Heart of Worship

I’ve been learning about the heart of worship. Learning what it looks like for my life to be completely in a place of worship. 

I have found myself, Day after day, just wanting to worship the Lord. He’s given me this deep longing to see Him and to be held by Him. I just want to seek His Face by worshiping Him! 

I’ve learned, that worship is where I set aside my problems and the things I’m going through, to fully submit to the Lord. Worship is simply worshiping Him because He is good, He is beautiful , His love is never ending, and above all else, I want to be with Him, and he wants us to be with Him. 

When I step into worship I’m stepping into a place where the Spirit is alive and moving. I’m expecting Holy Spirit to move in radical ways. I want my heart to be open to hear what He’s saying and walk in obedience. Walking in obedience can look multiple different ways; prayer, praises, healings, prophesy, words from the Lord; whatever He has I want to be willing to fully give and receive. 

This past November I was asked to become one of the worship coordinators for my squad. My job is to lead and organize worship for our squad. As I’ve walked down this path of stepping into a worship leader position, the Lord has shown me what it looks like to stop caring about what people think while still aiming for excellence.  

In the past, I was so worried about how my voice sounded, how good the songs were, and if everything was on pitch. While these things are very good, He’s been showing me that it doesn’t matter how I sound. Jesus just wants my worship and my praise… He just wants me. 

There’s a song called Fresh Fire by Maverick City Music. In it, their’s a place where Brandon Lake sings,

“a man on fire doesn’t care what he sounds like, doesn’t care what he looks like” 

Theses words really hit me. 

I’m tired of caring about how I sound. My father loves my voice and that’s enough. The creator of the entire universe Loves my voice…That’s sick! I’m going to give Him all the praises, and dance with full joy, because He’s so good. 

Here’s a couple testimonies from this past week. 

This past Monday we had an all squad worship night. As I was praying about what to do, God said,

“speaker worship. Be together as a squad, unified as one. There’s no need for a leader tonight. Let me lead and expect me to move.” 

So that’s what we did! It was a beautiful time where we all came together and gave one another words of encouragement and love. Our corporate worship became so much more corporate. No one was privately worshipping. We came together as one body, as the church, to build each other up, and above all things, to worship our Father. As we began to worship, we eventually began facing one another in a circle. It was like we were all seeking the Lords face. Eventually, we start seeing the Lords face through each other, because the Spirit of God dwells in us. 

As I stepped into worship Thursday morning before session, I asked the Lord what he said about this place and he said, “this is holy ground and I am here” immediately that hit me. My thought was, “The Lord is here; what would I be doing if Jesus was physically in this place.”   So I got on my knees to worship Him. I then began to look around to find my savior because I just wanted to see Him. As I looked to my left, right, front, and back..I saw him! 

I can see Christ in each and every one of my brothers and sisters. For he dwells within us. Seeking his face is loving the people around, for Christ dwells within them. 

Thank you Jesus 

So the next time you enter into worship ask the Lord what he wants to do in this time. Begin to seek his face and expect Holy Spirit to move.
