PICK UP YOUR WEAPONS... PRAISE AND WORSHIP!

​WORSHIP IS…

IN SPITE OF WHAT MY SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SHOW ME, JESUS CHRIST STATED THAT HE WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US THAT WE CAN BOLD SAY THAT HE IS OUR HELPER AND OUR KEEPER. WORSHIP IS WAITING ON THE LORD BY FAITH AND TRUSTING THAT HE WILL ANSWER AND MOVER ON YOUR BEHALF EVEN WHEN YOU MAKE NOT LIKE HOW HE ANSWERS. WORSHIP IS PRAISING EVEN WHEN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES PUT YOU IN POSITION TO CRY INSTEAD OF LIFTING UP THE NAME OF JESUS. PRAISE THE LORD JESUS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS WORTHY. WORSHIP IS PRAYING IN THE MIDST OF FRUSTRATION AND AGGITATION. PRAY WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE JESUS IS NOT LISTENING. WORSHIP IS DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS AND NOT COMPROMISING YORU FAITH WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY PROSPER IN THEIR WAY. WORSHIP IS STANDING IN THE GAP TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATION OF SOMEONE WHO IS HAVING TROUBLE STANDING ON THEIR OWN. WORSHIP IS SINGING A SONG OR HYMN AND REJOICING IN THE MIDST OF CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN YOUR HEART WOULD RATHER SCREAM AND THROW A SPIRITUAL TEMPER TANTRUM. WORSHIP IS SOWING SEEDS OF LOVE IN A PLACE THAT SEEMS BARREN AND DESOLATE WITH THE NATURAL EYE. WORSHIP IS SPEAKING THE WORD OF LIFE TO A SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO BE ON THE BRINK OF DEATH. SPEAKING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. WORSHIP IS EATING THE WHOLE LOAF AND RECEIVING IT ALL WHEN SOME PORTIONS ARE LES TASTEFUL THAN OTHERS. WORSHIP IS EVERLASTING. IT IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON CIRCUMSTANCE. WORSHIP IS A VOW AND A COMMITMENT TO THE TRUTH. WORSHIP IS REAL AND IT’S A LIFESTYLE. WORSHIP IS SURRENDER AS THE WEAKER VESSEL TO ALLOW FOR THE GLORY OF GOD TO MAKE HIS PRESENCE KNOWN. WORSHIP IS THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT FHE IS ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN THAT BY ALL MEANS HE MAY SAVE SOME. WORSHIP IS LOVING ANYWAY, EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW THE NEXT STEP. BY FAITH YOU HOLD THE LORD’S HAND AND SAY, “I’LL GO WHEREVER YOU TAKE ME. JUST TAKE ME WITH YOU!” TRUE WORSHIPPERS IS WHAT HE IS SEEKING.

JOHN 4:22-24
YE WORSHIP YE KNOW NOT WHAT: WE KNOW WHAT WE WORSHIP: FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS.
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.
GOD IS A SPIRIT: AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
