True worship of Me is sincere praise without divisions. It is a heartfelt expression of love and faithfulness towards Me regardless of divisions. I love oneness. When true worship in one accord is gave, I will fill up the place with My glory.
It gives Me joy for people to be of the same mind, having the same love, and to be in one accord. In one Spirit you were baptized into one body, no matter if Jews or Greeks, slaves or free. All of you were made to drink of one Spirit.
Together in one voice you should glorify the God and Father. I prayed for oneness for you. Just as I and My Father are one. I prayed that you would be one in us so the world would believe that I was sent to save it.
The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions. All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: “He is good; His love endures forever.” Then the temple of the LORD was filled with the cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God.

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that you have sent Me. I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are one I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.”
— John 17:20-23
