Recommended: The importance of family worship

In the life of a believer, worshipping the Lord should be a daily discipline. Jesus talks about worship often to His disciples. In John 4:23 Jesus says, “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipper will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” Jesus emphasizes the importance of worship to disciplines in explaining that God the Father seeks worshippers who truly worship Him. Worship is a gateway for the presence of God. Psalm 22:3 tells us that God “inhabits the praises of Israel.” When we praise, God is there in the midst of it and is inhabiting our praises. Worship brings power to our situations. Isaiah 63:1 says we should put on “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” We can come before God and bring all our heaviness and burdens and receive more than we expected. We can receive joy, peace, comfort, relief, power, strength, and assurance. There are many aspects of worship to be explored. …show more content…

While I was worshipping God, my family came to mind. As I worshipped God for His faithfulness and goodness, I began to think about how my family may view God. A lot of my family members aren’t saved and don’t go to church. As I meditated on who God is, I couldn’t help but crave that same revelation for my family. I know that I fall in love with God more and more whenever I spend time with Him. I receive revelations of who He is and I desire to become more like Him the more time I spend with Him. I believe that as I was worshipping God, He gave me a strong desire in that moment to pray for my family. As I was prompted by the Holy Spirit, I began to pray for my family. I was praying that the Lord would send people to them. I began to pray Scripture over their lives and the situation. I ended my prayer with worshipping God and praising Him in advance for His work in them. I left with a peace that transcends a

  • The Holy Father: The Significance Of The Holy Spirit

    1016 Words  | 3 Pages

    The mention of the Holy Spirit so often in Romans 8 (more than twenty times) has the purpose of pointing out the actions of the Father, which serves to reveal His identity as the one who raised Jesus, specifically in Romans 8:11, from the dead. This same verb, is also used in Romans 4:17 in relationship to the faith of Abraham. The Father who raised Jesus from the dead and gives life the Abraham 's faith is the same Who will raise the believers of Jesus. In a similar fashion to the identity descriptions within Romans 4, namely Romans 4:5, 17, 24 and their relationship, there is an echo in Romans 8:32: “He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?” The Father is He who

    Also, how He gives us the things that we ask for, and how He is faithful to the end, and will never leave or forsake you. Therefore, that is the reason we worship Him, because He is worthy of all of our praise, therefore, deserves to be glorified in the highest form of praise, which is, “Hallelujah!” As it states in the Bible, “And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God” (Revelation 19:1).

  • John Wesley's Role Of Worship In The Father Of The Church

    “Human beings are made for worship. Everyone worships someone or something” (Calhoun 2005). The above statement is so true. Some people worship money, themselves, other people or pagan Gods. As for me I worship God the Almighty Father of Heaven and Earth. “True worship of God happens when we put God first in our lives” (Calhoun 2005). Worship isn’t just singing at the beginning of a church service on Sunday. Worship is a daily surrender where we put God first in everything such as our marriage, work life, friendships, family, money, and lifestyle. Worship is where we totally surrender and trust God with everything in our lives.

    To me, this verse portrays the “spirit” of worship talked about in John. Here we see that the centrality of worship is a love for Christ which compels a response in thankfulness, and singing. This is also accurately describes my experience with worship. For me, worship does not lie within any certain act or ritual, rather, it is an outward expression of a joy felt within. The truth of the Gospel fills us with an uncontainable joy which we then express in teaching, singing, thankfulness, and, ideally, everything that we do.

    Finally, the last book of the Bible inspires hope in the lives of the worshipping church. It depicts they day when God and the Church will be united forever and face-to-face. No longer will there be a temple to go and meet God, because God himself will be the temple (Revelation 21:22). The hope for ultimate intimacy with God forever drives the focus and vision of the church to worship in the meantime. Through good or bad, easy or difficult, success or failure, pleasure or pain… the reality of intimate worship with God for eternity gives strength and eager expectation of the New Earth to come.

As I was thinking about Easter and the celebration of the resurrection in the next couple of weeks.

The conclusion I came to is that His Grace is truly amazing! Only a perfect God can give Grace. I believe this revelation of Grace grown deeper roots in me. Because of this course, my husband and I have had some good conversations of how God has set us apart from the world.

    At one point or another in one’s life you are faced with God, eye to eye and you know it. You can feel the Holy Spirit’s presence, like a humming sound that’s too low to hear, but it’s there and you can feel it, a feeling that you are not alone. For some, this feeling lasts for eternity, and for others God works within them again and again because the Lord’s love is persistent. The feeling I had came and went, for it was not strong enough as a child. But now, I am the strongest I have ever been.

It was here I made a vow to the Lord in the faith that I would find remembrance. As I made this vow and fulfilled it, the Lord opened doors that I can truly say would not have been opened if I didn’t respond to the word to ‘seek first the kingdom’. Out of this time, the Lord blessed me financially, led me to buy a home and healed my anxious heart. It was here that I began to find testimony before God through offering.
