Zac Hicks posts a quote from Robin Parry’s Worshipping Trinity, which emphasises that Spirit filled worship is not a style, but an empowered response that can assume many expressions.
Spirit-led worship is worship that is sincere and honest. It acknowledges our need of God’s assistance and sees that only in Christ are any offerings we make acceptable. Acceptable worshippers come to God in weakness and humility and receive grace in a time of need. Spirit-led worship is not insecure worship, ever-anxious of rejection by God, but confident worship that delights that everything necessary has already been done. It is not arrogant self-promotion (thinly disguised as humility) but humble confidence in the one in whom we have been brought to trust. God requires worship and God has offered that worship on our behalf in Christ–and by the Spirit God enables us to offer ourselves to him through Christ. Our response to God is a participation (enabled by God) in God’s own response to God…worship is “a gifted response” for which we can claim no credit.
