WORSHIP

Be not distressed says the Lord, be not discouraged, for the Lord knows His Bride - the Lord is calling them to worship and prayer. O the Bride, the Lord is calling for His children to worship.
We need to know worship – it is the act of prostrating oneself in utter abandonment, humility, consecration and obedience unto the Lord. It implies leaning towards the Lord, drawing closer to Him with all our strength and might. We need to again fall prostrate before Him in our daily lives, submitting to Him, yielding, yielding, and yielding - we need to bow and we need to search for Him.
From true worship flows all - from worship flows the hunger for the Lord, from worship flows obedience, submission, love, compassion and a heart aching for the lost and dying. The saints are called to worship, worship and worship - fall before Him, seek him, call Him, for He draws near to those who draw near to Him. In worship the Lord speaks, in worship the Lord moves in our Spirit and in worship the Lord reveals Himself.
In worship we lean towards Him and we are taught His principles, His laws, His ordinances, His statuettes, His constitution and His precepts
Worship has been distorted into a concept of noise, performance, showmanship and emotionalism. Big noise, big lights and big events catch not the attention of YHVH. A still humble heart, captivated by the beauty of the Father, is what stirs the heart of the Master. A heart moved by the lost and the broken and the hurting stirs the Father's heart. A heart seeking for man to know the beauty of salvation and the delivering power of truth stirs the Father's heart.
Only when the children return to the Father will they be taught how to worship in Spirit and Truth. True worship takes place before the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. For there, in that place of worship, the true bond of Father and son grows strong and spirits join and become complete.
True worship is the inward journey where the Father dwells in our Spirit. True worship is when we abandon all, not only in the Holy of Holies, but also in life to worship Him. In that silence, one's spirit is embraced by His Spirit and quickened. Indeed, the flesh profits none.
Our spirit is moved then not by words or manifestation, but by His mere presence.
It is not moved by needs, wants or desires, but by simply adoration.
Let us draw closer and look upon His face.
Worship Him for He is God.
