Читать книгу Worship That Touches the Heart of God - Nina Gardner - Страница 18

In general worship services, the typical mindsets are to be ministered to or to be fed; but in Davidic Worship, it is about fulfilling the priestly role of ministering to God. Because you are now seated with Christ in heavenly places, you have already been granted the power and authority to come boldly into His presence (Hebrews 4:16). You step into that position of power and authority when you begin to minister directly to God. You hold the key to God’s heart, and you choose to execute or not; no one, not even Satan, can take your position.

The entire purpose the priests entered into the Holy Place and Most Holy Place was to minister to God. It was only after ministering to God did they turn to bless the people and then the glory of God manifested in their presence and all their needs were supplied (Leviticus 9:22-24). If we want to see the glory of God manifesting in our services or in our lives, ministering to God must come first. Furthermore, Jesus Christ wants to empower us just as He did the seventy to go out to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, and preach the gospel. That all starts with our knowledge of God and ministering to Him.

As we take our places and come before God to worship Him in spirit and in truth, we will enter into the realms of His glory, His peace, His love, and many other places. When we minister directly to God for ourselves, the keys to the kingdom of heaven will come open to us. It is here where we receive directly from God what we need. If we need healing, deliverance, or help, it is here; if we need prayers answered, we can receive them. There is no harm for someone to lay hands on us and pray for our healing, but if we can go directly to God and receive it for ourself, it is totally exhilarating! And isn’t this what God really wants to happen? Isn’t this God’s plan from the beginning? He longs for us to minister to Him in the priest’s office. He absolutely desires to meet with you personally in the Most Holy Place and for you to experience Him in all His glory!
