Spiritual journey into worship and praise

This traveler has increasingly been led in the spirit to worship and praise.
For about nine months a thirty years old worship and praise church with prophetic messages, divine healing and signs confirming God's words , and demonstrating the power of God, has brought such great revelation about the greatness of God and closeness in reality between God and man.
It has been a really marvelous experience of God's presence. His Kingdom comes. His will be done on earth as in heaven.
-----------
Here are some verses to meditate upon.
The first worship and praise to God recorded in the Bible: it was by a faithful old nameless servant :
Genesis 24:26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD, 27 saying, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”
The first record of a woman (Leah)giving worship and praise to God by naming her sons : 'joined' and 'praise'.
34 Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
35 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.
The first record of a man mightily used by God (Moses ), praising God as a warrior : Exodus 15
“The LORD is my strength and my defense;
2 he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a warrior; 3 the LORD is his name.
Command on why Christians should always worship and praise God : Deuteronomy 8
10 When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.
Pride causes Christians not to praise God :
12 Otherwise ... , 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery...17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”
Praise God for He is the One who has blessed us with every good gifts :
18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
Consequences of not praising God :
19 If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed. 20 Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God.

Leah praised God by naming her son Praise (Judah)

Let there be joy

Let There Be Joy

by Unlisted

1 Let there be joy, let there be peace, let there be power, let there be praise. Let there be joy, joy in the Holy Ghost. It was for freedom that we were set free, let ev'ry mountain be cast to the sea, Let there be joy, joy in the Holy Ghost

2. We will declare it to the heavens, the righ-teous-ness of God in which we stand. We will proclaim it to the nations; ev'ry eye shall see, ev'ry ear shall hear, ev'ry heart will un-der-stand.

3. (Repeat from beginning)

4. Let there be joy, let there be peace, let there be power, let there be praise. Let there be joy, joy in the Holy Ghost. It was for freedom that we were set free, let ev'ry mountain be cast to the sea, Let there be joy, joy in the Holy Ghost

Let there be joy, joy in the Holy Ghost Let there be joy, joy in the Holy Ghost ( a little slower)

in the power of signs and wonders

Romans 15:18-20 . 18 For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, 19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man’s foundation;

Re-Launching

My utmost for His Highest June 8th excerpts

If you do not cut the moorings , God will have to break them by a storm n send u out. Launch all on God , go out on the great swelling tide of His purpose , n you will get your eyes open .

If you believe in Jesus , you are not to spend all your time in the smooth waters just inside the harbor bar, full of delight , but always moored; you have to get out through the harbor bar into the great deeps of God n begin to know for yourself , begin to have spiritual discernment .

Revise where u have become stodgy spiritually.. You knew you should do but you did not do. Now u have no perception , no discernment.

The counterfeit of obedience is a state of mind in which you work up occasions to sacrifice yourself ; ardour is mistaken for discernment .

It is easier to sacrifice yourself than to fulfill your spiritual destiny , which is stated in Romans 12:1-2. Better to fulfill the purpose of God than perform great act of self sacrifice. To obey is better than sacrifice.
----------what a just in time reminder !
Let's know when to launch out , to where n for whose purpose.
