No More Whacky Worship

This very informative, powerful, easy-to-read book is a must for the body of Christ at a time of much confusion concerning genuine worship. I especially recommend the chapters, Freedom from Divination and Unload and Lift off. You don’t want to miss these eye opening pages.

Pastor Reid addresses a spiritual problem of colossal negative impact, whacky worship. In fact, whacky worship led to the first murder in history. Cain’s whacky worship in Genesis chapter 4 was rejected by God but Abel’s genuine worship was accepted. Cain became jealous of Abel’s acceptance and killed him.

Pastor Reid in No More Whacky Worship seeks to inform and deter people from Whacky Worship, which is false worship. He then seeks to enlighten them of true spiritual worship, which is done in spirit and truth as the worshipper synergizes in spirit with God and corporately with fellow worshippers. This is an informative, inspiring and a life-changing book, if you put it into practice.

No More Whacky Worship" is a masterpiece, enlightening, challenging and a must-be-read book by all Christians.  God has used his humble servant Omaudi D. Reid to pen great insights of what true worship is, that which pleases the Lord; and also, that which is a hindrance to us and a stench in His nostrils.  Read with an open heart.  It will revolutionize your thinking and your lifestyle for the glory of God.  I recommend this book to all.

Wow, I have to commend this book because of its rhema contents; it will speak to small and great. This book will not just be a book, but it will also bring to light the things hidden from many. No More Whacky Worship is an instruction manual to be used in ministry. From commence to conclusion the book teaches the many hindrances to true worship and how to get to the place and the right place where the Lord Jesus will be glorified. It gives examples of whacky worship that are oblivious to many believers today, and gives easy clear steps to self delivery. "No More Whacky Worship" is what's needed now!

"Whacky Worship is a book like no other. It takes you into the innermost realms of worship. The author delves into factors affecting worship that might not be apparent to the physical senses. From A Call to Gather to The Reason to Praise", the author takes us into the recesses of true worship demonstrating the importance of gathering; showing that where we gather and the frequency of our gathering do make a difference in whether we are giving true worship or whether our worship is just plain old whacky. There is a logical flow as the author not only articulates to his readers what true worship is, but what whacky worship is: divination and witchcraft-connected. Readers will find that the problem is not only identified, but practical solutions are provided, in for example, Freedom from Divination. The author further directs the readers to another important factor which causes worship to be whacky: "Worldliness and Sexual Sins. Solutions as to how we can sanctify our whole temple: mind, body and spirit, are provided. This masterpiece on worship concludes by elevating readers to another level in worship: Unloading and Lifting off from Egypt to Sinai, from Babylon to Jerusalem! Readers will discover The Reason to Praise" God.

As you peruse through the pages of this manuscript, you will surely discover the level of worship you are at. If you are just a beginner, Whacky Worship will teach you how to truly worship God. If your worship is just whacky, applications of the solutions provided in the book, will take you into higher dimensions of true worship. If you have somewhat ‘mastered’ the art of true worship, Whacky Worship will propel you into even a higher level of worship in God. Enjoy!

DEDICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Almost no book has been written without the support, influence and input of others. This book is no different. First, I dedicate this book to my amazing wife who has been my number one supporter. She has been my greatest cheerleader, ever encouraging me to write. My children, Terrique, Abigail and Armani also had to bear with me constantly talking about his book. My oldest son and daughter were the first to read the pages. I thank them for their feedback and encouragement.

This book is also dedicated to the members of the Harvest Army God’s Revival Arena in Brooklyn, New York. The local congregation has been an inspiration in the writing of this book. They are among some of the most faithful and loyal set of people I know. I continue to be awed by the growing commitment to true worship.

The leaders of the Harvest Army World Revival Movement have been constant inspirations of godliness and exemplary leadership. Special thanks to Bishop K. D. Collins, general overseer of the Harvest Army Church International, and one of today’s greatest leaders to the body of Christ. His wife, Overseer E. E. Collins has been a great example of pastoral leadership; may the Lord give me the grace to lead with the same vigilance. I thank her for taking time to write the foreword for this book.

Finally, I thank Evangelist Shamesha Mckoy for helping me with editing this book. Reverend Ronald Joseph went beyond my expectations in producing an eye-popping cover for this book. Thank you to all who encouraged, and reminded me of the need to keep writing, God bless you.

FOREWORD

No More Whacky Worship is an anointed, concise teaching on true spiritual worship. The teachings given are keys to enter the presence of God. Overseer Omaudi Reid is a Spirit-filled teacher who communicates with great clarity. He gives in details what is, and what is not true worship.

The author was led to write this book because he observed that many do not know what constitutes true worship. He noticed that many in the church and outside the church believe they are worshiping God but they are not. The book illustrates how the woman at the well in John 4:22-23 was told, ye worship ye know not what… the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth... This condition of many today is why this book was written; they are ignorant of true worship.

I am convinced that as you peruse the pages of this powerful resource, that your worship will collaborate with the Spirit of God. The book enlightens the reader to the hindrances to true worship. Some of the hindrances include idolatry, divination, wrong church, worldliness, and sexual sins. Then it tells you how to unload, get rid of these hindrances and lift off into true worship, into the very presence of God.

"No More Whacky Worship" is directed by God because it deals with the condition of society and the world today, whacky worship. But God wants people to worship Him in spirit and truth and not just by mere singing, raising hands and shouting.

I welcome this book, No More Whacky Worship. The social, moral and spiritual condition of the nations definitely necessitates this book. It gives Spirit led direction for true worship because the days of whacky worship are over.

PREFACE

This book chronicles teachings and instructions I have given as a pastor. I have seen many of the instructions in the book deliver lives, preserve believers, strengthen the weak, and illuminate the double-minded. Similarly, I have seen many ignore these instructions to their own peril.

My sermons and teachings have been conveyed into the pages of this book. As such, some of it may at times seem repetitious. However, I have allowed at least some repetition to remain for areas that need different and varied emphasis.

The church that I currently pastor has an intense focus on winning souls and discipling new believers. It is located in the urban city of Brooklyn, New York. The fluffy teachings often heard on mass media can hardly bring about the life changing effects that are needed for many new believers. Invisible forces at work in the people’s lives require reproofs, rebukes and exhortation.

In the body of Christ we are seeing an influx of homosexuality, eastern religious practices, pluralism and rampant worldliness. Yet we pretend that true worship is taking place. We are awed by beautiful singing, elaborate sanctuaries, eloquent speech, professional organization, and cutting edge technology, but often failing to seek the real life-changing power of God. Christians that follow this trend find themselves bound while singing gospel songs, speaking in tongues, shouting and prancing. Many are running from conference to conference, church to church, prayer line to prayer line trying to find freedom. There are not many voices speaking the simple truths of the word of God. Only the teachings and corrections of God’s word can rescue a soul out of the snares of the devil.

Pastoring in Brooklyn over the last few years has shown me that young people are looking for the real thing, the unchurched are looking for the real thing, and troubled Christians are looking for the real thing. The whacky behavior prevalent among many has left them without a solution. The book is a rallying call for No More Whacky Worship. The time of whacky worship is over.

I have noticed that some believers, realizing the hypocrisy that often exists, has resolved to secluding themselves from regular gathering with saints. Seeking spirituality, some have fiddled with deceiving spirits neglecting accountability to a local church. This book is meant to address such practices.

This book is the first in a series on the theme of God's Revival. In March of 2007, God gave the following words to the general overseer of Harvest Army Church International: Brooklyn, two weeks, God's Revival. Out of that revelation, the church that I currently pastor, was born. God's Revival is world revival. For revival to take a hold in the body of Christ, it is necessary that we raise the standard. God's standard for true worship must be embraced for revival to unfold in its fullness. Thus, No More Whacky Worship begins to lay out the tenets that are necessary to
