The phrase Jesus used was in the orginal texts “in spirit and truth” And the error has been treating “in spirit” and “in truth” as two separate things. But they are not. In the original Greek it was “in spirit and truth” not in spirit and in truth.
or how to worship like a dog
προσκυνέω proskynéō, pros-koo-neh’-o; from G4314 and a probable derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, i.e. (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore):—worship.
Abraham worships angels and therefore it is the Lord Yahweh who send them.
“And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
Gen 19:1
”And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;”
And so did Lot. There form of worship was to feed, provide shelter.
Gen 22:5
‘And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.”
Abraham was going to worship God by sacrificing his own son Isaac
Gen 23:7
”And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.”
Abraham worshipped people as well
Psa 5:7
”But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.”
The temple is the Elect and fellow brothers. We shall worship toward them and thus God who created them
Psa 5:11
”But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.”
If we trust in God we will be rejoicing and praising Him
Psa 138:1
”[[A Psalm of David.]] I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.”
Psa 138:2
”I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”
God looks at he heart not the outward man. If we worship and praise God with our whole heart, what can any of those evil “gods” do? They cannot stop our inner men, or stop our spirits from praising Even outside of church, but still being the temple of God where ever we go. like ytents or tabernacles more than temples.. With love taking care of the people not the buildings
We are the temple of God.
Jesus said he would rebuild it in three days, His Body. His Elect. If you believe , in Him then you are His chosen.
Mar 14:58
”We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.”
1Co 12:27
”Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”
We the elect are His Body! And God created it not mens hands
1Co 3:16
”Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
We are where the Holy spirit dwells today!
If we want to approach God we worship God not in temples made by hands “like a church” But towards the whole universal and invisible temple made by the elects called from the all the corners of the earth
Be not deceived by religion where to worship
We are the church! And yes we should have freedom to gather together as brothers and share our lives together. Whether the kings of the world or the religious leaders say we can or can’t we still can. Perhaps at our cost but that is love.
Worship. SO what is it.
The word used in Revelation that separate those who enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven and those who do not. Is Proskuneo. And it means to “kiss towards” it came from the idea of mans best friend, the dog. The word Kill was “Kuneo” and towards was “pros” but the idea of ‘Kiss” was to lavish and love but licking you masters hand. At least dogs know not to bite the hand that feeds them and that is why we keep them and not tigers as pets. The word dog was “Kyon” so you can see how the word for kiss “Kyneo” or “Kuneo” was associated with dogs.
The word worship could be used not only by worshipping God. For, dogs can lick a mans hand and that is good since we represent God in his image. But man should never worship any man instead of God, That would be idolatry. We can worship man and angles if they are representing God. But not evil men and man-made things. That too would be idolatry and would cut us of from Gods blessings. Common sense.
Men in the Bible especially as an oriental custom were accustomed to worship men or angels. As Abraham did and Lot and in many cases. It was normal and part of their culture to feed and shelter men and sometimes angels. Showing hospitality to men and angels, but really to all. And that was Gods will, but never to the detriment of God or His will.
We should never worship things that are made by men or graven by men in place of God. Nothing should come Between our dog like dependency and love for our master. Do not worship buildings that house the church or hierarchies that suppress the church!
Isa 2:8
”Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:”
Even the son of iniquity will replace worship in the real temple of God with worship of Satan in a false temple of religion. Beware!
2Th 2:4
”Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
This is the man of sin, the son of iniquity!
Now it does not matter if this temple is the third temple built against Gods will or the body of believers, if we continue to worship God according to His Word. But do not be deceived.
How can we worship today?
Isa 66:1
”Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?”
God told us He would built it not mankind. His resting place is where He deposited His spirit on Pentecost. In His elect who believe in Him.
Daniel is a great example of a man that refused to worship men but only God.
Daniel was living in an ungodly nation and perhaps the mother of them all…Babylon
No doubt their King and government required worship as all Empires do. The same in the time of Roman and the church continued to worship God not Caesa. And the same conflict of conscience has been imposed on believers during the reign of all Empires built by men. Even all the free democracies until the USA are built by men and require worship but we will only worship God and that is what distinguished us as separate and different. In your heart who do you worship?
The news on tv came out and said churches are closed and we must only meet on government approved zoom meetings. I tried just this morning and could not connect but I am still connected and worshipping the Lord in my heart!
Dan 3:4
”Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,”
Dan 3:5
”That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:”
Dan 3:6
”And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
The Jews who worshipped the true God were threatened with a firey furnace but did not bow to the government. The continued to obey God. Shadrach
Dan 3:28
”Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.”
They were protected by God almighty because they refused to worship Satan
And even when presidents change and empires change we still worship, pray and give thanks to none other than God. No one else.
When the Babylonian Chaldean empire lost to Darius and the Persians it still was no change, since the enemy is in control of all the world’s empires until our Savior returns.
It seems the same Chaldean magicians and satanic religion survives and controlled King Darius.
It seems the shadow government can even tell the King what to do
Dan 6:7
”All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.”
Dan 6:8
”Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.”
Dan 6:10
”Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.”
Why didn’t Daniel obey the king like a good little citizen should. He followed not what was legal but what was moral. He did not stop praying, as in Acts the apostles did not obey men’s decrees when it was against Gods commands
At risk to himself Daniel never stopped worshipping God, praying and speaking to God and thanking God, not Fauci.
Dan 6:11
”Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.”
So their police arrived and Daniel was openly praying. Church for him never could be closed
Dan 6:22
”My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.”
So again God delivered those who worship only Him. And the minions of Satan were thrown to the lions den for lunch. Mans laws change from pro God to against God and back again but Our God changes not!
So who are we going to worship? And How can we in the times we are in after Jesus?
Mat 4:9-10
”And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
If we serve and worship satan he promises to give us all the world. He promises riches, women, power, and wonderful trips around the world if we just stop worshipping God
Mat 4:10
”Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
Deu 10:20 KJV – 20
”Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.”
It is evident you cannot offer something you do not have. For a time the Scripture teach Satan is the ruler of the age and he has all the world in his hands. Not for long because when we worship God he loses more and more to the Kingdom of God.
Mat 15:9
”But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
Jesus taught that there are many religious rules that religious men command us to do, but the only way to God is Jesus. All other ways are useless and harmful
He also taught that a relationship with God is not an outside thing but comes from our center. It is where are heart is that counts. Jesus told them to understand this well
Mat 15:11
”Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”
Luk 11:39
”And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.”
And this truth offends the religious folk that prefer to clean up their acts.
In the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacobs well we see discussion where the word “ worship” is used eight times. So say that this number relates to new beginnings and a new order of creation and that is what Jesus came to bring.
https://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/8.html.
”Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”
This was the womans question after she saw Jesus was a prophet with the power of the Holy spirit.
Until a person knows the holy spirit, the gift the Jesus came to give, he thinks in limited terms of the flesh. Where can I go to church to worship and be close to God. Until this gift was given on Pentecost that was how it was. Here she was limited by what she was taught by her “fathers” Some say you have to go to Jerusalem, some say you have to go to Mecca, some say mount Hebron and some say New York timesquare tabernacle. But Jesus said no.
Jhn 4:21
”Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.”
So where do we worship God? And how?
Jhn 4:22
”Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.”
At least all salvation came from the Jews because there is no salvation outside the name of Jesus and He was born from the Jews. God had to chose one man and one tribe. But it is only through one Jew named Jesus of Nazareth!
Jhn 4:23
”But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”
The hour or time was not that day. It would take the sacrifice of the Lamb of God to wash away all sin and separation between God and man. When there was peace and when Jesus overcame death in His victorious resurrection it was still not time. But close. He even in his resurrected body told Mary to not touch him because he was not ascended. Once He sat down at the Fathers right hand and all was completed He and His father sent this gift of Holy spirit on Pentecost. Then the right hour came and has always been with us unto today.
There is false worship and true worship but the true worship will worship in spirit and truth. The hour came on Pentecost with the Gift of the Holy Spirit who is the spirit of Christ Himself. To truly worship you must be sealed by this Spirit.
And all through the ages God has been patiently waiting for people to come back to Him and worship Him.
The words “in spirit and truth” are figurative way of saying spirtually true or truly spiritual.
Jhn 4:24
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
This phrase “in spirit and in truth” is used twice. The phrase has a adverbial force, it modifies the meaning of the verb we are looking to understand, that is “worship” SO it is keu to understand how to worship
It is not the mark placed on our outer bodies that matters, but the seal and signature God placed in us when we first believed! God always looks on the inside, what is going on in our hearts first,
Hendiadys a figure of speech using two words refering to one truth. Not two. Jesus was speaking of one way to worship in a “truly spiritual” manner.
SO what is this truly spirit manner? It is to remove all the ceremonies and rules from worship. God has been waiting for our heart. But could not give mankind this heart until Christ.
Jesus was telling the woman about the gift of the Holy spirit HE came to give to the believers.
Jhn 4:10
“Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”
Jesus obviously was not refering to physical water, but some gift of God. He refered to this as living water. This was the gift to come at Pentecost
Jhn 7:38
“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
Jhn 7:39
“(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”
Jhn 16:7
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”
He was speaking of the living water, the Comforter, the spirit of truth was necessary. Before that man could nor truly worship God. When the Spirit of the Father came and was received only then could men have the Christ living in them and worship God with the heart of a Son to their father.
Gal 4:6
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”
Before this event there was no spirit available to live in our hearts. But even when Jesus walked the earth He told his believers to ask for it because it was in the near future. The day of Pentcost.
For the religious who call them selves “Christians” or “Jewish” or “Muslim” or Buddhist or whatever , worship is only unheard rituals. But for us who worship God in truly in spirit it is a relationship. A Daddy and his son or daughter!
We now have the spirit of a son placed in us because we asked for it. We asked the Father God and he did not give us a stone or a scorpion but he Gift of the Holy spirit, that changed us form a dead thing to return home as a Son of God. We can call God Dad and that is why we worship, pray, thank Him, sing to Him and love Him. Before we were only able to do things on the material level. But since God gave us the spirit of sonship we have a loving relation and we now can love God as Dad. This is worship. We kiss God, we depend on God, we cuddle up with God. That is worship and no church service or animal sacrifice can do that. Butt he Holy spirit, the spirit of His own son in our inner man can!
There is no outward mark on the flesh that can make us worship or love God. Not even circumcision which was a mark to tell if someone had faith in God. No more. No more religion no more outward washing of the vessel leaving the heart still dead. No we are reborn and we worship God in the spirit none of these outside shows will make any difference without a person relation with God. Paul knew by experience as he penned these words to the Phillipians. He was a perfect religious dude….A Pharisee of Pharisees. But He met Christ.
“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.”
“Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:”
Worship in the spirit is different that worship without the spirit. But we have a means to talk now directly with our Father through the Spirit he sent to us. We call this the manifestation of spirit. Or the witness of the Spirit. Or the down payment of the spirit
Worship the word Proskuneo is really illustrated by the dog. I have my doggie in my lap right as I write. She is a 8 pound Chihuahua and I treat her like my own child. She is not but she is adopted. We are born again and are literally children of God by His seed of Eternal life the holy spirit. But the dogs that we take into our family are not like dogs that are wild
They are protected and given all the need by us as their parents. They know they can trust in us and will lick our hands not bight them. They totally depend on us with all humility and never question our authority. Well sometimes the do but then they get in trouble, like we do. They have a relation with their master like we do with our God. They worship us and it is the relation.
We have the same relation (or we should have) with our Master and our Father. Because we are totally dependent on Him for all our needs and protection. We are better to be in conversation and thanking Him for all good things come from Him and no where else.
Our Father is Love and his love is so much better than a master and his beloved pet, or much higher than the love between a mother and her babe. His love is infinite and we can worship Him for the best gift, Jesus His Son.
We can speak to Him in perfect language. We can now speak the language of the angel with our God. And we are nothing, but so powerful when we do this in love for our Dad
The best way we can love and hug our Father who is The Spirit is by spiritual means. He placed a part of what He is Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit into us when we believed. We are chips off the old block. That part of us that is now spirit is perfect like our father and we now have a spiritual “genetic” nature. So God has given us a new way to worship and communicate Spirit to spirit and spirit to Spirit.
1Co 13:1
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”
And we are speaking from Spirit to Spirit. REMEMBER Jesus told us God is Spirit and that is a realm above and beyond what we see in the material world. We are also able to speak with Him in our understand and now we have been given the ability to worship Him in the spirit!
1Co 14:15
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Now we can have His holy spirit inspire our words in our understanding and that could be a manifestation of prophecy or word of knowledge and wisdom. All worked our of our inner man the spirit of a SON. We have the ability to pray in the spirit and sing with words in languages of foreign nations or even angelic beings! This is true worship in the spirit.
We can praise God and worship Him as we are lead by the spirit He gave to us. Part of worship and showing our faithful love to Father is thanks, And the best way is in tongues of languages that we do not understand. God has given this gift and we all have the potential if we just walk out on faith and do it.
Psa 35:18
“I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.”
We now are called in the new congregation of His Body,. We can give thanks, bless and speak to him by the spirit. It was normal in the beginning of the elect “church” and still is, except our religious leaders took it away. This is snap shot of the normal “Church” to 1
1Co 14:16
“Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?”
They normally blessed God and gave thanks by speaking in tongues. Speaking in languages inspired not from their understanding but flowing from the heart of the Sonship spirit
1Co 14:16
“Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?”
1Co 14:17
“For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.”
Paul said it. It is giving thanks well to God. But in a congregation the main goal is to love God, yes, but also love the persons around you. They that come to “congregation” are not always saved or spiritual yet. So that is why we must always remember that all is done to show love.
1Co 14:18
“I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:”
And Paul was our example of love, yet in his personal relation with God He always worshipped and gave thanks.
Eph 6:18
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”
We are in a battle to win for the Kingdom of God and we need to wear the armor He gave us (Eph 6:10-18) and the weapons are put on with prayer and worship. We must keep close to God our Dad.
Rom 8:15
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of sonship, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.:
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”
This is our relation and we are new creations. It is not that we were just adopted. A parent who adopts can always disown his children but not he natural father. God our Father has placed His seen in us. Not a natural sperm like our first fathers. But the spirit of Christ. His own son is invested in every believe that calls on Him to be saved. We have been born again with a new Eternal nature.
1Pe 1:23
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
Now since the Christ in us is the Eternal you, you also have a way to love on your Spirit Father. But he spirit He placed in you. That is what we have and that is what is our guarantee every time we doubt we are saved. We only need to see the power of this gift in evidence and one way of nine, is speaking in tongues or praying in tongue or worshipping in the spirit.
1Co 12:10
“To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:”
We have been mistaught that these are “gifts” but they never were called that in the word of Paul. The nine part of the manifestation or proof of this spiritual gift is shown in nine spiritual ways, not nine spiritual gifts! Gifts was added here without any authority from God to the King James (Only word of God?) translation. It was not the right word, and it should read spirit matters or things of the spirit realm.
1Co 12:1
“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.”
Check it our for yourself
https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/1co/12/10/s_1074010
And these were not supposed to be given to nine different persons. But they were orchestrated by one person our Lord Jesus as our head and leader. He directs to whom and when that they would receive word of revelation or knowledge, as to when and where to speak in tongue to pray or when to do miracles and heal. All believers have been given the same Christ in them!
But the first thing before loving people is to Love our Father GOD and that is the worship no man can take away. We can always in every place, even jail, or even marked by a vaccine, worship God first. It is a spiritual relation for a SON and THE FATHER and no man can touch this love between us!!
Luk 11:9
“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
Luk 11:10
“For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
Luk 11:11
“If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?”
Luk 11:12
“Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?”
Luk 11:13
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”
Act 1:8
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
A few days before it came Jesus left this important promise before He ascended to the right hand of the Father. Now we are living in a post Pentecost time in the Body of Christ and all who call on Jesus will be born again and given the spirit of a son, and now we can truly worship God by spirit
Rom 8:15
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Notice Jesus said that God is Spirit, and so He is. He is Holy and He is Spirit. He is the Holy Spirit and He gave us a piece of what He is ……the gift of holy spirit or the spirit of Christ in our hearts. The is why we can call Jesus Lord, because we believe in our hearts. That is why we do anything for God, because we first worship Him and love Him in our hearts. We are sealed and signed by God when we trusted in Him. We are His Children when we received the spirit of sonship.
God is love and He is the Spirit that created all the universe and this good earth. He made it all in love for his man. Man threw it away but since God is love He got it back for us. And now we are waiting until it is totally brought back and restored.
Meanwhile He has won our hearts back to Him. This is how we worship God and not the beast. We have been changed the moment we said yes to this plan and the moment we trusted the Gospel. No matter what we do, Greater is He that is in us that our sins and outer vessels.
Act 2:38
“Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”
This is why we are saved by grace, because it was a gift. Jesus did the work for us. All we need to do is change our minds from saying no I am not ready I have to clean up my act to yes thank you Jesus for cleaning me up and just say yes to the gift. Then we have the spirit of Christ that always worships His father
We can worship God now in any place and at any time and no matter what we do or not because true worships starts with a relationship of a Father and His son. Because he has placed in you the spirit of Christ, we can worship anytime and cry Daddy help me!
We can assure our selves by speaking in tongues that we still are with our Father when thrown in prison or even killed. We need this assurance in this evil world.
Rom 8:16
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:”
This is one way the Spirit witness with our own soul we are ok, and we are in Dad’s arms forever!
2Co 1:22
“who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.”
This is a way to feel and see that guarantee He is never leaving us nowhere and in no time
Rom 8:26
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
And the true beauty of praying in tongues is that we understand nothing in our conversation with God. He choses the words for needs that we cannot even imagine we need! The spirit of Christ, our inner man is in direct spiritual conversation with Father. It can express things we cannot imagine to express, Yes we can pour our heart out with prayers of understanding. But when God chosed the words goes beyond that
Act 1:8
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
It was the power of the gift given on Pentecost that gives the believe assurance and confidence. It was the supernatural power in action that made them witnesses to not just the world but to their own weak flesh which is still in the world.(for a short time compared to Eternity!)
Act 2:4
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
When the gift of Christ in you came it was always available. God never would take back His gifts. And the ability they had was to speak in many languages. Not because the had a special knack to learn language. No, it was the Spirit of Christ in them that gave them the language as each word rolled off of their tongue.
They needed the faith to believe what Jesus said and the walked on it. They just began speaking without knowing a single word. It totally by passed our limited vocabulary and understanding because “as the Spirit (God in Christ in them) gave them the pronunciation and made their mouths form words.
We still worship God in the spirit and this is what is our assurance we are with GOD even if we are forced to live in the world systems that demand we used money, bar codes, Q codes and vaccination passports. That cannot affect your love for God but your worship of God is a true mark of salvation. Keep loving and worshipping GOD as He directs you and you will be all right. We are sealed with this spirit and always His no matter what. No matter what you do or don’t and no matter what they do to your body.
Jesus promised us
Mat 10:28
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:”
Rom 8:39
“Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
And we who have trusted the Gospel of Jesus cannot be touched for ever! Mark of the beast is nothing to us who have the seal of GOD!!!!! We worship God and cannot worship the beast! It is not possible.
Eph 1:13
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,”
We are singed for, sealed and marked by God as His own forever. Nothing can separate you once you have heard the truth and believed it! It is all by Grace and a gift of love.
Eph 4:30
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
Even though we may harm our own bodies, drink too much, marry the wrong ones, smoke cigars? And yes even succumb to pressure and take a mark. God knows the holy spirit in you. You are His and hurting your self may upset Father, nothing will separate a true Fathers love for His Own. You are His until the day that all will be finally made right. A day when your old sick body will be redeemed like your perfect inner man. We are guaranteed and sealed until that day. Have you taken the seal? Now would be a good time. Ask God the fill you with the Spirit of the son Christ loving and worshipping the father. The moment you trust the gospel you are sealed forever. Revelation of John never could deny that. Once you are marked and sealed by His Son His son will never leave and neither will Your Father in Heaven!
