Dear Friends
But
the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him
in spirit and in truth. John 4:23-24
What
a privilege and honour to worship
God. Have you ever stopped to think about it. Even the very
desire to worship God comes from Him. He made you and He has
opened the 'eyes of your spiritual understanding' to know
Him. I remember back to our courting days, how we would often
comment on our plans for the future and refer to the times
we shared together and our prospective future together, as
an adventure. An
adventure is defined in
the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary as:
'unusual, exciting or dangerous experience or undertaking,
taking risks'
Has
your worship lifestyle become
monotonous, predictable or religious when Father desires it
to be like an adventure. We will never discover everything
there is to know about Him, so we can be sure that He will
reveal something new to us. If we will approach Him with joy
and anticipation, with thanksgiving and an open heart He will
meet with us and show us more of Himself. It can feel like
we are taking a risk, embarking on dangerous territory, it
may seem unusual as we depart from the normal duty and get
seious about our love for God.
God
wants to be known and the Scripture
shows us that He is infact seeking worshippers. He is on the
look out for those who are willing to be real before Him and
who believe in Him. But
without faith it is impossible
to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that
he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
him. Heb 11:6
One
of the hallmarks of the end time
worshipping Bride will be passion. Passion that displays itself
in wholehearted devotion, that which settles for nothing less
than reality. Those who worship God must do so in spirit and
truth, holding nothing back and ready to forsake all for Him.
It is in this act of self-giving that we actually find our
true selves. We see ourselves for who we really are and then
we are able to see Jesus for who He really is - our all sufficient
Saviour.
Be
encouraged and
inspired today by the precious Holy Spirit to lead you to
a deeper and more intimate knowledge and experience of Father.
With every blessing
