HTB and other churches have a 24-7 Prayer Room. There is worship and prayer twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week: ‘night and day, never taking a break’ (Revelation 4:8, MSG).

You do not need to wait until heaven to experience ‘heavenly’ worship. This worship is happening now – 24-7 – in heaven.

In this passage of the Revelation John’s eyes turn from the church on earth to the church in heaven. The author of the Revelation looks through an open door in heaven (v.1). As those around the throne contemplate the wonder of God the natural response is to turn to worship – and this is the first thing that John finds going on in heaven. There are five worship songs in the next two chapters.

In this passages we get a glimpse of what praise and celebration in heaven look like.

Every time you worship, you join in with the worship of heaven.

(Nicky Gumbel, Bible in One Year – A Commentary)
