TRUE WORSHIP - Heart of Worship

Woman entered ice cream please in Kansas City. After making her celebration she turned and saw Paul Newman who was filing Mr. & Mrs Bridge. He smiled and said hello. His blue eyes cause her knees to shake. She paid for her cone and left store heart pounding. When she gained her composure, she reapplied that she did not have her snack. Got to the store again and met him at the door. Are you looking for your ice cream? she nodded, unable to speak. You put it in your purse with your change. When was the last time the presence of God quickened your pulse?

We are called to WARFARE but created to WORSHIP!

Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” Isaiah 43:7

God has same right to worship as you have for your phone!

“Where is My honor?” Malachi 1:6

“Yours, O Lord is the greatness, the power and the glory” 1 Chronicles 29:11

“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor” Revelation 4:11

“Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory” Psalm 115:1

“I am the Lord; that is My name: and My glory I will not give to another” Isaiah 42:8

Withholding worship destroys us.

Hebrew word “kabad” means weight, heaviness, honor, glory. Worship is weight we are not created to carry. Those who took worship: Lucifer became Satan Isaiah 14:13 (No longer I live Paul said Galatians 2:20) Nabuchadnezzer became an animal Daniel 4 Herod got eaten by worms Acts 12:23 Those who knew God but did not worship Him became futile in mind and dark in heart Romans 1:21.

9 lepers Luke 17:18

Angel refused to get it Revelation 22:9

(God did not become God. He is I AM. Thanos - infinity stones)

We become what we behold.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18

To change what you’re becoming, change what you’re beholding!

“Long-Married Couples Do Look Alike, Study Finds”. Dr. Zajonc, a psychologist at the University of Michigan says, “…people often unconsciously mimic the facial expressions of their spouse in a silent empathy and…over the years sharing the same expressions shapes the face similarity.”

Idol worship. (worship something/someone other than God Psalm 115:8)

Idle worship. (worship with lips only Matthew 15:8)

Ideal worship. (worship in spirit and in truth John 4:24)

And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.” Genesis 22:5

Abraham was ready to give his son out of obedience, God gave His Son out of love.

God was not interested in taking Isaac out of Abraham’s life but taking Isaac out of Abraham’s heart.

Worship is not songs and music but obedience. Obedience is about approaching God on His terms.

In Christ we have justification Romans 3:24; no condemnation Romans 8:1; new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17; all spiritual blessings Ephesians 1:3; meeting of all needs Philippians 4:7

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32

God didn’t to just save Abraham’s son, He blessed His life.

And said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” Genesis 22:16-18

Worship is obedience, obedience is coming to God through Christ.

Christ is not just a door, He is wear-house.

As I travel through Christ, I take what I need!

Sickness is not Gods will the same way sin is not God’s will.

God did not give permission to the devil.

Jesus healed oppressed by devil.

Heal the sick, not pray for the sick.

Abraham offered a ram, Israel ate it!
