I'm About to TURN UP!

"My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad" - Psalm 34:2

Have you ever been through times so trying, so difficult, so excruciating, that you said something like "when I come out of this I'm gonna dance a jig"? How about being in the middle of the press, but knowing God had already ordained your exit strategy so you stopped, dropped and praised Him like it was nobody's business? Yes, some of you are no strangers to getting "TURNT UP"!

Don't get concerned, I haven't lost my spell check capabilities or slipped into an ebonics coma. But, if you spend any time around urban teens, you may have heard the phrase "I'm about turn up!" If you don't know what it means, let me explain in "grown folk" terminology. It means that it's time to celebrate without holding back or quieting down. It means to let loose and have a good time without worrying about who's watching or who's listening. And while the phrase "turnt up" may be a passing catch-all, the act of getting "turnt up" has been happening for centuries! And I'm about to TURN UP now! 

I can't help but to get '"turnt up" about the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient God that I serve! As David wrote in Psalm 34 when his life was spared yet again, "I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth"! The best part about Believers getting "turnt up" is that we don't need drugs to get high, we live the HIGH life 24/7 by the power of the Holy Spirit! Who needs alcoholic bubbly when we have the naba of the Holy Spirit bubbling up and overflowing? I can feel the joy of the Lord bursting through my soul! I'm about to TURN UP!

Let's not wait for the world to get quiet, let's show them how the Kingdom has been turning up for years! Come on and TURN UP your voice to tehillah (sing) and make it heard for the glory of the Lord! TURN UP your music and kara (dance) before God without caring if anybody else is dancing with you! TURN UP your praise and bless God even if you're still in the midst of your miracle! TURN UP your faith and SEE yourself set free! It's time for Believers everywhere to TURN UP! An explosion of celebration is about to hit your life and mine! I'm about to TURN UP! Will you TURN UP with me?
