The Heart of Worship is to ‘Behold’ Him
Yes, lets take the time to behold Him, for He is Truly Holy Forever!
Let’s slow down just a little this morning… let’s get back to the very heart of worship.
It is to know Jesus Christ intimately!
To know anyone we must spend time with them conversing.
Do we not think our God who created the universe, all things and us longs to have fellowship with us?
This is a song and lyrics that I believe God is using today to bring our hearts back to worship.
Please take the time to play.
Shhh… a whisper even… stillness… in the silence and being still before a Holy God, hear what He is still speaking to us today.
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
The LORD is certainly Holy!!
Let’s take the ‘Time’ to behold Him!
When we approach The Throne of God let us approach boldly, but surely not arrogantly…
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
We should know our true identity is only in Jesus Christ, not ourselves or in others.
We can identify through His sufferings.
Let me clearly speak this here:
If you have no Cross to carry, you have no real Christian walk!
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26
So, might we not see the true beauty of holiness as we sit and know Him and not just about Him?
Why do we think the Angels cry Holy, Holy? Ponder on that.
When we Worship Him we must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth!
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24
We must be also a ‘Separate’ called out people. We should be separated unto true holiness but never as ‘Holier than thou’.
“Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.” Isaiah 65:5
Then we are no better than the Scribes and Pharisees.
Yes He is Holy Forever!!
We must behold Him high and lifted Up!
Remembering always, we are seated with Christ in heavenly places.
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6
God bless you all.
“And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Revelation 4:8-11

My name is Joyce D. McGuire, called to work in and for the Kingdom of God! To lead we must try to follow Jesus Christ closely. That is my heart. I am a Chaplain to the prisons; prophetic intercessor by His grace; author; and a Mother in the Kingdom of God. To many I am simply Mama Joyce. Some favorite verses of mine are Matthew 11:28-30.
Ms Jenny, I so thank you for coming by and for the comment.
I am sure you have imparted much to a lot of people. I agree wholeheartedly about reaching the little children at a early age.
Thank you again beautiful lady! Big hug and bleesings. Joyce
This touched me so deeply. I was also crying the whole way through reading this! It is all the musings of my heart and the longings of my heart for the Body of Christ to become true worshippers – to know Him by spending time in the secret place with Him, – to know Him not just know lots of things about Him. So often our children are taught about Him, and not shown how to see Him and meet with Him. My heart is especially drawn to children, and particularly up to the age of 5 when they are still so receptive to hearing from Him, seeing Him and experiencing Him. Like you I am a prophetic intercessor, but firstly, a worshipper. Thank you for inspiring me to press into the Lord for breakthrough in this area! I am now 83 .
