We were created with the sole purpose to live a life that is glorifying to God; and seeing that all of us were created with free will it makes sense that we release healing and restoration molecules as we worship the Lord Jesus/Yeshua. Our DNA is basically like the "blueprint" of inherited genetic molecular material for our unique identities and research shows that they make necessary changes in us for the better as we mediate on the Word of God. (Proverbs 4: 20-23)
Worshiping the Lord means we are totally surrendered to Christ. Maybe the reason I feel lead to help define worship here is that worship truly defines us and our entire purpose for living. It means putting everything else aside because it is all about the Lord Jesus. Personally I believe that worshiping the Lord ought to extend throughout our individual lives without ceasing, because worshiping the Lord involves our entire lives in what we think, say and do. Isn't this part of what Jesus said when he instructed us in Luke 9:23," And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Can you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow after Christ without truly worshiping him?
Here is the thing, gathering the church together to meet once a week only gives us a "potential" time of entering into place of true worship. It is not so much about the music as it about the relationship you have with the Lord. If the people who attend the church hearts are not focused on Jesus and if they haven't been living a life that is glorifying to Christ all week long, what reason is there to suppose they will suddenly change all this on Sunday morning so signs and wonders, healing and miracles shall follow you? Those people may act as if they are very enthusiastic about the things of God once they are inside the building and the service has begun, but as the Holy Scriptures reveals to us, Papa God looks at the heart moment to moment.
1 Samuel 16:7,"But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
If you are giving Papa God all your heart through what Jesus made possible for you and it's coming out of a life of true worship, it will be what the Lord delights in and requires so your prayers may be answered. Our weekly corporate church meetings should simply be the culmination of an entire week of obedience as we live a life that is glorifying God in our moment to moment, daily choices. So that when we do gather together as the church we shall experience the most genuine, meaningful and passionate corporate times of true worship when the congregation has been living worship all week long. Psalm 22:3,"But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel."
