True Worshippers of God

I believe God is calling forth the true worshippers of Christ in this hour.
He spoke the same word twice last Sunday about becoming the high priest he has called us to be and how else are we going to line up with the word of God, if we do not bow down and worship God seeking his face and not his hand.
I believe that’s why the prophets and high priest like Isaiah, David, and Elijah were so powerful because they were true worshippers, see when worship reaches the ears of God it forces God to move on our behalf and say what is that beautiful sound that sweet smelling fragrance that is reaching my kingdom.
Elijah wouldn’t have been able to shut up that heavens or send the fire if he wasn’t a true worshipper of God.
When worship comes forth the power of God is invited into that place of worship, God is not only looking for the worship to come back into his church but the evidence of worship which is the power and authority of God.
We cannot have power or authority if we have not been seeking the face and heart of God.
God is longing to manifest the fire and glory back in to our lives daily, but since we have been a suborn people we have refused to line up and be subject to God’s word.
We need to take heed to the words we speak when we say “Our Farther which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” Matthew 6:9-10. Because a lot of us in the Body of Christ have forgotten the power behind that Prayer; it’s more than just a Christian cliché what we are saying here is “lord it’s not my will but your will”. Making us summit to His move.
It won’t be until we realize that our way of thinking isn’t working that we can be free and deliverance can fall back into our places of worship.
Worshippers of Christ have realized that at the end of the Day it’s just me and God that they can cast the cares of the world on his shoulders and be free.
Worshippers don’t question how it’s going to happen or how they’re going to get out of a situation, they fall down on their knees and cry out unto God and allow him to move things around.
Because when you worship it is deep crying out to deep, and when God comes forth to find you and your state of brokenness he speaks, gives direction, and heals every open wound.
Sometimes it’s a blessing to slow things down and look around because when you look around you see you’re lost but when you allow God to shroud you in His Glory and you become subject to His move, the blinders are lifted…now you can see the road you must take. In Psalms 138:7-8 it says, “though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.”
This is the wonderfully thing about being a worshipper of Christ, when you worship you get a chance to see each and every time God has kept you in His arms and how He has been perfecting the things around you to bless you.
This year for the youth of God will be like no other, we will worship Christ, and seek wisdom and because of that we will be able to summit under the leadership of our leaders and flow according to the vision that God has put us under; which in return we will allow us to flow together in unity with no strife, envy, back biting, or any other filthy thing because our worth will be restored and cherished, this is a time of worship.
Someone may be asking the question….How do I become a true worshipper of Christ?
The bible says in John 4:23-24 that
23But 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.
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
True – Being in accordance with the actual state or conditions; conforming to reality or fact, conforming to or consistent with a standard faithfully
Worshipper – a person who in reverence honors God
So if we use the definitions Webster’s provided us with a true worshipper is someone who worships not only in spirit and truth but in accordance with the actual state or conditions; conforming to reality; conforming to or consistent with a standard faithfully who in reverence honors God, meaning that the reality in Christ is that because He is therefore I am, because he is risen I am also.
That no matter what brother and sister rookie is doing I am going to do and be God has called me to be….Holy, Separated from worldly thinking according to His word. Worshipping him in all I do.
That my thinking, talking, and walking about may be elevated and fearful in God.
One may say I understand elevated but why fearful and it’s because in Psalms 89:7 it reads “God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about Him.” Reverence in the scripture according to Hebrew translations also means feared or fearful of. So if we go back to our definition of a true worshipper we will also see reverence.
So when we worship we also must be in fear of the power and authority of God. That I will no longer think well if this or if that ……but I am just going to be what he wants me to be and say yes Lord.
See Worshippers don’t see the worlds reality they see the reality that Christ has made….That just because I am at this state right now doesn’t mean God has forsaken me…He’s just preparing for what is to come and when I summit to His will He will reveal what he is doing in my life.
In John 4:23 it say,
23But 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.
As we go further into the word true in the Hebrew it means to kindle, to heat…. I started off saying that God is calling forth the true worshippers of Christ….
God has sent us the Body of Christ correction, rebuke, and order and when He does that it comes like fire. And one of the purposes of fire is to purify. So worshippers have to be kindle that they may go deeper into the word of God…deeper in seeking the face God, Because God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must do it in spirit and truth to do anything in spirit and true there has to be a kindling fire so that thing may come out pure taking away the infirmities and impurities of old.
But now the heat has been turned up that our worship may be pure and the power and authority of God will be able to enter back into the kingdom of God. His Church
