The Heart of Worship (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735546490)

To delve into the act of worshipping God, a believer in Christ Jesus must realize two important things: One, you were created by the Almighty God to behold Him, and two, you are the new temple, or dwelling, where the worship of this Almighty God takes place. The act of worship begins with this realization because the flesh resists true encounters with God, and the mind often resists the truth a believer was created to encounter - the holiness and glory of the all-powerful, perfect God of Heaven and Earth.
To know the heart of worship is to the know the heart of God. Throughout the Bible, God reveals Himself as a Father. He created a family for Himself, and He deeply desires this family to know Him: His ways, His thoughts, His actions, and even His kingdom. Jesus, who is the Son of God, revealed the Almighty as Father. Everything Jesus did, taught, or spoke was to open our eyes to the Father in Heaven. Therefore, as a man of God, everything Jesus did was unto to the Father as an act of worship to Him, giving us the example of what true worship looks like. True worship is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind in everything you do as a believer in Christ.
In the Body of Christ, we are told to gather together frequently, and not to neglect it, but instead continue to come together in remembrance of Christ, for teaching, prophesy and exhortation. These gatherings over time became known as times of "worship". They are not the only times a believer should worship, but instead be an addition to their personal, daily walk of encountering God in their bodily temple of worship. This book teaches about several facets of worship, both for the individual and within the corporate setting. In this book are several sections explaining the various facets of the Father's heart that believers will encounter in worship. As you begin to know the heart of the Father, you inevitably want to worship Him more. The more you worship Him, the more of His heart you will encounter and the more of who He is you will behold. These "beholding encounters" take you to places in the heart of God as He chooses to reveal them. Each of these facets of worship are like "rooms" within the heart of God.
A previously published book explores worship in the throne room of God. This book will give the believer understanding in how to worship God in His healing presence, His divine romance, His prophetic, and in His quiet stillness. Ultimately, this book will take you deeper into the magnificent purpose of worship: to know and to glorify the heart of God.
