Surrendered
Spirit and Truth
It's about worship.
True worship. Worship in Spirit and Truth.
To have authentic worship, we have to be fully surrendered. In order to be surrendered we have to be submitted to the Word.
Surrender, like submission...sounds and seems weak...but, in God's Kingdom, it is opposite! It is only in that humble place...that our strength is found. Because in our weakness, His strength is made perfect.
Surrendered vessels don't mind waiting either...because they know that those that wait on The Lord...will renew their strength.
As you can see, the girl is having fun too! The JOY of The Lord is also our strength! Worship should be joyful and fun. Where we can delight ourselves in Him...because when we do that He promises He will GIVE us the desires of our hearts!
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3-5 NIV)
She is also jumping through...breaking free...transitioning, going forward...from the darkness into a new realm. Worship does that too. Takes us from the natural into spiritual places. Where the spirit of The Lord is, there is liberty.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. (Isaiah 43:2 NIV)
Water represents the Word of God, and she is letting it wash her. She is surrendered to and fully submitted to it. She is worshiping in Truth.
"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration." (John 4:24 MSG)
