WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.
Ivan Pattison,
John
Ø
Have we as Christians, taken the time to worship God, in spirit and
in truth?
Ø
Are we as Christians,
worshiping God in spirit, and in truth?
Ø
Will these words cause us to take a break, and think about where we
are in our worship, to our God the Father?
Ø
What is worshiping God in spirit and in the truth?
To worship God in spirit, is to get our
spirit moving with God, and be one with God…
We first have to come to a place of change, in the way we have
lived, that is if we have not already done this, and it doesn’t matter how
spiritual we are, there is, always room for change We
find today there are churches, that do not move in the same spirit with God the
Father.
How many deny the Power of God, and how many dead churches, do we have?

Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away.
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the
iniquity of us all.
One way of walking in Truth, is having the proper interpretation of
the Word of God, and using God’s Word as a Sword; Ephesians 6:17, Hebrews 4:12.
There are times that God speaks differently to each one of us, from different
parts of His Word, and sometimes it is only for ourselves, and other times, it
is also for others.
We must get the Word of Truth into our spirit, and get it in now, with an
ongoing action. There is no way we can come to a place and say we don’t need to
read the Word anymore.
I was talking to God some years back and He gave
me this revelation, well it was a revelation to me. Did you know that the Helmet of Salvation is having the Word of God in
our mind, it protects us from satan
taking over our mind, and there is a real fight on, with satan
taking over the minds of each one of us, and especially our young.
Early this year, in one of my talks to the Lord, and I have many
every day, and I said to Him; Lord how do I stop those in the occult, (as I
live in an area where the occult is rampant), from reading my mind, and knowing
what I am doing or about to do. His answer was; "keep repeating the Word
of God", in other words keep running the Word of God through our minds.
Praying in tongues is a way to stop satan from understanding what we are praying.
Hebrew
Let
us worship God in spirit and in Truth, and let us saturate ourselves with the
Word of God, that we have so much of the Word of God in us, that it is coming
out our mouth without us having to even think what part of the Word of God can we use for our situation.
Deuteronomy
30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that
thou hayest do it.
God has given us His Word, for us to put His Word in our hearts, and what is in
the heart will come out the mouth.
Colossians
When we have God’s peace in us,
that gives us a satisfactory life. We can jump over walls, run through
fire, and go through all things that come our way, when we are obedient to God.

John
It is great to have this confidence in God, and
the confidence in what we are doing for Him, and know we are in His perfect
will, and some times it takes a while to get into the perfect will of God.
I am so thankful even though this year has been
so hard for me, but at the same time I am thankful for so many friends that I
have, and how they support me in prayer and that I support them also in prayer,
and it is so important that we keep in touch with each other, this is so
important.

Timothy
We do not have to show ourselves approved unto
man, as there will always be plenty, that will always find fault with us, but
we do have to have God’s approval in the way and how we live. We are not to be
men pleasers but a God the Father pleaser!!! Galatians
Ephesians
Ephesians
Mark
Psalm 68:4 NLT"Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud
praises to him who rides the clouds! His name is the
LORD—rejoice in his presence!"
Shalom and Love, Ivan
