How Would Jesus Want Us To Worship?

I'm not worshiping enough. And I'm done pretending otherwise.

Where I'm At

I've been thinking about this question a lot: How would Jesus actually want us to worship Him?

I don't have a definitive answer. But I know that what I'm doing—what most of us are doing—isn't it. Two hours on Sunday? Prayer apps for fifteen minutes? Reading a devotional with morning coffee?

This can't be what the Creator of the universe had in mind when He made us for relationship with Himself.

What Started This

Charlie Kirk's death has millions looking into Christ. That's beautiful. But as I watch people flood into churches, I keep thinking: Are they going to find what they're looking for? Or are they going to find the same Sunday-anity that left so many of us spiritually malnourished for years?

Because here's the thing—most pastors, through no fault of their own, haven't experienced the fullness either. How can they teach what they haven't tasted? How can they lead where they haven't gone?

William Seymour prayed seven hours a day. The movement that flowed from that dedication brought hundreds of millions to Christ. Not through better arguments. Through more time with God. Through worship that actually made space for the Holy Spirit to move.

There's something here. A correlation between depth of worship and manifestation of power. You worship fully, you tap into the fullness. You give God hours, He gives you miracles.

The Holy Spirit is waiting for vessels who will actually make room for Him—not just acknowledge Him doctrinally but create space for Him to move with power. See: The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit for understanding why extended time with the Holy Spirit unlocks supernatural Christianity.

My Hypothesis

I think God wants us to spend dramatically more time with Him. Not as religious obligation but as genuine communion. We're meant to be temples where the Holy Spirit continuously dwells, not vacation properties He occasionally visits.

Unlocking supernatural results requires investment. If we want biblical Christianity—the kind with healings and prophecy and transformation—we need biblical levels of devotion.

I think most of us are spiritually malnourished and don't even know it. We've normalized prayerlessness. We've made peace with powerlessness. We've accepted a neutered faith because the real thing demands too much (or we simply don't know better!).

The Time Is There

Let me be honest about something: I have the time.

I'm not working that many hours a day. I'm watching tons of YouTube—way more than I need to be. Hours disappear into algorithmic rabbit holes. I'll spend three hours researching something random but claim I can't find an hour to pray.

The time exists. It's just allocated to lesser things.

So why can't those YouTube hours be dedicated to God? Why can't that scrolling time become prayer time? Why am I giving the best hours of my attention to screens instead of to the Spirit?

Here's the thing: It's not even that prayer is hard. I've spent multiple hours praying over the past couple days, and it's actually not that difficult. It just requires follow through.

The real issue? I hadn't even considered that extended prayer was something I should be doing. It wasn't on my radar as a normal Christian practice.

What I'm Doing About It

So here's what I'm doing: I'm dedicating a lot more time to prayer. Hours, not minutes. Daily, not weekly.

I'm experimenting with things that make me uncomfortable—praying in tongues for extended periods (the Holy Spirit's language bypassing my intellect), sitting in silence until something shifts (learning to recognize His still small voice), worshiping until I forget what time it is (creating space for His manifest presence).

I'm not bothering with the fluff of institutional Christianity anymore. The programs, the committees, the religious activities that fill time but don't touch Heaven. I'm interested in what actually works—what actually connects us to the divine.

What happens when you actually give God the time He deserves? What opens up when you worship like the apostles worshiped instead of like modern Americans worship?

An Ongoing Experiment

I don't know where this leads. Maybe I'll discover that three hours of daily prayer is exactly what Jesus wants. Maybe I'll find something different entirely. Maybe I'll realize that the "how" matters less than the time or hunger.

But I'm going to find out.

I'll be reporting on what happens.
