compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing

26.  TRUE WORSHIP HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEEL OR
EXPERIENCE THE ANOINTED PRESENCE OF GOD.
 AND MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE IN
YOUR DARKEST HOUR.
 IN THE DEPTH OF OUR SPIRIT WE CRY TO THE
SPIRIT GOD, “I BOW MY HEART AND LIFE
BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY, ACKNOWLEDGING HIS
SUPREME LORDSHIP” REGARDLESS OF NEGATIVE
CIRCUMSTANCES OR COMPLETE EMOTIONAL
TURMOIL”.
 THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL ESSENCE OF
WORSHIP.

woman (Jn 4:21-24) and exemplified by the known
Sinner who anointed Jesus’ feet (Lk 7:44)

always before me. Against you, you only, have I
sinned and done what is evil in your sight. Ps 51:3-4

without God.
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has
become my salvation. Ex 15:12a

be full of God.
Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and
my mind… Ps 26:2
 For the one who diligently seeks -hungry and thirsty
for God’s presence so he can be satisfied.
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul
thirsts for you, my body longs for you… Ps 63:1a
"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and
you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine
and milk without money and without cost. Why spend
money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does
not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and
your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Isa 55:1-2

29. WORSHIP IS AN INVITATION.
ALL ARE INVITED TO EAT AND
DRINK, FREELY. BUT ONLY FEW
GOES OUT FULL AND
SATISFIED.

30. 2. Worship MUST BE SIMPLE.
 With all the energies involved, and extravagant
preparations, it must not be a hard labor.

presence of God.
Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28)
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope
comes from him. Ps 62:5
 It must be strengthening, invigorating and

I will not give glory to another. Is
42:8
 We created for His own pleasure.
 We belong to Him and to Him alone.
 Worship God alone.

OTHER THINGS TO GAIN PRIORITY IN OUR
HEARTS AND DESIRES OTHER THAN OUR
WORSHIP AND MOST ESPECIALLY THE
OBJECT OF WORSHIP –JESUS CHRIST.
 “WORSHIPING WORSHIP” IS A FORM OF
IDOLATRY.
