True worship and praise is a must

  **Praying is not worship? Praying is asking God for something.

Praises is not worship? Praises is when God has answered your prayer. And when you received it you praise him.

Worship is feeling of the Heart, when you have Jesus, and love him. Worship him in truth – when you worship him it’s in love spirit and in truth.

Psalm 118:28-29 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.29O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

(Ephesians 5:8,9) For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Psalm 66:20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Hebrew 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 

Do not full fill the lust of the flesh, but full fill the desires of the spirit of God. Why do we need to worship the Lord? Why can’t we just come to church, and just hear the word of the day, or evening, and just live a good life as a Christian, and just don’t worry about praising the Lord?

How do we feel when getting up in the morning and you lack strength to go through the day? Where does your strength come from? Rest and good eating habits helps keep your body moving at a good pace.

We do not live by bread alone, we are fed by God

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Let’s look at this in a spiritual way.

Faith coming by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Psalms 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

The Lord said if we don’t praise him the rocks will. And remember, even the birds and animals praise the Lord.

 Psalms 69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.  

Psalms 96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

The Lord is your strength

Exodus 15:2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3

Romans 14:11 For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  

Are we thankful? How do we appreciate our daily reward?

Hebrews 12:28  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
