"God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth" (John 4:24).
Worshpping the Lord - this is to be empowered by the Holy Spirit and grounded in the Holy Scriptures. Where would be without the Holy Spirit? Without the Holy Spirit, our worship is empty. It is worship in words only. There is no power in worship without the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. In our worship, we must always pray that the Holy Spirit will draw near to us and fill our hearts, minds, our words and lives with true praise to God. Where the Holy Spirit, there will be attentive listening to the Word of God. Without the Word of God, where would we be? We need the Word of the Lord to teach us the way of the Lord - for believing and for living. Through His Word, the Lord reveals Himself to us. When God Himself draws near to us, the teaching is more than the word of man. It is God, speaking to us, calling us to faith, obedience and love - faith that is learning to trust Him, obedience that is learning to walk with Him and love that is bringing to Him the song of joy that arises from our hearts as we think about the greatest love of all - His love for us.
