The Cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, 
and the Glory of GOD filled the Dwelling.    Exo 40:34    -The Message

                                                                                                      
John 4:23-25
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.  God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

2Ch 5:13-14  The choir and trumpets made one voice of praise and thanks to GOD-- orchestra and choir in perfect harmony singing and playing praise to GOD: Yes! God is good! His loyal love goes on forever! Then a billowing cloud filled The Temple of GOD.  The priests couldn't even carry out their duties because of the cloud --the glory of GOD!-- that filled The Temple of God.

PS 9:1  O Lord, I will praise you with all my heart and tell everyone about the marvelous things you do. I will be glad, yes, filled with joy because of you. I will sing your praises, O Lord God above all gods.

PS 150:5  Hallelujah! Yes, praise the Lord!  Praise him in his Temple and in the heavens he made with mighty power. Praise him for his mighty works. Praise his unequaled greatness.  Praise him with the trumpet and with lute and harp. Praise him with the drums and dancing. Praise him with stringed instruments and horns.  Praise him with the cymbals, yes, loud clanging cymbals.  Let everything alive give praises to the Lord! You praise him! Hallelujah! 

Ps 146:1-2
Praise the Lord! Yes, really praise him!  I will praise him as long as I live, yes, even with my dying breath.

Ps 98:1-2
Sing a new song to the Lord telling about his mighty deeds! For he has won a mighty victory by his power and holiness.

Ps 33:1-3
Let all the joys of the godly well up in praise to the Lord, for it is right to praise him.  Play joyous melodies of praise upon the lyre and on the harp.  Compose new songs of praise to him, accompanied skillfully on the harp; sing joyfully.
Our heart is to disciple, impart and release the body of Christ into full expression of worship.  We are excited to have generations on our worship team.  We have members from young teens to adult.  In our house we offer freedom of expression in the dance, flags, ribbon dancers, drawing and banners.  We endeavor to move with the Holy Spirit and allow Him to lead our worship.  As we move into the flow of the spirit there comes the release of the prophetic song, the new song, in instrument and voice.  Join us and enter into His presence.

Worship, Intercession and the Prophetic are connected.  You can't have one without the other.  Living a lifestyle of worship is what Christ called us to when He said; "The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him."  As a people we tend to think that worship is only when we gather in church with the worship team or choir and sing psalms and hymns, or at home with a favorite CD.  Music is only one expression of worship.  Creative expression of worship to the Lord is limitless.  Even in doing our daily chores we can worship in the deepest of ways.  Keep Him before us, and in all we do emulate Christ.  We cannot separate ourselves from the Lord as we go about our daily business, He must be in all things.  We are called to love one another, we are measured by that.  Worship is an expression of love, we worship Him by how we love and treat others.  In that we are all called to worship, we all must give Him all that we are and all that we have.  When coming into a corporate worship setting within the church it is important for each of us to take that step into the Throne Room.  The worship team is only a vehicle, you have the keys and can either enter into His presence or remain sitting in the church, you can either just sing a song or enter into the place that he beckons us to.  Remember, it's all about Jesus, not how you feel or what's going on around you.  Worship, like love isn't always a feeling, but is always a decision.  He offers refreshing, healing, restoration, love, joy and a multitude of things that are right before us.  Taste and see that the Lord is good and His loving kindness lasts forever.
