The Concept of Worship and the Content of WorshipHowever, African Americans have the influence of the Holy Spirit on their side, especially as they express their shared personal beliefs that God continues to work diligently well in every part of their lives. Indeed, the culture of love manifests itself in their community as they celebrate a newfound freedom in Christ. “And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] makes all things work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to His plan and purpose” (Romans 8:28). Always continue to trust in the Lord to get you through whatever situation you may face in your life because He is able to deliver you. We cannot worship the Lord if we are not born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. True worship begins on the inside and manifests on the outside as we worship the Lord. “The Holy Spirit who lives within us is the one who draws us to the true worship of glorifying the Father in Spirit and truth. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father seeks such worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth” (John 4:23-24 AMP). Aware of the mysterious presence of the living Christ, the community is empowered to live the good news in the world. Second, they share the reality of a common historical root, which extends deep into the nourishment center of the African soil. The faith community can attest to the strength and robustness of this root through the nourishment it continues to provide. Africans in diaspora. Even though the African heritage is… at the center of the card… be the only constant force in this world that remains in accordance with His plan and purpose for our lives. Therefore, I am grateful for this, especially when a man changes things in the blink of an eye. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 KJV). We must never forget that if God brought us into a situation, He will surely take us out of it, however, keep one thing in mind: Our times are not like God, we must wait patiently.
