Being a Worshipping Church

THE WORSHIP POSE CLIP

Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people. Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what he has kept for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve

John 4: 23-24 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.  24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

Ephesians 2:1-2 Ephesians 2:3 In the past you were spiritually dead because of your disobedience and sins. 2 At that time you followed the world's evil way; you obeyed the ruler (devil) of the spiritual powers in space, the spirit who now controls the people who disobey God Ephesians 2:3 3 Actually all of us were like them and lived according to our natural desires, doing whatever suited the wishes of our own bodies and minds. In our natural condition we, like everyone else, were destined to suffer God's anger.

Ephesians 2:4-7 4 But God's mercy is so abundant, and his love for us is so great, 5 that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God's grace (a gift) that you have been saved. 6 In our union with Christ Jesus he raised us up with him to rule with him in the heavenly world. 

Romans 8:5-8 5 Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants. 6 To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace. 7 And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it. 8 Those who obey their human nature cannot please God. 

IDOL WORSHIP CLIP

“The hearts of many long for this but have not been taught how to soar in the freedom of the spirit where there is fullness of joy that comes from being in his presence.” Ron Roden (Pastor of Destiny Church Fellowship and founder of Destiny Eastgate Ministries)

“When the focus of our spiritual life is on doing rather than being where our spirit connects to God in spirit, we will miss the place of His habitation where we find rest in his presence.” Ron Roden (Pastor of Destiny Church Fellowship and founder of Destiny Eastgate Ministries)

“What aborts the fulfilment of the more abundant life in Christ is the lack of intimacy with God that comes from the spirit-to-spirit connection. It is this connection that enables us to move in His supernatural power. Much of the present lack of supernatural power is due to the lack of intimacy.” Ron Roden (Pastor of Destiny Church Fellowship and founder of Destiny Eastgate Ministries)

But whoever is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

“The world cannot know of the realm of the Kingdom of heaven until a people arise in spirit to become one with God in heaven. It is here from above where His authority and rule is demonstrated on earth as it is in heaven.” Ron Roden (Pastor of Destiny Church Fellowship and founder of Destiny Eastgate Ministries)

“I then saw three golden strands, stretching down from top to bottom… there were some people trying to climb up the strands, but they were finding it hard work, because the strands were not strong enough and they were trying to do it by themselves. I was thinking if those strands joined together, they would be a lot stronger… In this picture I just felt God saying we need to make sure there is unity within the church. We need to be united to one another as individuals, but we also need to be united with God”. Rachael Inwood

“During the worship last night, I looked up and I could see above everyone who was there what can be described as a spider’s web made from golden strands! … I realised how similar the strands were to the picture that God gave me earlier in the week. I felt God was saying that he was weaving us together to form a web to catch people for his Kingdom. That we need to be intertwined with each other and with God. But we also need to make sure that we are not easily dusted away, like an earthy spider’s web.” Rachael Inwood
