INTRODUCTION: THE POWER OF TRUE WORSHIP! 


John 4:21-24-  21 Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear
woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether
you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 You Samaritans know very little about the one you
worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes
through the Jews.  23 But the time is coming—indeed
it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in
spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will
worship him that way.  24 For God is Spirit, so those
who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

Worshipers who worship in spirit and in truth will illustrate
this new type of worship. Listen to this y'all, Jesus said, not
me, but Jesus said, that God is seeking a worshiper, one who will
worship Him in spirit and in truth. This is what’s important to
God, God doesn’t care about how big your church is, where it’s
located, what style of music is played, or (oh yeah) what color
of the carpet is, or what the choir is wearing! God doesn’t care
about that stuff. 


Greek word for worship is sebó (seh-bow) which means
Revere/ruh-veer or Adore, Spirit is pneuma means
wind or breath, and the truth is translated as
alétheia    (a-lay-thee-ah). English
words (truth, true, surely)


Ain’t you glad that the God of this universe is seeking us to
worship Him? He is not satisfied with the millions/zillions or
even the duo-tri-gin-trillion (10 to the 99th power) of angels
who worship Him, He wants us to worship Him, believers. There is
something in our worship that angels just don’t have. We can give
worship because of the salvation we have in Christ Jesus, Amen
y'all. Angels can’t do that.  We, who have been saved by His
grace, bought by His blood.


Spiritual worship is more than emotional worship. Worship
is not about how it makes YOU feel. The measure of
spiritual worship is NOT how it touches your emotions. I’m not
suggesting that we should never manifest emotions in worship, no,
we just need to be cautious that we don’t mistake an emotional
experience for a spiritual experience, that’s all I’m saying. A
person can respond emotionally to what they see God do in someone
else’s life, but it never touches them spiritually.   A
spiritual response brings about a change.

SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:
 Psalm 95:6-Come, let us bow down in worship, let us
kneel before the Lord our Maker.


Hebrews13:15-16-  15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us
continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips
that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do
good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is
pleased.
