God desires for us to worship Him in spirit and truth. No matter what is stirring in the natural, He is seeking for us to know that we are complete in Him despite how we might feel. We have to get beyond these feelings and get the hands on the truth. What does the Word say about God, about you, and about me? What is the truth? How do the two become one?
The heart, mind, and life of the worshiper should be consistent with no incongruities. God is looking for a people who worship the Lord at all times and not just in the congregation. I see this as someone who is transparent. The word tells us to bless the Lord at all times and that His praises shall be continually in our mouths. That’s a tall order of fries, but if we are attuned to the heavenly father and not so much being drawn by our earthly surroundings and circumstances, we are able to soar with Christ and enter into this worship. We are more likely to be singular minded and not double-minded. The Bible tells us that at a double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways. I venture to say that a person who is double-hearted is just as unstable. The Bible tells us to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. God is looking for devoted Christians who live their lives to glorify Christ.
God is looking for a people whose heart and mind are one with His. They live a lifestyle of true worship. This is the sign of someone who sings the new song. Every day they have fresh manna from heaven. They thank God for it and revel in His completeness all day long. They go beyond feeling and believe the truth. This frees them to worship God. The two are the winning combination that God is looking for in His people. He wants an undivided truthful heart that worships Him in His presence.
John 4:23-24 (NIV)
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
