John 4:23-24 (NKJV)
23 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.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The scriptures above tell us that God is seeking for true worshipers. If God is seeking for true worshipers then that means of course that there are false worshipers. Which are you? Do you worship God with all your heart or do you just give lip service? I hope you are not one of those. They shout louder than anyone else. They lift their hands higher and longer than others. They may even cry! But when it comes time to give or serve God, they run from the opportunity. A true worshiper prays before the service that he might be forgiven for his latest sins and be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ in his inner man where the real person lives. He does this to be able to worship God with a clean heart. He is focused on the words of the music and sings from his heart not just his lips. He is focused on the pastor as he brings the word of God. He listens intently and opens his heart for God to work on him in that area of life where he needs it most. He knows that he is not where he needs to be and he wants to move closer to God in his relationship to Him. In other words he worships God with His inner spiritual self. That part of us that no one can see. We only see the outside. Most want to look good on the outside but are like dead men's bones on the inside. This is worshiping God in the spirit. Our spirit must be influenced and lead by the Holy Spirit as we worship God. There would never be true worship apart from God's Spirit that lives in us. Only God's Spirit knows how to truly lead us to worship God who is Spirit. It doesn't matter where or what day you worship God, but it does matter how you worship Him. God can only be truly worshiped in the truth. Jesus told us what truth is in: John 17:17 (NKJV) Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
We can't worship according to the dictates of our hearts, but by the word of God He has given us. God tells us how we are to worship Him and not the other way around. Only God's word tells us who He really is and how He is to be worshiped. Please don't get caught up in the way of error as to how you are to worship God. Do it as you read in God's word and go to a church that worships the same way. God wants to more fully bless our lives but we must get ourselves in a position to receive all that God has for us. 23 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.

INVITAITON: You can never worship God without a personal relationship with Him. This relationship comes one way, not many as some say. Let's look at what Jesus said is the way to God. John 14:6 (NKJV)
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.Have you confessed your sins against God? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you? Have you invited Him into your heart? You must be born again to ever see the kingdom of God. John 3:3 (NKJV)
3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." YOU are born again when you follow God's word as it is written in: Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
O my friend, call out to Jesus today to save you and give you that second birth that we all must have to be able to see the Kingdom of God and enter into it. Time is short. Jesus could return at any time for His church. Be ready or you will be left behind to go through the Greatest Tribulation to ever hit this world. Make your choice today and go to church and be baptized to show you are sincere and then begin to worship God and Jesus there. May God give you the strength to do that.
