Title: How to become THAT worshiper.
POINT #1: Where your life of worship is NOW, is not where you want it to BE.
Matthew 6:33- "But seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you as well."
Seeking first take discipline!
"Since worship is a lifestyle, then our life must produce a worship - style."
How this happens:
A-The First Step- This step is the hardest step, and it is the bravest step.
B-It takes Humility- 1 Peter 5:6-"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time."
POINT #2: Draw a line in the sand.
1 John 2:15 “Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. V.16- For everything that belongs to the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in ones lifestyle-is not from the Father, but is from the world.”
"There is no MY way and God's way."
"Our approach to God will determine the outcome of who we are becoming as a worshiper." We approach Him with reverence, respect, with praise, with godly fear, in repentance, and with an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving." POINT #3: Embrace the Process
John 3:17- "For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world would be saved through Him."
After salvation, what you establish, IN your worship, is who you will be in the future AS you worship. Philippians 1:6- "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
"Don't overlook or short change the process. The prices is in place for a purpose."
"The work HE BEGAN may take a lifetime to complete, but it BEGINS WITH our daily choice to worship."
POINT #4: Choose to make the Switch
Joshua 24:15- "Choose today whom you will serve." Serving is an act of worship. (choose this day whom you will worship) "For who or what you worship, is who or what you will serve."
Colossians 3:17- "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you worship, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
