Herald of Maranatha:
Fresh From God
Topic: The worship of God (His Presence)
John 4:22-23 KJV
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Worship is one of the most misunderstood words in Christendom. I grew up in an environment where we believe a slow tempo song is a worship, while the faster tempo is praise.
We come to church and we take praise and worship, so we begin with faster songs and finish with the slower songs.
So Jesus was very right when He said "Ye worship and ye no not what"
We really don't know many things in our art of worship. Worship of God is more than singing a slow song to Him, but it's more of giving ourselves to God.
The worship of God is about us, not just what we have. Though we can worship God with our possessions, that can only be accepted after we have offered ourselves to God, first.
Remember Cain, God had no respect for him, hence no respect for his offering.
Genesis 4:5 KJV
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
True worshippers who have given themselves to God can be easily identified because nothing at all will be difficult for them to give to God.
Little wonder Jesus, from our text, said:
John 4:23 KJV
[23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
To worship the Father in spirit and in truth means, you've just gone beyond the flesh and moved into a realm where nothing else matters, but Jesus alone.
We need to cry out for a deeper walk with God, where we can experience true worship of the Father.
