Rev.4:3 – Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and someone was sitting on the throne.
Worshipping the Lord in the Spirit is the very center and power source of our prayer life. Actually it is the very power source of our whole Christian faith. If that is true, not worshipping in the Spirit would lead to a life with no power. It is when we focus on the greatness and goodness of God that we are filled more and more with Him. Our world stands in need of a move of God. Could it be that the key to this needed move of God is the prayer language? I believe it is. Jerusalem was rocked when the Holy Spirit came down and 120 Jesus people were filled with the Spirit and began to worship God in other tongues. What was the prayer meeting all about? They were worshipping Jesus who had just taken His place on the throne of God. Here is how Corey Russell describes worshipping in the Spirit.
“When I speak in tongues, there are two focal points that I use, both of which are found in the Scriptures: God on the throne and God in my spirit. I like to call it God eternal and God internal. When I focus on the eternal God on the throne, I love to picture the scene from Revelation 4. The apostle John is caught up in the spirit, and he sees a throne seated above every throne.
The One sitting on that throne is shining like a diamond, burning like fire, and surrounded by an emerald rainbow. This is our Father: He’s the most beautiful Person we’ve ever met, the most passionate Person we’ve ever met, and the most compassionate Person we’ve ever met—full of covenantal mercy. Lightnings, thunderings, and voices emanate from this throne, and seven lamps of fire are burning before it—the seven spirits of God. Before the throne of God there’s a sea of glass like crystal, a sea of glass mingled with flaming fire. Every time I pray in tongues, I stand on that sea of glass, I lift my hands, and I gaze upon the One on the throne.”
This is very similar to what I love to do. I often think of the scene described in Revelation 4 when I begin to worship. I see Jesus surrounded with the seraphim, the angels, and the elders all caught up in worship. The atmosphere of heaven is contagious and will begin to move into the room. Before you know it you will be filled with angelic fire and will be worshipping like the angels.

Could it be that to often, the body when praying, speaks requests from outside the veil? I can’t help but think of the foolish man who was given the one talent but did nothing with it. God rewards the faithfulness we return to Him after we fully put to use that which He has made available. I believe the place from which we pray, worship say’s much about the very value we in turn, return.
