1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Welcome to Twelve24, a Ministry of Worship Transforms. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,400 We want to empower you to live your best life through biblical inspiration and through 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,080 connecting with Jesus in at least 12 minutes of meditative worship. 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120 Alright, why 12 minutes you ask? 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:23,620 Well because research shows that meditating on a good God for at least 12 minutes has 6 00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:28,040 the ability to form new neural pathways in your brain. 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:34,840 That just means new ways of thinking that align with the one you're meditating on. 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,480 And then if we combine that with another activity that has the ability to form neural pathways 9 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:46,200 in our brain like music, well it helps to make those pathways stickier or more entrenched 10 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,840 so they're more likely to stay around and not just disappear. 11 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,960 It's like accelerating the transformation that God is already doing in your lives as 12 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,480 we partner with Him. 13 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,480 Hey, don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel. 14 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,360 We don't want you to miss out on any of these videos as you partner with God for His transformation 15 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,960 in your life. 16 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:10,840 How many of you like to visit model homes? 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,840 I know I do. 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,480 It's so fun to see the new trends and to see everything looking so perfect and the home 19 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,960 is always so beautiful. 20 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:27,040 But there's something different about visiting a model home and living in one or living in 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,560 a model home and then remodeling your house. 22 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,840 That was something actually we did and it took about eight months. 23 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,560 We took the house down to the studs and when that was finished it looked pretty shiny and 24 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,720 new and it was until we lived in it. 25 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,560 And now you can see evidence of us living in it and now two and a half years later it 26 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,000 doesn't look quite as shiny and new and you can see evidence of the Amazon package that 27 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,520 maybe got left on the counter or our daughter's homework or maybe the sourdough bread that's 28 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,280 in the container on the counter and maybe a little dirt in the corners. 29 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,760 But it's lived in and we love it. 30 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,680 It's our home. 31 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:17,480 But when so it's kind of like when we read the word it's like a little bit like visiting 32 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,480 a model home. 33 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,400 I mean it looks really perfect. 34 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,400 It's great. 35 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:27,160 There's so much wisdom and truth and the ability to change our lives. 36 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,200 But really for the word to have the effect that it's intended to have we need to dwell 37 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,200 in it. 38 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,200 We need to meditate on it. 39 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,240 We need to really live in the word. 40 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:52,640 Colossians 316 says this, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing 41 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:59,080 one another in all wisdom singing songs, hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your 42 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,600 hearts to God. 43 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Isn't that interesting? 44 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,160 I'm going to read the first part of that again. 45 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,000 This is again Colossians 316. 46 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,280 It's let the word of Christ richly dwell in you. 47 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,160 And then the whole thing after that is the way that we let it richly dwell. 48 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,000 It's the modifiers if you will. 49 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,280 The way that we let the word richly dwell in us, this is the key, don't miss this, is 50 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,920 by singing songs, by singing hymns, by singing songs. 51 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,720 Those are three actually distinct things. 52 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,360 By doing that, we are allowing the word to get in us. 53 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:49,000 We are letting it richly dwell in us and we are dwelling in the word. 54 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,720 And then it has the ability to transform us, to change the way we think. 55 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,040 It's so important in doing that, different than when we just read, because music has 56 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,160 a way of attaching to our emotions. 57 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,840 I was at a concert recently and the music was so beautiful and it often brought me to 58 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,840 tears. 59 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,920 I just can't help it. 60 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760 It touches this place deep within in our emotions. 61 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:24,680 So when we connect the word to music and then in worship with God, it connects to our emotions 62 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,200 and it's so important that we do that because we need the word to touch all those hidden 63 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,840 places in our lives, all those hidden places in our hearts that we may not have even been 64 00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:44,200 aware of, that needed healing, that needed attention, that needed the touch of Jesus. 65 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,360 I have a dear loved one who's going through dementia right now and it's a brutal disease. 66 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,680 I'm sorry for any of you who have loved ones going through that. 67 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:02,880 But it's been really interesting, this particular facet, because there's really no memory there 68 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:11,320 anymore, certainly no short term, and just a few key memories remain mostly from growing 69 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,120 up or a few loved ones. 70 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,400 But if something happens, if there's an event that happens that causes anxiety, like intense 71 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:29,920 anxiety or maybe anger or humor, there's a lot of laughter, then that particular memory 72 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:37,080 seems to stay around because see our emotions hit this part of our brain called the amygdala. 73 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:44,520 And the amygdala is what's responsible or plays a large part in forming memories, emotions 74 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,320 attached with our memories. 75 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,760 So when we connect the word of God with our emotions, well it has the ability to stay 76 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,320 with us. 77 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:01,560 As we hide His word in our heart, it remains with us, especially when we let it connect 78 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,080 with the emotional part of who we are. 79 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:16,520 So as we look to let the word of God richly dwell in us, or as Psalms 27 verse 4, David, 80 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,520 who talked about wanting to dwell in the house of God, when we think about the word 81 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:29,440 of God being His house, in a sense what really John in the first chapter talks about Jesus 82 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,960 being the word, right? 83 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,600 He was word in the flesh. 84 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:43,840 And we understand that when we dwell in that place, dwelling in His house, that that word 85 00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:48,560 gets in us and we dwell in the word. 86 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,240 And so as we begin to worship, I want to make sure we don't miss this, that we're not just 87 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400 hearing dead words, right? 88 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,840 We're not just focusing on dead words. 89 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,440 This is the word of God. 90 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,960 This is Him manifested. 91 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,800 But also there is a personal word that He wants to speak to you in this. 92 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,760 And we're going to be able to hear His voice a little clearer. 93 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:20,480 And there's an individual message that He has for you today as we dwell and we rest in 94 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,480 Him. 95 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:32,880 Jesus, we're so thankful that we have the opportunity to be with you. 96 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:45,560 So we approach our time today, would you bring us into your heart? 97 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:52,800 Your word, you are the word. 98 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,680 May it richly dwell within us. 99 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:05,680 May your voice richly dwell within us. 100 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:37,680 The word became flesh. 101 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:48,680 What was written came to life. 102 00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:59,680 The word has a name. 103 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:09,680 Our Messiah dwells among us. 104 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:17,680 Jesus. 105 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:24,680 Jesus. 106 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:37,680 Jesus, living Word. 107 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:45,680 Jesus. 108 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:50,680 Jesus. 109 00:09:50,680 --> 00:10:19,680 Jesus, living Word. 110 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:37,680 The word became flesh. 111 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:49,680 What was written came to life. 112 00:10:49,680 --> 00:11:02,680 The word has a name. 113 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:15,680 Our sight came to save us. 114 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:22,680 Jesus. 115 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:28,680 Jesus. 116 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:40,680 Jesus, living Word. 117 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:46,680 Jesus. 118 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:52,680 Jesus. 119 00:11:52,680 -->
