PHASE 2 – LIVE THE JOURNEY
We need to look at what it is to worship in spirit and in truth. It is
important to note that we do these two simultaneously. We do not
worship in spirit in one setting and in truth in another. It‘s vital that
we have these two aspects in a close relationship with each other.
Worshipping God in spirit means to worship Him from the heart with
all we have, just as the greatest commandment that Jesus gave
tells us to do.
Mark 12:30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your
strength. This is the first commandment
Our spirit is the core of who we are. We also know that God is a
spiritual being. To worship in spirit, then, is to do something that is
beyond the physical. We reach from the deep places of our
beings to worship.
Psalm 42:7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
We do not worship by simply bowing our knees; we worship
through a heart posture. The bowing of our hearts.
Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and
a contrite heart These, O God, You will not despise.
And by worshiping in spirit our worship is in line with the worship
going on in heaven.
True worship is not about us at all, but it's all about God. We
cannot worship God in truth with sin in our lives or if there is self-will
in our hearts, because it is about God‘s will for us and not the other
way around.
