Worship

I am a Worship leader. As a Worship leader the Lord has been speaking to me about True Worship. He has been saying, how as one who does not know what True Worship is can you lead My people? So i have been learning.

In Genesis Abraham was given a son Isaac, in chapter 22 the Father of all creation told him to take his son and sacrifice him on an alter. In obedience Abraham took his son Isaac up on a mountain and told his servants to wait where they were while he took Isaac to go and worship. He and his son gathered the wood for the burnt offering and built the alter of sacrifice. After this Abraham put his own son on the alter and rose the blade that would kill him, but an Angel of the Lord stopped him, and then a ram was produced for the offering.

While there are many means of Worship i believe that the umbrella form the all encompassing form of True Worship is this, obedience. Not only obedience, for even a rock goes where it was forced to. But, a joyful and willing obedience, an obedience that comes out of love and kindness shown from the Master. From the obedience that we show i believe comes an acknowledgement of that obedience. From the obedient sacrifice, Abraham was shown an Angel of the Lord who stayed his hand and was given a ram to finish the sacrifice.

At this same time the Lord revealed to me what True Worship is, my pastor tells me that we need to learn how to Worship. It is an amazing thing when the Father wants you to know something and when he wants you to take the next step in your calling. So perhaps melinda:), the time is coming for more post, more post about how to Worship and the different kinds of Worship which leads to things like Col 3:15-16 where we learn to teach and admonish not only our fellow believers but the nonbeliever with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

to Him be all Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen.
