A Man after God's Heart // True Worship (Part 3)

Ilya shared message about worship. Message Notes: “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks” John 4:23 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship”  Romans 12:1-2 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.  And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. the whole earth is full of his glory.”  Isaiah 6:1-4  “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”  Isaiah 6:5  Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”  Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:6-8 “but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”  Isaiah 40:31 Notable points: - Worship is a gift that we give unto God that He Himself has not given us. - We all seek God ,but God only seeks one - a worshipper. - Worship is an attitude and an action. - Worship involves physical expressions founded upon biblical guidelines; they are neither ritual, perfunctory actions, or the serving of emotions for their own sake. Among the physical expressions of worship found in Scripture are kneeling, clapping hands, raising hands, verbalized praise, singing hymns and psalms, weeping, laughing, bearing witness aloud (“Amen”), reading the Word aloud, prostrating before the Lord, speaking in tongues, dancing before the Lord, giving public testimony, standing, silence, and spiritual song. 3 Things Worship Does to us: 1. Worship makes us look Upward.  * You see God for who He really is. * Our focus shifts from our mess to our Master. * We become focused on the greatness of our God, not our problems. 2. Worship helps us see Inward.   * We see our unworthiness in the light of His worthiness.   * Worship reveals us our dependence on God.  3. Worship empowers us to go Forward.   * It empowers us to answer the call. * Worship ushers us into the presence of God and the presence of God renews us. * Worship is directly tied to miracles and the supernatural.    * Whatever we are going through, go through it with worship.
