But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him (John 4:23).
Some Christians believe God made them "prayer warriors," and they’re wrong, because true worshippers are what He seeks; not "prayer warriors." If they’d become worshippers, they won’t need to "war" in prayers. What are they "warring" against in the first place? Is it Satan? He’s been defeated. Could it be the world? Jesus said, "I have overcome the world"; and He did it for us.
Perhaps, they’re "warring" against the flesh then; but that’s also pointless, because Galatians 5:24 says, "And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." When you know this, you won’t need to "war" in prayers; you’ll rather worship the Lord from your heart—in spirit and in truth—for who He is and for all He’s done. Worship creates the atmosphere for the divine touch of the Spirit in your life. He didn’t tell us to worship Him so we could get "something" from Him, or so He could take some glory out of it; no. He wants us to worship Him because when we do, our spiritual eyes are opened to behold His glory. At that point, you forget about yourself because He’s the only One who matters. His glory mantles your entire being and you’re transformed in His presence, and lifted to higher levels! The world just seems to melt away; all you see is the Lord as you’re absorbed in His love. So, give Him true worship today, and walk in the Word in continual victory.
Prayer
Dear Father, you’ve made my life so beautiful; you’ve crowned me with your glory and filled me with your wisdom, righteousness, mercies and grace. For these, O Lord, I worship you; for you alone are God. You’re exalted above the heavens, and your glory is upon my life, and revealed in all the earth. All honour, majesty and power are yours now and forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
