Grace Vineyard Christian Fellowship

I saw someone standing with both hands raised in worship...singing with great gusto, "I will give you ALL my worship..." BUT one of the raised hands was clenched into a fist as it was holding on to "other things".  Just then the ground started to crumble beneath the person and a huge crevice began to swallow them up, but the Lord threw them a "lifeline"...a rope with which to swing across to safety.  However, because the person was holding on to "other things", they only had one hand left to grab onto the rope, support the weight of their entire body, and swing over to safety.

Beloved Ones, I DO want all of your worship...not because I need it, but because you need to give it to Me in order to be truly free.  True worshipers worship in spirit and in truth...that is, there is a line of integrity between their heart, their words, and their actions.  If I have asked you to "give" Me something as an act of worship and you are still holding it in your hand, then you are not "giving" Me ALL of your worship...even if your mouth is singing those words...rather, you are keeping old mindsets, conforming to the world, and pursuing your own gain.  More importantly you are allowing the lies of the enemy to deceive you into THINKING that you stand on firm ground when indeed you are heading for destruction.

Those who are TRUE worshipers, those who worship in spirit and in truth, are FREE...free to move appropriately and powerfully with Me in timeliness, strength, and agility to be able to stand safely against every scheme of the enemy.  If you will humble yourselves before Me, I will give you the grace to let go of those things that you still hold in your clenched fist and you WILL be free...free to lay hold of My "lifelines" with strength...free to safely swing over every trap of the enemy, and free to stand securely with Me and in Me always.
