Worship From The Heart

Dale

If you're familiar with the celebration of the feasts, the Tabernacles experience is an experience that changes and grows every year. And we're in that period of growing, growing from His appearing during this recent feast. It based upon, what did we do during the feast? The level of Worship, in the feast in His presence has just been skyrocketing. That's what He's all about. He's showing up at this Feast of Tabernacles, to spend time with us, the tabernacle with us, that sets us on a course of a new level of worship.

This level of worship we're talking about, has to do with Him, working in as His will, to will and to do of His good pleasure. While He's always reaching in for His inheritance in the saints, and His inheritance is those who can stand in His presence in worship in spirit and truth. What you're saying is Tabernacles is kind of like the, the gun going off. Here we are on a new level, or a new depth of the Lord, working in us a purity, a drive a hunger, to stand in His presence. It evolves every year, it goes deeper, it goes deeper, it goes deeper. I know that I'm looking for this level of I will call it revelation worship. Where you're not just standing in this presence by faith, but you're standing in his presence with an awareness and a revelation, as He unfolds Himself to you. That has to be an unfolding thing. I think when as we break into that revelation, worship, I call it I don't think it ever ends.

Dale

When God appears to us, He comes bearing gifts of Himself. And we enter into His presence, not only to give Him worship, but He loves us so much, He wants to give us of Himself. You've got so much now, through your obedience, you're going to become My workmanship. Our experiences start out Elementary. Our drive is Lord, let's go deeper. That comes through exposing yourself to Him through worship. That exposure to Him causes the experience to deepen to where you go from glory to glory. You grow you mature. Everything that God brings to us as a gift. He causes the increase, He will never overpower us. So our experiences will always leave us just a little bit wanting more. Gods tricky like that. Oh, did you like that? Let's hang out this time tomorrow and I'll show you something I didn't show you today. And that's why we pursuing Him, we run after Him. It's not that He's ornery and teases us, but He knows how we think. He knows that transition from our heart to His heart, our mind to His mind. He sees that our minds falling away, what's the leaving behind? As He visits us in His presence, He's leaving His heart, His mind. Out of that comes the initiative. To pursue Him with all our hearts. Once we've tasted of these things, there's nothing like it. We can't find it anyplace else but in His presence.

I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, well pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is that which is good, and acceptable and perfect. The only thing you and I have is us. That's the only thing we have to offer Him.

Deborah

And that has to be on a daily basis. Moment by moment basis.

Dale

In His presence is fullness of joy. There are so much that we could have if we would just realize that we take a step. He first loved us how do we return that love? The best we can do is Lord, thank you for loving me when I didn't even know You. Thank you for directing my life, and protecting me too, you could get me to the point where I recognized, hey, there's something going on here. And we take that and all that elementary experience, and it begins to grow, it begins to explode. Till you can you can change from day to day, and even within a day, you can change. What what does that mean? It means that more of Him is dwelling within you. You've received and He has taken up His abode in you.

Ron

I think there's, I'll call it a deeper level of worship. And it has nothing to do with what you get out of it. But it has everything to do with what He gets out of it. What worship means is you come to give to the Lord. You're not coming to see what He's going to do for you, or transform you, or anything like that. Those things happen automatically. There is a level of just coming and adoring Him and worshiping Him, because you want to please Him. You want to give to Him. It's like children coming to their father, and they actually want to be a blessing to the Father. You know, the little girl goes outside and pick some pick some flowers and brings it to their father. So it's giving to the Father not expecting anything in return. Will they get something of course, they'll get something. I'm trying to get at, there's a motivation, a purity of motivation, that I think you can just determine. You know, I don't think you have to wait for it. I don't think you have to, well, I got to be pure. No you just come saying I'm coming to give my heart to the Father, and I'm going to come with something in my heart. Every time I come before Him, I'm coming with something in my heart, to love Him, to worship Him, to give to Him, what I get, whatever He decides.

Dale

I love what you're saying, because you're bringing up one of my favorite scriptures that's a promise for our worship. And it's in Haggai. It says the latter glory, the latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts and in this place I shall give peace declares the LORD of hosts. We got a promise that bears a guarantee. That if we enter in at at whatever level you want to call it, that He promises that you'll get more. What were we created for what is our purpose in this whole scheme of things? Were to be worshipers.
