The King Desires Your Beauty

The King Desires Your Beauty audio video notes. The Lord is married to and greatly desires the beauty of his bride, the church. Worship is desire and the Lord greatly desires our worship. Children cannot understand the physical and emotional intimacy between mom and dad. Neither can a child in the Lord understand worship. Worship is not playing doctor. Worship is creating something within us to create life in the kingdom of God. Furthermore, worship is coming into the secret place with the Lord. It’s getting into a place with the Lord where He holds us and we hold Him. An intimacy is exchanged. Immature believers never understand worship or the necessity of it. There’s a way a man desires his wife to respond to him. There’s a way the Lord desires for us to respond to Him.

Scriptures: Psalm 45:9-11

I tried to ease into the water and do some things not offensive to us. I want you to know what I see as worship in the Scriptures and how worship is vital.

Psalms 45 is a Messianic Psalm about the King’s marriage. Is our King Jesus married? Yes He is. To whom is He married? Jesus is married to the church. He’s not married to building(s). Jesus is married to His people who are the church. Let’s read a portion of Psalms 45.

Psalms 45:9-11
9 Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

Our King desires your beauty. Actually He “greatly desires thy beauty.” What does this mean? Does it mean He thinks she’s a fox? Perhaps He does, but it means more than He thinks she’s beautiful. When I met my wife I thought she was beautiful, but now I greatly desire her beauty.

Do we believe the Lord Jesus greatly desires us? How can He greatly desire me? Look at me! How can anyone greatly desire me? Beyond looks, look at all the mess in my life Jesus sees and knows is there. But, does He desire me? Does He desire you?

Repeat this after me: “The King desires me!” “The King greatly desires me!” He wants to hold you. He wants to love you. Also, He desires to look upon you. Let’s remain in the spiritual realm, but I believe I’m getting my thoughts across. I’m talking about worship.

What should be her response to His desire? Let’s look at Psalms 45:11 again.

Psalms 45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

The proper response of the queen is for her to worship Him.

There is a difference between praise and worship. We tend to lump them both together, but they are obviously different. Let’s refresh on what we have seen some differences are.

1. Apparel

The Scriptures speak of a specific apparel for praise and a specific apparel for worship. We adorn or put on different attitudes for each. In praise we adorn ourselves with a garment of praise (Isaiah 61:3). We put on an attitude of praise. In worship we put on an attitude of spirit and truth (1 John 4:23). Why do we adorn ourselves differently? It’s because praise is different than worship.

Praise talks about what God has done, is doing, and will do in our lives. Praise is violent (Mat 11:12). We cannot praise the Lord and remain down and morning. We put on the armor of God (Gal 6). Also, praise is party time (Mat 22:11). Praise is war or party.

Worship is different and requires a different garment. Actually, there is no garment. It’s spirit and truth. We bare ourselves before the Lord. In worship we hide nothing from the Lord. We are bare and open before the Lord. The tempo and beat of the music is different. The words are different. We are not swinging a sword in worship or partying. We are making love.

2. Words

Words in praise are words about violence, victory, mightiness of God, violence, etc. (Exodus 15:20; 1 Samuel 18:6).

1 Samuel 18:6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.

In worship the words are words of love and intimacy. The emphasis is not on warfare of partying. The emphasis is on the Lord. We tell the Lord He is the love of our lives. We focus on our Lord and God. In worship we totally focus on Him.

3. Maturity

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Children cannot understand the physical and emotional intimacy between mom and dad. Neither can a child in the Lord understand worship. Worship is not playing doctor. Worship is creating something within us to create life in the kingdom of God. Furthermore, worship is coming into the secret place with the Lord. It’s getting into a place with the Lord where He holds us and we hold Him. An intimacy is exchanged. Immature believers never understand worship or the necessity of it. There’s a way a man desires his wife to respond to him. There’s a way the Lord desires for us to respond to Him.

It’s in worship conception takes place. It’s in worship a seed is placed into the womb of our hearts and something is birthed.

4. Manifested gifts

There is a difference in the manifestation of the operation of gifts of the Spirit in praise and worship.

5. Physical position

What physical positions do the Scriptures teach us take place during praise? Dance, clap, rejoice, lifting hands. What physical positions do the Scriptures teach and show take place during worship? Bowing, kneeling, fall flat.

Genesis 1:20-24 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

God spoke to the source before He spoke to the substance. God spoke to the water before there were fish, and God spoke to the earth before there were cattle. The substance is dependent upon the source. Take a fish out of water it will eventually die. Take a cow out of the substance of the earth and it will eventually die, and take a Christian out of church and they will flop around, moo and bellow, but eventually they will die. We must allow the Lord to deposit into our lives through worship. He is the source. Worship is where we receive Him and from Him. Worship is where life is conceived and brought forth life.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

When God created fish He spoke to the water. When God created cattle He spoke to the ground. However when God created man He spoke to Himself, i.e. “us” (Trinity). Outside of the source of Our Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we will flop around, but eventually our finances, marriage, relationships, etc. will dry up and die. God is the source.
