SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
Rhapsody of Realities – 21 October 2025 MESSAGE
God is a Spirit, and the Bible says those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. However, there’re certain things you do physically that help you activate your spirit. For example, when you consciously and deliberately kneel in prayer, it causes your spirit to be immediately activated for prayer. That’s why He told you to do it, because immediately, you’re moved from your mental state into a spiritual state, fulfilling the Scriptures. Psalm 95:6 says, “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.”
Daniel also knelt in prayer: “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house and… he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed…” (Daniel 6:10). Even the Lord Jesus knelt down to pray: “And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed” (Luke22:41).
The same thing happens when you lift your hands in prayer, adoration, praise and worship to the Lord. These physical actions draw you from the natural into the spiritual. They are holy expressions of reverence, adulation and worship. The Bible says, “I will therefore that men pray
every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting” (1 Timothy 2:8).
King Solomon lifted his hands when he dedicated the temple: “And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer… he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven” (1 Kings 8:54). These examples show us the importance and spirituality of certain reverential actions, even though they’re physical.
Never take these spiritual postures lightly. They help shift your focus from the distractions of the flesh to the realities of the Spirit. They help you make contact with your spirit, and you’re stirred and awakened to deeper fellowship with the Lord. Recall the words of the Psalmist, “Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice” (Psalm 141:2). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me to worship you in spirit and in truth. I yield my body as an instrument of righteousness, aligning it with my spirit in worship, prayer and adoration. As I lift my hands and bow my knees, my spirit is stirred and awakened to deeper fellowship with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
