Prescribed manner of worship (part two)

 Let us continue examining the question of  what is the prescribed manner of true spiritual worship?

4. What is the main purpose for having a holy convocation?

Answer: To offer to the Lord the food for His offerings: For thus says the Lord; “These are the feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day ---besides the Sabbaths of the LORD, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the LORD” (Leviticus 23:37-38).

5.  Is the Lord pleased when one comes before Him on a day He has not appointed?

Answer: No! For thus says the Lord: “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD." I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats. "When you come to appear before Me, Who has required this from your hand, to trample My courts? Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies --- I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them” (Isaiah 1:11-14).

Please note carefully that, the appointed feasts which the Lord’s soul hates which are troubles to Him and weary of bearing them are not His ordained feasts but are the appointed feasts of the people which the Lord has not appointed.

6. Is there a specific type of worship that the Father is seeking for?

Answer: Definitely! For thus says the Lord; “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24).

This now leads us to the seventh significant question we should all be asking ourselves and that is, what is the ordained, prescribed manner of true spiritual worship?
