Worship

 

 

 

 

 

When I feel the Holy Spirit on me, whether when I am praying or singing or listening to a sermon, many times, I can't stay in my skin I feel like! I want to shout from the roof tops!

 

 

 

Many people love going to football, soccer, basketball and baseball games.

 

 

Now, you can't tell me when your team scores, that you don't jump up and holler and act slightly crazy sometimes! I know I do! When you are overcome with happiness and joy, it's only normal and natural for you to want to shout, raise your hands and maybe even stomp your feet and run around a little!

 

 

 

 

We don't realize the holiness of God. At least I know I don't.

 

 

Do you know that the angels in Revelation 4 never cease to praise Him? It says "they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."

 

 

 

When is the last time you worshiped Him? I love to worship Him with other believers, such as a church service, but I believe for me personally, the best time to worship Him is in reverence and fear of the Creator of all, alone.

 

 

 

I have never thought a single thing about how other people worship. I used to wander why people raised their hands in a worship service until I got saved. And I couldn't help but raise my hands and reach for Heaven. I need and want more of Him. That is just how I worship. Alone or at church. Then you see some who never change their expression. That is fine if that's how they want to worship. Everyone does things differently, but I know for me, I can't contain what I feel on the inside many times.

 

 

 

I bow down when I pray at home. When I stand before God one day, I can't imagine standing. I will want to bow before him in awe and fear and wonder.

 

 

 

Too often though, we pray the same prayers and ask for the same things.

 

 

 

 

We don't take time to just praise Him for who He is. What He is. That He is.

 

 

 

 

Instead, we are too caught up in our problems, our goals, our dreams. We are too caught up in us.

 

 

 

I have been very guilty of this. So, I don't write this only for you.

 

 

 

 

ISIS. They do not worship God. They say they do. Or some "god," I suppose they are talking about. It isn't MY God though. If they do not repent and turn from their wicked ways and accept Jesus Christ as the Lord of their life, they will die and go to hell.

 

 

 

Now, the Bible says the same things about adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like...

 

 

Galations 5:21 ends with "they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

 

 

Did you read hatred? Idolatry? Fornication? Murders? Drunkenness? Witchcraft?

 

 

We are living right there, people. Look at the news. It's filled with these things. It's all around us.

 

 

Jesus warned that the way to hell is easy and many will find that path. The way to Heaven though, few will find it.

 

 

FEW WILL FIND IT.

Ask anyone, they will say they are a Christian 90% of the time. That can't be right, because 90% is not a few, that is many.

 

 

 

 

 

Read Romans if you are not a Christian. Study it. Read Romans 10:13.

 

Read John 3:16. Read Revelation 3:19.

 

 

 

Psalm 95:6 says "let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God;..."

 

 

 

Read John 1:12&13.

 

 

 

 

John says that we can have a personal relationship with Jesus by believing that he is God!

 

 

 

Face the evil that you have done. Admit that you cannot be God's unless Jesus takes away your dirtiness and makes you acceptable.

 

 

 

After admitting your need, you must next believe that Jesus is the one He said He was and accept Him as your ruler, your Lord.

 

 

 

When one man asked how to be saved, he heard the wonderful response, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved," in the book of Acts.

 

 

 

There is nothing else that anyone can do to be accepted by God. Read John 14:6.

 

 

 

 

 

It doesn't matter what you've done, Jesus is faithful to forgive you if you call upon Him.

You can't truly worship Him until you truly make Him Lord of your life. I feel Him inside of me. He is my everything and my all. He's my joy and peace.

 

 

 

 

Take time today to truly sit down and worship Him.

 

 

 

 

Don't say a lot if you don't want to.

 

 

 

Think about how big He is. In all His power and mightiness, He still chose to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross for your sins.

 

 

 

 

 

That is enough to worship Him for eternity.

 

 

 

 

 

However you chose to worship, do it in liberty and truth.

 

 

 

 

 

Don't let other people change your mind or opinions. Be led only by the Spirit. That is what I have tried to do my entire 9 years and 8 months of being saved. No matter the circumstance, I simply have tried to be led by Him.

 

 

 

 

 I remember once feeling so much in the Spirit that I was raising both hands, stomping my feet and then clapping my hands. It was during a song at the church I was saved at. I felt like I could have flown I felt so overwhelmed with God's goodness, joy and love for me!

 

 

 

 

 

I could write a list of "heavenly moments" I have experienced, alone and with others, but that isn't what I want to draw attention to.

 

 

 

 

 

I want you to come to a place where you can worship the Father in liberty and in truth and in fear of His holiness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pray. Seek. Worship. While He may be found!
