Celebration Church Int'l

True Worship ????

The priority of worship is not our preference but the order of the protocol of the Church.

By the revelation of God's mercies, our response should be presenting our bodies holy and acceptable before Him. That is the standard.

Every time worship is done properly, 3 things happen simultaneously.

1. The Holiness of God.
2. ⁠The access of the blood.
3. ⁠The fellowship and the edification of the saints...

Deeper is for consecration, for you to examine yourself.

An opportunity to strengthen hands that hang low and feeble knees.

You must feel after God, where you have that pure and holy passion and that consciousness.

People’s experiences can be faulty and lead us to error...
