What is Worshipping and Idolatry? How to find the True Living God, the Well of all Blessings.

Finding and Worshipping the True God: A Journey from Distraction to Deep Connection

By Violette Blue, 15.09.2025

Worship is more than rituals or words — it’s where we put our focus and energy. The first commandment in Exodus 20:3 says it plainly: "You shall have no other gods before me." This isn’t just about avoiding statues or idols. It’s about where our hearts and minds settle, what blocks us from the one true God, the living source of all life.

The Danger of False Focus and Idolatry

When we put anything before God — whether objects, symbols, or even people — we risk losing sight of what really matters. Idolatry can sneak in disguised as luck charms, ancient symbols, or even popular culture. Some people focus on symbols like the evil eye, Egyptian cat icons, or pendants of the “tree of life,” not realizing that behind these symbols can lie stories and energies that pull us away from God’s pure light.

Take the “tree of life” for example. Most know it as a symbol of growth, but the Garden of Eden held two important trees — the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The latter was poisoned by deception and led to humanity’s fall. Wearing symbols without understanding their roots can inadvertently connect us to that deception.

Weapons like swords or knives are also symbols to avoid. Jesus said, “Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.” Violence and aggression clash with God’s way of peace.

The love of money and luxury is another form of worship that distracts us. Diamonds, cars, designer clothes — when these become our obsession, greed takes root and pushes out spiritual growth. Even fashion choices matter; clothing marked with skulls or death symbols can signal allegiance to darkness, not life.

Worshipping the dead is yet another distraction. Fixating on photos of those who have passed, whether family or celebrities, keeps us trapped in grief or idolization. Admiring celebrities too much sends our positive energy away from what truly matters — our families, responsibilities, goals, and relationships.

What Happens When We Focus on the True God

Focusing on the true God, the living source of all, opens us to a well of blessings: divine light, unconditional love, wisdom, and protection. But first, we have to find God.

Finding God begins with speaking clearly who you are connecting to — God the Father, Father who arts in heaven, creator of all existence and the universe; Jesus Christ, the living God, supreme creator. Naming God grounds our connection and opens the door to deeper relationship.

How to Sense Your Connection to God

The connection to God isn’t always loud or dramatic. It often feels like peace that settles deep inside, a calmness beyond circumstances. You may crave solitude, feel unconditional love, or gain sudden clarity about your life’s purpose. Old toxic relationships may fade away, and new supportive people might enter your life. Harmony grows with family, finances improve, and your career blossoms.

You become stronger, wiser, and more purposeful. Prayer and praise become natural daily rhythms. Gratitude fills your heart for every blessing, big or small. This growing connection is the true wellspring of life.

The Power of God’s Names in Hebrew Tradition

In ancient Hebrew tradition, God is known by many names — each revealing a unique aspect of His nature and power. Speaking or meditating on these names helps us tune directly into God’s presence and draw on specific blessings like healing, protection, provision, and strength.

Here are seven powerful names of God and what they mean:

• Yahweh — The sacred, eternal name meaning “I Am who I am.” It connects us to God’s unchanging presence and faithfulness.
• Rapha — Meaning “Healer.” Invokes God’s power to heal body, mind, and spirit.
• Elohim — Meaning “Creator” or “Mighty One.” Reminds us of God’s strength and creative force.
• Shaddai — Meaning “Almighty” or “All-Sufficient.” Speaks of God’s overwhelming power and provision.
• Jireh (or Jareh) — Meaning “Provider.” Reassures us that God sees our needs and will supply.
• Adonai — Meaning “Lord” or “Master.” Acknowledges God’s authority and invites trust.
• El Elyon — Meaning “Most High God.” Points to God’s supreme position above all.

You can chant or sing these names together to enter a deeper spiritual state, or reflect on each one individually to absorb its unique blessing. Either way, these names open pathways to experiencing God’s presence more vividly.

Living a Life Focused on God

The journey of worship is a daily choice. It means clearing away distractions — whether objects, symbols, people, or desires — that block our view of the true God. It means tuning into a relationship that changes us inside out, bringing peace, wisdom, and purpose.

By focusing on God, we align with a life of harmony — with ourselves, our families, and the world around us. We become vessels of light and love, connected to the source of all good things.
