V. Worship That Is?
The basic meaning which differentiate the praise and worship are:
Praise = praise: Going into the very presence of God.
Worship: Enjoying God's presence.
Definition of worship:
A. Aksih intimate and full of dialogue between God and man are made constantly in everyday life.
2. Disclosure of heart about love, adulation and praise of God.
3. Ability to glorify God with our whole being, spirit, body and soul.
4. People in the know lakitab in worship, namely: Abraham. Genesis 22:5. Job. Job 1:20. David. 2 Sam.12: 20.
A. Basics of the Word of God.
Exodus 15:20 Miriam the entire nation of Israel praised the greatness of the God of Israel who had won the war. "Sing ye to the Lord, for He had triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea".
A. Kel.15: 1. "... I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea". At this time Moses sang a victory for God. In the song is said that our God is a man of war (paragraph 3).
2. Joshua 5:13-14. Also speaks of God who loves fighting warlords.
3. 2 Taw.20 :1-25. Also emphasizes how God is at war gives his secret to his prophet that praises a very important role in the battle and defeat the enemy.
B. Scream (scream) In War. (The Shout In The Warfare).
A. Joshua 5:20. Joshua conquered the nation of Israel memimpn walls of Jericho with a shout (cheers).
2. Hak.7: 20. Gideon with his army to conquer the nation's 300 Median with shouts (cheers).
Inside we scream we do not focus on an enemy or an emotion but to God who has given us victory over the situation around.
In the fourth verse we see there is some abnormality of what we usually see in the war. Usually our main focus in the war is our enemy, but if we focus in God we are no longer enemies, but God is the answer to our problems and then praising God for His steadfast love is endless.
C. Praise glorifying God (The High Praise Of God).
Maz.149: 6. "Let praise glorifying God in their throats." This is the only verse that speaks of praise and glorification of God there are three meanings of this praise:
A. Most praises the "lift" (Intensive level of praise). The point is that maybe we all have didlaam meetings where not long ago we sing we suddenly feel the presence of God so strong and makes us free to worship in freedom.
2. Praise in Heaven (the Angels) united with praise in the earth. Angels in heaven praise and worship 24 hours a day, and on Earth when we praise the Lord with all my heart to praise (praise the victim) and the combined worship of praise for the glorification of God's glory is (are both praising and glorifying Allah).
3. In the third section we will look more deeply about what happens in Nature Spirit (heavenly) is a spiritual battle.
Daniel 10:1-14 speaks of Daniel's prayer and prayer has been answered since he said it but the devil is trying to sabotage it from God. Through this verse we understand that the forces of darkness rule the whole of heaven and earth: Countries, Cities, Households and even individuals.
The various forms of spiritual warfare we can do such as: Prayer, Fasting, and lately the Lord began to reveal that spiritual warfare can also be done through praise.
Maz.149 speaks of glory and a double-edged sword, or the Word of God. This is what the devil hates, because the next verse states that the devil was tortured, shackled and sentenced by the praise and the word of God (The secret truth / teaching). And the end is open evangelism, souls saved, for example:
Luke 24:53. They always are in the house of God to glorify God / Praising God.
Kis.2: 41. Those who receive His words gave him baptized and apda day their numbers grow approximately 3000 people.
So the purpose of spiritual praise in spiritual warfare is evangelism. As a result of binding, imprison, and torture and punish the evil the souls are released from the clutches of the devil.
We just raised the banner of high praise and witness to the faith of God's power is released and words fill the whole earth.
Isaiah 30:32. "For every blow inflicted with a stick penghajar God keatasnya (musushNya), accompanied by tambourine and harp, and he will fight against Assyria with the swinging arms for war". The musicians come-use tool to accompany the Lord alatmu enemy.
Isaiah 25:7. "And on this mountain the Lord will rend the fabric of mourning diselubungkan the tribes and a hood that ditudungkan to all nations". And see also 2 Corinthians 4:3-4. In the above verse it says "this mountain" This is Zion guung place of praise. Mount Moses is a place of sacrifice (the victim), while Zion is the center of music, song and praise.
Isaiah 31:4. ".. Says the Lord of hosts will come down to war to defend the Mount Zion and the evidence".
Isaiah 66:6. "Listen, the sound of an uproar from the city, hear, coming from the temple. Listen to God to avenge kepda his enemies ". Uproar what happened? It is the glorification of God's praise that comes out of the Temple (Church of God) at the end of this age.
Psalm 144:1. Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who teaches my hands for battle and my fingers for battle. "God wanted to prepare and train the musicians and worship leaders to get didlaam war. He wants to train her to play piano, guitar, drums, violin, bass, voice as well, for what? Log in battle with praise and glorification of God to destroy the enemy. HalleluYah.
Log In War.
In the service of our enemies is not a church. What should we do if we have a situation where the church is difficult to bring praise to God. The answer is: Collect all musicians, singers and worship leaders to pray and praise amsuk in exaltation of God and the binding power of darkness which bind the church to praise God.
