Our God is neither seeking praise and worship singing specialists, nor is He seeking pastors, teachers of the Word, prophets, evangelists, servants, christian converts etc.. He is seeking sons and daughters who will spend quality time in the intimacy of His presence, beyond the veil, in His chambers, and take the time to lay their hearts against His and listen as He whispers kingdom secrets.

2. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks . John 4:23 And He said to him, “you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind . Matthew 22:37 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Our God is neither seeking praise and worship singing specialists, nor is He seeking pastors, teachers of the Word, prophets, evangelists, servants, christian converts etc.. He is seeking sons and daughters who will spend quality time in the intimacy of His presence, beyond the veil, in His chambers, and take the time to lay their hearts against His and listen as He whispers kingdom secrets. Whatever your ministry or your call is, or if you‘re an ordinary member of the body of Christ, God is seeking true worshipers, men and women who will begin loving His presence passionately ,more than any other thing. And if you still wonder what call God has for you? Know that you call is a lifestyle called worship. Your purpose on this earth, and that through your new birth, is to worship the True and Living God, to love and serve Him alone in your thoughts and in your actions. Bethelsg ©

4. True worship is not just singing! It is an attitude of the heart. We worship through prayer,through our way of living, through our obedience to the word of God. When our heart is detached from our thoughts and the Lord alone is the center of our thoughts, then does our heart totally inclines to God! God reproaches His people of worshipping by religious formalism. " The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men ." (Isaiah 29:13; see Matthew15:8) True worship is a foretaste of heaven! Ture worshipe is that which comes form deep within the heart. Closed heavens Opened heavens Bethelsg ©

5. A life of praise and worship can be learned! We learn how to worship and praise God according to how God reveals to it us: in spirit and in truth ! God wants as many as we are to learn to cultivate His presence ! Every Christian should cultivate a life of personal worship. Bethelsg ©

9. I have been created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). Just as God is spirit, I too am a spirit who has a soul and lives in a body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My spirit is the real me! Therefore when I worship, I need to rise to the dimension of my spirit. I should no longer imagine myself in the dimension of my soul or my body (no longer be carnal) Because I,the spirit me, command my body and soul! In the spirit, I am like Christ, because when I became born again, it is my spirit that was renewed( not my soul or my body)! Only my spirit is righteous, and I know that it is only through my spirit that I can truely enter the presence of God! Bethelsg ©

10. When God looks at us, He looks at our inner being, in other words, our spirit man! When we become born again, our spirit is reconnected to the presence of God. He wants us therefore to be sensitive to our spiritual nature and one of the ways to wirship Him and enter into His presence is to speak and worship in tongues, and to sing unto Him spiritual songs in tongues (Colossians 3:16). Speaking in tongues is not a sign of being super spiritual, but it is a gift of the Holy Spirit received by the baptism of The Holy Spirit, it is an insturment that makes us sensitive to the spiritual world, and which if we are obedient to the word of God helps us in our walk with God and makes Christ to be glorified in our lives. A song cannot be spiritual, or according to the Spirit of God, unless the feelings it expresses are in harmony with the mind of the Spirit of God, as revealed in the scripture. If you have not yet experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in tongues, know that it belongs to you and that it will make you stronger and victorious. (Acts 2.37-39) Bethelsg ©

13. Who is a TRUE worshipper ? Worship is as natural as eating and breathing: all human beings are born with a desire to worship. Human beings have a natural tendency to worship everthing or anything. When someone lacks what to worship( idols, statues, stars, a personality, an admired one etc) he tends to worship himslef! There is therefore a difference between a worshipper according to men and a TURE worshipper according to God! Bethelsg ©

15. Who is a TRUE worshipper ? « The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks ». John 4.23. The true worshipper worships God in spirt (his spirit which is connected to God) and in truth. The true worshipper is reconciled to God in Christ and has peace with Him. The true worshipper doesn`t worship by following rituals as many chirstians do when they gather in church ; Worship is his lifeslyle and results from his obedience to Christ`s commands. The true worshipper enters the intimacy of God`s presence by faith. « And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him » Hebrwes 11 :6 Bethelsg ©

22. When you worship, remember where you came from (You have passed from darkness to light) ( Revelations 2:5 ), rememeber what the Lord did for you and offer Him thanksgiving! In order to worship God you must know Him: How can you worship a God whom you do not know?A God whose words or deeds for you you do not know! Spend time daily in His presence and in His word in order to learn to know Him better, to better understand what He has done for you, to better grasp His promises, to better understand who He has made you to be in Christ, and what He has done for you in Christ… How can you thank Him without knowing what He has done and how can you worship Him without knowing how those who preceeded you worhsipped Him in the Bible?
