Experiencing Worship

But if there are times when we don't feel the presence and feel we are not experiencing worship– we should get down on our faces in silence and give God the room to speak to us. We should align our thoughts to Him only and press in. The barriers might be our own minds and thoughts causing us to not hear or sense. One thing we must believe is that God is always with us – whether we feel Him there or not. It's our own minds that close off the communication. We must press in during these times in faith that He is there and hears us – and that our ears be open to what he has to say to us.

In John 4:23-24 it speaks of experiencing worship of God in Spirit and in Truth: 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.

God can only inhabit this worship – those who seek after Him alone. In society and in times past, mankind has worshipped many different gods – in many different ways. The truth is there is only one God – one true God and one true Way – through His son Jesus Christ. It's really very simple to just open up to Him alone and close out all other distractions. This is how God can inhabit His people – this is how God can guide us and lead us into His truth – the one way – the one truth – the one eternal life.

Experiencing worship is a constant awareness of God – and the Holy Spirit. If we are mindful that they are with us continually we are more apt to direct our thoughts and actions to that of purity and Holiness living a life that is pleasing to God and that puts us in the best of all circumstances.

We can connect with God Just by directing our thoughts to Him. Worshipping out loud is a wonderful thing – singing and praising with our tongues brings in true worship – but in times when this isn’t possible – we can direct our thoughts to do this without making a peep. God inhabits our thoughts as well – and when we do this in our minds, He can fill our minds with His presence. The more we practice doing this – the more we are apt to be in a worshipful connection with God at all times. The more we are experiencing worship.
