Jen Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Well there is cerainly a lot to think about in these chapters and I don't think we will ever comprehend the splendor of of God until we are there with Him and it will take all eternity to do that so we will never fully comprehend our God. Elements and concepts of worship: in spirit on His throne His holiness His glory He is omnipotent omnipresent He is head of the church (that's us!!) Creator HIs will His worthiness He was slain and lives We were purchased by His blood Men form every tongue tribe and nation(whosoever) We will serve Him We will reign through His victory on the cross He is worshipped by angels and praised constantly for His worthiness We will bow before Him (fall down) Everyone will sing to the Lamb Every creature! He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah The root of David We worship with music He loves music that glorifies Him the King of KIngs "To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be honor and glory and power for ever and ever. Amen God Bless Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Spaulding Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 We worship the Lord God Almighty on His throne surrounded by His angels and saints. We will lay our crowns down before Him, for they do not belong to us--they are His and we are unworthy to claim them for ourselves. We join the hosts of heaven when we worship Him! He is worthy of praise and worship, and we worship in songs of praise and joy--both old and new! The Lord Jesus, Who was slain for us, is worthy of opening the book of life which no one else can do, and we praise Him in prayer and exposition. We kneel before Him in worship and praise for His redemption that enables us to be in His Presence! We light candles to remind us of the Light of His Presence in our service, and we carry this light out into the world after the service to signify carrying His Presence with us into our life and friendships in the world that the joy of His Salvation may be spread throughout the world. Worship should proceed in service for Him. Worship that is self-centered and self-serving is not Worship! Worship must proceed in service of He who has saved us.

retired Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Oh, just the thought gives me goosebumps it will be so glorious. I know we cannot even begin to comprehend how it will be although chapters 4 and 5 do give some clues. The beauty of the place will be beyond measure and will overwhelm us. When we see HIM we will fall down, overcome. The majesty will be awesome. We will be singing and praising HIM forever, what a wonderful thought. There will be glory, honor, power. We will feel it and will worship HIM for it. There will be singing and praising and playing of harps. Angels will be there singing and praising and worshiping. It will be some time. I can hardly wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you learn about Christian worship from chapters 4 and 5? Don't miss the basics. Your list might include 20 elements and concepts of worship -- or more. ____________________________________________________________ Three outbursts of praise and worship are directed toward Christ and the Father. (1) The beast and the Elders praise the Lamb for having redeemed them. (2) Angels also praise the Lamb for His Golry and Wisdom. (3) All of creation worships both the Father and the Son. As we come to know Christ in all of his glory, we should praise Him for all thing's. Prayer being the only way to communicate with God, we need to pray every day thank him, and praise Him for the Blessing in our live's.

Darleen Nelson Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 The thing that most impressed me was the absolute freedom and joy in the worship. Things we find in our worship services are: falling down and worshipping the Lord, laying down all crowns before Him, praises constantly going forth, reading of the Word, weeping, music, prayers, worship in the Spirit, God on the throne, candles, surrender, giving honor and thanks, shouting for joy.

Guest ckghayden Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 What John finds on the other side of the open door is what happens on earth, worship, on a Sunday, (Spirit on the Lords Day). The worship involves 4 actions: centering, gathering, revealing, and singing. The brilliant throne and shimmering sea the elders, angelic beings, even singing points toward the center. The 24 around ther throne take off their crowns and show submission to God. They hold bowls of incense which represents prayers. They are a group of representatives which churches have today as their ruling bodies. The saints, living creatures, and angels around the throne are heavenly beings but also suggest these are heavenly authorities who are Gods innumerable administrators, officials, and servants as those counterparts on earth to do the bidding of the Great King. These creatures also function as perpetual worship before God. We also sing our praises to God and Jesus in song and end our services with a loud AMEN! We give praise to both God and the Redeemer as equal in majesty. We celebrate Easter as Christ was slain as the sacrificial lamb and is honored in heaven as on earth thru whom we have eternal life. We can triumph over life because of the blood of the Lamb,who was worthy because of his sacrifice as Messianic king to open the seals.

Marilyn Rivington Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Just to add a few insights. The invitation - "Come up here!" (4:1) Purity of worship - (4:4) Light - (4:5) Thanksgiving - (4:9) To worship the Living God before his throne will be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Miller Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Worship and praise begins now All things must be done in Spirit and in Truth Fellowship will be in heaven also Every knee shall bow before God He is the Head of all things... final authority...

Julie Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 A Divine Majesty Father and Son are worshipped cause of who they are and what they have done (Creation and Redemption). Christ alone is worthy to judge the earth. Christ is a root of David, a Lamb, all powerfull, all knowing with all authority and perfection, we humble ourselves, worship, praise and give glory to Him, by prayer, singing and witnessing.

Linda Stanley Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 The point of Rev.chapter 4 is,I believe is summed up that all creatures in heaven and earth will praise and honor God because he is the Creator and Sustainer of everything.I believe the reason Christ showed John the vision of heaven so he could tell the people what heaven is really like,so the people would not fear the things of the world.We worship Jesus,The Lamb of God who takes away "all"the sin of the world. Through true worship from the heart and a church in unity,"Draws the Holy Spirit into your worship"Shows Up"as some would say.As the Holy Spirit moves in the mist of your worship,miracles happen. In Rev. chapter 5 Shows us only the Lamb Jesus Christ is worthy to open the scroll (which are the events of history).Only Jesus holds the future. Receiving from the word,hearing from God as we worship.Worship ,and the presence of the Holy Spirit draws us into repentance to have us be worthy ourselves and holy.Salvation for all.

Helen Williams Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Christian worship is a time for worship and praise. I've learned the one must be humble before the Lord. We must believe that the Lord is God who has all authority. Prayer is essential. There is singing and praising a God who is worthy of all praise and worship. LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE lORD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda biloni Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 First thing I saw was constant worship. It should be our priority, to always worship Him. Give Him honor, glory and praise. Worship with song. To be humble in our worship, remembering the awe of God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggie Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 The parts of worship I see are giving Jesus glory, honor and praise. Also, singing, praying, and falling down before him (as when we kneel to pray and simply falling down to worship Him! What a glorious day it will be!!!!!

eggsandbacon Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 The insights I see are a door to heaven - Christ. The Spirit taking me there. The throne of God that we can approach because of Christ. The elders of the church. The power of God symbolised as Thunder. The attitude of humility when in the presence of God. The event of prayer. All glory to God for creation. The central element of Christ, the only one, the able one, the lamb. Omnipotence. The King of the whole earth. Rev.5:13 ' Then I heard all beings in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea offer praise. Togesther all of them were saying."Praise, honor, glory, and strength forever and ever to the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb!". One could go on forever getting deeper and deeper. It blows my mind to know the power of Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherdills Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Some things I saw in regard to worship are: being in the spirit; giving God glory, honor, and thanks; praying; gathering; singing; and humbling before the presence of God. Christian worship is designed to humble ourselves before the Lord so we can be in His presence to honor and adore Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
