Psalms 150:1-6 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

"Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest you also be like him.
Answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest he be wise in his own eyes." Proverbs 26:4-5​
So let me get this straight we are in the bible discussion forum where we discuss but your excuse to not answering me is the scripture that you used to hide behind not being able to refute my post.

Don't use scripture as a way to free yourself of having to account to your words.

You called it hogwash but can't prove it and you can call me a fool but at least I will give an account for what I have said.

well it wasn't knowledge or wisdom that brought me to the key of worship I had the knowledge of it but wow when he was like let me show what worship rreally is the knowledge I had of worship was made insanely real.

When we talk about praise and worship it is usually in a way that makes it seem like that is all it is just praise and worship but it is so much more than that and the life that fills you up the joy that it brings how you cannot help but dance as you are in deep communion with God.... It is something that brings a certain truth to you a revelation and a new found connection with him.
positive words friend and Amen bro it happens everyday,

The lord is working well for you in your relationship, it's always a joy to hear from the lord this way in another person's walk it can be really encouraging.

Theres so many ways the lord reaches us but I find just going for a daily walk helps me to receive prayer for my daily motivational needs in my walks.

I tend to get more of a connection with the lord when I'm doing something positive or when I've had time to unwind and relax, but everyday I believe it is his daily Gift of knowledge he gives me when I discern everyday between temptation and the spiritual warfare battle of negative spirits just wanting me to give up.

Theres a time everyday when feelings become influenced it's then when the lord carries me and I also feel a spiritual presence that draws me into worship the simple wonders of his Joys and strengths.

Brother it's so good to see you regaining strength. 😊

Before my eyes went bad going on walks with him was a daily ritual for me sometimes several times a day I really miss it he used nature and even ants to teach me and help me grow deeper with him

Nowadays since I can't leave my apartment I find taking a shower or even just laying in bed just laying there and talking with him brings a special kind of connection.

As far as knowledge goes he does indeed teach and speak to us in every way imaginable you just have to be listening. I do know of this spiritual presence you speak of that leads you to worship Whenever I am going into worship it is a presence that I can feel in my room and then from inside I can feel it rising. Ah but the discernment you spoke of that is very wisewe can easily confuse spiritual warfare with our own feelings or problems that have an outside source. Real spiritual warfare the kind where you go face to face with these things is different there have even been times when I literally had to use Jesus as a shield I had to have him fight the battle for me.

And I agree about the encouragement that comes from other believers walks that is how it is supposed to be we are to lift and encourage each other not attack and argue with each other.

I wish you where close by friend I wouldn't hesitate to form a close friendship with you and go for walks with you.
Could you not get a Labrador?.

Friend its mean spirit of the unclean spirit world that hate the truth, when the truth is about how a fellow servant can overcome, and wonder into a frequency with the lord that shuts all doors tight on unclean spirits holding people in bondage my friend we can truly worship this😊
The lord will tread on your enemies friend and every disease. 😊

That would be really amazing honestly just going on walks again would be such a blessing.
But things are the way they are for a reason and maybe in a way had everything not gone the way it did and is going I likely wouldn't have found this bond with him that I did.

It's kind of like that age old question if you could go back and fix things would you knowing that it was how things went that made you who you are now.

And if I recall there is a sect in heaven who specifically sing praise and worship to him all day every day I can't say I blame them if you truly understood his majesty and glory you would too

yes truly friend have you tried singing all day with a microphone your self.

Can I tell you something about the spirit of lord creating a shield around you from unclean spirits when you sing😊.

We can truly worship this bro.

When you sing Gods spirit travels and spreads out from you but more so with an echo chamber.

This is the best mic you'll ever buy it has a built in speaker with echo chamber, that when you sing Gods spirit will fill your whole room, with the frequency you talked about when connecting with God. Which carried and fills the whole room, where unclean spirits flee, it's truly Amazing. You can truly reçieve revaluations.

Best part is even if you have a poor singing voice it will sound Good through this echo chamber.

You can truly start to love your voice lol

Well I know that when I am in worship I seem to be in a kind of golden light almost like a fog so that may be what your talking about.

This also is when I have the most intense and interactive moments with him I don't just sing with my lips it's like the words come from deep inside not my tongueI don't tend to have issues with spirits when I am in worship but I imagine if they tried anything they would be busy covering their ears worshipping God really does get to them

And God sent the Priest to David and dealt with David over Bathsheba and sins.

But, do you know what God did not have the Priest do?
Condemn David of how he worshiped Yahweh.
In all of David's forms of Worship, God was so pleased, that's why God said, "David was a man after God's Own heart."
David did a multitude or wrongs that he was not called out on. For example, failing to discipline Absolom. Yes, David was a man after God's own heart but he was far from perfect.

Being after God's own heart does not mean having a heart like God's. It's merely a way of saying after God's own choosing.

Yes. Especially on what it is not, most instructive in this era of Hillsong and similar.
There was a thread here titled something like "why is contemporary Christian music so bland"? CCM is mostly man made but has been accepted as praise suitable for worship services. CCM does have a place in Christian culture just not as true praise or worship. CCM can also be money motivated. There are fine line distinctions even here. Someone may be able to sing a CCM song as praise and it'll be accepted as praise by the Father. It depends on the motive or heart of the individual singer.

Interestingly enough there is not a lot of teaching and preaching on this subject at least compared to other topics.

Of course this will only do so much as praise and worship is not something that can be taught it is an experience between you and God a bonding between us and him it's not something that any amount of knowledge or scripture can reveal.

True worship is something that comes from deep deep inside it's not just singing and giving honor with our lips anyone can do that but when you do so from the very depths of your soul when worshipping him brings a life and joy that makes you like a giddy child again that is the kind of worship that has power that is the kind that God will boast of you for.

Abd sometimes it isn't even a song you sing it can easily be the affection you have for him or the honor you hold in your heart for him it can be a prayer of thanksgiving there is no one way to go about it the point to him is where it comes from

The heart speaks louder than any words ever could and sometimes we dopn't have the word to speak I have gotten to the point where in worship I wabted to give him more honor and praise than I could muster than I even had in me I only saw in my minds eye the vast endless universe filled with honor worship and praise to him a vast endless void filled with the praise and honor of the Lord however even saying this to him simply didn't do him justice all I could do was give him this in the form of of something that had no words or sound but it was like the holy spirit himself spoke the words I couldn't.

Reference Heb 12:23 "the spirits of just men made perfect"
I've been searching and practicing this. There seem to be different words and phrases that describe what is actually happening in heaven. High praise, spiritual worship, in sync, revealed presence, realized presence and so on are some of those words or phrases. These words are used by different people to express what they understand but all seem to refer to the same idea. There is a place where, when we are all confessed up - sins confessed and forgiven - when our praise/worship is rises to heaven and sort of blends with what is going on in heaven. When that happens we get an avenue for a foretaste of the flow of the Holy Spirit here on earth from heaven.

Well it can be an effective weapon in spiritual warfare as well as scripture but that isn't the purpose of worship and praise

John 4:23-24

New International Version



23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth

in spirit and in truth this is the kind of worship that he desires not merely worship or lip service but in spirit and truth if people were to question what it means to worship in spirit and truth they likely could come up with an answer but in the end it is something that cannot be taught only experienced
No, praise/worship isn't a weapon, however those people that reach higher levels of such can experience GODs protection that other believers do not.

There does seem to be a connection with heaven and the state of worship I have noticed how it feels like something shifts in the heavenly realm I mean I don't know how I know it I just feel it within
I have often times likened being in worship as being before the throne of God and it seems that for different people they experience different yet similar things and different things seem to happen as well depending on the relationship one has with the holy spirit

Regardless there seems to be a special place of being with him that is called different things but it does seem to be a recurring thing among worshipping.

Yes I suppose calling it a weapon would be incorrect
