~Worship~

Close your eyes. If you close your eyes you won't be able to read this text. So, close your eyes after  reading what I have to say. When you close your eyes, sit in silence. Talk to Father God. Avoid pleading with Him for things you may think you need or requests you think you need to bring to Him at this moment. Use this time of quietness with Father God to seek Him. Ask Him what needs to be changed in your heart and soul. Tell Him you desire to de-clutter. 


Read this passage aloud before closing your eyes in silence:

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:1-2


When you close your eyes and are in silence with God, pray this scripture something like this..."Lord, I give my all to you, my heart, my soul, and my mind. Please renew my mind in You and help me to know Your will for my life."
Then sit in silence and listen! Be patient! Listen! Maybe you will hear nothing at this time. Maybe you will hear a soft whisper. Be open to Father God!
After you have listened for a while, open your eyes and read the following:

"Then he said to me, This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, says the Lord of hosts." Zechariah 4:6


When we are in a right relationship with Jesus, we can have the same Holy Spirit power in us that raised Jesus from the dead. Think about that! Absorb that Truth! That is a LOT of Godly power!
This time you can either keep your eyes open or closed...just don't give way to distractions. Talk to Father God about this truth of having the Holy Spirit in you. Thank Him for the Holy Spirit in you. 

Sometimes people can be uncertain as to what the Holy Spirit can do. They tend to hold back maybe in fear or doubt of some sort. The Holy Spirit helps you to discern. He speaks to you in that still small voice that shows you what to do about situations. He empowers you to stand strong in your walk with Jesus. He gives you that Crazy Peace and Joy! Talk to Jesus about Him. Read scriptures about the Holy Spirit. Accept that when you have a relationship with Jesus, you HAVE that amazing Counselor and Strength of the Holy Spirit.

Your act of worship is to be in obedience to Father God and His word. Periodically take times of quiet with Him. Maybe He told you to set up specific times to be with Him. Do that! Our worship of Father God is not only to sing to and of Him or to praise Him. Those things are parts of worship. True worship is to live in obedience to what He wants for your life. 

Jesus said, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." John 14:26 The Holy Spirit is to be in our heart, soul, and mind. I become giddy knowing that because I know the amazing strength and joy there is in Him and I know that there is SO much more to Him than I have experienced. 


We all express our Holy Spirit power in different ways. Some are more quiet, some express their minds excitedly and openly...and there are some in between.

Allow the Holy Spirit to work inside you as you daily walk with Jesus and commune with Him. Follower of Jesus, KNOW that you have mighty Holy Spirit Power if you accept it. Proceed in life living with the Holy Spirit and enjoying whatever life with Him brings!
