WORSHIP, THE KEY TO HEAVEN’S LOVE MANIFESTING ON EARTH – Ron McGatlin

What does it really mean to be in love with God?

Most believers are convinced that God loves everyone in the world and cares deeply for them and the world. That is absolutely true. He really has good plans and desires for all mankind. But that does not mean that everyone is in love with God. Only the ones who LOVE God back as He loves us are truly in love with God. Being in love is a relationship and requires two in love with each other.

Being in love with God is the key to abundant life. The most fruitful, rewarding, and peaceful life on earth begins with falling in love with God. Many awesome promises from God in the Bible are only for those who love Him.

“But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’ 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

Being in love with God is a Spiritual thing that greatly affects our lives in the world. Falling in love with God is the way of bringing forth heaven on earth. The world is being changed by those in love with God.

HOW DO WE FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD?

The short answer is WORSHIP Him!

 “Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations. Psalm 100.

We can get to know God by the written word, but we can only fall in love with Him by true worship. Worship is the key to falling in love with God. Music and singing words of praise, thankfulness, gratefulness, joyous shouts, gladness for His truth, mercy, provision, and blessings of His love for us.

Worship is a lifestyle. It is a way of being that is always greatly honoring and praising God. God is involved in everything that we do or say. Our whole lives are based upon His desire and purpose for us.  

Through real worship, we enter into His presence. The fire of love and glory is ignited within us as we worship and praise God. This is a very personal relationship between one person and the living God Almighty. True worship is the way into an active in-love relationship with God.

There is nothing religious about this love relationship. There are no routine services or planned sacrifices. It is the saturation of Spirit Love flowing like a crystal-clear stream into us and from us first back to God and then to the world around us. (John 4:14).

GLORY GATHERINGS OF CORPORATE WORSHIP

When a true worshiper comes together with one or two other true worshipers, the fire of glory is not just added together it is multiplied and intensified.

I was discussing this with a dear friend one morning, and he was reminded of an awesome vision that he had years ago in the days of the 90s spiritual revivals and outpourings. He saw many people coming together, each carrying a burning torch. As they gathered in worshiping God, the light greatly intensified and extended up into the heavens and flowed back down as GLORY from heaven.

There is a direct response to truly worshiping and praising God that is multiplied when many people come together actively worshiping together in one accord. The amplified glory is the loving overwhelming of the presence of God in and with His people.

Blessings and provision are poured out to those who truly worship. For those who refuse or despise true worship, there is a lack of glory and provisions for abundant life.  

“NO WORSHIP NO RAIN”

I recently posted a prophetic word by Kim Potter about the lack of rain (provision and blessings of God) where there is no worship. You can read the article here, “Bring Down The Rain.”

Zechariah 14:17 states that those who do not worship Him will experience a lack of rain.

The world has been suffering from a spiritual drought that has led to the current disorder of the nations. The lack of spiritual life-giving rain of the glory of God has produced serious lack and suffering among mankind.

In this season, God is revealing the source and the remedy to change these world issues by the light of His love and glory, exposing the problem and the cause as well as the remedy. 

The lukewarmness and lack of true worship in many of the Christian religious institutions have failed to lead the people to enter true worship. This has led to the culture in the Western world gradually but drastically corrupting into extreme deprivation for many.

The remedy for the situation is a nation of people coming into true worship of God. Small groups coming together for true worship, praise, and prayer, loving God and one another in homes and business places on a weekly basis, will lead to huge true worship and praise gatherings in open-air events or stadiums for the one purpose of truly worshiping and praising God.

Mass media must be redeemed and set free to let the world in on the greatest move of God ever in this world. The whole world can become as it is in heaven, honoring, worshiping, and praising God!

“Praise the Lord!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!” Psalm 150.

Every town or village could have an open, Holy Spiritual gathering to worship and praise God. It is not a show for a band to perform but a Spirit-led participation of gifted musicians and singers to lead the groups into live worship and high praise.

It is not a platform for a preacher but gifted leaders who can respond to whatever God is doing and saying, as true worship and praise bring the people and God together in love. There is nothing of religious traditions or structure of man involved in these love fests of God with and in His chosen people praising and worshiping Him in pure holy love  

Gatherings could be from time to time as God leads or perhaps monthly, but probably not on Sunday and probably not weekly. The gathering is for everyone, and especially all the smaller weekly groups to come together to worship God and share the things of God with one another.

The reality of truly worshiping and praising God is the starting place to being in love with God and the start of life in this world as it is in heaven.

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Father, we worship You with all our hearts and lives. We praise you with all that is within us. Thank You for loving us and making the way for us to fall in love with You. We gladly give all our heart and life to You to be and do Your will Your way… (pray on) …… Amen!
