I am one that goes into a church service
and when the music starts I begin to worship. I mean really worship. I sing the
songs. I may lift my hands. I may have tears in my eyes. I may just stand there
with my eyes closed. But whatever I am doing, I am focused on Him. I totally
block out everything around me and focus on God. I totally immerse myself
in Him, in the music, in the words being sung. If you look at me, I probably
look silly. I don't know what I look like, and you know what? I really don't care!
Sometimes, I even get frozen in place.
The Lord is so amazing to me. While in worship,
He will speak to me. He will show me things. He will take me places. I am not
kidding!!! It is such an incredible time. I think I get this from my grandmother.
God talked to her the same way. She taught me from a very little girl about
God. We would sing to Him and just sit and be quiet and listen.
I have to tell you about a recent day in
worship.
On this day, I could see thousands of angels
worshiping before the throne and it sounded like a roar. I could literally see
and hear this as if it was right before my eyes!
The Lord said to me do not fear the roar. Do not
be afraid, for it is my Glorifying presence coming forth.
Ok Lord, I am not afraid! Let your Glorifying
presence come forth! I'm not exactly sure what that entails, however I'm sure I
need it! We all need it!!!!!!
I feel the need to tell you there is a strong
urgency to get into His presence through worship.
Do what? You might say...
I don't know how, I don't know why? And I surely
don't want to hear sounds... Are you kidding??? Worship?
But why should I worship, you might ask
yourself? I'm fine with just sitting down listening to the music.
The book of John tells us...
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the
true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is
seeking such to worship Him. John 4:23 NKJV
You see, He created us to worship Him in a
unique way. True worship must be “in spirit,” which means engaging
your whole heart. Unless there’s a real passion for God, there is no worship in
spirit.
Also, worship must be “in truth,” which means to
be properly informed. We have knowledge of the God we worship or there is no
worship in truth.
That is why we look to the Word of God. We must
know what the Word tells us about worship and who we are in Christ.
The book of Psalms tells us...
Come, let us bow down in worship, let
us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our
God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his
care. Today, if only you would hear his voice, Psalm 95: 6-9
God calls us to worship. He calls to us and
invites us to come and worship Him.
Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 29:2NKJV
Everything and everyone in heaven even worships
Him. Look at Revelations...
When He had taken the book, the four living
creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one
holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the
saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book
and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood
men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. "You have made them
to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the
earth." Revelation 5:8-14
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many
angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the
number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with
a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and
riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." Revelation
5:11-12
And a voice came from the throne, saying,
"Give praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the
small and the great." Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude
and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of
thunder, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.
"Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of
the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." Revelation
19:5-7
God doesn’t need our worship, but He delights in
our worship because He is worthy of it and our worship demonstrates our
acknowledgement of who God really is.
There is no wrong way to worship him. There is
no place you can't worship Him. Just do not fear. Just do not be afraid. The
Bible tells us numerous times not to fear!
I call out to Him from deep within my soul. You
can too.
Listen to this Song Deep
Calling Deep It's one of my favorites.
I pray you find yourself in worship in a brand new way. I pray that you begin to worship Him in spirit and in truth. I pray that all fear be removed. I pray that His Glorifying presence touches all of our lives.
Amen!
