                          WORSHIP

Worship is not just a state of mind it is also an action.  It requires 
strength, stamina and endurance.  It is the physical act of doing what is 
in the spirit as much as it is the spirit soaring into the heavenlies.  If
you are afraid to step out how can I bless you with all that I have for 
you?  I am waiting for those that are willing to "step out of the boat"
and go forth in victory.  I will be there to guide you and direct you but 
I will not push you.  
 
Worship is to become a part of you in ways that you have not yet understood.  
It is to be as much a part of your daily activity as walking or reading 
your Bible.  It is to be a "way of life."  Worship involves all of you, 
your eyes to see into the spirit realm, your ears to hear what I am telling 
you, your mouth to sing praises and glorify My name, your mind to think on 
Me, you arms and hands to be raised toward the heavens as you surrender 
yourself to me, your feet to take you where I am leading you and to dance 
before Me, and every cell in your body to cry out for more of Me.  
 
This is not only a day of jubilee and promise but also a day of much 
tribulation and fear.  It will all depend on you as to what you experience.  
Can you trust me to guide you and always be there for you?  Will you let 
Me show you how I want you to worship instead of trying to figure it out 
on your own?  I am wanting ALL of you, not just part.  It is easy for you
to give me part of you but I tell you today that if you are not willing 
and ready to relinquish those things that you have been holding onto I 
cannot allow you to enter into the realms of Glory that I have prepared for
you.  Take courage and know that "I will not leave you nor forsake you." 
I am going to show you things that you have never seen or even dreamed of 
as you draw closer to me and come behind the veil into the Holy of Holies.  
Many will scoff at you and say that you have gone too far but know that 
it is them for they have not gone far enough!  

Come soar with Me to new heights and listen to all that I will tell you. 
Beware though as the enemy is trying to speak also.  Know My voice so that 
you cannot be deceived!  Be prepared!  Be on the alert!  Listen closely!  
Follow Me and do not fear.  The enemy would have you walk in fear and think 
that you are alone.  You are not alone.  There are many that are wanting to 
follow Me into this new dimension.  Even if there were not you would never 
be alone as I will always be with you!  Know that I will never ask of you 
that which I have not prepared you for.  I know you and I know what you 
can do, even when you do not think you can do it.  There are new dimensions 
of worship that you have not seen or tasted but they are awaiting you.  Do 
not lean on your own understanding but rely on Me and on My Word.  Do you 
hear Me calling?  Know My Word and listen to My voice.  Come, draw closer, 
ever closer and soar with Me into the place that I have prepared for you 
and you alone.  Come, come for I am waiting expectantly for you!  I am 
longing to meet you there.  Come!
