WORSHIP
|
And thus are the secrets of his
heart made manifest;
and so falling down on his face he will
worship God,
and report that God is in you of a truth.
I Corinthians 14:25

Let's Go Inside to Worship!
A simple word study on 'worship' will show you that there
are five worship situations in the NT.
-
1) False Worship - of the devil, the antichrist, the beast
and his image. Revelation 13:8, 12, 15;
14:9, 11
-
2) Vain Worship to THE UNKNOWN GOD - Acts
17:23 But in vain they do
worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7
-
3) Corruptible Man Worship instead of the Creator.
Romans
1:25 Who changed the truth of God into
a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator...
(creature being verse 23 And changed the glory
of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and
to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
-
4) God Worship John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in truth. I
Corinthians 14:25 And thus are the secrets
of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship
God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
-
5) Jesus Christ Worship - all through the gospels... and in
Revelation, and this is the type of worship the new modern bibles are trying
to prevent!
Let's now go to "thee" verse on Worshipping God...
Psalm 68:4!
Sing unto God,
sing praises to his name:
extol him that rideth upon the heavens
by his name JAH,
and rejoice before him.
Remember:
sing praises to his name - at others / from
me / to Him - Psalm
66:2; 96:2; 135:2,3
extol him that ... - to Him / from me
- Psalm 47:6
rejoice before him - from me / from Him -
John
14:6 or Revelation 3:20
Or, the modern worship
folks take God away by taking Christ away!
...his name - (Take out Christ, Lord, Jesus, etc.)
...him that rideth... - (prepare folks for Revelation 6)
...before him - (Take "Him" out of the picture!)
Publishers take Him out by printing new perverted bibles!
Preachers take Him out by not preaching on doctrine,
not preaching on reproof, not
preaching correction and not
preaching any
instruction in righteousness!
Parents take Him out with demands of OT Holiness bondage and / or providing
a bad example and testimony!
SING
UNTO GOD...
see verses in extol
page
Old Testament: - LORD - as written: with tabrets, harps, timbrels,
etc.
but any worship UNTO was through priests and high priests!
As a NT Christian, how can we sing SING
UNTO GOD today?
UNTO means before his presence,
correct?
Psalm 100:2
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
How is it that a New Testament Christian
come before his presence with singing?
Listen to the audio for the remaining portion of this sermon
(when it becomes available on line...)
I explain the doctrine of the Priesthood of the Believer and use the
OT tabernacle to encourage us Bible Believers to not be satisfied being
in the Outer Court, to be serving in the Holy Place but to be worshipping
in the Holy of Holies.
Thanks to Brother Linton Smith for those thoughts and
ideas - it makes for good preaching to us 'lazy' Christians who are 'being
entertained' in the Outer Court instead of serving and worshipping now
that the veils are GONE!
Yes, Christian! We can go inside; we should go
inside; that is where true worship takes place!
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:13
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne
of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace
to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
