Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Revelation 19:9-10
As John receives the revelation and the directions to write down its interpretation he is overwhelmed by the angel’s presence. He falls down to worship the angel who stops him to declare himself a fellow servant. He commands worship of God and explains that worship testifies of Jesus. He tells John that the core of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.
We need to see from this that our genuine worship is what testifies to others of who Jesus is. When we give heartfelt worship to Christ our lifestyle, as well as our words, become prophetic. Worship is evangelism. It testifies of Jesus and speaks His love into their lives. When others see that the Lord is good they will taste and see for themselves. He is like honey to their lives. Moses wished for all of God’s people to prophesy. (Numbers 11:29) Paul wrote that he wished we would all prophesy. (1 Corinthians 14:5) We can prophesy through a life of worship that will testify to the world of Jesus’ greatness.
Lord, release your Spirit upon me as I worship You. Let my life be a prophetic beacon to those around me. Let my worship tell others about You whether they know you are not. You are great and have saved me. You are high and lifted up yet meet us in the throne room of grace to provide the grace and mercy we need. Let Your name be upon my lips. Jesus, You are Lord of all!!
I Worship You, Lord,
Pastor Jason
