Heart Worship not Lip Worship

“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Isaiah prophesied in Jerusalem and the destruction of Jerusalem happened about two hundred years later.  Jesus has made His Blood sacrifice, died and been resurrected; the Church has been built on the Rock of Jesus; the Holy Spirit has come down to empower the Church.  The Word is given and available easily to meditate and hear God’s voice.  We are taught to thank, praise and worship God in spirit and in truth, to connect with God and be empowered.  The fruit of all this, is a power filled victorious Church sharing the Gospel and bringing many to the Kingdom of God.  But as Isaiah said, their heart is far from Him, Who honour Him in Church with their lips.  Let’s be the power filled, victorious Church that will turn this world upside down just like Jesus’s disciples did and bring many souls to Christ.  Let’s be the victorious Church, proclaiming the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Let the victory of the Cross shine in and through us to the people of this planet!  Let’s bear the fruit that the Lord Jesus desires from us!  Let’s be the Church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against - Glory to God!
