THE HEART OF WORSHIP

These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. They worship Me in vain... Mark 7: 6b & 7a

You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me. John 5:39

When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, Lord God Almighty. Jeremiah 15:16

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 1 Peter 2:2

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. 2 Peter 3:18

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Ephesians 1:17

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him 10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 1 Cor 2:9-12

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. John 16:13

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8

DESCRIPTION Our fathers worshiped on this mountain.. John 4: 20a You Samaritans worship what you do not know, we worship what we do know... John 4: 22 The heart of worship: The intimate knowledge of God

PRESCRIPTION (a) IN SPIRIT..We who worship by the Spirit of God... Phil. 3: 3a God, that we may understand what God has freely given us....God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God...We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 1 Cor. 2: 10 & 12 1 Cor. 2: 10 & 12

IN SPIRIT A PRINCIPLE OR AN ATTITUDE THAT PERVADES THE THOUGHT AND STIRS US TO ACT HE IS AND HOW HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF IN ACCORDANCE TO WHO HE IS AND HOW HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF

(b) IN TRUTH Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. John 17: 17 in accordance with the word of the Lord. It was because of you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of Him about how to do it in the prescribed way... And the Levites carried the Ark of God with poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the Lord. 1 Chr. 15: 13 & 15 1 Chr. 15: 13 & 15 At the heart of worship: God’s Spirit and His Truth

INTENTION...Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4: 13 & 14 Encounter Jesus – Touching Heaven, Changing Earth Earth

The encounter resulted in a revelation...I know that Messiah is coming. When He comes He will explain everything to us. Then Jesus declared, “I who speak to you am He.” John 4: 25 & 26 The revelation produced a change Then leaving her water jar, the woman went back to town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” John 4: 28 & 29 The change created an impact Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in (Jesus) because of the woman’s testimony. John 4: 39 John 4: 39

AT THE HEART OF TRUE WORSHIP THE INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD GOD’S SPIRIT AND HIS TRUTH INNER CHANGE THROUGH AN ENCOUNTER

THE NATURE OF TRUE WORSHIP PRAISING GOD IN SPITE OF THE PAIN THANKING GOD IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS TRUSTING GOD WHEN LIFE MAKES NO SENSE LOVING GOD EVEN WHEN HE SEEMS DISTANT
