Spirit
Melanie at the bat..
Jeaua Hlmaelf taught that we ahould worehlp God In'
Spirit not aa Spirit (John 4:84). Juat how do wq do that?
While under a atrong anointing of God’a Holy Spirit, we
ixralae and worahlp our Lord Jeaua. The Spirit actually
prompts ua to pralae the Lord.
Paul declarea, "When we worahlp God In the apint,
(we) rejoice In (pralae and worahlp) Chrlat Jeaua "(Ph
8)" I will pray with (the help of) the aptrlt..! wlU alng
with (the help of) the aplrlt (I Cr. 14:18). And we wor
ahlp Jeaua In (by the help of) the aplrlt (John4:34),
Paul worshipped Jeaua alone and no one elae (I Hm.
1) (6:18). And he aald thla, "After the way the Jews caU
heresy so worship I the God of my fathers’* (.Acte
34:14) He aald to those Greeks "Whom you Ignorantly
worehlp Him, (Jesus Christ), declare I unto you” (Acte
17:38).
Jude declared. "Jesus Chrlat...the Lord saved the
people out of the tend of Egypt." (Jude 4-8). “Him shall
you fear, and Him shall you worahlp.” Who? The Lord
who brought Israel out of Egypt, (see 3 Kings 17:86)
"Jeaua that cometh from above la above all" (John
8:31) "WorahlpHlm...Who la high above all” (Paa. 97:7-
,.,8) Jeaua haa,Preeminence above all creaturea (Col.
‘1:18), ■■■
" (He haalA ham which Is above every name. Atthe
name Jesus every knee should bow, of (those) In heaven
and...In earth and ...under the earth" (Ph. 3:9-10).
The early Christian writers declared that It was
Impossible to worship the omnipresent Spirit of God.
We agree with thoee early writers 100 percent No
man can honestly worship the great vast, measureless
Spirit of God. No man In hla right mind can look above
and around him and say to the omnipresent i^ilrlt "I
love you”. Those who attempt to do this are disobedient
to every wish and commandment of our Lord Jeaua
pertaining to worahlp. How? In what way?
JSSus aald, "No man (can) come unto the Father (the
Itolrlt) but by me” (John 14:6) (6:48). "I am the door
(9) He that enters...some other way...Is a thief and a
robber” (John 10:1).
Time 190 A.D. (Jews Worahlp Spirit) Clemont wrote
“Do not worship as the Jews, for they think that they
only know God...However they do not know God
because they do not know Jesus”.
Many of the things we print In the Mirror Herald may
not be yet seen by other believers, but we stand on the
Rock (Jesus). We are grounded In basic truths of
salvation (Jeshua).
We at the ministry of Posltlvo People Worldwide wish
not to debate nor to destroy any orthodox Bible truth.
But we as a body promote and teach greater truth not
yet known to believers.
