Lifestyle of Worship

Introduction

Most people have no idea what worship really is, even


though they think they do. The world we are living in has
placed high value on performance and acceptance by doing.
Much of the church today is living right back under an Old
Covenant that has already been fulfilled. There is
something better with better promises and better results.

Thank God for the grace message that has been brought
into the light by the Holy Spirit, and thank God that we are
starting to “get it” and have that “aha” moment when we
realize that God loving us is not based on our performance
and how lovely we are.

Grace has been given to us through the One who is lovely


and the One who paid the price in full to have a relationship
with us and fellowship with us through the Holy Spirit.

1 REV 5.14.2018
Lifestyle of Worship
Daniel Amstutz Introduction

There are several words used in scripture that are


translated as “worship,” and we will look at mostly the
words translated as “praise” during this course, but this
subject is very vast, and this is simply an overview of what
could be, and certainly should be, a much more in-depth
study.

My prayer for you is that the revelation that God has shown
me will be communicated to your heart in such a way by
the Holy Spirit teaching through me that you will be
brought closer in your worship as a lifestyle, and that
everything that you are about and everything you do
comes from a place of union and communion.

God has called you to a “face-to-face” relationship that is


“day-by-day.” Ask Him to show you any barriers in your
soul and if you are believing anything that is not truth. He
delights in bringing you into the image of Christ and helping
you to see that all the veils hiding Jesus have been
removed! Once you see Him, you can then be like Him!

Spirit and Truth is the new that has replaced the old, and I
want to encourage you to plunge into all that God has
prepared for you!

Sincerely, Daniel Amstutz
