Know When To Give the Benediction

we think that we know what true worship is really all about it's more than getting your praise on to jump up and shout God gets excited about what is in our hearts He's more concerned about the inner spirit that we impart it's not just following the program and going through the motions it's about letting the Holy Spirit take control of your emotions it's more than the order of service and passing the plate it's about being divinely inspired and possessing a true faith so stop being fixated on execution and just making it through for God desires that we have a spiritual break through we have a control problem and think we can harness the Spirit we fail to realize that we have no power to submit it we get to the church late and still think the service is too long more concerned about when we get out and can't see what we're doing wrong we rush through the service and miss our Godly appointing we might as well have stayed home for we missed our anointing for true worship of God is a divine commission so wait for the Spirit to tell you when to give the benediction institutionalized religion is always in a hurry to give the benediction and then the people run out in a flurry Jesus told His disicples to feed the crowd of 5000 strong but the disciples were more concerned with sending them along so with 2 fish and 5 loaves Jesus commenced to breaking bread and before the service and benediction all 5000 plus were fed never give the benediction until the people's needs are met never give the benediction until you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit a friend one day asked me, "how long is the church service?" I said it's over when the Spirit deems we've served His purpose true worship is not a fast food service nor a track and field meet and it can't be rushed until the Holy Spirit says it's complete and when the pastor opens the doors of the church to any lost souls that's the time in the service when the Spirit has total control so don't be self-righteous for true worship is not an individual sport feed the people's mind, bodies and spirits and don't sell the purpose of the service short in that desert surroundings a miracle took place in that desolate field the Spirit of the Lord was embraced I'm so glad I serve a God who is present 24 hours I'm so glad I serve a God with such omnipotent power know when to give the benediction for true worship can't be rushed just wait on a sign from the Lord God we all love and trust
