SUMMARY: Worship is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare as Satan desires the glory and authority that belongs only to God. The root of all evil and sin is rebellion against God's lordship and glory. Worship neutralizes pride and rebellion in man and recognizes his dependence on God. Refusal to give God the glory due to His name leads to a degeneration similar to Lucifer's rebellion. Humility and worship correct this injustice and puts both God and man in the correct position.
