Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I’m so exhausted of the church on church crime, the church as usual, the so devil predictable, religious mundane traditions of men that make the Word of God of none effect. I loathe the fighting against each other, killing each other in the name of LOVE, while on the same team (body of Christ). So disgusted with the “do what you did last Sunday” syndrome, the same old same old rehearsed song list. I’m ready for the fresh and spontaneous, pure and exotic (not from this world, but from Heaven) worship. Pure Worship that comes from a lifestyle in holy abandonment to God, not the radio or a song list. (John 4:23-24) Worship from a heart that is penetrated and is influenced by Heaven.

I’m ready for the unusual, expecting unexpected, the ridiculous miraculous, Worship unplugged. To become more aggressive in my love for God, myself, and others, even my “frenemies.”  No more church services but THRONE ROOM GATHERINGS. No more man dictated moves but a great awakening and movement of God, in the hearts of mankind. No more cultural and denominational bends of worship but worship without limits, coming from the heart of God. No more God-limiting karaoke worship but pure hearted spontaneous, ebb and flow worship.

God doesn’t desire lip-service, but hearts surrendered in service to Him with mercy. How we treat each other, reflects how we treat Yahweh. How we treat each other when we don’t agree, is a part of our worship towards God. We don’t worship, worship (a form, routine, this is how WE do it), but we worship the One and only living and true God. How can we say we love Yahweh, but hate our brother or sister, destructively criticizing another church or ministry, because their vision is different from ours? Then we try and spiritualize and justify not speaking to one another by saying it’s God, when it’s really our hearts rooted in judgment, bitterness, and division. (John 4:19-21).

True worshippers live by what they see the Father do, not what the world is doing. (Romans 12:1-4) True worshipers live by what they hear the Father say, not by hearsay. (Matthew 4:4) Yahweh has given us the ministry of reconciliation not isolation. The world will know that we are Christ’s disciples not by our giftings, name tags, forms of godliness, and worship “performances,” but by our love exemplary towards each other. (John 13:35)

The Father is sore displeased with us worshipping out of someone Pinocchio-stringing us along,  (always telling us what to do, let’s take 30 seconds to pump the audience jargon), in lieu of worshipping Him out of a personal love affair. (2 Timothy 3:5)

Pure worship is not predicated on our skills, our talents, nor our abilities but pure worship is Christ centered obedience, focused on his ability. If when we approach our Holy of holies God, we are never convicted to change or repent, then we haven’t really worshipped or been in the presence of God.

I’m repenting for neglecting the presence of God. I’m repenting for not worshipping withal my heart. I renounce and denounce every worldly, false, religious way, and every hidden thing of dishonesty, that has polluted my worship. LORD, PURIFY MY HEART, THAT I MAY GIVE YOU WHAT YOU DESIRE & NOT JUST WHAT I WANT TO GIVE. Father, I rededicate my life to you today in sweet surrender, and willing obedience… Teach me how to worship, teach me how to pray, to bring heaven down on earth, and enjoy what brings you pleasure. I hope you find pleasure with my worship and my Praise. I hope it brings laughter to your heart, and tears to your eyes. And that you would allow that laughter to fall on us like NEW WINE, and the tears to fall on us like GLORY RAIN. I will to do your will. I love to love you. I pour my love on you like perfume.

When we create an atmosphere conducive for God, then God shows up and inhabits the worship. However, when we create an atmosphere conducive for people, then people show up and dictate the flow. We want an encounter and pure move of God, not a manufactured move of man. We want a habitation not a visitation…Selah
