How to worship on your own, at home

How to worship on your own, at home, if for some reason you can’t go to church:
1. warm up by listening to your favorite song. Dance around. Thank God for waking you up and for giving you joy.

2. Get a dress on, if you’re female. Other people are worshiping Sunday morning, so it will be easier.
3. Take your Bible and your favorite journal.

4. Listen to christian songs and sing along: both out-loud and telepathically. YOU CAN EFFECT CHURCH from afar.

5. Ask God what part of the Bible He wants you to read. One way to do this is, close your eyes, put your hands together, and let your soul pray. Be quiet and listen. Then pray, “:Dear Lord Jesus, Yahweh, and the Holy Spirit, please possess my hands when I open the Bible, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.” Amen means something like, “God’s will be done, so be it.” Then open your Bible and read. Write some of it down in your journal (this will help you memorize it). Try to interpret it. Read one chapter of the New Testament, and one chapter of the Old Testament. Read more if you feel up to it. Write a devotional blog if you want (basically a written sermon).

6. Listen to christian songs again, singing along, both out-loud and telepathically. Meditate on the music. Sway, and be filled with Jesus’s Love. Ask Jesus to come into your heart.

7. Find a sermon to listen to online. Listen and take notes. If it isn’t speaking to you, try a different one. Try to listen for at least 10 minutes.

8. Make communion. Take out bread and grape juice. Kneel down, and pray: “Dear Lord Jesus, please turn this grape juice into your blood (communion, not real blood), and please turn this bread into your body (again, communion, not cannabilism). Then break the bread, rip a peace off, and dip it into the grape juice and eat it, and pray, “Thank you Jesus.” Kneel down and pray for your heart’s desires, for the world, for other people, ask God to heal all diseases, pray everyone that exists become perfectly good so Jesus can be the only government.

9. look up choir music. Listen to it.

10. meditate. sitting, laying down, however you want to. Focus on how the ground feels, supporting you. Focus on all the sounds you hear. Try to listen to your breath without controlling it. Then take deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Stop controlling your breath, and pray: “Breath of God, breathe on me.” Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Pray while you meditate.

Try to find a safe church. Fellowship with God is good, but you need fellowship with other believers too. We build each other up. Worship with your family, or start a house-church or a home Bible study. Try to do this spiritual workout (worship) every day. You'll grow stronger spiritually and you'll grow in love. Don’t just be christian on Sundays: pray every day, worship every day. Using a devotional can help. When a devotional quotes scripture, look it up and read it in context and write it down. Write down what’s on your mind.

Thanks for reading,
