IMPORTANT MINISTRY UPDATE:

For a short time we've limited PraiseandWorship.com to this one page. God's commandment is important in teaching Biblical based Praise and Worship. Please take time to read the information below. Pray for the Lord to restore your life to be a continued walk in God's definition of Praise and Worship.

 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

What is God's definition of Praise and Worship?

Mr. Noah Webster was a Godly man, anointed by The Holy Spirit, to bring a dictionary form definition of the English language. From the written information below, you may search out in your heart What is true Praise and Worship to God? In prayer, which gives revelation to God's truths, He will show you His meaning of praise and worship in your personal life. I am but one part of the Body of Christ. Individually we are different parts, working together as one to edify Jesus and to be His Church. Thus, I can not relate an exact musical form to you in individually praising and worshiping. The word speaks "You shall worship me in Spirit and in Truth". Jesus is our pure example to follow. As you ask God how He desires you to Praise and Worship, I guarantee He shall teach you. In each culture, many forms of music driven praise and worship are acceptable to God. Yet as God desires Truth Holy Spirit driven praise and worship, there is a definitive flow in Spiritualism that draws worship and praise from man that is not acceptable to God. This is where an individual or church assembly falls away from the true Holy Spirit and from the Truth of Jesus and the true Word. Satan is an imposter, He deceives mankind, then accepts all praise and worship offerings that cannot enter into the purity of God's presence heaven. Satan is very happy when He leads any person away from the Lord's truth via the fake anti-Spirit that imitates Jesus. In our world, this is a very present apostasy, an anti-Christ spiritual flow is very apparent. For even "the elect shall be deceived" as true Christians accept false teachings that lead to destruction. Grace covers this today but seasons shall change. God is the same yesterday, today and forever so we must relate our love for Him in life. The importance of Godly lifestyles and remaining pure from sin allows your praise and worship to be pleasing unto God. In each individual, praise and worship must become a 24/7 lifestyle. This means each believer totally submitted to God as living sacrifices, in 100% obedience only to His written word, following only His commandments and always doing and living within the will of the Lord. We must confess all sins and remain as Children submitted to a father. One could write a book on this subject yet at present please read the dictionary definitions below and ask God in prayer and meditation how He desires YOU to praise and worship only Him. Follow your heart, His word and live for Jesus! Selah.

Poem- The Battle

 The act of confusion is ringing in the air

Prayers in vain rise into the troops deep despair

The shadow is rising from the valley of sin

A battle is raging, what time is it going to end

 The Prince takes mount on a heavenly steed

His intentions are to protect His warriors in need

The angels of darkness have seemed to overcome

Though the soldiers grow weary, His battle has not yet begun

 The field of victory shows scars from years in this pain

Oh the doubt of the soldiers has placed them in chains

As the enemy still contemplates the fall of each man

The Prince arrives to fulfill His Father’s battle plan

 His sword is then raised and the dark enemies flee

The soldiers cry upward and shout with great glee

This time is now the troops choose to overcome

As the darkness becomes light, by the power of God’s Son

 The enemies are bound into the eternal lake of fire

The aura of sin is replaced by faith and desire

Our prince has brought peace to this battle today

In His ride from this field we all heard him say:

 Your cries have shed tears on this battles field

Through trials you’ve found the pain that you yield

Did you believe the parable each reaps what is sown

How could you show defeat when your victory was known

Belief is Childlike faith; my Spirit shall guide your way

With my Word as your sword, victory is yours every day
