The message for the beloved Children of God - Worship in Vain !
God is concern about our worship. Do you worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth? Or do you worship the Lord in Vain? First get understanding, "God is a spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth." When you worship the Lord your heart, mind and spirit should line-up with the word of God, in love. The only way God will accept our worship is to follow His directions by His word.The Lord said in Mark 7:7, Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. When we follow the commandments of men instead of God's instructions, our worship becomes vain. If our worship is vain, it is empty, hollow, and useless. It will do us no good at all. If it is in vain, it would be as though we had not worshipped God at all and we will be lost. When we worship in the way "we want" then God is dishonored and insulted. When we worship the way God has told us in His word, God is honored and glorified. Let us learn to worship the Lord in spirit and truth. Together the words "spirit and truth" mean that real worship comes from the spirit within and is based on true views of God. Jesus connects God's Spirit and our spirit in a remarkable way. A man named Nicodemus asked Jesus a question? How can a man be born again a second time? Nicodemus said, can a man go back into His mother's womb? In John 3:5-6 it says,Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. In other words, until the Holy Spirit touches our spirit with the flame of life, our spirit is so dead it does not even qualify as spirit. The time is now, to worship Him, in Spirit and Truth. Heavenly Father, we worship you Lord in Spirit and Truth for evermore. For it is written in John 4:23-24, 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. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
