the Lord, but this is not true worship. There may be and should be an element of worship in it, but such a season is largely taken up with one's own or another's need. True worship is not Bible reading, praying, singing, praising God, or giving. Worship is the soul bowing before God in adoration and contemplation of God Himself. It is being taken up only with the Lord Himself, and not with our needs, joys, blessings, nor those of others. This is what the Father seeks and desires. The Holy Spirit directs our hearts in worship to God. In these seasons, the soul bows before God, loves God, admires Him, and adores Him as the supreme One, Who is the fairest of ten thousand to our soul and the One Who is altogether lovely. This pleases and satisfies God. Worship that is in the flesh, or only in the natural falls short of pleasing God. In order to "worship the Father in spirit and in truth," the Spirit must dwell in us and we in the Spirit, then He will enable us to worship Him. *************************************
WHEN HE IS COME by Joshua Stauffer Chapter 18 THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE MINISTER'S LIFE The Lord did not rush the disciples out into the ministry and to go forth into all nations as soon as He ascended. He told them to tarry in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. This "power from on high" would be to them "high power," which came upon them with the coming of the Holy Spirit. Neither does the Lord rush anyone out into the ministry today without the enduement. Every minister stands in need of the baptism with the Holy Spirit. This baptism is essential for the minister's experiential benefit. and also for the benefit of his ministry. Ministers need to be very careful to honor the Spirit. Some dishonor Him by displaying their gifts, talents, wit, foolishness, sensationalism, and spectacular methods. It is good to pray much, prepare well, then depend on the Spirit to give success. I. He Commissions Ministers To Preach "As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them" (Acts 13:2). "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood" (Acts 20:28). It is not left up to men to choose their own calling in life. We are not to choose our calling as a woman chooses from a dozen bolts laid on the counter before her the pattern of dry goods which strikes her fancy. The Holy Spirit knows the will of God and what the divine call is for each believer. It is the Holy Spirit Who commissions ministers to preach. When He calls any person to preach or to any special line of gospel work, He will make it known to him in some manner which will be clearly understood by the person who has received a divine call II. He Endues Ministers To Preach "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8). The prophet Zechariah wrote, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." Every Christian worker should learn this secret. The human comes far short of the divine, whether it be human wisdom, human power, or human ambitions. The minister who is not endued with the Spirit, but rushes out into the ministry makes a great mistake in his life. He is not ready or fully qualified to preach until he is endued. The Holy Spirit has been promised to every Christian
