Wings of Worship



There was an old classic written by the late Merlin Carothers called "Power in Praise."  In this wonderful book, he shares that praising in the midst of darkest times can actually transform and translate the situation.  He shared umpteen testimonies of people who saw that change.  A mother first reluctantly started praising God for her daughter's wayward way of life, and in that situation, the daughter in some bar far away started to cry and suddenly wanted a change in her way of life and totally changed.  Praise is needed, day to day, living in praise is powerful and changes us and increased our love for God.

Praise differs from worship.  Praise refers to giving God glory for His greatness, might and goodness in connection to His deeds and acts, the nature He created and the wonders He does.

Worship is different.  It is adoration of the Lord.  We just adore the Lord and love Him with no connection to any of His deeds or wonders or creation.  In that deep rich adoration, we are transported into the Holies of Holies and see the Lord, overcome by His Glory and just maybe even fall amazed to the ground.  There sometimes are no words in the Holy of Holies.  It is in the Holy of Holies that God can meet us in a new dimension and fill our hungry souls.  In the Holy of Holies, we are not asking, not seeking, not knocking.  It is still and quiet, but very powerful, like a roaring waterfall cascading around us.

In that meeting with the Lord, He transports on those Wings of Worship to walk on a new plane, the Highway of Holiness and when we walk out of that secret worship place, we are equipped with a new power from the Lord, and we have the privilege to walk on the Highway of Holiness where no demon or unclean thing has the power to touch us.

We can only worship God in Spirit and in Truth.  We need to have the life of Christ in us to enable pure worship, because Jesus is the Truth and the Spirit within us is the Holy Spirit given to us at Salvation.

Psalm 96:9 "Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness" literally means worship Him in the Holy of Holies.

A very great evangelist of our day who has impacted millions in the world shares about this worship he has with the Lord.  He just goes into the Holy of Holies and adores the Lord and in that place, there are no words, no wanting, no asking.  He just loves and adores Jesus and when he comes out of the Holy of Holies, he is transformed.  The people around him feel the Presence of the Lord on his life and know he has been with Jesus.  I do not name this evangelist for certain reasons, but I do recognize that his life has impacted millions.


If we can walk into the closet of worship, just adoring the Lord, asking for nothing, we will have a Divine Encounter  with Him and will come out of the closet of worship, glowing, filled with His presence and the more we have these wonderful worship times with the Lord, we will fly up on the Wings of Worship living on a higher realm even on Earth!
