of worship.

Speaker 2: 48:05

This will change the landscape of our services and even our personal time. With God Forandrer hele det åndelige landskapet, også for oss selv.

Speaker 3: 48:15

Because God has a way that he likes to be approached.

Speaker 2: 48:19

For han har en vei, han liker å bli møtt med.

Speaker 3: 48:24

And when we get the approach to him right så når vi bemøter han på det rette vis everything changes. Everything in your services will change. It doesn't have to be perfect when we speak about praise and worship, and we speak about perfection when we speak about praise and worship, and we speak about perfection we're talking about the sound, the music, the skill and musicianship and musicianship but what God is talking about has more to do with the heart and the mind and being in line with his word it may not sound great and being in line, with his word.

Speaker 2: 49:37

It may not sound great.

Speaker 3: 49:41

But if God loves it.

Speaker 2: 49:45

It changes everything.

Speaker 3: 49:48

The gentleman. There's two gentlemen in my life that really taught me how to be a praise and worship leader. I love them both and they are phenomenal, but neither one of them could sing. They were not good singers, they were unbelievable worship leaders. They were in my church and I watched them growing up and if you've ever seen me lead worship before, I learned that from these two men. They could not sing to save their lives, but they could get the glory of God in a room.

Speaker 2: 51:09

The atmosphere would shift. That, the atmosphere would shift. They just had a way of approaching God. It broke all the chains in the room and I'm glad that God allowed me to be in that kind of atmosphere. At a very young age I realized it's not about the sound.

Speaker 3: 51:51

It's not about the sound, it's not about the talent. It is about connecting with God. In a biblical way that changes the entire atmosphere, and that's what I pray for you today.

Speaker 2: 52:13

That's what.

Speaker 3: 52:15

I pray for your church and your ministry, that God would shift the atmosphere in your church and in your personal life.

Speaker 2: 52:34

Amen Amen.

Speaker 3: 52:41

Let's pray together. I would love to pray.

Speaker 2: 52:45

Let's pray.

Speaker 3: 52:47

Lord, I thank you so much for this amazing group of apostolic mentors. God, god, I pray that you would just do something. On the inside of us today, god, that praise and that worship is our connection to you. It is heavenly, it is so unique. Music is your way, your form of connection to you outside of prayer.

Speaker 3: 53:15

And, god, I just pray that each and every one of us would get that connection, that praise, that worship, God, that atmosphere that breaks every chain, that tears down the stronghold, that evacuates the enemy, that changes our mind, changes our hearts, changes our life. God, I pray that we would enter into a time of worship, god, that would cancel the assignment of the enemy, that would shift every broken heart, change every broken mind. God, I pray that there would be healing, there would be miracles, there would be signs, there would be wonders, even in our worship services, god, in our worship services, god, I pray that every mind would be changed, every heart would be mended. God, I pray, god, that you would open the windows of heaven, that you would break every chain. In those moments, oh God, like only you can do, god, when we lift up your name through praise and through worship, you inhabit that place, you change the atmosphere. Everything changes when you come into the room.

Speaker 3: 54:18

So, god, I pray you would just help us connect to that thing. God, help us connect to that praise and that worship, that biblical form of praise and worship that shifts the atmosphere and changes everything around us. And I pray it in the name that is above every name, god, we praise you now. God, you are wonderful, you are mighty. We lift you up. God, we worship you, we praise you. You are Adonai Elohim El.

Speaker 2: 54:44

Shaddai, you are the ruler of all creation. O God.

Speaker 3: 54:46

Your name is worthy to be praised. Your name is worthy to be praised. Your name is worthy to be lifted up. You are good, and you are good all the time. Now we praise you when we magnify you in jesus name, in jesus name in jesus.

Speaker 1: 55:03

Amen, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise god. Thank you Jesus. Position us God, god, open our understanding. God, we worship you, jesus.

Speaker 3: 55:37

We worship you, Jesus.

Speaker 1: 55:38

Praise God, we worship you Lord.

Speaker 3: 55:41

We worship you, Lord, we worship you.

Speaker 1: 55:43

Lord, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, in Jesus' name, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you God can do anything. God can do anything. He can do anything anywhere, at any time.

Speaker 2: 56:06

But I'm going to tell you something.

Speaker 1: 56:09

He does it a lot easier when there's the right biblical praise and worship that precedes the word. I have been literally all over the world and where there is this biblical praise and worship that fills the atmosphere, you almost cannot. I mean it's like breakthrough instantly. But when you're in a place that does not have an activation of biblical praise and worship, it is so difficult to accomplish kingdom purpose.

Speaker 2: 57:17

It's almost as if it is the separator between addition and multiplication.

Speaker 1: 57:26

I've seen good things in a terrible praise environment, but I've seen great things, when God is, when there's that biblical praise and worship that precedes the word there is just nothing that can stop the kingdom.

Speaker 2: 57:56

Those are the kind of atmospheres I like to be in. Even a bad preacher sounds good after a good worship service. Absolutely. I really like it when there's good worship.

Speaker 1: 58:23

Oh, my goodness, what a word. Thank you, pastor.

Speaker 2: 58:30

Thank you for seeding our spirit with kingdom revelation and understanding.

Speaker 1: 58:39

You know, I remember in 2007. When we first went to the nation of Austria, and there was a great church. Det var en herlig menighet, but in our region back then, praise and worship wasn't really a primary component in the culture of our region.

Speaker 2: 59:05

Den kulturen de hadde, der den fick oss ikke til att ha den rette standarden på tilbedelsen I begynnelsen husker jeg.

Speaker 1: 59:13

This is not criticism. This is just a factual observation of where we were in our development as believers in the German-speaking nations. Of course, I had been raised in a church that was a very powerful praise and worship church, so we wanted to see a transformation in the praise and worship in Vienna, Austria, so that we could have dynamic demonstration.

Speaker 2: 59:50

Men det vi ønsket og bad om, det var, at vi skulle få en mäktig tilbehelse og pris I Vien I Østrike, for at det skulle bli en skikkelig utblåsning av ånden. I remember working so hard in those first few months to see a culture change in Vienna Og jeg bad om jeg jobbet hardt for att få den kulturen til å bli forandret indiana and there's people on this call today that are actually in the live zoom session that know what I'm saying is true it was hard work those first few months, robinette and I.

Speaker 1: 1:00:29

We were working so hard to bring about a worship and praise culture where God could do anything. I remember my elders called a meeting with me on a Sunday. They had organized a Sunday.

Speaker 2: 1:00:56

They had organized a plan.

Speaker 1: 1:00:58

They said Brother Robinette, they actually called me young pastor. They said young pastor. They said we can tell that you're not going to give up on this praise and worship thing. And they said we can tell that you're not going to give up on this praise and worship thing. And they said so here's what we're going to do. We're going to separate the church into four groups and each group will be allowed to worship on one Sunday.

Speaker 2: 1:01:32

And each group will be allowed to worship on one Sunday, they said, because if we all worship at the same time, the walls will fall down. They were talking about those natural Austrian building walls. But I saw spiritual revelation in that statement and I said elders, say that one more time.

Speaker 1: 1:02:20

And he said pastor.

Speaker 2: 1:02:21

We cannot all worship at the same time or the walls will come down. And he still didn't get it. And I said say it one more time and listen to yourself.

Speaker 1: 1:02:35

And when he said it, the third time, light bulbs spiritual light bulbs went off and he said now I understand.

Speaker 2: 1:02:54

And he tore up the team list and the next Sunday, everybody worshipped at the same time. And that was the beginning of breakthrough in the nation of Austria.

Speaker 1: 1:03:12

When we got a hold of biblical worship and biblical praise, it changed the atmosphere. And when the atmosphere changed, all of a sudden, harvest broke loose.

Speaker 2: 1:03:30

All of a sudden harvest broke loose, Og når atmosfären forandret sig, så kom innhøstning.

Speaker 1: 1:03:34

I'm going to tell you right now this lesson today is kingdom critical.

Speaker 2: 1:03:39

Dette er kritisk det vi har hört I dag. Worship and praise may not be a customary action in your natural culture. But it is the defining characteristic of the kingdom culture.

Speaker 1: 1:04:05

We are not American or Norwegian or Austrian. We have been born again of the water and of the spirit. We have come out of the water new creatures in Christ Jesus. Old things are passed away and, behold, all things are become new. I am a child of the king. I'm a part of a heavenly kingdom, and praise and worship brings the heavenly kingdom right into our midst.

Speaker 1: 1:04:55

And that's where miracles and signs and wonders and demonstration and harvest happen immediately. Friends, don't make excuses for the lack of praise and worship. Just change the culture, apply the kingdom culture and no matter what country you're in, you will have revival. Stop making excuses and just be biblical. God will do it.
