“But You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;”1 Peter 2:9
We have the awesome privilege to minister unto God as His chosen, as priests. Because of the work of Christ we are now able to enter into intimate fellowship with the Spirit. At the Garden of Eden Ministries we enter His courts with thanksgiving, praise is the expression of our gratitude to the One who is forever faithful. Psalm 100.
“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 Him in spirit and truth” John 4:23-24
The God we serve is near to our hearts and desires we come close to His heart. Worship is more that words of exaltation but we believe it is our life of devotion before the King of kings. From the encounter of His presence in the corporate setting worship continues in our homes, workplaces, and relationships with one another. Worship is an act of service and submission to Christ. In spirit and in truth we chose to put aside our will and say Your Kingdom Come Your will be done in our earthen vessels as it is in Heaven.
From this understand of Praise and Worship we pour out our love before the Lord when we gather corporately in His presence, as a body.
Harp and Bowl
Harp and Bowl (Revelation 5:8): This model of worship incorporates prayer. Singing our prayers and His word before the Lord as a rising incense before Him. (See W.H.O.P for more information)
Prophetic Song
Prophetic Song (Joel 2:28): At the Garden of Eden we believe in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit through His out pouring. As His priests we are ushered into His presence and to deeper understanding of His heart and the revelation of His scriptures. This is where we minister back to Him and to His people by declaring through song and music what the Spirit is saying to His Church.
