Bibically and historically, true worship has consistently been liturgical. "Spontaneous: worship in an innovation of the last century or so. Liturgical worship, written prayers (the Psalms), and feasts days were the norm throughout the history of Israel (see Ex. 23:14-19; 241, 2). The worship of heaven is liturgical (Is. 6:1-9; Heb. 8:1-3; Rev. 4). The foundations of liturgical worship in the Church are apparent in the New Testament. The most oft-repeated prayer of the Church is there (Matt. 6:9-13). The words we say at baptism are there(Matt 28:19). The words spoken at Holy Communion are there, with Saint Paul repeating Jesus' words(1 Cor. 11:23-26). Further, the believers in Acts 13:2 about A.D. 49, were seen in a liturgical service to the Lord: "As they ministered[Greek: leitourgouation, the root word for "liturgy"] to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said..." Note,too, in this passage that the Holy Spirit speeks to us during liturgical worship.

Divine Liturgy is Heavenly Worship on Earth. It is the same Liturgy that is going on in Heaven, we are worshiping the Lord with all the Angels During Liturgy.
