“Some of us add our own stipulations in worship. Some people worship and open their eyes an peak around. Some people worship and are uncomfortable because they think everybody is looking at them. They are worried about if their mascara is going to run or if they 're going to look ugly. But why are you concerned about who's looking you? This is not worshiping in spirit and in truth. When you do this you take the authority from Christ and give it to yourself. If you have to scream, scream, if you have to holler, holler, but if you are in worship and you are thinking about the game afterwards, what you want to eat, what you have to do afterwards, then you are not worshipping in spirit and in truth.”

1. Understanding Worship
“A lot of people are believing that they are delivered just because they have
stopped doing something. "That’s not Me. I didn’t do that." You know how
people say they stop something cold turkey. If you stop cold turkey, you
later may give God the glory, but you will initially get the credit. When you
go to God boldly, stop trying to stop the issue, recognize it when it comes
and apply the word to it.”
“A lot of people think that God has delivered them from stuff that they still
want. They didn’t show God that they no longer wanted it. It’s at the point
that you’re powerless when God can take it from you. That’s why the same
issues keep coming back because you don’t show God that you don’t want
it. Say for instance you want to come off of sweets and you vision of sweets
is cake and ice cream and candy but the next thing you go to is sugar free
gum. You believe you are delivered but you are using something else as a
substitute. When God delivers you don’t need a substitute.”
“You cannot say you’re a Christian and you don’t know the word of God or
obey the word of God. You have to know it to obey it. You cannot be
Christian and have no faith because without faith it’s impossible to please
God.”

2. “A lot of times people are in situations when they think that it's God and it’s
not. People think that God has given them gifts, but it’s not for you, but the
people you are connected to.”
Worship:
“A lot of people time church. If you time it, it’s not in spirit and in truth. If you
pastor has to be at the east, south, west and north in one hour
increments, it’s no way that it’s in spirit and in truth so your pastor is
causing you to sin.”
“When you need certain music to worship, you are not worshiping in spirit
and in truth.”
“When people say the sermons are too long or that people preach too long,
you are not worshipping in spirit and in truth. If you hear people say that they
love going to a church because the pastor preaches for 20 minutes and then
lets you go, run.”
“If you don’t want to be told anything about yourself, you are not worshiping
in spirit and in truth. You are worshiping in another spirit and a lie.”

3. “Some of us add our own stipulations in worship. Some people worship and
open their eyes an peak around. Some people worship and are
uncomfortable because they think everybody is looking at them. They are
worried about if their mascara is going to run or if they 're going to look ugly.
But why are you concerned about who's looking you? This is not worshiping
in spirit and in truth. When you do this you take the authority from Christ and
give it to yourself. If you have to scream, scream, if you have to holler, holler,
but if you are in worship and you are thinking about the game afterwards,
what you want to eat, what you have to do afterwards, then you are not
worshipping in spirit and in truth.”
If you didn’t have a tongue how would you worship God:
“You worship God in your heart, not from dancing or rolling all over the floor
because anybody can do that (Satan can do that.)”
“God knew Satan would come in and start his own churches and make
people think this was a form of worship. That’s why He said, "When the time
comes I will pour out my spirit on all men." People think they have to worship
a certain way because they have seen people act a certain way.”
Isaiah 1:12-17 – “This is how He feels about our worship when we’re not
doing right. People jump up and down for an hour or two and it means
nothing.”

4. “It’s just like a relationship. How would you feel if your husband or wife
cheated and came home and said I love you? It's worthless and meaningless.
The first thing you would say is if you love me you wouldn’t have cheated on
me. God is saying the same thing, "If you love Me and you want to worship Me
in spirit and in truth, the worship starts before you get in the tabernacle. But
you just have an expression of it when you lift your hands up, but we hear you
are living otherwise, did you practice that?”
“God looks at worship service differently than we do because He reads the
heart.”
“Worship is not something that we do because worship does not deal with
what we make our bodies do. If God is not in your heart you’re making your
body do that on your own.”
“Worship should consist of who we are. We should be worship.”
“The fact that people pray five times a day means nothing to God if your heart
is not in it...it’s just a ritual.”
“Worship comes from the old English word meaning "to ascribe or value".
What is His value? You can be talking to someone and your spirit worship
God. It’s spirit to spirit.”

5. “When God said I will pour out My Spirit He was not talking about everybody
but His believers. God will not pour out His Spirit out on sinners. If His
believer is in the club, he will pour out His spirit no matter where you are.
They’re going to identify and say, “Wow, I don’t have any business here, but
it’s not my time to stop.”
“True worship is an attribute word. How much does God mean to you? Why do
you have to do something to show God how much He means to you? Get to
the point of saying “God I’m not going to lie because I know it will hurt you,
God I’m not going to look at that woman because it’s going to hurt You. He
said I already loved you so love Me back. Put something in the relationship
and it will become fun.”
“Spark your relationship with God. God wants you to give up something. Give
it up to the Lord. People sit back and ask God what’s their purpose but He
said, “I’m going to show you your purpose but do for Me. Don’t worry about
the purpose.” Love never ends. You can find a new way to love God. "Ok God,
this way of loving you is getting boring, let’s try something new because if I
don’t somebody else will come and romance me from You until you send me
You.”
“If you are telling Jesus you love Him, your actions are with Him. But your
heart is somewhere else, it’s not in spirit and in truth.”

6. True Worship:
“True worship is to attribute worth to a real being.”
“You cannot give true worship to a false being. True worship can only be given to a
real being.”
“A true being is one who is really there and somebody truly worth it.”
False Worship:
“False worship is to attribute worth to an illusion. When you are doing worship and
you are not living right and your hands are, that’s an illusion of a true God. You
recognize that there is a God, but you are not worshiping the true God.”
“A lot of people can express the truth negatively. You can have truth but express it
the wrong way that’s not received as a truth. If you are negative, you can bring
falseness to the truth because of how you handle it.”
“Worship must not be mechanical, phony or put on. We’re not to go through
motions or emotions.”
“Standing, kneeling or praying, without these actions reflecting your heart. What
you are thinking or being is unacceptable to God. Say for instance you come to
service lay in the floor and bow and that’s your way of worshiping. Then you sit in
His presence and don’t bow when He speaks on Monday when something happens

7. Monday this is how you make a mockery of Him. Then you are a hypocrite,
idol worshipper and making a mockery of Him.”
“If you recite words that you do not mean when you worship, you are making
a mockery of God.”
“If you are a true worshiper, you will worship through anything and bounce
back to the word in spite of what you are going through.”
John 4:1-26
“The reason why God helped the woman at the well was because she spoke
in spirit and in truth. She told the truth when Jesus questioned her. She
recognized His spirit so she had to speak in truth. Most peoples’ problem is
you don’t recognize Jesus when He comes.”
“If something is not coming from your heart Jesus doesn’t want it anyway.”
“Just because you were taken out of something doesn’t mean that you follow
what you’re out of, you’re supposed to stay in the flow of the tabernacle.”
“Some of us have to get to a place where your house, car, and job mean
nothing to you. Where these things are just a means to do what you need to
do for the Kingdom. But don’t lie to yourself. If you’re not doing it for yourself

8. you should be able to give more to the kingdom. But if you are giving less to
the kingdom than it was all for you and that’s why His hands are not on it.”
“If you are believing God for something and it’s not happening it’s because
God knows your heart and He knows you haven’t changed so He’s not gonna
move on your behalf. He’ll give you a little bit because He keeps His
promises, but you won’t have His blessings. He said, "I will supply all your
needs, but you don’t have My blessing on that.”
Types of Worship:
True Worship:
John 4:20-24
“True worship is being mature.
Being Sat Down:
“Being sat down is so you can be filled and lifted back up. Not for you to take
it personal and think you don’t have anything to do and it’s a good place. If
you are doing everything contrary to the word when you are sat down it
defeats the purpose. Some people ask "what’s wrong with me" when they are
sat down, but the fact that you asked what’s wrong with me is the reason why
you’re sat down.”

9. “When you believe God for something and stuff isn’t going right, you have to
ask God what’s wrong with you. Something is wrong with you because God
is always able to do what you are asking Him to do.”
“The truth cuts, it doesn’t leave bruises. The bruise comes after the cut, not
before and that’s some people’s problem.”
Vain Worship:
Matthew 15:7-9
“This worship is the result of following the traditions of man and ignoring the
commands of God on a particular subject. Tradition is handed down gospel
that had knowledge and no revelation.”
“Another type of vain worship is when worship does not come from the
heart. If you confess what’s in your heart then worship Him that’s fine, but
the problem is a lot of people are in denial about what’s in their heart and
these are treasures that God has already brought forth but you must deal
with them. Vain worship that does not come from the heart does not apply to
those who confess their sins to Him.”
“When you condition your heart, you are making room for God to do what He
needs to do so He can use you.”

10. Worshipping out of Emotions:
“This is pretending that you feel something when you don’t.”
Ignorant Worship:
Acts 17:22-23
“When you’re not worshipping in spirit and in truth, you’re worshiping and
unknown god and you don’t even know what you’re worshiping.”
“This worship is offered in the absence of knowledge of God concerning
who He is and how He is to be worshipped.”
“If you don’t know who God is how can you worship Him?”
Will or self-imposed worship:
“This is closely aligned with vain worship and is a result of doing what we
like and what we think is good. It is more concerned about how we look in
front of men. You don’t know who God is and don’t have his heart to
worship Him, so you copy how you think He is supposed to be worshiped.”
Colossians 2:20-23
“It should be evident that any type of worship isn’t acceptable to God.”
