“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.” (Isaiah 6:1-4 NKJV)

            How do you picture God?  Do you believe God is limited to heaven?  How will you react if you saw God?

            Isn’t it interesting the comparison in Isaiah that the king dies and we are shown a view of the Living God?  Isaiah presents us with a view of God we see again in the book of Revelation.  The glory of God flows through the throne room and out into creation!  God is not limited to heaven and Isaiah hears from the seraphim,

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”  The glory of God is all around us and through Jesus we can experience it!

            The voice of the seraphim shakes the door post and the “House” is filled with “smoke”!  This amazing picture of heaven is beyond belief to all but those who through the Holy Spirit see a glimpse of what they will receive through faith!

            The power of the seraphim is incredible because just the voice of the worship of God shakes the post of the door in Heaven.  If the power of worship shakes the door posts of heaven can you imagine what it does to hell?

            Worship of God by the Church is a thorn in the side of evil and shakes the very foundation of hell!  The celebration of the glory of God by the Church connects us with the worship of God in heaven and weakens the power of evil.

            It is amazing to think that all around the world God’s children are praising and worshipping God and united with heaven!  Even a small service of a couple of people joins with heaven to worship and celebrate God.  We are changed, renewed and strengthened against evil as we worship God and grow in our appreciation of God.  For whenever we come into the presence of God we are never the same!

             

“1 ¶  « A Praise of David. » I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. 2  Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. 3  Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. 4  One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.” (Psalm 145:1-4 NKJV)
