_Introduction_
Today we do not come to war first—we come to worship. Jesus taught us to begin prayer with, _“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”_ Before we ask, we adore. Before we battle, we bow. The Father is seeking true worshipers who worship in Spirit and in Truth. Not in pretense, not in tradition, but in Spirit—alive, yielded, Spirit-led; and in Truth—anchored in the Word, without hypocrisy. Worship is our warfare. When His Name is hallowed, His Kingdom comes. When He is enthroned in praise, every gate bows. Today, from watch to watch and gate to gate, we worship the Father because He is worthy.

_Opening Prayer_
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. We bless You, we adore You, we exalt You. You are holy, You are good, You are God alone. We worship You in Spirit and in Truth because You seek such worshipers. Forgive us for rushed prayers and heartless songs. Today we return to first love. Fill every gate of time and every gate of society with true worship. Let heaven invade earth as we lift Your Name. Be enthroned on our praises. We love You, we thank You, we worship You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
