1. God is glorified.
2. Believers are edified.
3. Sinners are mystified.
This is because God is at work in the midst of His people, giving faith, building faith and answering faith, through the anointings and refrehings of the Holy Spirit.
We truly praise and worship as we come into His presence with humility and submission. God is lifted up. We are enlightened. Satan is defeated.
Believers are transformed miraculously from light to light, faith to faith, grace to grace, strength to strength. As we humble ourselves and yield to God, the Holy Spirit actually changes us at that moment, and prepares us for further impartation of His Spirit and conformation to His likeness. Even when this Shekinah does not envelope the gathered church, the submissive individuals can be saturated in Divine manifestation.
Sinners are amazed, shaken, disturbed at the mysterious love, power, joy, peace and unity that permeates the atmosphere, as the curtain, which normally veils the greatness of God, is pulled back, and a glimpse of glory is granted.
Some people never experience this. Some only get the "splash" off of others. Some occasionally have this encounter. Some, very few, enjoy this as part of their normal walk with God. These varying levels of Divine visitation are also true for churches.
Don't rob God of His praise and worship. Don't rob yourself of God's anointing and enduement for service. Don't rob your church of an outpouring. Don't rob the sinner of an encounter with the heavenly.
