You re just enjoying each other s presence. We must do the same when we worship the Lord. The ministry of praise increases the anointing in the service. It increases the anointing in the individual. But the ministry of worship brings the glory.
Praise brings the anointing to worship and worship brings that anointing of glory.
Just as we praise until the worship comes, so, if we want the glory, we worship until the glory comes. When you praise, worship comes, and if you want a great depth of worship, then you must have a great height of praise, which enables you to ascend to the top of the hill. Sometimes, when we are about a quarter of the way up the hill, we say, Now let s sing a worship song. We sing it. We try to worship before we get into the atmosphere of worship.
