Spirit and Truth

I had phenomenal worship this past Tuesday (7/15/14) night. I entered into a realm that can only be accessed when worshiping in spirit and in truth. 

I prayed for a half hour with a specific request and then left my agenda to attend to the Lord's, and that's when worship began to pour out of me. And, when I say it poured out of me, I mean that. Through my spirit Holy Spirit declared praises to God that were beyond my human mind. This is one of the psalms I journaled at 10:18 p.m.:

My God is famous. The most famous. He is One who commands a million chariots. He rides out into battle with His sceptor outstretched; His hand cannot be stayed. O magnify the Lord!

And, that was just a couple sentences from 30 minutes of honor, praise and worship being professed into the atmosphere through me. Some notes here:

• Yes, I take a journal into my time with the Lord. If I didn't I wouldn't remember much of what took place and/or was spoken. 
• What I experienced is a picture of how the psalms of the Bible were divinely inspired by Holy Spirit and recorded for our instruction and example. It's also a picture of how Father downloads the books and things I write. 
• God is faithful to meet with me when my heart (soul) and spirit is submitted to Him even when I go in with my own agenda first (John 4:24). 

During that time of worship my prayer closet became so supernaturally charged with the presence of God (Genesis 1:2-3) that He begin to release business strategies and blessings to me and loosed angels to go and perform His words. The Lord also brought up names of people to intercede for and I loosed dunamis power and other facets of God's will into their lives. I could see streams of light going out from me to impact them. 

An example of a business strategy the Lord gave me was a social media post.

"I'm a life-change agent for others. You can be, too. Get healed and THEN go and take that healing to others. Take a spiritual growth course by visiting www.zwriteswords.org."  

Isn't that awesome?! The Lord even sculpts advertising copy for those who are one with Him (John 17:21-22) aka submitted. That's why I can be ridiculously successful as a once-homeless nobody. 

Take a look at your worship. Everyone worships a being or a thing. If you're worshiping the One True God in spirit and truth you should have joy unspeakable and other spiritual fruit in your life. Seriously. Being able to step out of this realm and all its death and destruction and into Father's puts you in such a position of hope and faith that you can't help but accomplish amazing things because the rivers of living waters are bursting out of you.

Just try to imagine what I saw during this time ... all the brilliant colors, light, the majesty of the Lord, His voice, the peace, His promises being released over me, being under His authority and receiving it to decree change for others. Wow. It's awesome. This is why I say many people have no idea who the Godhead really is. I've been a believer since seven years old and I didn't know Them in this way until 2011. But now that I have this intimate relationship with Them, sharing the real Them has become a passion. All those years before I wasn't concerned about making God known. Just going to heaven wasn't enough to inspire me; and unfortunately that's all I really had. Partial knowledge and understanding. But knowing Them this way, entering their domain, being in submission to Them, ministering to Them (and it blows my mind that They receive anything from me), giving to and receiving from Them ... I cannot stop testifying!
