Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 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: 21-24 (NKJV)

The above passage speaks of the kind of worshipers God is seeking. The question is, "How can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?" God is looking for true worshipers who know what it is to worship God in a strange land. A strange land could mean you find yourself in a place or position that you have not been before.  You could have lost a love one; maybe you are divorced or are soon to be; perhaps you have lost your job or like Job, have lost everything you hold dear and the person close to you is telling you to curse God and die. Can you still sing the Lord's song? Sometimes its hard to sing the Lord's song in your home land, never mind a strange land. 

Paul and Silas fond themselves in a strange land. They were locked up in prison and in chains but at midnight they began to sing praises to God and the other prisoners were listening and I believe their witness was tremendous! This is why those of us who are true worshipers should never stop worshiping- the prisoners in our household and around us are listening. This excites me and I am not a person that gets excited easily. True worship and worshipers excite me!

I believe there are people in bondage because of a lack of true worshipers. When we worship God in spirit and truth the Glory of God is activated. True worship attracts the power of God. If you want more of God begin to worship in spirit and truth. I challenge you to worship. I dare you to worship. Where are the true worshipers?
