The heart of Worship

The heart of worship is surrendering. Surrendering to God is the heart of worship.

True worship is when you bring yourself to God completely; thus surrendering yourself.
You know you are surrendering to God when you rely on God to work things out instead of trying to manipulate others, force your agenda, and control the situation.

There are three barriers in life that keep us from surrendering; FEAR, PRIDE and CONFUSION.

First, we need to trust Him; and the more we know that He loves us, the less fear we will have.
"Love casts away all fear."

After doing this, we need to admit our limitation and therefore break down our pride.
A. W. Tozer said, "The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us."

"The greatness of a man's power is in the measure of his surrender." - William Booth.

Surrender is not the best way to live; it is the only way to live. Nothing else works.

When you decided to live a totally surrendered life, that decision will be tested. Sometimes it will mean doing inconvenient, unpopular, costly, or seemingly impossible tasks. It will often mean doing the opposite of what you feel like doing.

Romans 6:13b; "Surrender your whole being to Him to be used for righteous purposes."
