Do we truly understand the purpose of worship?

1. 01.24.10 I Am Global International Ministries What Is The Purpose of Worship? Do we truly understand the worship of God? Exodus 19-31 Exodus 20:1-6 “ God declares that He is jealous when we worship and serve things that were created, rather than the creator of everything, Him!.” “ Worship is only given to things that we love. Can we depend on those things when we need them like we can depend on God?” 1 Kings 18:18-46 Amos 5:20-24 “ Worship is adoration or homage (respect with virtue to God) “ Praise is applause (a shout) with an expression of approval.” John 4:23-24 Acts 2:1-4 “ True worshippers of God worship Him in Spirit and in Truth because God is Spirit.

2. “ Often our worship for God requires us to press through to give Him the adoration and homage He deserves.” “ The enemy thinks that he can prevent worship for God.” “ Speaking under the influence of the Holy Spirit (in tongues) in worship is often necessary to break through worship when the enemy thinks he can prevent it.” 1 Corinthians 14:2, 25 “ Similar to football, speaking in tongues is an audible. For instance, if you are the quarterback, the coach (Jesus) and offensive coordinator (God) have instructed you of what plays to execute against the defense (the enemy). Once at the line of scrimmage ready to execute your play, if you see that the defensive believes they have read your play or think they know what you are going to do; under the guidance of the Holy Spirit you have the authority to speak in tongues and change that play. The coach and offensive coordinator understand what you are doing, but the enemy has no understanding, so he will spend more time trying to figure out what you are doing and less time defending you.” “ All gifts of the Spirit manifest themselves in worship.”

3. 1 Corinthians 14:25 The secrets of his heart are laid bare; and so, falling on [his] face, he will worship God, declaring that God is among you in very Truth. Revelation 4:11 Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created. John 4:23-24 A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers. God is a Spirit (a Spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth (reality).
