  WORSHIP
  IS A PLACE
   
 

For too long, we have thought of worship as some kind of activity: characterized by singing, clapping, and perhaps dancing as well. While these are certainly elements of worship, they are only a part.

Worship emanates from the timeless place of the eternal God, who has already accomplished His plan. We are waiting for His kingdom to come here, in time and space. But outside of this mortal realm, we are already seated in heavenly places in Messiah, rejoicing with the elders, creatures, and angels concerning all that has been wrought through obedience to the Lord.

Leviticus 6:9   "...And the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it."

Leviticus 6:12 "And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out."

Leviticus 6:13 "A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out."

The Lord is drawing us into the holy flame of divine fire. We can no longer be satisfied with an outer-court experience. We will enter into hours of extended waiting in His presence. We will hear and know His voice. We will go past the outer courts of our own need, and worship will be all about ministering to the Lord Himself. A holy company of end-time Levites will be brought forth in the nations of the earth to tend to the flame of the Lord, ensuring that it will not burn out day or night.

There is a real throne room—it is a real place, the seat of universal government. The uncreated God, the Ancient of Days, sits there enthroned in glory and splendor. This is not an image or a metaphor, but it is literally the throne room of the King, who is our Father. There is no need for earthly wisdom in this place. Wisdom Himself is there, speaking into our hearts.

He will be our all in all. Presence will be valued over service, brokenness and intimacy over productivity. When Isaiah saw this place, he was "undone," aware that he could not live in this atmosphere of absolute holiness (Isaiah 6:1–5). Likewise, we cannot see God’s throne room without the application of divine atonement.

Here, only here, will we receive the Lord’s rhema word regarding aliyah (Jewish immigration to Israel) and be able to proclaim His will on earth. By those who come near Him He must be regarded as holy, and before all the people the Lord must be glorified (Leviticus 10: 3)!
