Be plugged into the miracle of God. Zoom in with your heart and mind to the nature of photosynthesis. What is the purpose of that? There is nothing introspective about that. Help me see what the price would have to be. Show me what sins there are in my life that keep me from being prepared for everything that you might want me to be. Show me the sins, fears, and ambitions that get in the way of that. Show me the stuff that has gotten in the way in the past and could get in the way in the future of me becoming all you want me to be.
I want to get rid of that junk. Give me a vision. Could I be that? And if not, why not? We become unprepared for the future by living that way. We stay children forever if we never expect to be a father. The little five-year-old girls who are playing with their dollies show us there is some innate sense about learning how to be a mother. Bad idea. You are never going to be a good mother if you are knocking your baby out of a highchair.
When did I ever knock you out of your highchair? There are a lot of pews. Those are choices. Without vision the people perish. Go past that. True worship, in other words, is defined by the priority we place on who God is in our lives and where God is on our list of priorities. True worship is a matter of the heart expressed through a lifestyle of holiness. Thus, if your lifestyle does not express the beauty of holiness through an extravagant or exaggerated love for God, and you do not live in extreme or excessive submission to God, then I invite you to make worship a non-negotiable priority in your life.
We worship God because he is God. Our extravagant love and extreme submission to the Holy One flows out of the reality that God loved us first. It is highly appropriate to thank God for all the things he has done for us. However, true worship is shallow if it is solely an acknowledgement of God's wealth.
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. We must focus our practice of worship on the worthiness of God and not his wealthiness. Think about this: Would you continue to worship God if, from this day forward, God's miraculous signs and wonders were not so profoundly evident in your life?
Would God still be worthy of your worship? Luke And they do! Students understand that worshipping God is about celebrating who God is, what God has done and is doing, and what God has created.
It is literally about standing in awe and wonder of knowledge of him and his promises. Students see this worship as a way of life. What does it mean to have an unshakeable faith? All of Scripture is inspired by God, His words are right therefore anything that is in disagreement with Him is a lie. I need to make the decision to be in agreement with what God says! This spirit wants to keep us captive and away from the Father. When you feel guilt trying to steal your strength of conquest, remember to give declarations of faith, remember to use your sword of the Spirit:.
All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Remember that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. How are we sustaining Him?
