There is a time in your life as you walk with God you always has a desire to please Him. If you really love your wife sometimes you want to think of some ways you could show your love. That is the way we have in God. I want to know what moves God.

Do you know that if God can get angry God can also be touched? And there are some things that touch God more than others. Tonight I want to share with you the secret of touching the heart of Father God. Something that pleases Him so much, you could almost feel His pleasure. Do you know that in heaven if God smiles there are some power that flows from Him to our lives? And that incense is the secret of touching His heart. That incense in the New Testament has to do with the sacrifice of worship. The Lord began to talk to me about the sacrifice of worship that costs you something and how much it meant to Him. I know that in Heb. 11:6 it says that without faith it is impossible to please God. But then God began to speak to me and said, "Did you have a look at what that kind of faith it is that pleases God?" That faith involves a sacrifice of worship.

Heb.11: 6 Without faith it is impossible to please God. Then he lists the many people who live by faith. Verse 7 Noah, verse 8 Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Enoch and all these other people. And if you look down the list you notice one thing common. Each one of them paid a price to love God. It was not just by saying I believe, I confess and that's all. There was a price they paid to walk with God and to love God. Abraham by faith left his homeland to go to a strange new land. That was a sacrifice. Noah had to prepare and give up everything and spend the rest of his days building the ark. That was a sacrifice. What about Cain and Abel? Abel's sacrifice pleased God. Now Cain also sacrificed. But the sacrifice was different. Abel's sacrifice cost him something. Cain's sacrifice didn't cost him anything. The bible tells us that Able gave the firstlings. What Cain should have done was to give first fruits with the blood sacrifice. There is something that is meaningful when it costs us something. And you give it to God as worship. It is something that costs you something. When Abraham offered Isaac it meant everything to him. You could feel the feelings of what a holy sacrifice is. To give all that you love, all that is dear and precious to you and pour it before God as an incense of worship. I want to make it very clear that is not just sacrifice alone. It has to be a sacrifice based on a heart of love and worship

But David was different. All of us have a public life and a private life. Our private life must be consistent with our public life. John chapter 4 and says that the Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. Those who really know to worship God, God will bypass the millions of people and come to you.

I want to share with you the secret of David's worship in God. There was something different about David's life. There was something different in his heart. David doesn't take his relationship with God lightly. When he did anything for God he doesn’t do it the same way that he will do it for anybody else. You can see David rejoicing when the ark was coming in. David had many happy moments. David didn’t rejoice when he conquered Jerusalem. He didn’t rejoice in that way. He didn’t rejoice when he became king of Israel. He didn’t rejoice in the same way when he conquered all his enemies. But when the ark of God enters Jerusalem David was dancing and leaping like a mad man. Some of his closest folks didn’t understand David. There was something different about his life. He knew how to touch the heart of God.

Let me give you another picture, another angle of the same group of people called the Philippians. And why there is such powerful incense that goes to God. Turn to II Cor. 8. Remember that the Macedonians are the same group of people as the Philippians. II Cor. 8:1-2 We want you to know, brethren, about the grace of God which has been shown in the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty. Do you know that for the Philippians to give it hurts? They don’t have much. They were not a very rich people. And of all people they were the people who constantly gave to the apostle Paul. And Paul says it was a sweet incense to God. You know why? It was a sacrifice of love in worship to God.

God bless
