Pure, Genuine, Authentic from the heart Worship for the Yeshua the King. As a worship leader, psalmist, minstrel, and still endeavoring and emerging to worship, I’ve discovered that many times we have failed to give God what he desires.
Oftentimes, we give Yahweh a “Cain offering,” which is giving to God what “you” want to give. However, an “Abel offering,” is giving God what he desires and requires. Our spiritual assignment, as we gather is not to manipulate people’s emotions, pump and prime the audience, or make the people get into the presence of the King. Our agenda is HEAVEN, our assignment is to solely minister to the King of kings, simply be in the presence of the King. Provide an atmosphere that is conducive for the King.
Some of us have become major user-friendly churches but not God friendly habitations. Some of us are more consumed with having many numbers in attendance in lieu of being consumed with Christ, our Hope of Glory. Then we say to The Lord, “Have your way,” but if he begins to move we want to dictate the move or put him on a time constraint. Praise and Worship is entertainment for the audience and not entertaining the audience of One-the King. We are more motivated by the display of someone’s talent, than the pure presence of The Lord.
Lord, I’m sorry for the things I’ve made it, when it’s supposed to be about you. Lord, draw us back to the HEART of WORSHIP…YOU LORD…Selah

Pure Glory 
We live in a consumer society and it has trickled over to churches where people come to “get” something from church rather than “giving” ourselves to the Lord through worship. May the church be focused on created disciples for the Lord not numbers of people who simply attend. May church be a place where people have an encounter with the Lord and grow in their knowledge and love of Him.

Yes, God is calling us to give what he desires as worship. He wants our hearts and close relationship where we spend more time listening and obeying him. 😀

“Church” should be many things, but PRIMARILY it is a place where His blood-bought, adopted children gather for collective, yet individual WORSHIP.
