WE TRANSFORM BY ABIDING

To understand these next few days it is so important that you listen to the first one called Jealousy. It sets the stage for the levels of abiding in God. 

So after yesterday we talked about praise and worship… and next is the Word of God. 

praise  and  worship

we bring a sacrifice of praise… praise crucifies the flesh. 

Psalm 100 we enter his courts with thanksgiving in our hearts we enter his courts with praise….

This is a Psalm about the sheep entering into the courts of the temple… news flash- the sheep entering into the course are there to be sacrificed. 

Praise and worship is

A form of faith in and through obedience in all circumstances.

You praise him - regardless of circumstances (obedience)

You believe his word -  “          “         “  (obedience)

You act on his word -   “         “         “  (obedience)

You live his mission - “      “     “    (obedience) 

The difference of Praise and worship

Praise is stepping on the flesh. You don’t feel like it but you put your flesh to death. We bring a sacrifice of praise. We surrender our feelings, our flesh and our surroundings. 

We need to praise in order to move into the deeper parts of worship. 

once we sacrifice our flesh only then can we truly be drawn into worship. 

Worship is an understanding of being moved by his presence to WANT to worship him. 

In the hebrew the word worship means lick or kiss

 Barak - to kneel, fall down, worship him. To salute God! A total surrender. 

We want to worship him! We need to worship him, it becomes our heart focus and desire.

So we praise him regardless of how we feel, we yell, sing, shout, get excited to be in his presence… WE MAKE OUR FLESH CONFORM TO HIS WORTH… HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED- TO SACRIFICE OUR FEELINGS AND FLESH TO BRING HIM WORDS OF PRAISE!

THEN WE CAN WORSHIP HIM…
