John 4:24New King James Version (NKJV)24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
This is my first Christian post and hopefully I can keep it coming. I had just come from the Hillsong Conference Europe 2016 . The conference had roughly 15000-20000 delegates probably even more I'm not sure . I had gone to the conference without any companion or friend. Yes I did talk to a few people ,who like me came alone to the conference. But in this huge crowd it's so easy to become lost. .But that's not what I'm writing this for .
In the O2 Arena which was filled to the capacity , you turn around and you are surrounded by a sea of people. It's so easy to get lost in this sea but this what is so amazing about worship. Even though people from 70 nations (not all English speaking) had gathered , we were all under one roof , under one Name Jesus and that was what bound us all together as we worshiped Him in spirit and truth.Every arm raised and every tongue confessing that Jesus is the Lord. Bible says " Where two or more are gathered in My name ,I am there." Now imagine 20000 gathered together on the name of the Lord. It is here that I felt we were all one , each connected by the divine love as we sang and worshiped: the church , which Jesus said the gates of hell won't prevail against. That's what's so amazing about worship, it transcends boundaries, barriers, prejudices and brings us all together right to the level of an individual.Each one with his own story , struggles, problems and hope bound together by the love shown on the old rugged cross.The best that you or me can give is, worship. A worship that's in Spirit and truth, that holds nothing back.
Its amazing and probably beyond words how it is to worship the Lord Our God. Singing and shouting at the top of your voice with one purpose that is to praise Him. It is here that as we 20000 people sang together to the Lord in unison with one purpose and heart that you could only get a minuscule idea of what praise and worship in heaven might be.
I had always had this nagging thought in the back of my head at times that "How will we be worshiping the Lord in heaven at all times? Won't it get boring? But my time in this conference left me wanting to worship the Lord ceaselessly and I know that's what I'll do there.
