Capacity to Worship God
I just want to share something that I believe is a relevant reflection as The Holy Spirit is saying to me, “A man can only worship God to the capacity of how much he knows Him!”
That’s what I heard in my Spirit…
Saints, do we really KNOW the God we serve? He’s calling us to: “Know Him!”
There is no way we can truly worship the Most High without knowledge of who He is in all His fullness — and this knowledge does not come by intellect, nor by tradition, but by revelation through His Spirit.
“You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” John 4:22-24.
Worship begins with the unveiling of God’s character His holiness, mercy, justice, wrath, glory, faithfulness, and unfathomable love.
You cannot love whom you do not know, and you cannot worship whom you have not encountered.
The Apostle Paul prays in Ephesians 1,
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.” Ephesians 1:17.
“But as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him’ these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.” Philippians 3:10.
Paul’s cry here is not the desire of a new believer but of a seasoned apostle. This shows us that no matter how much we grow, there is always more of God to discover.
I believe this is the depth of intimacy The Father is calling His people into in this hour. Not mere theology and religious routine, not surface devotion, but a soul-piercing encounter with the knowledge of who He is in glory, in suffering, in resurrection power, and in Holy Love.
Shalom
