We are created to praise and adore God forever and ever. It means that we must thank, praise, and adore God every millisecond, second, and minute forever and ever, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To continually worship God, we need to get a throne view of God. A throne view of God is a very close view of God on the throne from where we may see God in all His fullness - His ways, works, attributes, natures, and so on. Perhaps in Revelation 5,...
Just as John discovered or came to know in Revelation 5 that the Lamb is worthy to break(or open) the 7 seals and open the scroll, a fresh revelation of the slain lamb of God can break the locks and open all the closed doors in our lives.

Aaron took the people’s gold to build the god (golden calf) they desired. Aaron even built an altar before the idol. If you do not ascend the mountain (or secret place) to seek, speak and hear from God, you can become like Aaron, who will gave what the...
