An understanding of praise and worship will set you into a deeper relationship with God and many battles fought on your behalf in the heavenlies. The sad thing in the church is that many are casualties without a clue at all what hit them. There are not even aware of the warfare we are involved in. KJV The contention or misunderstanding in Jerusalem was settled in regards to the gentile church being called to praise and worship God almighty.
The scripture gives an illustration that whilst we are involved in many other forms of services unto the LORD the major and primary calling is to worship Him. Colossians , For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: KJV Revelation 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.
KJV The reason or purpose for your existence is to worship and glorify our heavenly father. Christians who have discovered and understood the dynamics of praise and worship have experienced liberty and victory in almost every area and situation in their lives. They are benefits to worship and we are going to look closely into some practical aspects that will help us become 5 worshipers unto God.
What was going on in the Tabernacle of David? If God is rebuilding the Tabernacle through the gentile church, what was it like? Is the Lord rebuilding a real Tabernacle or spiritual one? David was an Old Testament king living in the New Testament realities.
Everything David did showed a clear understanding of the coming king Jesus. David understood that God was setting up a new order of worship, the one not based on outward rudiments, but a heart that desires God.
David understood the power of praise and worship. The ark had been captured by the Philistines and David desired to get it back. In fact the ark caused more trouble amongst the Philistines to the extent they decided to send it back to Israel. However, not fully in its rightful place King David was concerned. And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
Remember the ark represents the manifest presence of God. However, David did not do it according to the pattern that the Lord intended. This resulted in the death of Uzzah, who tried to stop the cart from falling and the Lord struck him. After temporally putting the ark in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, David later appointed Levites and correctly brought the ark to Israel.
What was contained in the Tabernacle and the Ark? Hebrews Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. With shouting Psalms , But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Psalms , O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. With the sound of trumpets Musical Instruments used for worship are numerous and continue to develop. I have included here musical instruments that have developed from biblical times. Inclusion of various instruments enhances the worship experience, bringing depth into the music. With leaping and dancing.
Praise to our heavenly Father must involve the above mentioned expressions. David changed the formalities and rituals done in the Tabernacle of Moses into a liberated way of worship involving body gestures, music, and instruments.
It was spontaneous and uninhibited. This was the first shift into the new order of worship. The church has been called to depict both naturally and spiritual this way of worship. You are that temple the LORD is building. The Tabernacle is no longer a house made of bricks and stone, but it is us that the LORD is building. We are the temple. The Tabernacle speaks of all that Christ has done for us.
It was also a shadow or picture of the progression as we Praise and Worship our God culminating into His presence. In the Tabernacle, the outer court represents the flesh, which is desires, preferences, and hindrances towards God. The outer court is a place of confession, salvation, crucifixion of the flesh and sanctification from the filthiness of the flesh.
From then on, we move into the Holy Place where we are fed, nurtured in the word and filled with the Holy Spirit that enables us to worship in spirit and in truth. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
Michal expounded that King David had been glorious, meaning he acted, magnificently, wonderfully, outstanding, celebratory. She obviously was mocking his behavior and the WAY he danced. His actions in worship had deep spiritual implications in the heavenlies. Strongholds were dethroned and spiritual forces disconcerted.
Worship is the most instant direct way of connecting and experiencing God. Psalms , But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel. KJV God shows up when we praise and worship Him. He comes by His Spirit and inhabits, that is to live, occupy and reside in our midst. When the presence of the LORD comes, the devil flees and burdens removed. The manifest presence of the Lord is the anointing released through worship.
It has nothing to do with vocal or musical abilities, though that carries an awesome added advantage. Psalms He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most 13 High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
KJV Instead of sending the army to defend and fight the insurgents, King Jehoshaphat assembled worshipers. As they sang praises, the LORD dealt a heavy blow against their enemies. The Lord fought for Israel through the power of praise and worship. The singers were ahead in front of the army. This was not a dream but a real situation taken care of by a group of singers and musicians. Praise and worship is spiritual warfare.
God in His wisdom has decided to use our worship unto Him to be a tool against demonic strongholds. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Praise ye the LORD. KJV I. Sing a new song. It is the song of the moment. This is unrehearsed Holy Ghost inspired new song. The new song can be a prayer and answer; it can be a prophetic word or interpretation to a song sung in the spirit tongues.
Rejoice Praise and worship involves your emotions. The Lord encourages us to rejoice. Rejoicing advocates action, not a somber mood or fearful trepidation from God the Father. To rejoice is to celebrate, cheer, exult, delight, express joy, and be glad, In some Christian circles worship is more or less whispers and hashed tones, which we could define probably as meditations.
Dance A lot has been said about dance, what is acceptable, and what is not. KJV 17 What kind of dancing would make one despised or Page ashamed? It was an uninhibited dance coming from deep sense of joy and gladness.
Sing with Instruments Instruments enhance and uplift our worship experience. There is an anointing that is released when instrument accompany singers, played by anointed musicians. You must understand that musical instruments are part of spiritual warfare. Salvation The Lord beautifies the meek with salvation. People experience the new birth; Christians protected and delivered from calamities that might befall them.
