I was at our House of Prayer yesterday night and it became very crystal clear to me yet again how much I greatly desire the Presence of Jesus! The depths of my soul could not explain the feeling that always takes over in the worship that comes from being in the House of Prayer.
I truly believe that Houses of Prayer will be one of the incense-releasers of His Presence in this season and time...
What is it about worship that ushers in the tangible Presence and eventual Glory of God? Here's a hint: the word worship first appears in the Bible when Abraham tells his servants to wait behind while he and Isaac go on to 'worship' God. That tells me that worship involves sacrifice if you know the full story of Genesis 22. And sacrifice is all about trusting that He will definitely come through on what He promised, it's about not budging and believing no matter what's happening, it's about digging your heels deep and standing firm and worshiping through the hail and the storm and the whirlwind, until you hear the still small voice come through like Elijah did and then the victory is so sweet. But it's also about enjoying the worship and hearing His voice, seeing His face...what joy!
So back to yesterday, worshiping Him is what I love to do and considering we shall be doing a lot of worship in eternity, shouldn't you be getting a head start on it here on earth? I realize with every passing moment, that I need Him utterly and completely and worship is one of the best avenues to express this to Him, He loves receiving our worship and desires to respond to our praise!
There is no other way of describing this and if I may use the word 'junkie' in a positive way, I would say I was a 'Presence junkie'...I simply cannot do without Him...what about you? Go ahead, tip those incense bowls and release His joy!
God bless you as you seek Him, and find Him.
He truly delights in your worship!
