“But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
There is only one place from which you live in Me without any hindrance stopping the flow of My plans for your life and the working of My Will in the earth as it is done in Heaven, and that place is the place of worship.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.
In that place you exult, lifted high above your adversaries on every side, because it is the place of answers given and My promises fulfilled.
Jesus told the thirsty Samaritan woman by Jacob’s well even though there are earthly places that are constructed or held apart for divine worship, which is good for gatherings and corporate anointing, but now that your Messiah has come and given you to drink of the Holy Spirit, worship is not limited to a particular geographic area or time of the day or night. It is the lifestyle of living in the realm of the spirit, no longer limited to the flesh alone. I am Spirit and to be one with Me you must worship in Spirit and truth. I am seeking such worshippers so that I can daily load you with benefits and fulfill My purposes of saving all, bringing all to know the truth, prospering you and giving you good health, and giving all the life of shalom (the whole pie of abundant life without one piece missing) that are My plans for you from everlasting to everlasting. In other words, I want everyone to know Me, not just know about Me, and beyond that, be intimate with Me, that is, be within My inner circle of those I share My plans with and tell of the things to come so together we can release them into the earth.
The devious are an abomination to the LORD; but He is intimate (His private counsel is) with the upright. Proverbs 3:32.
The secret (private counsel, inner circle) of the LORD is for those who fear(revere) Him, and He will make them know His covenant. My eyes are continually toward the LORD, for He will pluck my feet out of the net. Psalm 25:14-15.
These are those who live a lifestyle of true worship in Spirit and truth.
What does it mean to worship in Spirit and truth? It is an intimate place where I make known to you the path of life as it unfolds before you. It is the place of what the worldly call the impossible made possible. Not just once in awhile but all the time, every time. Like in the life of Jesus. It involves where you are putting your attention and what you are looking at. Worship in Spirit and truth puts your attention in the right place. What you are looking at is what you become intimate with and it is what you invite in.
First, you must be walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh, which, simply put, is you are living by faith and not by sight. You are not limiting your vision to the circumstances and situations surrounding you in the world as the final answer. You are in a higher realm, and that realm is truth.
Jesus told His disciples they were in the world but not of the world because He was sanctifying them in truth. My Word is truth. You are not limited to the world’s answers but to the answers in My Words. The world shows you incurable sickness as truth, I show you healing as the truth. I am the LORD your healer. The world shows you financial lack and poverty. I show you provision and prosperity for I have given you the Kingdom. I show you a different source of supply.
My thoughts are higher than your thoughts and My ways than your ways, but I send them down to you, every good thing given and every perfect gift comes down from above originating in Me, the Father of Lights. It comes in seed form, My Word is the seed sown into your heart, and you receive it and cultivate it by keeping your eyes on it and not letting it depart from your eyes, ears, mouth, and heart.
By faith you look at the truth of all the benefits I give to you in Psalm 103:1-5 and you know that all My magnificent promises, as many as they be, are all YES to you in Christ Jesus. It changes your vision. You start to see only My Word and My activity in the situation and that invites it in.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. When two or three are gathered in His Name He is there in your midst. What did He do when He was in the midst of the people, whether in the synagogues, at home, in the temple, or out on the hillsides? He looked around and called out those who had bent backs, withered hands, blind eyes, deaf ears, or crippled limbs and healed them. Their faith connected with the power present for Him to heal, not human power or might but My Spirit. When they were hungry He multiplied bread and fish and fed them. He blessed them.
Why? They came to hear Him (faith comes by hearing and hearing My Word) and be healed. They came expecting. The Pharisees and priests did not come expecting but criticizing. They could not receive. They were looking in the wrong place.
The world is full of what is less than Me and it tries to infiltrate and influence you. But that is the wrong influencer. The true influencer you can trust is My Holy Spirit to lead and guide you to all truth.
If you look only upon your problem, your symptoms, pains, your low finances, and other negative things contrary to My Word these will rob you of your faith for the true answer. Worship looks not at the things that are physically seen but at the unseen that are in My Word waiting to manifest. You do not get blessed looking in the wrong places, upon things I have told you not to look at. You cannot look at the wrong thing and receive the right thing. You have to shift your focus from what is temporal to what is eternal. You shift off what does not really matter to the One who matters. Mine is the ultimate Word.
If what you have needs changing stop looking only at it and turn your attention to My Word that is the answer. What you look at goes into your soul. Looking at the wrong thing has a penalty—it takes your faith away. My Word shows you what you don’t see physically but you must look there with thanksgiving and praise. That is worship in Spirit and truth.
Jesus never panicked, even in a terrible storm with water shipping into the boat. He looked to My Word and direction calmly and commanded the wind and sea to calm down and they did. I have given you dominion authority in the earth. He lived a lifestyle of worship. He was full of thankful praise and never severed contact with Me. He looked to Me for His Words and works.
At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.” Luke 10:21.
Again, what you are gazing upon, what you are looking at, is invited in. You know this is true. When you catch eyes with someone you are inviting them into a closeness with you. That is why if someone seated alongside the street as you walk along looks dangerous you keep your eyes from meeting theirs. The minute you open that contact they will come to beg from you or to follow you for no good purpose. You have made the connection.
If you look at the activity or let in the thoughts of unclean spirits you invite in more of their activity. You must shut it down. You keep your eyes on Me and you invite Me in for more. That is worship. In every place and time you keep your eyes lifted to Me.
To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I trust. Psalm 25:1.
Here is a good roadmap of what I am telling you will be to your benefit and turn your life around:
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. . . Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. . . Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Colossians 3:1-2;5;16-17.
Worship looks at My promises and then miracles become easy. Faith thrives in the looking and fear dies when you are looking at Me. Attend to My Words, keep them before your eyes, treasure them and guard them in your heart, rejoice in My promises before they manifest and you will watch them unfold before your eyes. My glory will rise and shine on you—that is, the exercise of My immense power in love producing good and eradicating evil. That comes in worship. Arise and shine.
If you consider the life of Job you will see this. He stated that what he feared came upon him and he was not at rest but was ill at ease. He invited in what he did not want by concentrating only on the dreaded result. But once I came and got his attention on Me everything turned around and his healing and prosperity came as easily as he had driven them away. It was all where he was looking.
As you come before Me with joyful expectation, with testimonies of thanksgiving in rehearsing again My help to you in the past and praising what I have promised now and forever, worship begins. Worship is an intimate exchange between you and Me where miracles can flow as easily as the gentle breeze of the Spirit. Worship holds you attention on victory in My Word, that all will come out well, achieving the desired end. Worship will hold you strong in My promises. Worship shifts your focus and your values off what would destroy you to the One who raises you up to sit at His right hand, FAR ABOVE all evil spirits.
Although many of My people love Me they do not live in My Will for them, they are sick and lacking in resources and just put up with it. Do you know the reason? Only one: they do not worship enough. They are looking at the wrong things and trying to mix it with some faith. Little faith and more fear. You cannot serve two masters, you will worship one and despise the other. They are putting their eyes on what robs them of faith. They are letting circumstances overwhelm them from lifting their eyes to Me in worship—in Spirit (faith) and truth (My Word). You have to start looking at what you want that is promised in My Word instead of what you have.
In the Garden of Eden, the devil got Adam and Eve looking at the wrong things and took the faith out of them in My Word. He still does this. You need faith eyes, the eyes of your heart, to see what is in My Word. Once you see it in My Word that is all you need to have it come to pass if you stay in thanksgiving and praise.
When have you worshipped enough? When My Word becomes more real to you than the circumstances. The more filled up you get with My Word, the more you can receive from Me.
“He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true. For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure.” John 3:31-34.
Worship is day by day, constantly in that realm. Carry the flow of worship and stay mindful of the direction of your help. Your mind will not be troubled worshipping. You will not be subject to depression or panic while worshipping. You can worship your way out of where you got yourself by not worshipping.
Many are not living in Heaven’s best because they do not worship Me enough. It is only enough when My promise is bigger than the problem, when I have your attention. You can quote My Word and be singing but if your attention is on your problem and not on Me and the result I have promised is not real to you, then you have not worshipped enough. When the anointing comes you will know for it will break the yoke and lift the burden.
In a recent case, one of My children lost her wallet with all her credit cards and IDs in it, she found it was no longer in her possession and was not sure where she lost it, she began to panic but I told her if you calm down and lay that down and stop looking at it then I can bring it back to you. I told her what to do and off went her guardian angel as she praised Me and did what I told her and I arranged a one of a kind miracle and I returned that to her in tact and gave her new friends in the process who responded to her and delivered it to her. She turned to worship instead of fear and I responded. I withhold no good thing from those who seek Me.
The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; but they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing. Psalm 34:10.
The only big problem is the one you make big. Worship is dismantling the opposition. Know this, nothing is too hard for Me, nothing is impossible to Me, and nothing is too wonderful for Me and it is the same for you who believe that of Me. When you cooperate, I can operate.
I love you. Now I would challenge you to keep your mind stayed on Me in worship in Spirit and in truth and watch the miracles flow.
