THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF WORSHIP
When I was a kid in our Pentecostal churches, we used to call it a song service, and it was always first with three hymns and two choruses. Our song services were quite lively in our Pentecostal traditions, with plenty of praise and shouts of hallelujah. It was almost certain in the churches that were sensitive to the Holy Spirit that after we sang for a while, we could feel the presence of the Lord increase in our singing.
Most of us didn't know why we did it this way; it was passed down to us by those who raised us in the Lord. I imagine we considered it normal and felt if it was good enough for our fathers, it was good enough for us.
In 1948 we had what they call the latter rain movement that came to us from Abbotsford, Canada, via Australia. With it came a deeper understanding of the gifts of the spirit and what we know now as praise and worship. Little by little, the revelation of worship began to seep into our Pentecostal churches and other denominations until the charismatic movement blew in on us by the wind of the Holy Ghost.
It was no longer just a song service now, something we could get out of the way so we could get to the "good stuff." The praise and worship time began to be the essential entrance into whatever took place in that particular service. We begin to be taught that as the singers went ahead of the ark of the covenant in the old testament, so now worshiping saints would go ahead of the preaching of the word of God in our New Testament churches.
We discovered a new depth of revelation as we taught the word because worship had opened the heavens, just like in Solomons's temple when they dedicated that great gathering place of God's glory.
Worship and praise are really a sound of heaven reflecting through the voices of human believers who have been born from above. Most often, words are not even needed to communicate the worshiping hearts that gather at his throne.
It is my conviction that we are at the precipice of a new level of praise and worship that's coming to the church of our day. Just as dramatic and wonderful as the latter rain style of worship, this new season in our spiritual journey will blow our minds away.
