Psalm chapter 95







Today we are walking in: True Worship Part 2!!!!







Today we look to the word-WORSHIP- H7812 shachah--to bow down; prostrate oneself before superior in homage; before the Most High in worship





The Torah testifies.........……

The writings bear witness............

Psalm 66:4

All the earth shall worship H7812 thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.




So it's not worship, it's called repetition. Daniel came out knowing something about The Most High that no one else ever knew. He's a lion taming The Most High. Let's define worship in practical terms. Write this down. Worship is only reserved for the Lord. That is the key to worship. He is Lord. The word Lord means owner but it means legitimate owner. The one who legally owns it. That's the word Lord, you see those of you who rent from somebody the one you renting from is called the landlord. See the word Lord means owner. Very important word. When you see that word in the Bible it means mighty controller. Why? He is mighty because he owns and because he owns, he controls. That's why we call him Lord Almighty. He owns everything, so he could control everything. Worship is the acknowledgement and the ascribing of all things to the source. The Lord owns everything, why? Because he is the legitimate source of everything. Why? Because he created everything. Worship is a result of revelation of the source of creation. Worship is a result. True worship doesn't have to be generated, true worship is a result of something. It's a result of a revelation that you have about who is the source of everything created. When that gets to you when you understand it then his praise is continually upon your lips. The problem is they don't like The Most High. There's no revelation. When you get a revelation of the source of everything, when you get a revelation of it there's this consciousness of constant, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. When you understand where it all comes from you don't need no cheerleaders called worship leaders but your problem is you don't worship The Most High, you worship the worship leaders, and they worship their song that makes you sing and The Most High says I'm not in this. Worship is a natural response to an understanding of the source of all things. The largest book in the Bible is a praise book written by a politician who was the greatest king of the nation of Israel. How can this man who is a politician write the largest praise and worship book in the Bible? Because it's simple, he used to hang out in the hills and David realized that the mountains and the hills belong to him and the bush that he found with a sheep belonged to him. He understood that the tongue he used to sing that song the Lord is my shepherd came from The Most High. So David kept on writing his gratitude. We call them Psalms. And here comes a lion, David said I got a new song today lion. This lion today is bringing me a new song! Who's your lion?? This bear has come to take my sheep--no he comes to give me a new song!

And then the big day came with Goliath, David says I am gonna write about you. I'm gonna write about the Most High, who took your head off!! What you going through ain't nothing but a song!!! The Most High's gonna give you a song for what you are going through, that no one knows but you! They don’t know what you came out to come here, they don't understand but it's a song!! You cannot worship beyond what you know about the Most High, otherwise you're using other people's material. That's why it's important for you to read the Bible for yourself! We run out of things to say to the Most High, because we don't know nothing else!

Worship is total transfer of credit to the supreme source and the owner of all things!! Worship is bowing down to him and say it's all yours--including me!! That's why you prostrate, as a sign that I am yours too! See when you lay down before a king you tell, the King my body, everything is yours. As long as you are standing before a king, the king says--you don't belong to me. You are standing on your own strength--when you lay before sovereignty you are acknowledging that everything you are and have and is--is because of him and we call that worship.

There's a term that we didn't talk about earlier, the Most High is the supreme owner of everything there is a definition I gave you earlier to blow a kiss. Go in your dictionary, in Hebrew look up the word worship and you'll see that there to blow a kiss. Now that doesn't make any sense to us! You know we do it some time in the West, blow a kiss to someone. In the culture of the East, you don't blow kiss to just anybody! You only blow a kiss to somebody you totally depend on!! To worship means to look up and blow a kiss and say, you wonderful thing you!! And you do it all day!! It means I totally depend on you. The Most High is not making the angels bow--read the Bible! The angels bow because they have a revelation of who that is sitting on that throne!! They know in Him they live and move and have their very being!! How about you?? Can you blow Him a kiss? I dare you to blow Him a kiss--see you have never done that before in a worship service and that's exactly what worship means! The first thing in the morning when you wake up you should just blow Him a kiss, while you still in your bed, eyes just opened. Blow Him a kiss, He takes it because it means you are giving Him thanks that you survived the night by His grace! Why worship the Most High? You know whenever you see the word worship is usually followed by the word Lord, matter of fact the words of Yahusha will make sense in a minute. These are very powerful words. But let's look at Psalm 24:1-2 1 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

The word Lord means owner so take the word Lord out and put that in. It makes a big difference all of a sudden. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness, everything on it and all they that dwell in it. For he founded it--it is His property!! Upon the seas and he accomplished the land out of the waters!! Not only does he own the world and the land but all that is in it!! That's you, your cat, your dog, your house, your CD player--He said look, everything you got--is mine and I made it!! Don't you dare tell me that it ain’t from me!! That's why you blow kisses that is why--you lay down on your face and you prostrate because the minute you think, you are too much to bow, and you too much to lay down--He started taking it back! It is His material! You come to worship service nobody wants to really sing a real song.

Exodus 23:23-24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Look at the scripture, it says worship the Lord the Most High God. Worship who?? The Most High, the owner and creator of this world and all that is in it! He is the Lord--the owner who is your sustainer!! He is the self-sustaining one!! Worship the owner who sustains--everything!! That is who you worship--bow down to, lie prostate before and to blow kisses to--submit to Him, Why? Because everything I am, have or ever will get--belongs to You the Most High!! And the more you prostate, the more He gives you, because when you give gratitude you increase your latitude which improves your altitude!! When you get close to the Most High, He starts giving you stuff!!

The next part says, in Exodus 23:26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

What He is saying is He will provide for His people who He loves!! His blessings will be on your food and water, I will take away sickness from among you and none will miscarry or be barren in your land--I will give you a full lifespan.

What's the key?? Worship the Most High! What is worship--ascribing and acknowledging that He owns everything!! You keep doing that?? I'll fix you up---overflow blessings!! You gotta give Him some praise!!!

What are we to do, shout unto the Most High for He is the Lord, the owner of all!! It is time to go back to worshipping Him again, not the music or songs! Stop worshipping your cars, your hairstyle, because not one of them could so what we just saw in scripture that He would do for His people! Can that thing that you are worshipping take away sickness from you? So stop going around looking for someone to heal you. That scripture told you how to get your healing!!

But you don’t want to do that, you want a shortcut, a gift--you don't want gratitude!! Why does it take sickness to make you finally turn TV off, get friends out of the room, shut the telephone off and sit there with your body wrecked with disease and you finally say Most High, you are the Lord of all!! See that is key, right there--know that if He doesn’t heal you or deliver you from this bed--No one else can! Now He finally got what He wanted from you! As you say, if You don't deliver me from this pain and He says--this is worship!! That is what worship is, submit!!

When you say to the Most High if you don't bring me out, I can't get out of this one!! That's worship! Don't wait till you have to do it, to do it! Bless the Most High our Lord at all times and let His praises continually be in your mouth!!

I take sickness from among you-- you'll live long. Imagine, long life is tied to gratitude--thank you the Most High!! Thank You Abba!!

We have to learn to say, to Him be the glory! That keeps us aware if we get blessed or something-- doesn't mean anything to me! To Him be the glory! If you keep that in your mouth, you'll keep getting blessed. Keep transferring the credit to Him, to Him be the glory!! Did you get a new house? To Him be the glory! A new dress? To Him be the glory! A new job? To Him be the glory! Healed from sickness?? To Him be the glory!! Just missed that accident, to Him be the glory!! Kids got into college? To Him be the glory! No more lump in your breast? To Him be the glory! Are you breathing and got oxygen? To Him be the glory!! Everything that uses His air, He says give Me thanks--gratitude! What do we use to worship? What do you use for material to worship? What are you bringing to worship before the Most High of the Universe?? In the book of Exodus, worship must be as a result of whatever He asked for including yourself. Worship--what do you bring to worship the Most High?? The answer is the Creator has the right to ask for anything He wants in worship. Why??? Because he owns everything!!! Do you know why He said for you to dance? That's His body!! You know why He tell you to jump--that's His jump! You know why He tell you to scream and shout? That is His vocal cords! He owns it, it owns it all--He is LORD!!! He says make noise and the noise is His, why the air that vibrates on the vocal cords is His, the throat, tongue and lips that help make that noise are all His!!

He says dance--the leg under the dance and the energy to make the leg dance are all Mine!! I want the dance!!

Exodus 10:8-11 (KJV) 8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God: but who are they that shall go? 9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the Lord. 10 And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. 11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Exodus 10:24-26 (KJV) 24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you. 25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God. 26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither.


You never saw that verse in the Bible before, did you?? They had to bring everything out to worship the Most High, but they did not know before what would be required! So what would be the modern day understanding? Bring all your money before you leave home when you come to the service--He might ask for it!!

Worship is submit to the lordship of the Most High! He has the ownership of everything. When you tell the Most High have Thine own way--That is a dangerous prayer this acknowledges that you know that all of this stuff is His and He may require you to give it all away.

Now you can finally understand the young rich ruler who came to Yahusha, Luke 18:18-23 (KJV) 18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

19 And Yahusha said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 22 Now when Yahusha heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

Look at that, Yahusha is trying to get worship from the guy. He's trying to get ownership of what he's still hanging on to--He said, take everything you have and give it to the poor and come follow me. The scripture says and he was very rich and he was sad. In other words he never worshipped, he kept ownership. If The Most High says I want everybody to lay on the ground today. If your first thought is in this dress?? It cost me $300!! You lost the Most High. Or maybe He will say for you to kneel but you say but my knee is hurting. What if your healing was in your kneeling on the floor? Remember the scripture that we read earlier, it said, if you worship Me I will heal you! Fiveamprayer we have to find out if there is anything that you have in your life that has more worth than the Most High!

We have to realize that what we were giving the Most High as worship is not what He calls worship!! Suppose you come in one Sabbath morning and He says all that you have been doing, I don’t want that. That He might say, I know that you spent all that time getting ready and I want you to lay out on the floor. Do what He wants, that is yielding to the Owner of all things--that is worship.

Could you imagine kings taking off their crowns I'm laying them down in submit to the King of All! To say that You the Most High have supreme authority!! Will you take off your crown and put it at His feet? That is worship! Suppose the Most High decides to take another offering--will you give in, submit His plan? When you understand that the first offering you gave was His as well as the second one, that He is the one who gave you the job to be able to have an offering to give. As is the car that takes you to the job, is His and the gas that you put in the car, is His!! So are you trying to keep from Him what is already His no matter how you look at it???

So if you are not got to give Him what is His, when He asks--He takes it all from you, destroys everything! So now you have to start over from the bottom and you ask why the Most High, and it is because you wanted to keep ownership!

We come to worship, ready to give all. The Sabbah should be the most wonderful experience in your tabernacle! You should not go into that meeting with any preconceived ideas or the way you expect it to be. Because He can ask for anything! Psalm 29:2 (KJV) Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Psalm 95:6-7 (KJV) 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. 7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

We worship because we know from Whom everything comes!! That's why we worship!! Worship is a response of a revelation! The opposite of worship is, number 1 lack of gratitude. You may have thought it was hasatan--it isn't. The opposite of worship is lack of gratitude when you stop being thankful to the sustainer and the creator of all things, you are opposing worship. Another opposite of worship, is self praise when you start taking the credit for everything that you're doing you are self worshiping. Number three of the opposite of worship is self credit you are telling the world that it is you, who brought you, this far. Like that saying you have heard, I am a self-made millionaire. What are you talking you about?? You are about to be like Nebuchadnezzar--Daniel 4:30 King James Version (KJV) The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

Daniel 4:33 (KJV) The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

The Most High turned a king into a beast when he said that he made himself great! It's incredible when you start becoming self-centered!! Number four the opposite of worship is selfish pride. This is what Lucifer fell from. What made Lucifer fall, it is very simple he wanted self worship, he got fired! His job was to make sure everybody worshiped the Most High. He was in charge of the music department, the worship department. See you got to watch your job, because when you start wanting the attention on you rather than the one you're trying to get us to worship, you're about to lose your job!! Pride comes--just before a fall! What is pride, it is self-centeredness. This is about me, it's about me, it's about me! I practice all week and pastor tell me I cannot sing today, then you are angry for three months! This ain't about you remember? He could ask for whatever he wants! Remember? And He might not want your dance today. What He wants is your good attitude--today and it all belongs to him the attitude and the dance! Moses says we gotta take it all, because we don't know what He is gonna ask for. Some of us are being held up because we are not being obedient when He ask for what is His!

This lack of worship is getting in the way of what the Most High wants to do! He may tell you to go home and you give away your sofa. And you may say, that is my favorite place to sit. What you do not realize is that in giving away that sofa allowed Him to replace that sofa with more than that, it was for a new house as well!!!! This holding on to the sofa--means that you think it's yours, you're not worshiping!!!
Job 1:20-21 (KJV) 20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Now you understand why Job got seven times back!! You finally understand that this verse shows that Job understood that the Most High is the owner and in control of everything! You can see the total worship Job gave. Job said look, the wife is His, the children is His, the cow and the goat is His, and the barns! That is, so whatever the Most High allowed to be taken was His anyhow!! If He took it, He took it--if He give it back, He give it back whatever--He want to do, blessed be the name of the Most High!!! See when you say that in the middle of the situation--you telling Him You own the situation!! That's worship!!! You don't just praise the Most High when things go good because, even the bad things belong to the Most High!

Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Job understood all things came from the Most High, and he realized he was sustained by the Most High--the minute Job did this. The Most High turn the captivity. The Most High is taking you through and allows you to go through what you are going through--to see if you could sing in the middle of it? He is testing His lordship over your life--worship is acknowledging total dependency on the Most High! Can we fully say, to Him--everything is Yours?

Yahusha understood worship, Matthew 4:8-10 (KJV) 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Yahusha unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

The worship is only to and for the owner--the Most High alone! How can hasatan offer to give to the Most High what is already His? How can hasatan offer to Yahusha, the Owner of everything His own stuff and also ask to have credit for creating it?? That is what he was telling the Most High. To tell him that he made everything. Listen to the words of Yahusha away from me Satan for it is written worship the owner-- stop right there don't go any further! He didn't say worship the thief!!! If you stole this from my kids how can you give me what is mine?! Only give credit to the owner who is the Most High, to him only do you submit!!!

Yahusha says hasatan you can't take credit for what belongs to me and you can tell me to give you the credit!! That was foolish, of hasatan trying to tell the Most High--to tell him you made all of this! Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

So don't you ever give a devil credit even for those things that ain't quite comfortable. What did Job say naked I came and naked I leave out! Which means whatever I got on He gave to me, whatever I live it in, he gave to me! All that I have He gave it to me!!

Job is saying to us if He give it or take it--He is the owner of it all!!! The Most High decides how and what to do with His property!! We see with Job that the Most High says I AM going to turn this man’s situation around now!!!

Fiveamprayer we have to fully realize that everything is from You, Most High! Everything we have--including us, is Yours!! He is the owner of it all your house, your car, your clothes!!! Everything!!!

We must get a revelation of Him being our Source and The source of all!! That is worship!

Luke 12:16-20 (KJV) 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

The Most High was not against this young man's wealth read carefully, He was against this spirit of ‘mine’. All that we have claimed, give back to the Owner and Creator of it all!! He is the only one who can fix it! That is why you can not fix it, because you don’t own that person or situation! Lighten your load and understand that it all belongs to Him--give it all back to HIM! He alone can we submit to as the Most High, King and Ruler of the Universe!!
