For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, in order to keep you from doing whatever you want.
Why does worship touch us so greatly? Because our spirit has knowledge of the worship of God in heaven.
You say how? Simple, your spirit came from God, it was created in heaven. Your spirit soul and body, you have a spirit, and a soul, who lives in a body. The soul is who you are.
The devil is a created being, he knows what heaven is like, he too has been there. Forever banished from the Prescence of God, the devil desires the worship of man.
Why does he desire to be worshipped? He believes he is greater than the creator.
When you are born again, that is Born of the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit will lead you to the depths of His life. The old framework cannot comprehend. The flesh will totally seal you out of the Presence.
Worship is Pursuit. I ask you will you Pursue with me? Will you go past the barriers of the flesh?
Worship must be done in Spirit and in truth.
Worship is reserved for pursuit
This is crucial to understand, being withheld from his Presence implies distance, punishment, secrecy.
“Reserved” implies: readiness, maturity, trust.
God does not tease His servants.
I had a dream the other night, and in the dream, I heard the Holy Spirit. He was speaking a language I didn’t have understanding of. That’s not denial, but rather an invitation to pursue.
What I heard was not encrypted, it was unripe for your present framework.
Like seed in the ground: fully alive, fully present, not yet visible.
Not withheld from,
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
Is breaking off the natural man and stepping into the unseen realm where angels enjoy? I have seen the gates of heaven in my dreams. The angels walk the streets of heaven. They have access to that realm, our spirit comes from that realm, Breakthrough worship is your spirit remembering what heaven is.
Your spirit has a memory of heaven your mind doesn’t comprehend.
The spirit of God will take you “beyond intellect, beyond doctrine, beyond familiar language”
“The Father is seeking such to worship Him…”
Why it matters: Worship isn’t optional it’s desired by God Himself. True worship creates meeting places.
One encounter in true worship can do what years of instruction cannot.
Worship brings us face to face with God and no one leaves unchanged.
(Acts 16:25–26) “At midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns, suddenly there was a great earthquake…”
Why it matters: Worship broke chains, opened doors of the prison so no longer would that jail house anyone else.
Worship converted a jailer… not just him but his whole house. One Worship moment altered multiple lives.
Exodus 3:1–12 Burning bush experience
“Moses hid his face… for he was afraid to look upon God.”
Why it matters:
A shepherd became a deliverer in one holy encounter.
Worship redefined Moses’ entire life trajectory.
Worship Reassigns direction in life (identity & calling)
(Isaiah 6:1–8) Isaiah said:
“I saw the Lord… high and lifted up…
Then I said: ‘Woe is me!’ …
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying ‘Whom shall I send?’”
Isaiah said “Here am I! Send me.”
Why it matters:
One worship encounter exposed Isaiah.
The fire from the Alter cleansed Isaiah, commissioned Isaiah
He went in a prophet; he came out sent.
The old framework you carry will hinder your worship.
Why do people pass out in the Spirit? Because they became witness consciousness.
You are being allowed to observe what your flesh could not interfere with.
When God does away with the old framework, he is bringing you into a realm of instruction. Yielding to God and His instructions is consenting to the Spirit world.
When the framework yields the Spirit, you are not losing control…
you are being relieved of it.
