Unworldly Worship

.........The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. (Exo 3:18)

The Father is looking and calling for true worshipers, but it is a call out of the world’s ways, standards and charms of the world. Egypt is the picture of the world which we are called out and three days is a picture of death and resurrection.  Therefore the worship that the Father is looking for involves dying to all that the world esteems and values, not to invite and integrate. The world carries a different spirit which is dead to God’s Spirit.

And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? (Exo 8:26)

If the world agrees and accepts our worship it tells about the spirit of the worship. The spirit that connects with the Father is as Jesus defines as having the element of truth. Truth is when our heart have been tried by God and offer out of uprightness of heart (1 Chron 29:17). God is not looking first for talent, musicality, correctness although these are out of an excellent spirit, but a man or woman that has been tried by His purification fire and willingly yielding to allow God to do deeper work. Worship is not cheap, it cost a man or a woman the whole heart.
