True Worship (part 1)

I believe that every christian longs to worship the Lord in victory and with liberty, and I do believe that as christians we can have victory and liberty in every worship service (and in our everyday life), despite our feelings whether we feel victories or not. The Lord described David "A Man After My Own Heart" but take notice he also says that David is a man after his own heart "Who Will Do All My Will" (Acts 13:22) that's something we all need to strive toward. This beautiful compliment, "A Man After My Own Heart", is one that should characterize every person who wears the name of Christ. I believe David is a great example of a "True Worshipper." For John 4:23 tell us  "But 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" John 4:23.

Take notice of the portion that says, "...for the Father seeketh such to worship him." In other words the Lord is actively seeking, looking or locating the "True Worshippers," (I believe that's how David got noticed by the Lord, for David was a worshipper in many areas of his life.) so the inner burden we feel to know God in Worship is stirred within us by the spirit of the Lord. But God does not desire to be worshiped just any old way, for he is specifically looking and locating those that will worship Him "In Spirit and in Truth." I believe, for the most part we all understand how to worship Him "In Spirit" (we must be filled with the Holy Spirit of our Father Jesus Christ, and being filled means to be one with the Father, making us "In Spirit" in other words in tune or in sync.), but what we struggle with more is with the "In Truth" portion of the scripture. What is the "Truth," and how do we implement the "Truth" in our worship.  

There are three points that I want to cover in the next article to bringing us to knowing the "Truth."

1. Who God Is

 2 Where God is, and

 3 What God is Doing.

Here are some scriptures that we will be looking into;

 Gen 1:1, Rev 4:2-11, Matt 5:35, Eph 1:20-23 and Rev 17:14.
