THE NEED FOR WORSHIP 05/23/2010
The Need For Worship We need true worship to connect with Heaven. We need worship to hear clearly from God. Worship will shut out all the other voices in our minds. Either God will speak or we will have silence and peace. Psalm 29 We need the powerful voice of our Lord. The kind of worship that we are used to will not bring the change that we need. Matthew 15:8-9 A pure worship is a form of communion. We worship by faith and honor through a laying down of our lives. This is how we get the attention of our Lord. We cannot worship Him with a form of Godliness, it must be through spirit and truth. John 4:23-24 From the hour our Lord died the true worshipping started. After Jesus’ death the disciple’s love for Him was stronger. This is when true worship started, when they realized who He was and what all He had done for them, and most of all how much He loved them. 2 Samuel 22:1-4 David called on the Lord who is worthy to be praised. Our God is worthy of all our praises. Look at what the Lord has done. He could do so much more in our lives if we would praise Him all the way through to breakthrough. Joshua 5:13-15 God appeared to Joshua as the captain of the Lord of hosts. Our worship could be in the place that we would see Him and that we could hear His voice. God is the only one who says remove your shoes you’re standing on holy ground. Very few times have we experienced His presence like this. Our worship should come to this degree every time we come together. In pure worship we discover that we’re not alone and that He is who He says He is. Do you want to hear God say, “Remove your shoes, you’re standing on holy ground”? Hebrews 11:4 Abel’s offering came through his faith in God. How can you worship someone in which your faith is not really in? Is your faith in God or in yourself? We cannot please God without faith, so how can we truly worship Him? 1 Chronicles 16:23-29 We have to get into His presence and then stay in it until He reveals Himself. There is glory and honor for Him. We need to bring an offering of praise, not a work like Cain did. We need an offering of pure worship worthy of our Lord. The word says to worship in the beauty of holiness. This is the holy of holies, this is the place where we cannot just quit. When we get to this place of worship this is where God deals with our hearts. This is where we are broken and humbled before our Lord. This is where we wait on Him. This is where we hear from Him. This is the throne room. Isaiah 6:1-5 Our praise and worship together should usher us into the holy of holies. Together we can create an atmosphere of worship fro our King. You can’t see him, but He is high and lifted up. We can come boldly to the throne of grace by His Spirit. We waste too much time just singing songs instead of singing to Him. His train, which is His glory, fills the temple. His glory is in us, there is no reason good enough as to why we cannot go into worship like this. We need this people! We need His holy presence. We need just one touch of His glory to be changed forever. It’s worth waiting for. How will we know that we are undone without it? There are changes that will need to take place. We need everyone’s cooperation. There needs to be a reverence when the Holy Spirit is moving, and a willingness to wait on the Lord’s presence. How can we cut off His presence? CommentsLeave a Reply |
