Tim is an inspirational teacher who has authored several books. He operates as a Prophet / Seer. He has visited heaven on four different occasions in three decades and has numerous encounters with angels. He has seen the blood of the Lamb on the altar in heaven and the Lamb's Book of Life. While in heaven in 2008 God gave Tim books, scrolls and manuscripts to read where Tim gained insight into the mysteries and secrets of God. He was also given an "et" (a writing instrument) and was instructed to write on parchments. God gave him the name: "The King's Scribe." God said: "You will write for Me." In 2019 while in heaven again God gave him the name: "Ambassador of the Lamb." Jesus said to him: "Never again will you represent yourself but you will represent Me and only Me as My Ambassador." The Lamb of God said to him: "I'm in heaven and you're on earth. Be My hands and feet and mouthpiece. Feed and take care of My little lambs. They are precious to Me. I paid for them with My life and My every drop of blood. Tell them about My scars and the price that I paid for them. Tell them about My deep love for them." Tim wept.

The Beginning #1.

"But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." (John 4: 23 – 24.)

Heaven contains original blue prints that we are to duplicate down here on earth. Our assignment is to duplicate on the earth according to the divine pattern that is in heaven. Jesus taught us to pray this way: "Your kingdom come, your will be done in earth as it is in heaven." We call this prayer the Lord's Prayer or the Model Prayer. So, what will happen if we have a false reality of what heaven is like? We will simply establish a false duplicate down here on the earth.

When I first discovered what true worship really is, I realized that I wasn't worshiping. I wasn't worshiping the Father in spirit and in truth like Jesus had said that we are to do. The truth is: I wasn't worshiping God at all. I thought I was but I wasn't. I wasn't worshiping the way that God wanted to be worshiped. The ancient prophet said: "My people perish for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4: 6.) I was perishing for lack of knowledge because I didn't know what worship was.

I remember a pastor friend of mine once saying: "What you don't know won't harm you! What you don't know will kill you!"

I've written this book to educate and encourage the body of Christ to worship God the Father in spirit and in truth. Worship is one of the many protocols of heaven. The Father is SEEKING worshipers. He seeks a worshiper. Let me rephrase that: God will chase you down and find those who are worshiping Him. In other words: God will find you when you are worshiping. It's like honey to a bee. Where there is honey you will find a bee. Where there's a worshiper you will find God the Father. True worship attracts Him. God will chase you down and show up when you worship.

I believe that the reason why so few people are found by God or receive a touch from God is because they don't know how to worship. They don't know how to attract God and move Him towards them. When we do something that God enjoys to be done to Him, He will chase you down and show up.

When we practice proper authentic worship, we will practice the presence of God and God will show up on the scene. The Father will manifest Himself when we worship in the way that He intends us to worship Him. He cannot NOT manifest Himself when we worship Him, as it's what attracts Him. He is addicted to it! It's the language of heaven.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when one practices this protocol of worship, God will show up and find them where they are. If you're in trouble and you worship in this manner God will find you in your trouble and bring you comfort and calm the raging seas in your life. This is how powerful this true worship is. God the Father will manifest Himself when one worships because He is SEEKING worshipers. It's His addiction. He chases after it! Remember what I said: "It's like honey to a bee. If you find honey you will find bees." Where there is worship you will find God. He shows up at the place (the altar) of worship because it's His language.

Everything in heaven worships God. I've seen a Seraph (an angel with six wings) worship before the Throne of God. He fell on his face before the Throne, covering himself with his three sets of wings and cried out in a loud voice: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty – who was and is and is to come." It was an awesome sight to behold.

If we are to establish on this earth what is in heaven, then we need to know what true authentic worship is like in heaven.

Let's establish on this earth the protocol of worship that is practiced in heaven - on earth as it is in heaven.

"Insults have broken my heart. And I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters but I found none." (Psalm 69: 20.)

This is a messianic Psalm of David which is prophetic about the death of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. According to this Psalm Jesus died of a broken heart. The original Hebrew language implies that: "Insults have caused my heart to burst within me!" The heart of Jesus burst within His chest because of being forsaken and abandoned by His Father. The weight of our sin upon Him and the rejection of His Father caused His heart to explode in His chest. Our hearts will also burst within us if God the Father had to abandon us. But worship will attract Him. The Father chases down a worshiper. It attracts Him just like honey to a bee.

It's supposed to be His will in earth as it is in heaven and not our will. We must align ourselves with heaven's will for our lives and not try and manipulate heaven to conform to our will and what we want! We are supposed to bring heaven down here and not take our pathetic agendas up there for approval.

Jesus, the Master only did what He saw His Father in heaven doing. He Himself said: "The Son can do nothing of Himself. He can only do what He sees His Father doing." (John 5: 19.) He did on the earth what He saw His Father in heaven doing. It was a matter of, in earth as it is in heaven. We were designed to leave heavens fingerprints all over this earth and not our own.

The Origins of Worship #2

Let me not waste time by telling you what worship isn't. Instead I'm going to enlighten you to the truth with what true worship is - the worship that the Father chases down. One of the many things that I've learned is that God doesn't criticize his children. He simply shows us the truth and we then decide if we want to walk in it or not.

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it.'" (Isaiah 30:21.)

I'm not on this earth to criticize the Church of Jesus Christ. The price that He paid to purchase His bride was extremely costly. He poured out every drop of his own blood on a cruel cross to buy her. It was far too great a price for me to become a critic of her. I saw this precious blood upon the altar in heaven. I was given the undeserving honor to touch His eternal scars and wounds which is His eternal reminder of the price that He paid for His bride. My assignment from my Father in heaven is to bring His bride to maturity, so she can fulfill her purpose and destiny in the earth and not run her down. I'm here to build her up and not to break her down. She is precious to Him and therefore precious to me.

Our heavenly Father will always direct us with His small still voice: "This is the way, walk in it. This is the truth about me and my kingdom, walk in it."

If you are a Praise and Worship Leader, then it's of the utmost importance that you read this book. Once you discover what true worship is then I recommend that you incorporate it into your personal prayer life and quiet times. I also encourage pastors to begin to introduce this ancient practice of worship from the Bible to their congregations.

I will try to keep this book as an educational resource as much as possible without over elaborating and turning it into a story. If it seems that a verse of Scripture is out of place, then please bear with me, because it will be explained somewhere in this book. I took my sermon notes and attempted to convert them and adapt them into this book for the benefit of the Church of Jesus Christ, His Bride that I'm so passionate about and that He loves so deeply.

"There arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we are: Come let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when war breaks out, they join our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Therefore, they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour. And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives. And he said, when you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the BIRTHING STOOLS; if it be a son, then you shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live." Exodus 1: 8 – 16.

We all know this story in the Bible very well. We teach this story to our kids in our Sunday school classes. When the Hebrew woman gave birth upon the birthing stools; and it was a man child, if it was a son it was put to death; while the little baby girls, the daughters were allowed to live.

Pharaoh was cruel and lived in the fear that if the Israelite's joined allies with Egypt's enemies they would over power them and defeat them in battle. So when a Hebrew woman gave birth to a son, the child was put to death as ordered by Pharaoh. By reducing the male population, Pharaoh would diminish the threat of a future army being built up against him.

Pharaoh, who is a type of the devil in the Bible has always been fearful of the Seed of the Woman. He has always been terrified of the birth of the man child, because it was the future man child that was going to crush the head of the serpent.

"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." (Genesis 3: 15.)

This is what God said to the serpent in the Garden of Eden when He cursed him to crawl upon his belly for the rest of his life. The serpent knew that the seed of the woman was going to crush his head. We saw the fulfillment of this when Jesus was crucified upon the cross. The nails through his feet caused his heels to become bruised as he lifted himself up to breathe while suspended upon the cross. Jesus was crucified on Mount Calvary which is called the place of the skull. The cross came down upon the head of the serpent and crushed his skull while the heels of Jesus were bruised.

What is the Father seeking? What will the Father chase down?

"But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4: 23-24.

The Father is seeking worshipers. He will chase down a worshiper. The Bible tells us to look to Abraham our father as he was the perfect example to us of what faith is.

"Look to Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him." (Isaiah 51:2.)

Abraham is the perfect example to us of faith. God blessed him and increased him because of his faith. The Bible says that he didn't stagger at the promises of God and that he hoped against hope. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping – believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God said to him:

"That's how many descendants you will have!" and Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though, at about a hundred years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead – and so was Sarah's womb. (Romans 4: 18 – 19.)

When it came time to sacrifice his son, the son whom he loved, his faith was so strong that he believed that God would raise Isaac back from the dead.

"By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall your seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure." (Hebrews 11:19.)

The faith of Abraham was so strong that he knew that if he killed his son, God would have raised him back to life again. This is why the Bible encourages us to look to Abraham as our example of faith.

However, we see that before Abraham could give BIRTH to the promises of God he had to learn a valuable spiritual principle. Abram (who later became Abraham) journeys through life for twenty-four years, after God first made the promise to him, without any fulfillment to that promise. God had made a promise to him twenty-four years earlier and he sees no movement towards or any signs of the fulfillment of those promises that God had made to him.

God said that he was going to have an heir, a son, and yet after twenty-four years, there is still nothing. Abram even tried to help God to fulfill the promise through the flesh. His wife Sara gave him her servant Hagar to be his second wife and she gave BIRTH to a son, that they called Ishmael, who was now a potential heir.

Abram had to learn to do something first for him to give BIRTH to the promises of God in his life. For twenty-four years we see nothing, no fulfillment of the promise that God made to him. Then suddenly, in a single moment we see a change, from nothing, to fulfillment in a year. Now let's not forget! Let's remember that it takes a woman nine months before giving birth from the time of conception. So we can realistically say that the fulfillment came in just three months after Abraham did this one thing before God.

When Abram did this one thing, everything changed. Everything shifted in his favor when he learned this spiritual principle. After he did this one thing, God chased him down and Sarah conceived and bore him the son of promise. God literally chased him down after he did this one thing and fulfillment of the promises were birthed.

Just prior to this new encounter that Abraham did for the first time; Abram's name was change from Abram, which means exalted father, to Abraham, which means father of many nations. Before this new single event we see Abraham circumcised which is a sign of the cutting away of the flesh and no longer walking according to the flesh or according to human effort.

Abram, God's promises cannot be accomplished in your life while you are an EXALTED father, while SELF is exalted. For God rejects the proud, He rejects those who have exalted themselves, but He gives grace to the humble.

"God resists (rejects) the proud, but gives grace unto the humble." (James 4:6.) "He (God) has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of low degree." (Luke 1: 52.)

God was literally saying: "Abram, you cannot give BIRTH to the promises of God while you still walk according to the flesh." You see flesh gives BIRTH to flesh while Spirit gives BIRTH to Spirit.

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the spirit is spirit." (John 3: 6.)

God made a universal law in creation in that everything produces according to its own kind. (Genesis 1: 11-12.) One cannot give birth to a spiritual promise while walking according to the flesh. Only spirit can give birth to spirit – same kind. Abraham does something that we have never seen him do before. He does something different after twenty-four years of unfulfilled promises. He did something for the first time.

In business there is a saying: "You cannot continue to do what you are doing and expect a different result!" In other words, one has to do something differently to get a different result. One has to break out of the familiar and the monotony of one's daily routine and go for broke by doing something different. One must do what they have never done before to get a different result. Abraham does this.

"And he (Abraham) lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold three men stood beside him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and BOWED himself (Hebrew word H7812) toward the ground." (Genesis 18: 2.)

Abram BOWS himself down towards the ground. He did something that he had never done before. This is the first time we see this word mentioned in the Bible. It doesn't appear anywhere else prior to this. It's what scholars call the first mention principle. This first mention principle now continues as a spiritual principle throughout the entire Bible.

Hebrew word H7812 – Bowed himself.

shâchâh

A primitive root; to depress, that is, prostrate (especially reflexively in homage to royalty or God): - bow (self) down, crouch, fall down (flat), humbly beseech, do (make) obeisance, do reverence, make to stoop, worship.

We see that Abram fell on his face and talked with God prior to this but it isn't the same Hebrew word.

"And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him." (Genesis 17:3.)

When Abram fell on his face (Hebrew word H5307) in this incidence, God spoke to him and changed his name from Abram to Abraham. Again Abram had never done something like this before. This was the first time that he had done this before Creator. Abraham is then circumcised. Remember that circumcision is symbolic of the cutting away of the flesh and no longer walking according to the flesh. No human effort added.

Hebrew H5307 - Fall

nâphal

A primitive root; to fall, in a great variety of applications (intransitively or causatively, literally or figuratively): - be accepted, cast (down, self, [lots], out), cease, die, divide (by lot), (let) fail, (cause to, let, make, ready to) fall (away, down, -en, -ing), fell (-ing), fugitive, have [inheritance], inferior, be judged [by mistake for H6419], lay (along), (cause to) lie down, light (down), be (X hast) lost, lying, overthrow, overwhelm, perish, present (-ed, -ing), (make to) rot, slay, smite out, X surely, throw down.

Abraham then takes this falling on his face to a whole new level in the next chapter and he becomes the first man to worship God. What was the difference between these two acts by Abraham? On both occasions he fell down on his face before God. The one was seen as worship and the other not. The same act yet a different result. We see both these Hebrew words appear in the same verse of Scripture in the story of Job.

"Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell (Hebrew word H5703 - nâphal) down upon the ground, and worshiped." (Hebrew word H7812 - shâchâh).

(Job 1:20)

Job fell down upon the ground before God just like Abram did at first. Then the Bible suggests that he proceeded to worship afterwards. What was the difference? I'm hoping that by the end of this book that you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt what the difference is between the two.

We see the word for worship appear again in Genesis 19 verse 1.

"And there came two angels to Sodom at evening; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself (Hebrew word H7812 - shâchâh) with his face toward the ground."

Lot BOWS down to the ground and puts his face in it and God calls it worship. Where did Lot learn how to worship? Who taught him how to bow down to the ground and plant his face in it and the Bible calls it worship? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think Abraham did. He imparted the knowledge on how to manifest the promises of Creator. He taught Lot how to have God chase him down. The next time that we see this word appear is in Genesis 22:5 and it appears as the word worship.

"And Abraham said unto his young men, abide here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, (Hebrew word H7812 - shâchâh) and return to you again."

The Father is seeking what? The Father is seeking and chasing down worshipers. Abraham and Isaac were found by God upon that mountain that day because they worshiped. God will show up where there is worship. To kill a ram (a full grown lamb) one has to spread the front legs of the animal, kneel over it while sitting on it and lift up its head and cut its throat. (It was brutal and ugly but it was necessary.) The blood of an animal had to be shed as a substitute, as an exchange of a life for a life.

They would kneel over the animal when making a sacrifice.

I was caught up in the spirit in December 2016 during a time of prayer and fasting and spending time in the Scriptures with a mentor of mine. I saw two visions that day that lasted for an hour and a half. I saw Abraham and Isaac walking up Mount Moriah together with the wood and the fire. Later I watched them wrestle with a ram that was caught by its horns in a thorny thicket. That was the first vision I saw. In the second vision I saw Melchizedek bless Abram and give him bread and wine. I saw Abram give Him a tenth of all the spoils in return.

Abraham bows down in worship, putting his face in the dust of the ground for the first time and a year later Isaac is born, the promise of God is fulfilled. Why?

I'm not going to say it, but I think you guessed it. Yes, God will chase you down when you worship Him. Maybe the reason why the promises of God are not being fulfilled in our lives is because we haven't bowed down and put our face to the ground. We haven't worshiped like Abraham did when he planted his face on the ground and prostrated himself on his knees before God in surrender. It could be that we haven't yielded our will to His will while on our knees and faces, bowing to the ground. We gave God no reason to chase us down. We didn't worship Him!

Bowing down is the placing of oneself in a position of surrender. An ancient warrior would shoot arrows from a weapon that they called a BOW. What is a bow? It is a branch from a tree that has been force to bend into a particular shape so that it can be used as a weapon of war. The branch was made to surrender and yield to a new position. It was forced to bend into a particular shape. God wants to bend and shape us into the image of His Son.

When we bow down on our knees, we don't have our legs to stand on. We are made to bend like the branch to make a bow. Worship is bowing down and is a sign that we are not standing and relying upon our own strength and ability. We are bending in surrender to the will of another. We are yielded. Surrender has become a modern day swearword in our culture and society. People don't want to submit their own will to the will of God in the form of surrender.

We can throw ourselves with our face to the ground as much as we like but it will not be deemed as worship until our will is surrendered to that of another. We can throw spiritual tantrums in Fathers presence and bow to try and bend His mighty arm in our direction. But until we surrender our will and yield; it won't be deemed as worship.

It was when Abraham surrendered his will to the will of God; that it was deemed as worship and the promises were triggered in the realm of the spirit to come into fulfillment. Anyone can throw themselves down on the ground and bury their face in the dust but it only becomes worship when the heart and will is surrendered.

Everything in heaven is submitted and surrendered to God. Everything obeys and bows down in His presence. Angels cover their faces and entire bodies with their many sets of wings and cry out loudly before Him. The will of every heavenly creature is yielded and submitted to Almighty God their creator.

When one bows down prostrate on ones knees one can't walk or run away. We are bound to that fixed position. We can't walk our own walk. Our own walk is surrendered to the will of another. Abraham surrendered his own walk to walk the walk of God. He surrendered walking according to the flesh to now walk according to the spirit. Thus the promises of God came to pass after decades of delay. Spiritual promises were now given birth too by a spiritual act and not by human effort (the flesh).

Worship (bowing down in surrender) is a position of being at the mercy of someone else. Execution killings are still performed in this way today. The victims are made to kneel down in front of their executioners. They are forced to be in the place of surrender, acknowledging their own helplessness and hopelessness and submitting to the rule and authority of another that has taken control over them.

When Abraham acknowledged his own hopelessness and helplessness by not being able to produce spiritual promises by the means of the works of the flesh, it was then when he fell on his knees and buried his face in the dust of the ground. And God called it worship. It's when we come to the end of ourselves; the end of our own human effort; the end of trying to produce spiritual promises according to the flesh. It's at this place of hopelessness and helplessness in our own strength that we surrender to the perfect will of God and yield control of our life over to Him.

This is when we let go and allow God to take over. You will feel hopeless and helpless when you try to produce the promises of the spirit by the efforts of human flesh.

"For the sinful nature is always hostile towards God; it never did obey God's laws, and it never will." (Romans 8: 7.)

The sinful fleshly nature will never obey God's laws. They are opposites. Their seed is different. It's like a farmer who plants watermelon seeds in his field and then expects pumpkins to grow. It will never happen. Watermelon seeds will give you a watermelon harvest. Remember that flesh gives birth to flesh while spirit gives birth to spirit. (John 3: 6.) Don't expect to have a spiritual harvest by sowing seeds according to the flesh. It will never happen.

We have all heard that famous saying: "Coming to the end of yourself is the beginning of God!" Why is this so? Because it's when we become hopeless and helpless in ourselves, in our own human effort is when we surrender our will to the will of God. The flesh finally gives way and yields to the spirit. Now His strength can be made perfect in our weakness.

"And He said unto me, my grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12: 9.)

This is when we will begin to produce according to the spirit because the flesh has been surrendered to the will of God. This is when the weak will begin to say: "I am strong in the strength of the Lord." Why? Because human effort finally realized that it cannot produce a spiritual harvest.

"Beat your plowshares (flesh) into swords (spirit) and your pruning hooks (flesh) into spears (spirit): let the weak (flesh) say, I am strong (spirit)." (Joel 3: 10.)

The plowshares and the pruning hooks is what they used as instruments to break the soil, till the ground, and prune their trees. It is associated with the sweat of the brow and human effort while the swords and spears are associated with warfare and battle. The weak can say I am strong in the strength of the Lord because they no longer attempt to wrestle against flesh and blood. They understand that the battle is spiritual and the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly (carnal) but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

(Ephesians 6:12)

We cannot do battle against spiritual forces and powers through the flesh. Spirit must do battle with spirit and spirit must give birth to spirit. Flesh will never produce according to the spirit. Abraham had to learn this lesson for himself. If you want watermelons to grow in your field, then stop sowing pumpkin seeds. If you want to produce according to the spirit, then stop sowing according to the flesh. God wont chase you down while you are walking according to the flesh.

Abram had to learn this lesson for himself. God had said to Abram, "In blessing, I will bless you."

"That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, (spiritual seed) and as the sand upon the sea shore; (natural seed) and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies." (Genesis 22: 17.)

Abram's biggest mistake was that he thought that he could produce the promises of God through the flesh. First he had to learn how to bless (to kneel).

Hebrew word H1288 - Bless

bârak

A primitive root; to kneel; by implication to bless God (as an act of adoration), and (vice-versa) man (as a benefit); also (by euphemism) to curse (God or the king, as treason): - X abundantly, X altogether, X at all, blaspheme, bless, congratulate, curse, X greatly, X indeed, kneel (down), praise, salute, X still, thank.

God was saying to Abram, in kneeling I will fulfill my promises to you. God was literally saying to him, "I will surrender to you what's mine when you surrender to me who you are."

But it was when Abraham knelt down on his knees to the ground in surrender, that's when God's promises reached their fulfillment. (Genesis 18: 2.) That's when Sarah conceived and the promises of God flooded their lives with joy and laughter. (The name Isaac means laughter.) It was when they surrendered and yielded to the spirit was when they gave birth to the spirit. God chased him down when he worshiped.

Something powerful happens to men and woman who know how to kneel, who know how to bow down in surrender to Almighty God, their Creator in original authentic worship. The promises of God are birthed when men and woman plant their faces in the ground before God and prostrate themselves upon their knees, yielding their entire will in surrender to Him. God chases them down.

God shows up when men and woman bow down in this way, because the Father is seeking worshipers. In the New Testament we see that there is no change to the meaning of the word for worship.

The Greek word G4352 – Worship

proskuneō

From Greek G4314 and probably a derivative of Greek G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): \- worship.

Greek word G4353 - Worshipers

proskunētēs

From Greek 4352; an adorer: - worshiper.

The Father is seeking those who prostrate themselves in homage before Him. He is seeking those who kiss the ground in adoration and do reverence. Who knew that worship would be compared to the loyalty of a dog kissing or licking the hand of its master? Have you ever wondered why a dog kisses or licks the hand of its master?

I couldn't think of a reason either other than the fact that the dog loves its master for simply being its master. Worshipers are not only those who know how to bend and bow themselves to the ground on their faces in surrender of their entire will; but they love the Master for Him just being their Master. A worshiper loves the Father for no other reason than the fact that He is our Father.

I used to pray to the Father to rescue me from all my troubles. I use to cry to Him to save me from my many trials, tribulations and my many sufferings. And believe me, I've suffered. I would echo His Word back in His face demanding that He meets my many needs because that's what He promised through His Word. I was attempting to produce the promises of the spirit through the flesh and my human effort. I was a dog barking at Him instead of just being a loyal dog by licking His hand for no other reason than the fact that He is Father and Creator.

Like Abraham I was on a painful path to discover hopelessness and helplessness. I was on a collision course with spiritual destiny that would set me on a journey of discovering what true authentic worship is. The kind of worship the Father is seeking. I had to learn how to produce honey to attract bees instead of the stench of flesh. I had to learn to produce a beautiful fragrance in the atmosphere of the spirit that would attract the Father. I had to learn how to adore Him for no other reason other than the fact that He is God.

Yes, God is seeking those who bend and crouch towards the ground on their knees and on their faces. A worshiper knows how to surrender their own will and make himself subject to God's rule and authority over them; but when one loves the Father, for Him being the Father; and for no other reason than the fact that He is our Creator and the very reason of our existence. When we blow Him kisses from our heart for Who He IS and not for what we want Him to do for us and get something out of Him, that is true authentic worship.

When we become like little children who kiss the faces of their parents because they are our parents we will win the heart of the Father and He will show up like honey to a bee. He will chase us down. This is true worship. This is the worship that the Father is seeking. This is the honey that will attract the bees.

When last did you worship? I bow down every morning beside my bed in worship before I proceed to make it. It's my morning ritual as I make my bed and give my Father in heaven thanks. I blow Him kisses (and would kiss His face if I could) and I love Him for Him. I make no demands and request nothing from Him. I love Him for Him. When e worship Him in this way like Abraham our ancient forefather did, He shows up and chase us down.

I make a point of asking Him what I can do for Him during my time of worship and then I do what He tells me. It's called obedience. I don't take my needs to Him anymore like I used too. He now finds me as I worship Him for Him and He asks me: "What do you want me to do for you." Then and only then do I tell Him what my needs are; but most of the time He meets my needs since I started practicing the ancient art of worship out of the Bible. He simply sees my desires while I worship Him and He goes ahead without my permission to meet my needs when He sees them.

Before I hear my mentor's voice ringing in my ears that says: "Timmy, prove it from the Bible." (I was taught that Scripture must always interpret Scripture.) A supernatural experience will never contradict the Bible. So, let me prove it out of the Bible that one doesn't have to ask God for something for Him to supply your need.

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37: 4.)

This verse of Scripture doesn't imply anything about asking first. It's a promise that if you delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart. I remember telling the Father that I never asked him for that. He replied: "I saw that it was a need and a desire on your heart." It's like the dad who comes home with a bicycle for the son who never asked him for one. The father saw the need and the desire and because the son is such a pleasure and pleases the father, the father just goes ahead and meets the need without permission.

I find that the morning is a good time to worship as the mercies of the Father are new every morning. The Father loves those who cry for mercy; but that will have to be another book at another time.

God's Generals of Worship #3

In this chapter I'm going to give you some examples out of the Bible of God's generals (that's what I call them) who worshiped on their faces before God, bowing down before Him in surrender. God then proceeded to move on their behalf and rescue them out of their trouble. God chased them down and showed up because worship is to God like honey is to a bee. And where there is honey you are sure to find bees. Where there is a worshiper you will find God the Father. It attracts Him.

If I can say anything about this amazing God that I've had the privilege of standing before in His very Throne, and that is that He has an unstoppable addition. He is addicted to worship. He has a deep passion to walk and commune with His creation. God's addiction began when He created an exact replica of Himself here on earth and called him His son. Adam was His son. God chased him down daily.

"Who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God." (Luke 3: 38.)

Creator created a magnificent being that he called Adam. According to the genealogy of the Bible, Adam was the son of God. Father was addicted to walking with His son and having intimacy with Him. God and His son Adam walked together in the Garden of Eden during the cool of the day and had deep intimate fellowship together.

"And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where are you? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." (Genesis 3:8 – 10.)

It was only when Adam didn't pitch up for his daily walk in the Garden that God went to look for him. God yearned for His son and called out to him: "Where are you?" I believe that God never missed a single day of visitation. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that He never showed up for His daily walk with His son. It was Adam that broke the arrangement by not showing up. He and his wife hid themselves among the trees of the garden, away from God's presence because they ate of the tree that God commanded them not to eat. They were suddenly afraid of Father and avoided being chased down.

Until this event God and Adam communicated on an intimate level. Whatever Adam named the animals is what God also called them. (Genesis 2: 19.) They didn't hide anything away from one another. They were open and honest.

Whenever a person in the Bible worshiped God, God chased them down and showed up and acted on their behalf. Worship attracted Him.

Abraham's Servant.

Abraham's servant learns this principle of worship from Abraham: by bowing down and planting his face in the ground in surrender to the will of God. As Abraham's servant worshiped the God of Abraham, He showed up like bees to honey and chased him down.

"And I bowed down my head, and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son." (Genesis 24: 48.)

"And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth." (Genesis 24: 52.)

I believe that Abraham taught his family (including Lot) and all his servants how to worship God. Abraham's servant has the angel of the Lord go before him and lead him to find a wife for Isaac. God shows up where there is worship. He chases you down.

Maybe you feel like Abram today, where God has given you a promise for your life and your future. He has given you a dream and you haven't seen the fulfillment of it yet. Maybe it's been years or even decades since you received your promise. Then don't you think it's time to bury your face in the ground in surrender and worship.

Don't you think it's time to bend your knee and bow down in worship and yield your will, so that God can bring His promises to pass in your life? Don't you think it's time to surrender your dead flesh to walk in the newness of life in the Spirit? Don't you think it's time to kiss His face because of the mere fact that He IS your Father and that you require nothing from Him? You love Him for Him and not for blessings.

We don't deserve anything from Him anyway! The only thing that we can rightfully demand from Him is death.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6: 23.)

We are all deserving of death. We live in a generation that has a sense of entitlement. They are spoiled and entitled. They are like I was to Father. They demand their rights. According to the Bible you have the right to die. You are entitled to be put to death. Everything else is undeserving or unmerited favor or grace. The only reason why the Father doesn't kill you and me is because of His only Begotten Son. His Son died in our place.

The only thing that we were entitled too from God has been removed and taken out of the way; when His Son was brutally murdered upon a cruel cross instead of us. How can we ever forget the preciousness of the message of the Gospel? Jesus Christ died for our sins upon the cross according to the Scriptures. (1 Cor 15: 4.) Let's not forget that this was the punishment intended for us. It was our death sentence that we were entitled too that He took in our place. We were let go from the judgment and wrath of heavens courts and He took our punishment of death instead.

How can we approach Him with a dogma of entitlement demanding things from Him? Whatever He gives us now is undeserving; it's unmerited favor or grace, but entitlement it is not. Yes, we can come boldly through the blood of the Lamb by a new and living way but this access is to obtain mercy and find grace to help in our time of need and not demand anything from him.

"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having a high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." (Hebrews 10: 19-22.)

Worship is not entitlement. It is surrender. Hey! That's not worship. Demanding and entitlement isn't worship. Yes, the blood has given us access to the Father but we are to come and draw near with a true heart, having our heart sprinkled from an evil conscience. If you think that you are entitled to anything from God, think again. You deserve nothing, but He gives you everything because of the price that His Only Son paid for you upon the cross.

Jesus was torn to pieces because of you and me. His back doesn't have a single strip of flesh left upon it. All of His flesh was removed from His back from a Roman scourging. This is what you were entitled too but God....

The Master took my punishment. He died in my place so that I could become an honored guest at His table in His household. I'm now a member of His family with all the benefits of a family member. Remember that God rejects the proud but give grace (undeserving favor) to the humble. Not only am I a slave but I'm also a son. I serve Him as a son. What an honor. The Father saved me through the sacrifice of His Son to become intimate with me and have a relationship with me; a father son relationship through the protocol of worship.

Let's not forget that flesh gives birth to flesh while spirit gives birth to spirit. Remember that Abram produced Ishmael according to the flesh while God wanted him to produce Isaac according to His promise. It was only when Abraham worshiped by bowing his face to the ground in surrender to God's will that Father caused the promises to come to pass. We want God to chase us down but we don't want to surrender in worship.

When we reach the place in our journey of not having a sense of entitlement to the promises that God has given us and surrender them back to Creator, He will exalt us and bring them to pass. Let's not forget that they are His promises and not ours. He wants to live His life and His dreams through us.

God's General Moses and the children of Israel.

"And the LORD said to Aaron, go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped."

(Exodus 4: 27 – 31.)

The children of Israel worshiped and bowed down before God when they heard the news that God had visited Moses and spoken to him. We all know this story from the Bible. We get taught it when we are kids. (I got taught it when I was a kid.) The children of Israel were physically broken from the severe affliction that Pharaoh had imposed upon them. He had placed harsh task masters upon them to make bricks and to build cities. Maybe the affliction is what ended their reliance upon the flesh, so that by the time Moses showed up from his desert preparation, they embraced the promises of freedom and gave birth to them by the spirit.

They were helpless and hopeless and at the end of themselves. Hopelessness and helplessness is the breeding ground for worship. It's the place where the will of self (flesh) is surrendered to the will of Father (spirit). This is the place where we are forced to bend like a bow when an arrow is placed in its shaft and on its string. This is not the place of breaking but the place of shaping. This is where we bend in the form of yielding and surrender. When our hearts do this our knees and our faces follow automatically and are planted on the ground in worship.

We all know the end of this story. God stretched out His mighty hand and delivered them out of the bondage of Egypt. He afflicted the Egyptians with ten plagues that broke their backs and literally brought them to their knees. We saw their army swallowed up in the sea and the enemy they saw today; they saw no more. When the children of Israel worshiped the Lord, He delivered them from their slavery and bondage.

When the children of Israel worshiped the image of a golden calf in the wilderness, after God had stretched out His mighty arm to deliver them from Egypt, Moses had to intercede on their behalf before the Lord. Moses worships to satisfy the wrath of God.

"And I [Moses] fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which you sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger." (Deuteronomy 9:18.)

When Moses fell down before the Lord in Worship, the wrath of God was turned away from destroying the children of Israel because of their disobedience.

"You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." (Exodus 20: 4 - 5.)

Bowing down and worshiping an image, idol or another god was an iniquity (sin) in the eyes of the Lord God. These sins (iniquities) caused by worshiping something else and bowing down to them rather than Creator, were punished by visiting the sins of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.

God is a jealous God and desires that we bow down and worship nothing else besides Him. Worshiping anything else besides him is an iniquity. Worshiping idols was unfaithfulness to God (their husband) and was therefore adultery and playing the harlot. They were prostituting themselves when they bowed down and worshiped the idol of gold they forged in the fire instead of God.

Maybe today you feel like the children of Israel, a slave in bondage under Pharaoh, who is a type of the devil in the Bible. Then don't you think it's time to bow down and bury your face in the ground in surrender and worship; so that God can take you out of your captivity and bondage and set you free like He did the children of Israel. Maybe the reason why you are still in bondage is because you didn't bow down and surrender your will to God's will in worship.

God's General Jehoshaphat.

This is what God said to Jehoshaphat after he sought the Lord about what to do with regards to the battle.

"Tomorrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and you [Jehoshaphat] shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, standstill, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshiping the LORD......And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endures forever." (2 Chronicles 20:16-21.)

I've heard many sermons over my lifetime as to how and why God gave Jehoshaphat and all of the people of Judah the victory that day. They all claim that it was when Jehoshaphat got those singers to sing. Yes, that is true but I believe that it was when they bowed down and worshiped the Lord, that God showed up, chased them down and gave them the victory in the battle. Creator showed up because He is seeking a worshiper. The "bee" showed up because they covered themselves with honey.

The praise was thanking Him in advance for already giving them the victory because God had already surrounded them because of their worship. They also cried out for mercy in the battle. Something powerful happens when we cry for mercy. We acknowledge that we should have been punished and put to death instead of His Only Begotten Son. We acknowledge that we are undeserving and have no sense of entitlement. Father shows up in the midst of our battle as a man of war and destroys all our enemies when we worship.

Maybe you're in a season like Jehoshaphat where you are overwhelmed by the size of the armies of your enemies that are against you. Then don't you think it's time to bow down and bury your face in the ground in surrender and worship, so that God can go out to war and do battle on your behalf and destroy your enemies that stand before you.

Don't you think it's time to position yourself on your knees and face in worship and watch God show up and do battle on your behalf?

God's General Elijah.

In the Bible we see Elijah bow down in worship before Creator. I believe that this practice was handed down from Abraham to Isaac and Jacob and to the children of Israel. It was handed down from one generation to the next. We already look to Abraham as the father of our faith, but maybe we also need to start looking to him as the father of worship. Elijah knew this ancient practice of worship. I had to go to heaven to learn this ancient art of worship by reading a scroll.

"And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees." (1Kings 18: 42.)

It was when Elijah bowed himself down. It was when he cast himself to the earth and tucked his head between his knees in worship to God when a cloud the size of a man's hand began to appear on the horizon over the sea. It was when he began to worship when God sent an abundance of rain breaking the severe three-and-a-half-year drought. Worshipers are all over the Bible from cover to cover.

When God showed me worship I discovered that I wasn't a worshiper. I discovered that I didn't know how to pray. I was ignorant that heaven wants to come down to earth and invade it. I didn't understand that God is seeking a man who will stand in the breach (gap) and bring heaven down. (Ezekiel 22: 30.) I had to learn that there are more that are for us than those who are against us. I discovered that God has never lost a battle in His own realm (heaven). Everything in heaven is subject to Him and obeys Him. God wants us to establish on this earth exactly as it is in heaven through worship.

Maybe today you feel like you're in a season like Elijah, where you haven't seen heavens rain in your life for several years. Maybe you are so thirsty because you're in a severe drought after many years of having no rain. Maybe you're in a barren and unfruitful place right now. Then don't you think it's time to bow down and bury your face in the ground (between your knees) like Elijah in surrender and worship your God. Then the showers from heaven will rain down and cause your unfruitful desert to bloom once again like the Garden of Eden.

"For the Lord shall comfort Zion. He will comfort all her waste (desert) places. And He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the Lord." (Isaiah 51: 3.)

Don't you think it's time to worship?

God's General Daniel.

Daniel is a fine example of a man who knew how to pray and how to worship.

"Daniel went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before." (Daniel 6:10.)

Daniel opens his window and faces Jerusalem, the city of God. He kneels down in worship three times a day and seeks the face of God in prayer. The children of Israel find themselves captives in the foreign land of Babylon because of their harlotry. They bowed down and worshiped other gods under every green tree instead of worshiping the Father.

We must understand that God is a jealous God and desired His people to only have intimacy and close fellowship with Him. They broke His heart when they chose to serve another god above Him. His beautiful wife was unfaithful to Him and chose someone else. After He had warned her of His disapproval of her behavior towards Him and gave her a season to return to Him with all her heart, she refused. (Ezekiel 16, Hosea 1 & 2.) This led to her being punished and taken captive to Babylon.

It was Daniel who stood in the breach (the gap) in prayer and worshiped thus making intercession for the nation of Judah. Because of Daniels prayer and worship God releases the people of Judah from captivity in Babylon and they return home to Jerusalem.

"And I [Daniel] set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes." (Daniel 9:3.)

The putting on of sackcloth and ashes was the bowing down in the dust wearing clothes made from mainly goat's hair and then casting ashes or dust upon one's head. This was a sign of not only grieving, mourning and humility but also worship.

Daniel puts on sackcloth and ashes and bows himself down in the dust and casts dust all over his head as a sign of surrender. What is he doing? He is not only grieving, mourning and worshiping but also surrendering his will to the will of God. Creator hears his prayer and his cry for mercy and sends the angel of the Lord to deliver the children of Judah from captivity in Babylon.

Maybe you feel like Daniel today who knew the times and the seasons of God but you are still held in captivity and need to be released from bondage. Then don't you think it's time to bow your head towards the ground in the dust and surrender your will in worship. Then you will see the salvation of your God from captivity and be released from your chains of bondage.

Don't you think that it's time to worship and watch the Father show up? Remember that worship is to God like honey is to a bee. Where you find honey you will find bees. Where you find worship you will find the Father because He is a worship seeker. He is addicted to it.

God's General's Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

We see Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego on the other side of the moral spectrum. These three Hebrew boys refuse to worship anything else accept God.

"And whosoever does not fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace." (Daniel 3:6.)

"But if not, be it known unto you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up." (Daniel 3:18.)

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. We must understand that the very reason why the children of Israel were in captivity was because of bowing down to other gods and worshiping another image other than the living God. These three men refused to sin like their forefathers who disobeyed God and worshiped idols under every green tree.

"You burn with lust under the oaks, under every green tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?" (Isaiah 57:5.)

Those three Hebrew boys chose to rather obey God than man. They didn't care if they died for what they believed in. They didn't care that the fiery furnace was waiting for those who didn't obey the king's command. They obeyed their King, the King of heaven and refused to bow in worship to idols. Their conviction was so strong that they believed that their God was able to deliver them.

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if He doesn't, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue that you have set up." (Daniel 3: 16-17.)

These three Hebrew boys refused to bow and worship anything other than the living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They knew the implications of worship. They knew that the god whom you bow down to and worship is the god who will rule over you. Their allegiance was to their God and Him alone. They didn't care about the consequences.

When they were thrown into the fiery furnace because of not obeying the king's command, the Fourth Man, Jesus Christ was revealed in the midst of the fire and delivered them. The God whom they worshiped showed up and rescued them from the fiery flames. The Bible says that not a hair on their heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn't even smell of smoke. (Daniel 3: 27.) They went into the fiery furnace bound, but the Fourth Man set them free from their chains.

Maybe you feel like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who are in the midst of the fiery furnace because you did not bow down to idols and other gods. You didn't bury your face in the ground, bowing down to foreign gods in surrender and worship to them. Then fear not, you are about to be molded into the image of Christ. You are about to become Christ in the earth. You are about to become the dwelling place of God. Your chains are about to be broken. It is my prayer that God will once again raise a generation who will say to the devil: "We will not bow and worship your false image!"

John the beloved wrote: "As he is [Jesus] so are we in this world." It's God's plan that we are molded into the image of Jesus Christ (the Fourth Man in the fiery furnace) and become exactly like Him in the earth.

We must understand that when we are united with the Lord Jesus Christ we are one spirit with Him. (1 Corinthians 6: 17.)

"But the person that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him."

If we are one spirit with Him then we are partakers of the divine nature and become exactly like Him and we escape the corruption that is in the world.

"And because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share His divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desire." (2 Peter 1: 4.)

God create man in Him image and likeness and is still desirous of His children acting and behaving like Him. He wants them to put on and walk in His very divine nature. Jesus said:

"If you have seen me you have seen the Father. We are one and the same."

(John 14: 9 & John 10: 30.)

Jesus was the exact reflection of His Father in heaven.

"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." (Romans 8: 11.)

The same Spirit that lived and dwelt on the inside of Jesus lives and dwells on the inside of us. The reason why the Holy Spirit lies dormant in our lives is because we don't know how to treat Him. The Holy Spirit wants exclusivity. He wants exclusive rights to our lives. He wants us to surrender and yield completely to Him.

The Father desires that we are also an exact replica of Him in the earth. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego the Fourth Man will be revealed in our lives and we will bear the image of the living God inside of us.

"And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him (the likeness of him) that created him." (Colossians 3: 10.)

Don't you think it's time to worship and put on the new man (Jesus Christ) that is created in the image and likeness of God?

God's General Ezra.

"And at the evening sacrifice I [Ezra] arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God."

(Ezra 9: 5.)

Ezra bows down, falling upon his knees, which is worship and God forgave Israel their sins and iniquities and didn't punish them according to what they rightfully deserved, His wrath. Instead, they ended up rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and restoring the ancient ruins out of the rubble thus rebuilding the Temple.

You will become what you worship. When one worships the Father, He will show up and reveal Himself in you. He will make His home (abode) in your heart and He will live in you and through you. He will dwell in you.

"All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home (abode, dwelling) with each of them." (John 14: 23.)

It has always been the desire of God to dwell in the hearts of man. The Father wants intimacy with His children like He had with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. He wants to walk with them in the cool of the day. God sent His Only Begotten Son to reconcile the world unto Himself so that He could once again have fellowship with His creation.

"For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people's sins against them." (2 Corinthians 5: 19.)

It was the very prayer of Jesus that we be united with Him and with the Father. He desired intimacy once again through reconciliation. This is the prayer that He prayed to His Father in heaven.

"I pray that they will all be one, just as You and I are one – as you are in me, Father, and I am in You. And may they be in us so that the world may believe you sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me." (John 17: 21 – 23.)

The Father and the Master want to come and abide in you and make your heart their home and dwelling place. The oneness that Jesus was implying was that we are one with the Father as Jesus Himself was one with the Father. Jesus called Himself the Vine and we are the branches for the very reason that He wants us to abide in Him and have His words dwell in us so that we may bear much fruit. (John 15: 1 – 8.)

The apostle John in his letter claims that the apostles received this abiding and dwelling of God in their hearts. He announces the wonderful fellowship that they now have with the Father and with the Son and wants all men to be partakers and sharers in having this same fellowship.

"We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ." (1 John 1: 3.)

The Father and the Master were living in the hearts of the early apostles. John was encouraging all men to enter into this fellowship by becoming a dwelling place and a house for God to dwell in by His Holy Spirit.

"Do you not know that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit who lives within you?"

(1 Corinthians 6: 19.)

I had this verse of Scripture drilled into me when I was in Bible School. The Holy Spirit has made your body His dwelling place and your body is now called the Temple of God. Creator has always sought to dwell with man. He said to Moses in the wilderness: "Build me a Tabernacle that I may dwell among them. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them." (Exodus 25: 8.)

It has been the desire of God to always dwell with man and he chose a Tabernacle that was upgraded to a Temple to dwell in. Now your body is this Temple that He has chosen to dwell in by His Holy Spirit.

Maybe today you feel like you're in a season like Ezra, where your sins and iniquities are separating you from God. Then, don't you think it's time to cry out for mercy and worship. Don't you think it's time to bury your face in the ground in surrender and yield your will to Him? Don't you think it's time to bow down and worship so God can rebuild the broken walls and restore the ancient ruins in your life.

The Father yearns for fellowship and intimacy. He is seeking a dwelling place. He will find you at the place of worship; that's if you dare to worship Him.

God's General Solomon.

We see King Solomon kneeling down upon his knees before the altar with his hands raised towards the heavens in worship to God while dedicating the Temple.

"And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven." (1 Kings 8: 54.)

We see the glory of the Lord filling the Temple with holy fire when the children of Israel and King Solomon bowed themselves down upon their faces to the ground and worshiped.

"And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshiped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endures forever. Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD."

(2 Chronicles 7: 3 - 4.)

King Solomon and all the Children of Israel bowed down with their faces to the ground and worshiped the God of all the earth when they saw the glory of God fill the temple. They reverenced the presence of God. Worship is to show reverence (awe and respect) to God.

They worshiped in the Temple and God showed up like honey to a bee. He chased them down because they were worshiping. Don't you think it's time to worship? The glory will show up when you worship. The fire of the Holy Spirit will show up as God chases you down.

God's General Himself – Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus, the Son of God was tempted to bow down and worship the devil when He was tempted by him in the wilderness. Again we see here from this passage of Scripture in the Bible how bowing down and worship are associated.

"And he [the devil] said unto him [Jesus], all these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me. Then said Jesus unto him, get behind me, Satan: for it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve." (Matthew 4:9 – 10.)

The devil wants us to bow down and worship other things; earthly things and materialistic things. Remember to worship something other than God the Father is sin and iniquity. When God's people worshiped idols it was an iniquity in the eyes of God. This iniquity performed by previous generations, our parents and grandparents was visited (punished) by God and punished to the third and fourth generation. (Numbers 14: 18.)

Jesus, just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down and worship the devil. Jesus was so focused on doing what He was sent to earth to do and so focused on pleasing His Father, nothing distracted Him.

"And he that sent me is with me: The Father has not left me alone; for I always do those things that please him." (John 8:29.)

Jesus did those things that pleased His Father. He was obedient to Him. The Father didn't leave Jesus alone but was with Jesus because the Father lived inside of Him and dwelt in Him. They were one.

"Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells (lives) in me, he does the works."

(John 14:10.)

Jesus wanted us to have this same intimacy and relationship that He had with the Father. It was His desire and prayer that He and the Father come and make their home in our hearts. God wants to dwell with man and walk in fellowship with man.

Jesus replied, "All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home (abode, and dwelling) with each of them." (John 14: 23.) "I pray that they will all be one, just as You and I are one – as you are in me, Father, and I am in You. And may they be in us so that the world may believe you sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me."

(John 17: 21 – 23.)

Jesus desired that we be one with Him and His Father in heaven; and that together they come and make us their dwelling place in our hearts. God want us to be His Temple that He may dwell in us by the Holy Spirit.

"So the Christ may dwell (make His home) in your hearts through faith." (Ephesians 3: 7.)

We see Jesus kneeling down again in the garden of Gethsemane, when He prayed to His Father before being arrested, before being taken away to be tried and then crucified. What was He doing? He must have been worshiping!

"And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if you be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but Your will, be done." (Luke 22: 41 – 42.)

The Lord Jesus Christ fell down on his face in the garden of Gethsemane when He prayed. I believe that He was worshiping His Father. I believe that He was worshiping because He surrenders His will to the will of the Father. The surrender of the will to the will of another in reverence and awe is worship.

"And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will."

(Matthew 26:39.)

Our Lord Jesus bows down on His knees to the ground in worship and His Father hears His prayer. "He offered up loud cries and prayers to the one who could save Him from death, and He was heard." (Hebrews 5: 7.) Maybe today your prayers have not been answered? Then I suggest that you bow down on your knees in worship with your face to the ground in surrender and seek the Father. He will find you because He chases a worshiper down. Remember that worship is to the Father like honey is to the bee. He will show up when you worship Him.

Remember that the Father is seeking worshipers and He will find you when you are bowing on your knees with your face to the ground in worship; with your will surrendered and yielded to Him. Just like a bee that cannot stay away from honey, so too God the Father cannot stay away from a worshiper. When you worship Him in spirit and in truth, He will chase you down.

God's General's the Psalmists.

We are encouraged through the Psalms to kneel and bow down before the Lord in worship. Again we see the connection between bowing down and worship as bowing down with ones face to the ground in surrender and the yielding up of one's own will to that of another is authentic worship.

"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."

(Psalm 95: 6.)

Throughout the Psalms we see this connection between kneeling and bowing down that God considers worship. Playing the music softly and quietly with your eyes closed and your hands raised, isn't worship. Hey! That's not worship.

"O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear (reverence) before Him, all the earth." (Psalm 96:9.)

Here we see the Psalmist worshiping the Lord with reverence which is holy fear and awe as they bow down before the Lord of all the earth.

"We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy." (Psalm 132: 7-9.) "Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy." (Psalm 99:5.)

Here we see the Psalmists worshiping at His footstool. To worship at His footstool, they must be on their faces bowing down before the Lord at His feet. The footstool is the place where the king places His feet when He sits upon His throne.

"A Psalm of David. I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you. I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving-kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name. In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul."

(Psalm 138: 1-3.)

Kind David bows down in worship and faces the holy temple where God dwells. David knelt down with his face in the ground towards the tent on Mount Zion that he had pitched for the Ark of the Covenant to abide in. It wasn't an uncommon thing to bow down and face towards a certain place. We saw how Daniel did this when he worshiped the Lord in Babylon.

What do you focus on (point towards) when you worship? What you magnify (focus on) will become big and grow in your mind. What you focus your thoughts on will become huge in your mind and in your life. If you focus on your troubles, your troubles will become huge in your sight; but if you magnify the Lord, He will become great in your midst.

"O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around about them that fear Him, and delivers them." (Psalm 34:3-7.)

In this verse of Scripture, we see how the Psalmist magnified the Lord and exalted His name. Magnify means to make big or enlarge (make large). We have an item that we call a magnifying glass. With a magnifying glass we can make a small ant into a huge giant that looks as big as a beetle. Why? The reason is because the ant was magnified through a special lens.

If we can learn how to focus on God through the lens of our mind and make Him big by what we believe about Him, He will come to our rescue. The psalmists were delivered and saved from all their troubles because they magnified the Lord together. They set their focus upon Him and not on their own cares and troubles.

What one magnifies and focuses upon through the lens of the mind to form a belief will become huge and big in one's life. If we focus on our troubles they will become big in our life and if we focus upon God, He will become big and come to our rescue. When we worship we are supposed to set our focus towards God (His holy temple) and not on ourselves or on our selfish wants. Remember Father knows what we need before we even ask. When we worship and bow down in surrender to His will, He goes ahead without our permission and supplies all our needs because we please Him with our worship and He is addicted to worship. He will chase you down.

When we worship He will show up. When we magnify Him and enlarge Him as we focus on who He is, he will come to our rescue and deliver us. As you worship set your focus on Him and magnify Him.

God's General Mary.

We see Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus kneeling and bowing down before Jesus and the Master responds to her by saying: "Take me to where you have laid him." Our Master then raises a dead Lazarus back to life again. (John 11.)

"Then when Mary was come to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if you had have been here, my brother would not have died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see." (John 11:32-34.)

When Mary worshiped Jesus by falling down at His feet: He was moved with compassion that He asks to go to the place where they had buried Lazarus. Jesus Himself weeps and as scholars we can debate the many reasons why we thought He wept, but the fact is that He wept.

Those dead things will remain dead in our life until we bow down like Mary in worship with our face to the ground in surrender before the Prince of Life. Jesus said to them: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believes in me though he were dead yet shall he live. Roll away the stone. Lazarus come forth!" Take Him to the dead tomb in your life today. Take Him to the dead bones that lie scattered along the desert floor of your dry barren heart. Let him speak to those dead bones in your life. Just fall down at His feet in worship and yield to His will and He will chase you down.

He is the resurrection and the life. That dead desert will bloom when you worship. Those dead bones will come together again and the breath of God will bring them back to life. (Ezekiel 37.) But the Father is seeking worshipers who will worship him in spirit and in truth. When last did you worship and lay everything at His feet in total surrender? Worship Him today and take Him to that tomb where those dead bones lie buried.

There are so many examples in the Bible of people who bowed down with their faces on the ground in worship before Jesus; and God the Father moved and touched them.

"And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean. And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him." (Luke 5:12-13.)

Jesus heals this man of leprosy which in the Bible is a type of sin but only after the man fell down at His feet in worship. It was amazing to see how many times Jesus healed those who fell down at His feet in worship. Jesus said: "The Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what He sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does." (John 5:19.) Could it be that when they fell on their knees and faces before Jesus in worship that it moved the Father to perform a miracle? Once they worshiped and bowed down in reverence and surrender, the Father chased them down and prompted Jesus to heal them.

Maybe you are struggling with sin in your life today. Then I recommend that you do what this man did. Fall on your face in surrender and worship before the Father. Allow the blood of the Lamb to cleanse you from all unrighteousness as you acknowledge your sin before Him.

"If we confess (acknowledge) our sin He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9.)

We see Simon Peter, the bold fisherman, fall down at the feet of Jesus as a hopeless sinner and then he arises forgiven as a fisher of men.

"When Simon Peter saw it, (the great catch of fish) he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from now on you shall catch men. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him." (Luke 5:8-11.)

Have we forgotten how to bow down in surrender and worship our God? Have we forgotten to yield up our own desires and our own will and totally surrender our lives to the will of another? Our loving heavenly Father is waiting for you to do this simple act of worship so He can chase you down and find you at the place where you are worshiping and give you a miracle.

"And when Jesus stepped onto land, there met Him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, what have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beg you, torment me not." (Luke 8:27-28.)

This young man who was possessed with legions of devils fell down at the feet of Jesus. The Master delivers him and sets him free from demonic tormentors. Later we see this young man wearing clothes and in his right mind. Miracles happened in Bible times when people fell at the feet of Jesus.

"And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying." (Luke 8:41-42.)

We all know this story very well. The Master then goes to Jairus's house and raises this young girl from the dead. Miracles happen when we fall at the Masters feet in surrender and worship like Jairus did. Maybe the reason why we don't see miracles in the earth today is because we don't know how to bow down in surrender and worship.

What about you? When last did you bow down and worship Him? Who knows! He might chase you down.

God's Generals in the Bible:

There are so many examples of worshipers in the Bible. We just have to look very carefully to find them. Here are a few.

The young boy David chooses smooth five stones out of a water brook and goes onto the battlefield and kills a giant by the name of Goliath. He must have knelt down at the brook to choose these stones. (1 Samuel 17: 40.)

Gideon falls down in worship and God gives him the victory over the Midianites. "And it was so when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshiped." (Judges7: 15.)

Steven falls on his knees, shouting, "Lord! Don't hold this charge against them." He sees Jesus standing at the right hand of God. He falls asleep instead of dying. "And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice. Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep."(Acts7:60)

Simon Peter, now an apostle in Jerusalem whose shadow is healing the sick falls on his knees next to a dead girl and raises her back to life again. "But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body and said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up." (Acts9:40)

Paul kneels down and prays with the elders from Ephesus and gets to see them again in the future. "And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all." (Acts20:36) and "We departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore and prayed." (Acts21:5.) According to the history books Paul traveled on a fourth missionary journey and visited Ephesus again. He got to see the church leaders again whom he so deeply loved.

The woman with the issue of blood falls down at Jesus' feet after admitting to touching him. She walks away not only healed but saved. She starts a trend that others follow; they all start touching the hem of His garment after she first did it. "And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately." (Luke8:47) Others who saw how this woman got healed by touching the hem of His garment all began to sneak up behind the Master and touch the wings on His garment. "And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all." (Luke 6:19)

Most of the miracles that Jesus performed were because the people came and fell at His feet in Worship; there are so many examples. Whenever you read about a miracle that Jesus performed; most of the people bowed down in worship or cried out for mercy or both. They put themselves in a position to be chased down by God.

King David kneels in worship before the Lord along with the entire congregation of the children of Israel and God ushers in years of blessing and prosperity on the land. "And David said to all the congregation, now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshiped the LORD, and the king." (1Chronicles 29:20.)

Job fell to the ground and worshiped when he heard the news of destruction that came upon him and his family. Job remains a worshiper and doesn't sin against God and God restores double back of what he lost. "Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped, and said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly." (Job 1:20-22.)

The Disciples worship after Jesus is ascended into heaven and they return to Jerusalem with great jubilation. "And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy." (Luke 24:51-52.)

The Father is seeking worshipers and will be attracted to worship like a bee is to honey. I thought that I was a worshiper but I wasn't. Now I spend hours on my knees and face in fellowship with Father. He chases me down to the point that I can't hide away from Him.

Still today the Father is seeking worshipers. I believe that the reason why so many of God's children don't receive provision and their miracle from the hand of God is because they don't follow the protocol of worship. The Father will always be attracted to Worshipers and chase them down. He will find you when you are worshiping at His feet. God intervened every time in the lives of these ancient Generals because they knew the protocol of worship. He hunted them down.

Don't you think it's time to worship Him?

Types and Shadows of Worship #4

The Ark of the Covenant.

On the lid of the Ark of the Covenant known as the Mercy Seat we see two angels facing each other on their knees and bowing down in Worship having their wings touching.

"And you shall make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel." (Exodus 25: 18-22.)

The Angels Kneeling and Bowing Down in Worship.

Everything in the Holy of Holies bowed down in worship. Everything in the presence of Almighty God bows down in worship. When I was in heaven I saw the reverence and the awe that the angels show when they worship Father and the Master. Their cries are majestic and difficult for me to describe. Nothing on this earth sounds like it. The way they cover their entire bodies with their wings as they lie prostrated before the throne is awesome to behold. Why God chose me to see and hear these things is beyond me.

We see that the angels upon the Mercy Seat are facing one another with their wings touching and they are knelling down. They are bowing down in worship. There are types and shadows of worship throughout the Bible but we have to look carefully to find them. Like everything with God, He gives us eyes to see and ears to hear. Sometimes we simply have to seek His face and search out a matter for ourselves.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter." (Proverbs 25:2.)

God surely does know how to conceal a thing. I saw all the books of wisdom and knowledge in His Library in heaven in 2008. There are scrolls and manuscripts full of mysteries and secrets, but it's the honor of kings to search these things out. You have been made a king and a priest and therefore the honor is all yours to seek out a matter. My answer is time! We don't take the time to spend in His presence. If you want to know the secrets of God, you have to spend time in the Secret Place at His feet and in His presence in worship. It's all about spending time with Him.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" (Matthew 7:7.)

We spend five minutes a day in prayer and expect to have an intimate relationship with the Father and the Master. Fellowship with the Father and the Son isn't cheap. It takes time to get to know this God. Too often we don't find God because we don't seek Him. We don't have doors open up in our lives because we don't know how to knock. We don't get because we don't ask. We don't know God because we don't seek His face by spending time with Him in worship.

It was above the Mercy Seat where God dwelt as a burning blue flame and He had intimate fellowship with the High Priest once a year on the Day of Atonement. If we would take time out of our busy lives to worship Him and seek His Face He will find us. He will chase us down. Don't be like the High Priest who only went into the Holy of Holies once a year. Spend time with Him every day, morning and evening.

God the Father and His Son now live and abide in your heart. We are His new dwelling place. We need to learn how to stir God up on the inside of us and be still and listen to His small still voice.

"Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46: 10.)

When last did you be still and wait upon God on your face in surrender and worship Him? You will know God when you become still and wait upon Him. It requires time to wait upon God and worship Him.

The Tabernacle.

In the Old Testament a person would enter the Tabernacle and kneel at the altar. They would clench onto the horns of the altar and cry out unto God for mercy.

"And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon: for, lo, he has caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword. And Solomon said, if he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die. So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to King Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to your house."

(1Kings 1:50-53.)

"Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar." (1Kings 2:28.)

They would kneel down before the altar in the worship position and grab hold of the horns. They were seeking mercy while worshiping.

Sackcloth and Ashes.

It was a common occurrence to put on sackcloth and ashes and cry to God for mercy. They would bow down in the dust and prostrate themselves, grieving and mourning for God to comfort them. It was a sign of humility and surrender. It was worship. The sackcloth was a garment made from goat's hair and was worn as a token of grieving and mourning.

"And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days." (Genesis 37:34.)

Here we see the connection between putting on sackcloth and mourning. Jacob mourned for the loss of his son Joseph who he thought was dead, but his brothers had sold him into slavery. They would lie prostrate in the dust or the ash heap while clothed with sackcloth, and sprinkle the ashes upon their heads. This was the worship position. The grieving and the mourning was a sign of hopelessness and helplessness due to cruel circumstances.

"Blessed are them that mourn for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5: 4.)

God comforts all them that mourn. The modern church prays to receive comfort instead of bowing down and being prostrate in worship and grieving and mourning for comfort.

"Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil." (Joel 2:12-13.)

Maybe the reason why so many have never been comforted is because they don't know how to grieve and mourn in worship like the ancient worshipers did in the Bible. They didn't bow down in worship and surrender to cruel circumstance with weeping and mourning? God is not going to comfort you unless you grieve and mourn. This is a spiritual principle that the modern western culture fails to practice whether in the church or out of the church. We are just told to get over it and let time heal. But time doesn't heal a broken heart, only truth does.

Manna in the Wilderness.

We see that when the children of Israel in the wilderness would gather manna every morning they would kneel down to gather manna. This was the worship position.

They knelt as they gathered manna.

If they stretched because they were greedy for more the manna that they gathered for the day ran out. They were to only gather what they needed and what God had placed in their sphere around them. Maybe the reason why so many don't have their daily bread is because they are not gathering it properly. They are not kneeling down in worship to gather it!

The Creation of Man.

Why is worship so important to the Father? Why does He seek after those who kneel and prostrate themselves on the ground in surrender and worship?

God Himself once bowed down in the dust. He himself once knelt down and planted His face in the ground as He lay prostrate upon the earth's soaked soil. When did He do this? He did this when He created man in the Garden of Eden. In the original Hebrew text it implies that when God created man, He knelt down on the ground and then fell prostrate with His face in the soaking soil, the clay. He made a mold of Himself in the ground. He then used this mold of Himself to create the lifeless statue of a man.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image (Hebrew word H6754) of God created he him; male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:27.)

Hebrew Word - H6754 - Image

tselem

From an unused root meaning to shade; a phantom, that is, (figuratively) illusion, resemblance; hence a representative figure, especially an idol: - image, vain shew.

The Jewish Rabbi's believe that God made a mold of Himself to make an idol, an exact replica of Himself. He made this mold of Himself in the water soaked ground.

So why does the Father delight in our worship and seek after worshipers. I believe that God the Father wants to see you do what He did in the Garden of Eden. He wants to see you prostrate yourself on the ground in humility and surrender. He is seeking a worshiper. He is seeking those who would do what He Himself did.

The Crucifixion.

The Roman soldiers bowed down before Jesus as mockery to Him as a self-acclaimed King of the Jews.

"And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him."

(Matthew 27:28-31.)

They strip Him naked thus humiliating Him. They make a crown of thorns and crowned Him with it as a mock crown. They clothe Him with a purple garment, again to mock Him as a self-acclaimed king. (Purple was the color that kings wore.) They spat in His face and punch Him with their fists to insult Him. This beating in His face was so severe that He was marred. In other words, He was no longer recognizable. His image was marred (distorted).

They beat Him with a reed (a mock diadem) upon His head and shouted: "tell us, come on, prophesy who hit you Messiah!" They mocked Him when they hailed Him as the king of worms, bowing down to Him.

But in the Book of Revelation we see the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures bowing down before Him and worshiping the Lamb that was slain. Not to mock Him but to Honor Him.

"The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created." (Revelation 4:10-11.)

In Revelation we see a Lamb that was slain and everything in heaven and on earth bows down in worship before Him and cries: "Worthy are You O Lord our God to receive glory and honor and dominion, for you created all things and by your will they were brought into existence."

"And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and has redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And has made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (Revelation 5:6-10.)

God has made us kings and priests to rule and reign here on earth. Heaven wants to come down here and invade the earth. God wants to come and live and dwell in the hearts of His people.

In the Book of Revelation, we see how the twenty-four elders and all the living creatures revere Him.

"They cried out worthy is the Lamb that was slain. To receive all power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and majesty and blessing" (Revelation 5:12.)

They all prostrate themselves in worship and bow down before the Lamb. The Lamb isn't stripped naked before the Throne of Glory in humiliation but rather He is clothed with pure white garments. We see precious jewels surround the throne. They don't spit in His face; instead they adore the brightness of His being that shines from His glowing face.

They don't crown Him with a crown of thorns to mock Him; instead they fall on their faces in worship before Him and cast their crowns at His feet; they crown Him with many crowns, honoring Him. They don't beat Him with a stick in His face; instead they honor His ruler-ship and kingship as He now holds a Golden Royal Diadem with precious stones all over it in His right hand. They don't hail Him as the king of worms but instead they hail Him as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

Again we see that bowing down and falling upon your face to the ground is worship. This is the worship that the Father is seeking. This is the "honey" that He is after so He can chase you down.

"The four and twenty elders fall down before Him [The Lamb] that sat on the throne, and worship Him that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 'You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.'" (Revelation 4:10-11.)

He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. At the sound of His name everything bows down before Him. His Father highly exalted Him and gave Him a name that is above every other name. At the sound of His name every knee bows and every tongue confesses that He is Lord.

"Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth." (Philippians 2:9-10.)

He is above all. He is all in all and in you all. He is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

"And the four beasts said, Amen. And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him that lives forever and ever." (Revelation 5:14.) "And the twenty-four elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God." (Revelation 11:16.)

What about you? What is your story? When last did you worship? When last did you fall on your face and bow down on your knees before the living God? The Father is seeking a worshiper. Someone who will bow down with their face to the ground and surrender as they worship? Show me your knees and I'll see if you are a worshiper! Are your knees worn out like an old pair of Jeans with holes at the knees?

I have seen the blood of the Lamb on the altar in heaven. It flows down like a fountain with seven streams or rivers. This altar in heaven speaks forgiveness and redemption. The blood of Jesus was shed seven times upon the cross.

The blood on the altar in heaven is an eternal reminder of the price that God paid to purchase you. He gave the only precious thing that He had to buy you. He had only one of them and it was the most precious to Him but he gave it away to be torn apart for you. The least that you can do is say thank you as you bend your knees and bow your face in reverence before Him in surrender. He will show up when you worship. The Father loves the taste of "honey".

Saul of Tarsus.

Saul of Tarsus was on his way to Damascus with letters of authority in his pockets and with murderous intentions in his heart. He comes face to face with a bright Light, brighter than the midday sun. He falls off his "horse" and bites the dust. He falls down to the ground a murderer and is raised to his feet a minister of Jesus Christ, The Master.

I must confess to you today that just like Saul of Tarsus, I too am a murderer. I murdered an innocent man. This young man was vibrant and full of life. He loved His Father and was loved by His Father. This young man died as a result of me. I killed him. I separated Him from His family. He died at my hands, I put Him to death. He died because of me.

This young man was a carpenter. He made things out of wood with His own bare hands. His name was Jesus of Nazareth.

I was guilty of serious crimes that were punishable by death. I was issued with a death sentence because of my crimes, my iniquities and my sins. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6: 23.)

Instead, this Jesus of Nazareth died in my place so that I didn't have to die. He took my punishment upon Himself, the punishment that was intended for me. I was responsible for his death. It was my sin yet He paid for it with His own life.

I was the reason that he gave his life. I murdered him. Now I have to take His place in His family. I now have to serve as a son to His Father. I now have to be a member in His household. I now have to sit at the table next to His Father in His place. What a wonderful table that He has prepared for us, at His Father's right hand. I now call His Father my Father and he calls me His son. Paul the Apostle said:

"For this cause I bow my knee unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named." (Ephesians 3: 14-15.)

Paul the Apostle bowed down to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who do you bow down too? Who do you worship? What's in your honey pot? When last did Father chase you down? How worn out are your knees? Do you have holes at the knees in your jeans yet?

In closing, I come back to the birthing stools that I mentioned in the very first chapter. The reason why we don't see the image of the man child birthed in us: Christ formed in us the hope of glory (Colossians 1: 27) is because we don't position ourselves at the BIRTHING STOOLS.

The ancients Hebrews would kneel down upon the birthing stools in the worship position to give birth. They would grieve and mourn in travail in the worship position upon their knees at the Birthing Stools.

The Ancients Giving Birth on their knees.

The 1,000-year-Old Kukaniloko Birthing Site of Hawaii showing the birthing stools.

They gave birth on their knees at the birthing stools. This is how the ancients gave birth, on their knees and not on their backs like we do in our western culture today. Some cultures today still give birth like the ancients did on their knees.

Remember, that which is born of the flesh is flesh. Remember that it only produces after its own kind. Likewise, that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Flesh can only give birth to flesh while spirit can only give birth to spirit. One cannot produce a spiritual promise by means of the flesh.

"The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing." (John 6: 63.)

The flesh will never give birth to eternal life which is fellowship and union with God. I believe that the reason why so many haven't given birth to anything in the spirit is because they are still standing. They are still walking according to the flesh when they should be kneeling and bowing down in worship and surrender upon their faces. One needs to be in the birthing position for the spirit to give birth to the spirit. Worship is the position of travail to give birth to spirit.

When last did you give birth to something in the spirit? Maybe if you would position yourself in surrender and worship with weeping and mourning and crying in travail you might give birth to what God has promised you. When last did you grieve and mourn and cry?

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." (James 4:7-10.)

We expect to give birth in the spirit but we don't travail at the birthing stools in the spirit with weeping, mourning and affliction. Have you positioned yourself in the birthing position to give birth to the promises of God? Abraham did and his twenty-four year waiting period came to a sudden end. Human effort came to an end. He learned that spirit gives birth to spirit in the birthing position, in the worship position and God chased him down bringing His promises to pass.

God cannot birth a nation in a day while we are standing. We need to know how to position ourselves and follow the protocols of heaven.

"Before she goes into labor (travailed), she gives birth; (worship position) before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son (a man child – image of Christ). Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion (the dwelling place of God) in labor (travail, grieving, mourning and weeping) than she gives birth to her children." (Isaiah 66:7-8.)

Here we see Zion, which is the place where God dwelt in the Old Testament, (the place that David faced when he bowed down in worship) in travail at the birthing stools. She is in the worship position. In the New Testament we are now His dwelling place. He now lives in us by the Holy Spirit. Zion gives birth to a man child which is a type of Christ formed in us the hope of glory. She is grieving and mourning and weeping as she is in travail to give birth. If only we could position ourselves at the birthing stools, in the worship position, we would give birth to the promises of God.

The Fetal Position.

How does a baby grow in its mother's womb? It grows in the fetal position. In this position, according to Wikipedia, the back is curved, the head is bowed, and the limbs are bent and drawn up to the torso.

The Fetal Position.

What do you think it would look like if we had to turn this position sideways? It will look like they are bowing down on your knees and in the worship position!

In my view the baby grows in the womb in the worship position that we call the fetal position. Maybe we were created and born to worship after all. The majority of human beings sleep in the fetal position. It is believed that an estimated 41% of the world's population sleeps in this way, the fetal position. I wonder why? I believe with all my heart that it's because we were designed by God the Father to worship.

Some experts also say that the worship position is the most relaxing and most comfortable position to be in to relax.

The Father is seeking worshipers who will worship Him in SPIRIT and in truth. God will chase you down and find you when you position yourself on your knees, bowing down to the ground, prostrate before Him in surrender and worship Him.

"And as we have borne the image of the earthy, the man of dust, Adam, so we shall also bear the image of the heavenly, Jesus Christ." (1Corinthians 15:49.)

God the Father wants a replica of Himself in the earth again. He wants to hear His children say: "If you have seen me you have seen the Father." Don't look at me like that! I know what you are thinking. Where do you think your spirit came from? How did it end up in your body? It came from God because it belongs to God because it is God. We are going to have to start seeing ourselves through the lenses of heaven if we are to accomplish the purposes and promises of God in the earth.

Adam was the son of God (Luke 3: 38) and you and I are the sons of God in the earth.

"So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received Gods Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, "Abba, Father." For His Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children. And since we are His children, we are His heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God's glory." (Romans 8: 15-17.)

"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed," or the King James Bible says, "The manifestation of the sons of God." (Romans 8: 19.)

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." (Romans 8:29)

It's the Fathers desire that we are molded (conformed) into the image of His son. That we are an exact replica of Him in the earth just like Adam was in the Garden of Eden. Father desires to walk intimately with His children in the cool (breath) of the day like He did with His first son, Adam. Don't you think it's time to plant your face on the ground, bending your knees and bowing down in worship before Almighty God, yielding your will and desires to Him so you can walk in intimate fellowship with Him?

Don't you think it's time to fill you honey pot with the nectar of heaven and follow the ancient protocol of authentic worship! When you do, the "Bee" will show up and make his hive in your heart. He will hunt and chase you down.

An Exceptional Women of Worship.

A woman comes uninvited into a man's house while Jesus is dinning there as a guest at the table. The Bible says that she is an especially (exceptionally) wicked sinner. She brings an alabaster flask of expensive perfume with her. Her honey pot is filled with a costly fragrant perfume and her heart was filled with sincere worship. She kneels down on the floor behind Him and begins to wash His feet with her tears and to dry them with her long sinful disgusting hair.

"One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so Jesus went to his home and sat down to eat. When a certain immoral woman from that city heard that He was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. Then she knelt (worship) behind Him at His feet, weeping (mourning, grieving). Her tears fell on His feet, and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept kissing His feet and putting perfume on them."

(Luke 7: 36-38.)

The fragrance from this costly perfume must have filled the entire house with its scent. She was kneeling in the worship position washing His feet with her tears while grieving and mourning and she dry's them with the hairs of her head. Her honey jar was filled with gentle kisses of adoration. From the time that she entered the house she did not cease to kiss the Masters feet. She was seeking forgiveness through worship and she found it.

"I tell you, her sins, and they are many, have been forgiven...And Jesus said unto her, your sins are forgiven." (Luke 7:47, 50.)

What was she doing at the Masters feet? She was worshiping and God chased her down and washed her sins away at the cross with His loud cries and tears.

As she begins to kiss his feet and pour out this most expensive and costly perfume all over his feet the Father shows up. While she was anointing Him in advance for His burial the Father is seeking after her and chasing her down. She knelt down an exceptionally wicked sinner but she stands up forgiven by God for her many sins. She goes and sins no more. She never sins again.

While Jesus is dying upon the cruel cross, a beautiful fragrance from his feet reaches His nostrils. It's a sweet smelling fragrance that fills the air. It's the smell of the expensive perfume that the exceptional wicked sinner poured out all over His feet. It reminds Him why He is hanging upon that heavy wooden cross. It's a reminder why He is enduring the pain and ignoring the shame of the rusty nails that have pinned Him to the cross. You see! The cross is a place for exceptionally wicked sinners to find forgiveness. He died for you and for me.

Will you kneel with me before Him today and bow down and WORSHIP Him for what He has done for you. Will you kiss His feet in acknowledgment of your hopelessness and helplessness as a sinner? Will you grieve and mourn your sins with me today so He can comfort you with His salvation. Will you allow Him to have His will and His way in your life today?

What's in your honey pot? Don't you want to fill it with the sweet smelling fragrance of sincere worship from a surrendered heart? It doesn't matter if you are an exceptionally wicked sinner. There is room at the foot of the cross for you. His blood will wash and cleanse you from all of your sins.

"To Him who loves us and has washed us from our sins with His own blood and has made us kings and priests to serve His God and Father." (Revelation 1:5.)

The Father loves you to the extent that He gave His Only Begotten Son to die on a cross for you. The Masters blood has washed you and cleansed you. It has made you a king and a priest to serve the Father.

When they say we are going to enter into a time of worship and there is no bowing down on your face to the ground in surrender, then hey! That's not worship.

Come let us bow down and worship Father together! It's time for Him to find you where you are. He is still seeking worshipers today! Fill your honey pot with worship for the Father today and He will chase you down and show up.

Don't ever forget that worship is to God like honey is to a bee. You will find the Father when you are positioned on your knees at the place of worship.

Let's worship Him together. He loves it. It pleases Him.

The Seven Rivers of Blood #5

The blood of Jesus was shed seven times on the day that He was crucified.

Drops of blood on His forehead.

"He prayed more fervently, and He was in such agony of spirit that His sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood." (Luke 22:44.)

Beaten with fists and slapped in His face.

"Then they began to spit in Jesus' face, and beat Him with their fists. And some slapped Him jeering, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you that time?'" (Matt 26:67-68.)

"And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and struck Him on the head." (Matt 27:30.)

They pulled out His beard.

"I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting." (Isaiah 50:6.)

Stripes upon His back.

"Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him." (John 19:1.)

"Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified." (Matthew 27:26.)

A crown of thorn upon His head.

"And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!" (Matthew 27:29.)

They nailed His hands and feet.

"They pierced my hands and my feet." (Psalm 22:16.)

"And when they had crucified him, (nailed His hands and feet) they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take." (Mark 15:24.)

"Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see I have." (Luke 24:39.)

"But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, we have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then said he to Thomas, reach out your finger, and behold my hands; and reach out your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing." (John 20:24-27)

They pierced His side.

"But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water." (John 19:34.)

The death of Jesus Christ was a brutal killing. It wasn't a stole in the park to go on a Sunday afternoon picnic. Scholars say that the wounds of Jesus were leaking water while He hung on the cross because He had no more blood left in His body. It had all been poured out. It was the Roman spear that pierced His side that emptied His body of the last drops of blood.

His face was beaten so badly that it was marred. In other words, His face was disfigured to the point that He was no longer recognizable. The Renaissance artists who painted beautiful pictures and portraits of Christ's crucifixion got it all wrong. They were not brutal enough. Some people criticized Mel Gibson for portraying the death of Jesus Christ so brutally in his movie, The Passion of the Christ. I don't think that any movie producer can portray the brutal death of the Lord Jesus Christ to the extent that He suffered in reality on that dark day in Jerusalem when He was crucified.

Everything in heaven is eternal unlike earth. Things cannot perish as they are not subject to decay or corruption. The blood upon the altar in heaven has been glorified. It remains in heaven as an eternal reminder of the price that the Lamb of God paid to purchase you and me. Jesus purchased His church with His own blood.

"Which He purchased with His own blood." (Acts 20: 28.)

How to apply The Blood of the LAMB.

"They overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb..."

The most powerful weapon that we use against the devil is the blood of the Lamb. The blood of the Lamb was applied upon the doorposts of the homes of the children of Israel when they served in Egypt as slaves. This blood saved them from certain death as the angel of the Lord saw the blood and passed over them not killing their firstborn.

I have put together my list of Scriptures from the Bible that I use as spiritual weapons. I've also shared the prayer that I pray with you when I apply the blood of the Lamb to my life.

"IN HIM we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace." (Eph 1:7)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM redeemed.

The blood of the Lamb is the price that Creator paid to purchase you back from Dark. (The word redeem means: to ransom, to purchase or buy back.)

"Take heed...to feed the church of God, which He has purchased with His own blood." (Acts 20:28)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM purchased. I now belong to God.

"IN HIM we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins." (Col 1:14)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM forgiven. My sins are forgiven me.

"Being now justified by His blood, we are saved from wrath through Him." (Rom 5:9)

Therefore, the blood of the Lamb I AM justified (just as if I never sinned).

I AM saved from God's wrath by the blood of the Lamb.

The word justified means to render innocent.

Therefore, through the blood of the Lamb I am innocent before God.

"But now IN HIM (Christ Jesus) you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Christ." (Eph 2:13)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM near and close to God. I AM no longer far off.

"And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him reconciling all things unto himself." (Col 1:20)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM reconciled back to God. I have peace with God because of the blood of the Lamb.

"Having therefore boldness (confidence) to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus." (Heb 10:19)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM confident to enter into the presence of God without a sinful spot or blemish.

"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Heb 9:14)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM without spot or blemish (sin).

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb my conscience is cleansed from dead works to serve the living God.

"To him that loved us, and has washed us from our sins in His own blood." (Rev 1:5)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM washed and cleansed from all my sins.

"And they overcame him (Dark the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Rev 12:11)

Therefore, by the blood of the Lamb I AM an overcomer.

Prayer:

How to apply the blood of the Lamb?

I simply place both my hands in front of me with open palms. Then I speak to my hands saying: "I apply the blood of the Lamb to my...."

"I apply the blood of the Lamb to my mind and with it I cleanse my thoughts. I will think the thoughts of God. I have the mind of Christ."

I take both my hands and rub them over my head as if brushing my hair. I then proceed to my eyes.

"I apply the blood of the Lamb to my eyes. I will set no evil thing before my eyes. I will only do what I see my Father in heaven doing."

I take both my hands and rub them over my eyes. I then proceed to my ears.

"I apply the blood of the Lamb to my ears. I will not listen to any other voice other than evil my Father's voice. I will only hear His whisper."

I take both my hands and rub them over my ears. I then proceed to my lips.

"I apply the blood of the Lamb to my mouth. I will only speak what I hear my Father saying. When I speak I will speak the very oracles of God."

I take both my hands and rub them over my lips and mouth. I then proceed to my hands.

"I apply the blood of the Lamb to my hands. With my hands I will work the works of God. Whatever I set my hand to do will prosper."

I take both my hands and rub them together. I then proceed to my feet.

"I apply the blood of the Lamb to my feet. With these feet I will walk even as Jesus walked. With these feet I will carry your Gospel to the ends of the earth."

I take both my hands and rub my feet with them. I then proceed to my heart.

"I apply the blood of the Lamb to my heart and emotions. I will set my affections on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. I will place upon my heart what God has upon His heart."

I then thank Father for the precious blood of the Lamb that was poured out upon the cross for me.

Our Vision:

Our vision is to establish One Billion Disciples of Jesus Christ who will come to maturity: to the full stature of the full measure of Christ – Ephesians 4: 13

One Billion Disciples of Jesus Christ - 1BD

Be one of one billion – 1/1BD

"Make disciples of all nations." – Jesus Christ 30AD.

Not only do we want to make disciples of all nations but we want disciples to stand up and be counted as a disciple of Jesus Christ being one of one billion in the earth. If one disciple invited 12 other disciples to join this group and so on: It would only take nine levels to reach 5 billion disciples of Jesus Christ because of the principle of multiplication.

(1) 1 x 12 = 12

(2) 12 x 12 = 144

(3) 144 x 12 = 1728

(4) 1728 x 12 = 20736

(5) 20736 x 12 = 248832

(6) 248832 x 12 = 2,985,984

(7) 2,985,984 x 12 = 35,831,808

(8) 35,831,808 x 12 = 429,981,696

(9) 429,981,696 x 12 = 5,519 Billion.

If level 9 made 2,5 disciples.

(9) 429,981,696 x 2,5 = 1,074 Billion Disciples of Jesus Christ.

Things escalate quickly with multiplication instead of addition as we have demonstrated above. In the early church in the Book of Acts God added disciples to them (Acts 2: 47, Acts 5: 14, Acts 11: 24) and then later He multiplied disciples unto them (Acts 6: 1,7).

The world population is estimated to be 9,8 billion people in the year 2050. Therefore if one billion disciples by 2050 each won 9 souls the entire world population will know the Lord Jesus Christ. The entire world will be saved and know Jesus Christ as Lord.

We have set up this page to exhort and encourage the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ so that none will fall away or grow cold or weary on their discipleship journey.

"This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples." John 15: 8.

So, not only do disciples bear fruit by abiding in the Vine but they also exhort and encourage one another because disciples carry things. They carry a cross (Matthew 16: 24) and they carry one another's burdens.

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ."

(Galatians 6:2).

The law of Christ that Paul the apostle spoke about here is the law of love; because Jesus said: "A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you."
