WORSHIP IS KISS

When we sang this song during YC today, I was totally shaken. Really.I just knelt down, grabbed the chair in front of me tightly, like God Himself was coming so near me. I had this vision of a rectangle, tall and wide enough for me to walk through. I was floating in space and this rectangular "gateway" kept remaining before me, as if I was invited to enter through it. I knew what it meant. God was calling me to a separate dimension. A realm of existence where His presence is more real than reality itself.

All the while I had this vision, I was consciously grabbing the chair, because I knew God was coming close. Like a husband and His wife. Intimacy. Although I can't really see it or feel it physically, I knew God was intentionally coming close. Suddenly, it didn't matter whether I was a sinner, or whether I was a good Christian or leader. He simply wanted to come close. He simply wanted me. And He was adamant about it. He didn't relent. He wants it all. So my entire spirit man screamed.

I heard it say that "worship" in Hebrew also means "to kiss". I never felt any intimacy like today. In the light of His closeness, all the guilt and past really disappeared... for the first time.

I used to be into Evanescence, a heavy metal band, cos I really liked their style. But I never thought I'd hear it play in Church. Glad that God approves of it tho(:
