You should not redefine God, you should let the Spirit reveal who He is.
Wall Street Journal article on “Redefining God”.
The article stated: "Across the country, the faithful are Redefining God, dissatisfied with conventional images of an authoritarian and paternalistic deity.
People are embracing quirky, individualistic conceptions of God to suit their own spiritual needs.
This is not just a world-wide culture. Even the churches today, have a tendency to redefine God and create a God that looks a lot like us, thinks like us and who is comfortable with our lifestyles and lukewarm faith.
One seminary professor said, “People seek out new gods the way they seek out new products in the marketplace”.
Do not create a false image of God to suit your lifestyle or personal desires - "you shall have no other God before Me (Deut 5:7)
Main Scripture - Romans 12:1-2
Five main points to change your life to "A life of Worship":
- Love and Honour God (Read Daniel 4:30 and 34)
- You are formed for family (Romans 9:8 and 1 John 3:1-2)
- Grow Spiritually (Galatians 6:8 and Romans 12:2)
- You are shaped to serve God (SHAPE = Spiritual gifts, Heart or godly desires, Abilities, Personality, and Experience. )
- Spread the word of God (Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8)
A Life of worship is equal to The great commission of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-39.
“Love God with all your heart,” “Love your neighbour as yourself,” “Go and make disciples,” “baptize them into [God’s family],” and “teach them to do all things” through discipleship.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. (Col 3:12)

InFlame Ministries is based in Tauranga, New Zealand, and is founded and directed by Josh and Amberley Klinkenberg.
InFlame began, almost by accident, in 2010 when Josh and Amberley were in prayer together and felt a deep stirring to create a training ground for New Zealand worshippers who - up until that time - had to leave the country to be trained and equipped in prophetic worship. InFlame began with a passion and desire to see the indigenous sounds and songs of our land and other nations welcomed and valued in the Kingdom.

Take time today to hear this call of Jesus personally. We all know what it is to crave rest, but do you feel like you are at the end and want to quit? This invitation is open to you. He calls to you by name. Come. Take. Learn. Find. Jesus leads like no other, he is gentle and lowly. A servant. Today we consider the Jesus the servant, and how as we respond to Him our lives become transformed. We learn from Him, the King who became a servant, and discover in Him the rest our souls crave.

Psalm 147:4. He determine the number of the stars — Which no man can do, for those which astronomers number are only such as are most distinctly visible to the eye, and most considerable for their influences. He gives them all their names — That is, “He as distinctly and exactly knows them, how numerous soever they be…
This study shows the origin and the nature to the problem with Israel. Commencing with Abraham going through key events that help understand that it is not a political problem but a spiritual one.
This study reveals what is going on in Israel today from a Jewish perspective. It also reveals the prophetic clock and what will be taking place in the coming years. Though it touches on eschatology it does not address a specific view, but shows what is being planned. It is quite awake up call for the church as key prophecies are on the threshold of coming to pass.
