God with Us: Intimacy in Worship (Conversation)

John Wimber guides listeners through a journey from cautious skepticism about emotive worship to a living, intimate relationship with God. Drawing from First Chronicles 16 and Hebrews 13, he shows worship as a daily sacrifice of praise and as a doorway to immediacy with the Father. He emphasizes that God is moving today, healing the sick, restoring lives, and inviting ordinary people to participate in the works and wonders of Jesus.The talk covers worship as intimacy, immediacy, and a new liturgy—speaking to God in contemporary idioms so people can relate and encounter Him now. It also explores fellowship as koinonia—sharing life, possessions, and prayer in small groups, and the church as a living body with gifts used for the common good. Crucially, Wimber urges believers to live out the words and works of Jesus, praying with Him, and building unity across the global church.Takeaways: worship is disciplined, communal, and transformative; faith expresses itself through praise, generosity, and obedience; every believer has a role in healing, mercy, and mission; community and small groups are essential to growth; and true worship flows from a relationship with the Father and the Son, through the Spirit, into everyday life.----Get the original source here:https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/all/products/9869----Please support this podcast:Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video filesFor more Christian teachings, visit inspirational.org.nz---- ★ Support this podcast ★
