True Worship

True worship is absolute surrender of one's spirit, soul and body to The One Who has all authority over his/her life. soul comprises of will, intellect and emotion.

True worship is the response of a person when he connects with his Creator God.

True worship originates in the spirit of man which connects with God. Then it proceeds to the soul and body, bringing him to the posture of kneeling, bowing down and prostrating himself before God.

Constant true worship is on in heaven currently! Come, let's have a glimpse of it!!

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."    Revelation 4:1-11 (NKJV) 




Man has an inherent instinct to worship as he was primarily created for that purpose. Therefore, if not God, we still worship something! While worshiping God, we also worship other things. True worship is worshiping God, and worshiping God alone.

When we worship anything or anyone other than God, we come under bondage and are oppressed.
Therefore God has commanded us to worship Him alone. This brings us into freedom and liberty.
This puts us in the right place bringing us into right relationship with others and other things, whether God-made or man-made. That is victorious living!

We cannot experience true worship if we do not connect with God and see His glory. This world is separated from heaven by a heavenly realm in which the powers of darkness are prevalent. Also, the things we see and hear, dull our spiritual vision and hearing. Therefore we need to diligently seek God and His glory, so that we may worship Him.

When we worship God, His favor comes upon us and His goodness and blessings pour into our lives.
As we continue to worship, we are being prepared to be part of the worship team in heaven one day!
