True Worship
Romans 12:1 TPT
Genuine worship is when we live a life pleasing to God.
It's not merely words spoken with music notes playing in the background. It's not a performance nor a record label. Rather it is sincere adoration toward God, that is displayed through action. Surrendering to God by volunteering your life, to become all who God called you to be. It is a heart posture of reverence and honor towards God for all He is, all He's done, and forever He will be. True worship starts by what you look at, what you behold (focus on). Idolatry happens when we worship anything more than God. If you begin to behold God, Christ Jesus, His Word, the Holy Spirit, you open up your heart to Him, then we can worship God by adorning his goodness. God is all good. There is not one blemish in Him, therefore He is Holy!
"The Lord Most High is astonishing, awesome beyond words! He's the formidable and powerful King over all the Earth. [Psalm47:2]
"For God is the triumphant King; all the powers of the earth are his, so sing your celebration songs of highest praise to the glorious Enlightened One. [Psalms 47:7 TPT]
"There are so many reasons to describe God as wonderful! So many reasons to praise Him with unlimited praise! [Psalms 48:1 TPT]
"Lord, as we worship you in your temple, we recall over and over your kindness to us and your unending love."[Psalm 48:9]
Worship is not a time slot at church, it can happen the moment you open your eyes and wake up.
You can start by saying, "Thank you God for _________".
My worship often starts like this... "Thank you God for a new ay, thank you god for salvation. Thank you Jesus for your redemption, for saving me. Thank you, Jesus for the blood, thank you Jesus for the blood that was shed for me. Thank you God for reconciling me to yourself. Thank you for new life in Christ. You are worthy of my worship. You are worthy of my praise. You are worthy to proclaim. You are the King of kings, you are the Lord of Lord, there is no god like you, you are perfect in all your ways. Thank you for your love and forgiveness. You are faithful, you are kind, you are merciful. Thank you for your grace. Thank you for your promises for me are Yes and amen. Thank you for your Word. Thank you for your Holy-Spirit. You are my Lord, my King, you deserve all the glory. Let my life be worship to you.
Amen."
I pray you begin to allow your vision and meditation of your mind and heart to Behold the King.
In prayer.
At church.
In nature.
As your lying down.
As your driving.
Anywhere, Anytime!
Jesus said in,
John 4:23-24 " From now on, worshiping the Father will not matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in Truth."
