Here is a sample from my new book, “THE WORSHIP REVOLUTION”…pre-order a copy HERE
Worship is the foundation of who we are called to be. It is the core of our being. If we are going to experience God’s kingdom on earth then it is going to take a Worship Revolution. Worship should be at the center of everything we are and do as followers of Christ. A Worship Revolution changes the very way Christianity moves forward. It ushers in God’s presence on this earth. A Worship Revolution fuels the heart of evangelism. A Worship Revolution does not try to convince people to follow Jesus, it compels them to run after Him. It causes us to be so in love with Jesus that sin is disgusting, (yes, even the thought of it turns us in the other direction). It pushes us to spend our lives in His presence so that there is no idle time to mess around with the temptation and the traps of the enemy. A Worship Revolution transforms us daily into the people God has called us to be.
This revolution starts with a group of people that won’t settle for anything less than what God has destined for them. This revolution births a new breed of worshipers all around the world. Not just church goers, but devoted, pursuers of God. A group of people that are driven with passion, power and purpose for a cause beyond themselves. Those who overflow with compassion for others because of their love for God. Those whose battle cry is…
Psalm 24:3-6
Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
The Generation…
Worship Revolutionists are not content with “making camp” at the base of the mountain. They desire to go to the heights where God’s presence is. We read in the book of Exodus that God’s chosen people, the Children of Israel, escaped generations of slavery under Egypt’s control. God raised up a revolutionist named Moses to lead them out of bondage into the promised land He had for them. A land of freedom and provision for their every need. Yet, just a few chapters later, after they escaped Egypt’s control, the same people began to complain about traveling through the desert. They lost sight of what God had done for them. They lost their way because of greed, selfishness, and sin. They wandered in the desert for forty years because of their attitude and disobedience to God.
Exodus 19:1-3a
On the first day of the third month after the Israelites left Egypt —on that very day—they came to the Desert of Sinai. After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain. Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord God called to him from the mountain…
During their journey, the Children of Israel came to the Desert of Sinai where they set up camp for a time. They became quite content with camping out at the base of Mount Sinai while Moses went up to the high places to meet with God. Moses was a worship revolutionist. He was willing to give up to go up (give up everything to go up the mountain and be with God). Are we willing to give up our comfort to go up and meet with God like Moses did? God spoke the secrets of His heart to Moses in the high places. God showed Moses a glimpse of who He was on the mountaintop. Moses had a God encounter while the others lived their familiar normal lives at the base…
