Have you ever been in a worship service where the presence of God was so thick that it was almost as if you could cut it with a knife? Have you ever been so caught up in worship that you find yourself dancing before the Lord or kneeling at his feet with tears of gratitude and praise? This kind of intimacy is what God longs for, and this is what you were created for. Ps 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of his people. It’s not just any kind of praise – it is real praise and worship that is from the heart! What if you gave everything? What if you worshipped with a reckless abandonment? What if all that you are was entirely consumed by all HE is? 

(2 Sam 6:14) And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

Praise and worship belong to God, even the stones and rocks will cry out if praise is not given to God!

Luke 19:37-40 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”  “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

The following is a powerful declaration of how we are to praise God.

Psalms 150:1-6  Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord

WOW! What an all out, ecstatic, crazy praise! Being consumed with all that God is, and praising him with fervent abandonment is in your DNA and is what you were created for! Wholehearted, passionate worship brings the glorious presence of God; God inhabits this kind of praise! Don’t you think it's time to go all out! You can! Why not? He is so worthy!!! Yes!!!...It’s time for…

UNBELIEVABLE WORSHIP!
