in the context of God coming to us. They persist in their New Worship goal of elevating
man to God by reminiscing over the Old Worship according to the Mosaic Law held in temples
that have long since passed into history. As testified by Anne Murchison in Praise and
Worship, “One day as I was meditating on the lifting up of hands to the Lord, I saw
myself standing in praise to God with my hands extended heavenward, and I saw the Shekinah
glory of God descend between those uplifted arms, much as is described in the Bible when
the glory of God’s presence came to rest between the wings of the cherubim on the
mercy seat in the tabernacle. . . praise and worship are God’s throne. . . As we lift
our hearts, our hands and our voices to praise God, He enthrones Himself in our
midst.” The idea of God “enthroning”
Himself in our praises is from Psalm 22 which states: “But You are holy, enthroned in
the praises of
Intimacy with God is what is meant when it
says God “enthrones” Himself in our praises. And the best way to see victory in
the midst of apparent defeat is to praise the Lord. There is no better way to realize that
God is always there than to glorify Him. As the Psalms assure us, that is where hope and
assurance come from. And as soon as we take our eyes off of our problems and place them on
“who God is and what He does” we will soon experience that closeness to God that
we seek after. Hence Spurgeon concluded: “O thou poor, distressed soul, who once
lived in the sunshine of God's face, but art now in darkness, remember that He has not
really forsaken thee. God in the clouds is as much our God as when He shines forth in all
the lustre of His grace.” To listen to the interpretations of New
Worshippers you would be led to believe that because God “enthrones” Himself in
our praises He is likewise obliged to carry his throne around with Him wherever He goes so
that He can beckon to our every call. There can be no doubt that God inhabits the praises
of His people even as they glorify Him. But this is not to say that worship is all about
closing our eyes while singing New Worship love texts and mantras in order to enter into
the supernatural world to sit at God’s throne and behold His glory. And the reference
to “enthroned” is not about establishing God’s kingdom on earth as so many
contemporary New Worshippers claim. Though God’s purposes are advanced as we declare
His praises, He will take care of establishing His Kingdom in His own time. (Rev 21) The
fact that God inhabits our praises is assurance for us in our time of need and loneliness.
This should be enough. And so we see that for the sake New
Worship modern gurus merely find themselves clamoring after old news of no real value to
Christians today. Their efforts to elevate themselves into the supernatural world through
ancient pagan worship practices designed to promote mankind to god-hood are merely a
distraction from the real thing. Stay Tuned for More!!!! If you liked this CLICK HERE or call Author House @ 888.280.7715 to purchase a soft or hard cover copy of Don Wigton's book "Holy Wars" upon which this blog is based.Click Here to purchase the E-book edition for only 99 cents!
