The Book of Psalms records many of the prophetic songs of David concerning the Messiah. This one in focus foretold the second coming of Christ. There are other places that dealt with His ordeals before death and His triumphant resurrection. It is worthy of note that the man that saw much into the future life of Christ was a man that was given to worship. Yesterday we learned that worship meets the need of God. What we are seeing today is that it is not only God that benefits from worship, the worshipper also gets blessed by having access into the spirit’s realm. Worship is a means of transport into the realm of the spirit. That is why Psalm 100 says we should enter God’s gates with thanksgiving, and approach His courts with praise. Study the pattern in the Book of Psalms. You will notice that in most cases the Psalmists begin to worship, and before you turn the page they begin to prophesy. There is close link between worship and the spirit of prophecy. He who wants to know the mind of the Lord should cultivate the art of worship.

If the people of God will give more attention to worship not only will past mysteries be decoded, but we will get to understand the current mind of the Lord as well as future events.

The apocalypse was given to a man of worship. John testified, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet” (Revelation 1:10). What John meant by being in the Spirit is being in worship, since it was on the Lord’s Day. Were it not for his incarceration he would have been in company of fellow believers praising God. His isolation notwithstanding, he worshipped God in the best way he knew how. Out of that came eternal treasure for believers of all ages. If the people of God will give more attention to worship not only will past mysteries be decoded, but we will get to understand the current mind of the Lord as well as future events.
