I heard a speaker once say that worship generated power. He said that we need to send that power somewhere, in other words, we should worship with purpose. Yes, I know we should worship God because he is God but while we have an audience with the King it would behove us to present him with our petitions. I am reading a book called "Worship Warrior" (I strongly recommend this book) and it reminded me of the principle mentioned above
In the book the writer discusses how prayers accumulate and how he believed that the bowls in heaven where our prayers are stored are checked by angels sent by God when we pray. He proposes that often times when the bowls are checked there is not enough in our bowls to meet the need and there wasn't enough power in our prayer time to get it done... to tip the bowl. He goes on to say that when the bowl is full it is tipped and released by an angel in the earth realm. God gives us glimpses of this principle with scriptures like "pray without ceasing, knock and keep on knocking..." The only thing left to do is PUSH, pray until something happens.
