Supernaturally Natural: Rethink The Way We, The Church, Worships Corporately - Part I
From Supernaturally Natural: Chapter 15 manuscript by Anthony Bachman
“Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is Jerusalem.”
Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:19-24)
“There is safety in trusting the Holy Spirit!”
“There is safety in trusting the Holy Spirit!”
“There is safety in trusting the Holy Spirit.”
“There is safety in trusting the Supernatural!”
In the next series of 27 blogs I will challenge the Church with different mindsets about corporate worship if we are to allow the Holy Spirit to “lead” and “teach” the Church in “all truth.” Allowing the Rhema Word, the living Word, to activate the Logos Word, the written Word, the Bible, in all the Church does will produce life, expectancy, excitement, and fruit when believers come together to worship.
Actually the following blogs are taken from a manuscript that I have written entitled Supernaturally Natural, Chapter 15 Rethink the Way We Worship Corporately. I apologize for the length of some of the blogs, but I tried to cut down the chapter into segments, some short, some long. Hopefully the “mindsets” sections will challenge the way we as a Church currently thinks about doing corporate worship, while also encouraging us to allow the Holy Spirit to reshape the Church to prepare the Bride for His return. Incase we have forgotten, “there is safety in trusting the Holy Spirit”. If we learn to trust the Holy Spirit, then we will worship in “Spirit” and in “Truth” as John 4:19-24 has so amply shown us.
I hope that you take the challenge of this adventure and the challenge of different mindsets towards what worship is and how to do it individually and corporately, which I will try to post daily until its completion.
