By Apostle Quinson Thomas. Updated on January 10, 2024.
I remember, as a new disciple, I would spend hours upon hours in prayer and singing hymns in praise and worship to the Lord.
As a pianist, I would sit at the piano and play songs from the hymnbook and sing to the Lord prophetically. It was an awesome time. It was during those times that I felt the presence of God very strongly. I don't know if you've had a similar experience, but praising and worshipping the Lord invites the presence of God where you are.
Look at this scripture here:
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
(Psalm 22:3)
Did you see that? I highlighted it there just in case :)
I know this isn't a teaching section of the site, but I pray that you've learned something very powerful about God - He loves when we honor Him with the sacrifice of praise, and with worship!
