Rediscovering Kingdom Worship


INTRODUCTION


From the third chapter of Genesis to the end of the Book of Revelation, we find Yah trying to get His people back to the intimate relationship He had with Adam and Eve in the beginning. Because Yah is holy, perfect, and pure, it is impossible for man, who has been conceived in iniquity since the fall of Adam and Eve, to stand in the presence of Yah without an atonement.


Yah gave Moses the plan for allowing Himself to dwell in the presence of His people through the building of the ark of Yah and the tabernacle of Yah. Through these rituals and sacrifices prescribed by Yah, the high priest was able to come into the presence of the Almighty and represent the people.


However, through King David, Yah shows us He desires more than just the blood and sacrifice of selected animals; He desires a pure and contrite heart. Yahusha, in His dialogue with the Samaritan woman, tells us that Yah is looking for worshipers who will worship Him in spirit and truth.


When Yahusha taught the disciples the Most High’s prayer, He said “.... Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven ....” In the heavenly experience of Isaiah in the sixth chapter of the Book of Isaiah, and John in Revelation, we see what is being done in Heaven continually: praise and worship.


Praise and worship has always been the avenue into the presence of our Yah. We can talk about Him, do things for


Him, and even pray to Him, but it is only through praise and worship that we are allowed to be in the presence of our Great Creator.


In this series it teaches us:


How to praise and worship


Whom to praise and worship


Where to praise and worship


When to praise and worship


The power of praise and worship The patterns of praise and worship


The principles of praise and worship The practicals of praise and worship The purpose of praise and worship
This series is a must read for those who have a passion to know the heart of Yah. I prophesy and predict that it will become required or recommended reading in many schools, colleges, universities, and for students throughout the world.


“Yah came near. I know He was right there with me.” What wonderful words! What a glorious experience! Sadly, such experiences come all too infrequently to most of us. Yet life without Yah’s presence was not His original plan for us. He designed us to know Him, living in close, intimate fellowship with Him. That’s why life is so difficult and unfulfilling for so many people. We are living without the one thing that is essential for our fulfillment and well- being. We are living without the continuous, enduring presence of Yah.


Whenever you live without a vital, ongoing relationship with Yah, you have no hope of finding true happiness or of fulfilling the purpose for which you were born. You simply cannot function properly and effectively outside the environment of Yah’s presence.


YOU WERE CREATED TO LIVE IN Yah’S PRESENCE. LIFE ANYWHERE ELSE IS A DISTORTED, DISSATISFYING IMITATION.


The purpose of this series is to teach you the conditions under which Yah’s presence draws near to us. For you see,

Yah’s presence is conditional. He doesn’t come simply because we want Him to. He comes when the conditions are right. Only as we learn to establish and maintain the conditions that He has ordained for His coming, can we hope to know the joy of living in His presence on a daily, moment-by-moment basis.


So read and study this series until the principles and truths taught here become a natural part of your thinking. Allow them to equip and inspire you to create the conditions in your life that will welcome the presence of the Most High Yahusha Hamachiach and of His Ruach HaQadesh. Then you will grow and flourish, finding the joy and fulfillment that only life in the presence of Almighty Yah can bring.
