Just for full disclosure and clarity of context to yesterday’s video called— ‘Pure and clean worship, no strange fire’ … Worship has nothing to do with words, songs, music, dancing, flag twirling, shofar blowing… or any other physical performance or posturing— alone, or of itself: pure worship is a state of being in high reverence to God (and God alone), whilst in a oneness, obedient, and sacrificing (killing, slaying) the carnal self persona and god.


True worship is rooted in obedience to a god/God, sacrifice to a god/God, and honoring to a god/God, as one bows himself to pay homage to a god/God: hence why people did what they did unto idols throughout history.  Or those who stood out, did not go mainstream (even in and with the people of God), but separated themselves unto God and godliness— and came to the altar of God (his heart to face him personally), and gave themselves (their interior) to honor, obey, kill the self carnal nature, and join the Lord God in unity, truth, righteousness, and purely to serve his kingdom (not their own— which is idolatry— the king and kingdom of the self).


First mention of worship was Abraham taking Isaac to be sacrificed unto the Lord God in obedience.  It was in fashion to the Father giving his only begotten Son to lay his life down in sacrifice unto us all.  And just as the Father had to relinquish his most loved— so did Abraham.  And just as YahShua/Jesus had to lay his life down (the Father did not force him), Isaac too— did not run, did not balk, did not disobey, but willingly laid down on that altar and was bound to the Lord God’s will.  


THAT— is the first mention of worship.  


No frills, lights, drums, guitars, pianos, harps, lyrics sung from lips… no flags, no dancing, not living in the moment of emotional sensuality… just two people, father and son, willing to lay their lives down for the cause of, and will of, their God (which was not the self, nor loving their dirt-suit lives so much as to seek to save them, argue them, deny, rebel the desire of God, seek to negotiate or sway the living God: just sacrifice, obedience, and pure heart worship.


Abraham’s heart was laid down, his mind laid down, his will laid down, his obedience laid down, and he loved God more than anyone— including his own heart, will, and his son’s life: he was found in pure worship, right then, right there.  No music… except the song of unity, respect, and the ultimate life laid down within— to his God (which was not his own self/heart).  That’s the song we should all be singing— the song of ultimate love that pours from us spiritually; which consists of a state of being in high respect, willingness, sacrifice (slaying the other person that vies for control— the self will and ways), obedience, and ways of God… and becoming intertwined as one with God’s heart, mind, will, and ways of right-ness… in unity of with God.


NOTHING to do with outward lips— but instead with inward heart allegiance and alignment: honoring God’s heart, as ours bows to do reverence.  And that allegiance and alignment caused Abraham to move in the spirit with his God, and unto his God.


The things that come out of our mouths— when we are the Lord’s people… only honor God when the heart, mind, will, and ways… already have aligned with the Lord God’s (heart, mind, will, and ways); and our self has died the death of the cross (until fully dead and gone), and our allegiance is now unto Him and Him alone: this is to honor the King and his kingdom— within.  For truly to do this, one must enter his gates, within his kingdom, to do so.  And all who enter in… bow their faculties of heart, mind, will, and ways— to His.


When sacrifice (death to the self mind, heart, will, and ways) comes forward— and our lives truly lay down, and unite to His; when obedience to the heart, mind, will, and ways of the Lord come forward in us to align to, and be in allegiance with (unified as one in spirit now); then do we understand worship: and what ‘then’ comes out of our mouths, the song that is sung then (the song of honoring God— nothing to do with us at all) comes forward from the heart of God (now replacing our stony one— which means selfish one, hardened to God’s heart and person); and the pure song coming from the mind of God (because the self mind has been taken to the cross and come through death— which is being estranged); and the pure song coming from the will of God (as our will is traded out for his… this brings us into obedience, which is one of the 3 largest forms of His type of definition of Love that he told us: keep his word [truth and message, highly regarding the person of the Word of God himself], keep his commands [ways and leading], and obey him [in his commands and ways] … this is how we remain in his Love); and the pure song coming from his ways… no longer the ways of carnal man being exalted within us: when that comes forward— then does the song of the union with the Lamb and our union to our Bridegroom come forward— in purity of ‘state of being in oneness, joined.’


A song is only pure— if the heart singing it is.  When what comes out of the man— comes from the state of his heart and reverent union to the Lord God, in his way, truth, righteousness, obedience to his headship and commands/commanding: then that song (life spiritually operating, and pouring forth from within) is then pure.


Many people were taken aback when I said to them privately— “Dear, I don’t listen to mainstream Christian music, or hardly ANY music that one would align with Christian anything.” Because I don’t.  


I don’t worship God through Christian music… I simply worship God.  


I don’t worship God through music alone… or dancing alone… or speaking alone… I worship God in the purity of heart union to him, my obedience, laying down my life to him in heart, mind, will, and ways… as I exalt him: then do I open my message (words and sounds) to him— and I lift him up in the faculties of my inner person.  


When I walk into the kingdom of God, approach the King, my Father, my Savior, my spiritual Partner who is my head and the Lover of my soul… then do I go low— sit at his feet, look up, have the eyes of my heart placed on him in a purity of focus upon ‘who he is, and what he is;’ and I then open the faculties of my person up to send forth an aroma (expression) that aligns with expressing— ‘How great thou art;’ from the true knowledge of God and God alone.  I cease to exist, and the message ceases to be about me… only how great the Lord God is.  How high above all others in love, righteousness, and purity of holiness that he truly is.  And the gratitude of my inner person places me at his feet to pay homage to the Lord God, and be positioned to fawn over him in the ways he asked of us: sacrifice (death of self and self focus— which is a worship), to have his heart now, to have his mind— the mind of Christ now in us, his will above our own— as we lay our desires down on the altar to be slain, and his ways take us over— as his Spirit, truth, righteousness, love, and magnificence does.


I don’t listen to Christian music because I am very sensitive to all messages… and the messages are steeped in self.  I don’t listen to Christian music because works of the flesh (witchcrafting) are intertwined in the music itself— because many vessels are compromised when composing and bringing it forth; and I can sense and see the spirits attached to it, and its message (words).  I don’t listen to Christian music… not out of fear… out of detesting what all is in it and that comes with it; and who is truly being worshiped or focused on; even to the extent that I desire it to not be about man at all… only the glorification of God and God alone.  Nothing that focuses on me in wretchedness, being healed, delivered, missing the mark, getting it right now, drowning or soaring… I simply desire all focus to be placed on the Lord.  He is my husband (spiritually) after all… and a man’s woman out to exalt him… not herself.


So, it was asked of me… ‘What do you listen to, or what do you sing?  Do you sing and do worship unto/with God in song at all?’  And the answer is, ‘YES, I do.  And I’m glad you asked.’


Where does music and song come from?  Simply— a man (unless using the impostor being of Artificial Intelligence), organically— a man; and before that— God himself.  So, I chose to sing from the original place… union with God within.  It’s pure there.  No lyrics of another man, only a pure song about the Lord God himself, and our union relationship together… as it swells up within when we are in our state of being one in perfect unity and love (if you want to be ‘in love’ with God, it’s a location in him, and a state of oneness in his love.  Ask him to take you into his love— then can you learn of true love, to operate in true love, to give it back to him).  Then what is stirred within, what comes up and out, then… is an original composition, an original and spiritual song produced in the rightful place, personally— between the two of us, right there in the heart of God and man in union; and without any other spirit involvement, or compromised vessels sending forth what they are steeped in— as the song was composed and brought forth in conjunction with carnality.  But an original score comes forward birthed in reverence to God, and union with his Spirit… and we, together, begin to sing the praises of God the Father, as the Son and I unify to do so.  Pure words of spirit begin to bubble up… where two are one, in the way, truth, and life.  We sing in the spirit union together… in English or any other tongue/language.  It comes up and out, organically, as my spirit and the Lord’s Spirit, are stirred together in union to worship God himself; as a man gives himself to his God (as a woman gives herself to her husband— spiritually speaking).


I love instrumental music for this, or even silence, fire sounds, rain sounds, or nature itself whilst walking amongst it in the cool of the day… otherwise known as the Spirit or ruach.  As worship— is truly about the heart given to its God… not a song— of itself.  Not a flag twirling, or shofar blowing, or feet dancing performance— of itself: but all that is the organic result of a heart postured to pay homage to the Name above all names, the Lord above all masters, and the King above all other authorities, with a Throne above all others enthroned: eye singleness, and only for the Lord God, in exaltation and mention (word, focus, and message).


I do not live a life after the mainstream anything.  Not the mainstream music, mainstream relationship, mainstream worship, mainstream being— unity and ways, mainstream message, performances, or posturing: I am given to Him and his narrow path (not mainstream or broad).  If most are doing it— we are not.  “Repeat that,” he said.  If most are doing it… caught up in it… given to it… We are not (the Lord and me).  Why?  Because he is not the Lord of the mainstream or the broad path, or the common… but the narrow, the tight, the holy, the set apart.  And we are circumspect and reverent to the word (the message), and the word or message comes from a spiritual messenger: and Jesus praised and exalted the Lord God, not man, and not man’s way… but the way of the kingdom of God, and God himself.


All of us in the kingdom of God, in the abode of the Lord, after this lifetime of the soul life upon earth… We shall join the ranks of countless others who live and abide with the Lord God forever and ever, in his home, and with and unto his person.  And think about this…


Will we be posting those selfies there?  Will we be singing songs about ourselves in any way, shape, or form?  Will we be lifting up our names (promoting ourselves), or will it be his name upon our lips in his kingdom?  Will the messages coming out of our lips or hearts be about the bride, priests, sons, children, angels, or anyone else?  Or will the messages we desire to convey through thoughts be placed upon the Lord God himself, and his magnificence?  Will we be focused upon our ministry… or his… and what he has accomplished in and of all time?  Will we be speaking of or singing of our own accomplishments… or his?  Will we be divided in our eyesight… or singly placed upon him… when in his home, kingdom, and abiding with him?  Will we be dancing, singing, or blowing shofars to gain some sensations, or to join in spirit to an experience… or will we be genuinely so fixated on worshiping him that our mouths cease to speak at all… and only our hearts and thoughts are screaming in exaltation of him while we bask in the presence of the Lord God himself, in all his splendor?


Perhaps we ought to realize— we are already there in his presence… So what are we bringing forth unto the Great God and Creator of us all?


Why don’t I listen to most mainstream music (Christian or otherwise)... because its message and worship is off — not on God, and God alone.  Not all… but most.  Most songs have lyrics in them that I will not sing, and simply silence my singing when they come forward… because I am not in agreement with them.  And I prefer to hum a tune that is pure from within (the old fashioned way) whilst going about my day with the Lord… as the stirring in my soul is stirred by the Spirit and my spirit together— as I desire to honor him.  And I prefer our own lyrics to come forward— from a clean heart aligned with his, a mind fixed on God and worshiping God— the mind Christ had/has, his desires and will at the forefront of my being, and his ways cherished and exalted within me… as I die to the antichrist or the other option of existence… the Self apart from God, not reverent to God, and drawing focus to itself.


I am not afraid of the witchcraft fleshliness of mainstream songs… I don’t like the flesh that is embedded in it, nor the spirits attached to it… regardless of the lyrics… that slimes me (touches me) when it is played or sung.  I don’t like that in any music or song.  And when the state a person is in (spiritually) when producing a song is in rebellion or separation from God and his righteousness— it carries with it all the spiritual attachments of carnality and dark spirits.  As a prophet— I see this, perceive this, experience this.  And I am telling you— much of mainstream music (Christian as well) has people steeped in carnality… producing sounds.  I am not afraid of it— I am repulsed by it, spiritually; regardless of the lyrics… it’s all happening in the spirit.  I have had a better time with the Lord God singing an old 70’s love song (where someone was truly singing lyrics of real love, not sensuality) where they coupled with real love itself to do so, reverently, purely, to exalt another, properly— than most of what is out there called Christian music. 


Like I said— I am not mainstream— and I don’t desire to be: I desire to be pure unto the Lord God (which means reverently authentic in what he asked of me) in heart, mind, will, and ways… focusing on him and how great ‘he is,’ nothing to do with me at all… save to be the vessel, soul, and person honoring him.  Not what he has done for me… SIMPLY WHO HE IS.  Give me purity of true love, any day… and you will meet and experience a person who lives reverence… not sings about it… lives God’s way… not sings about it… lives God’s will… not singing or sounding off about it… lives God’s heart/desires… not singing or sounding off about it; and in that— true love spills from this person, as well as true worship (whether they open their mouths at all, or shuffle their feet, or raise their hands); and their lips AND heart (inner most spiritual faculties of a person) are both honoring God Almighty, holy, and true: not vain or empty, or worthless, but pure, true, lived, and known reverence unto God, in worship focused upon him (and all idolatry, all others— cast down).


The last mention of worship in the scripture is in Revelation 22:9.  And it shows us to bow to no other being, no other man (including, “and especially,” the Lord said, the Self), but to give all worship to God.


Revelation 22:9

“Then saith he unto me— See thou do it not: for I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren the prophets (a prophet this one was— one who brings forth the true message), and of them who keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”


It’s pretty clear that true worship has little to nothing to do with what we physically perform or posture ourselves in… but instead… the state of our being in reverence, obedience, and making sacrifice (slaying the carnal, independent, focused upon itself— Self), just as Abraham exemplified in the first mention of worship in the beginning, in the Genesis.


Genesis 22:5 

"And Abraham said unto his young men— Abide here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."


  • Note— Genesis 22, and Revelation 22.  Twenty-two is to be set apart, to be holy, to be wholly— unto the Lord God in marriage, twice over, actually (with emphasis).  Marriage to him, yes… but duly noted— reverence unto him as well.  And as Troy Brewer states 22— ‘A light going out into terrible darkness.’  Yes— and calling us to come out, and revere the Lord God, and God alone: for that is true worship.


Killing carnality, the independent self, unifying with God in his heart, mind, will, and ways— is true worship.  


The one who was to be ‘light bearer’ knew this— as he was given to God in this area, to be being in worship of God: but took his heart (inner most faculties) unto himself: took his mind unto himself— minded self, obedience— allegiance— to self, aligned to self, and went his own ways— outside of God and his righteousness.  Satan— who lost God’s name (character and ways) knows this… and desires to deceive US (by his seed) into thinking some outward actions of singing, dancing, flag twirling, shofar blowing, or even getting on our physical knees and letting out some words— is worship: for he knows that when man becomes the one who bears the Light of God once again (the heart, mind, will, and ways of God), and comes to TRULY worship God in purity… this vessel (person/man) shall bring forth the identity of God within… and then… his whole ‘self’ kingdom (the dark kingdom and ranks of) is threatened within the vessels of man, in the heavens, and in the earth: for this man has learned what it is to truly worship another (God).


And folks— THAT— is the whole point and premise: Give God the glory, praise, honor, obedience, sacrifice, love… our entire life and faculties of— given to the way, truth, and life of God: and that is the true worship of a God— that is not the god of the Self/satan.
