Download or read book WORSHIPPING IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH written by GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Word of God says, "God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and Truth" (Jn 4:24). To worship in spirit (or in Spirit) is to worship with your heart or human spirit (or to worship according to the Holy Spirit). This is opposed to worshipping in the flesh and according to the senses, as in the Old Testament. And you have to worship in Truth. To worship in Truth is to worship according to the Word of God. When you live in sin and say that you are praising and worshiping God, you are foolish: God has millions (or billions) of angels who worship and praise Him; and there are millions (or billions) of human beings who worship and praise God. If you live in disobedience to the Word of God that you know, even if you sing songs, and worship five hours everyday, you will still end in Hell Fire, unless you repent of your sin(s). Worship in spirit and Truth!
Download or read book Truth Or Territory written by Jim Osman and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critique of common spiritual warfare practices including binding Satan, renouncing curses, spiritual mapping and exorcisms. Using Scripture, and Scripture alone, Pastor Jim Osman shows that true spiritual warfare is not a battle over territory, but a battle for the truth. The book is divided into four sections: Establishing Biblical Principles, Exposing Unbiblical Practices, Explaining Biblical Perspectives and Examining a Biblical Passage. A biblical approach to spiritual warfare recognizes the Bible as the sole authority, rejects unbiblical and man-made methods, and rests in Christ and His finished work for victory. Many in the modern spiritual warfare movement teach a methodology of spiritual warfare that is more akin to something you would find in a Harry Potter novel (renouncing curses and using prayer mantras to seize territory) than anything described in Scripture. Many of these practices reflect a theology built on anecdotes, experience, and interviews with demons rather than a sound exegesis of Scripture. Footnoted quotations of authors like Mark Bubeck, Neil T. Anderson, and others are compared against Scripture to show that modern spiritual warfare "experts" have abandoned the authority of Scripture and opted for man-made methods to wage spiritual battle. The chapters include a study of the three enemies that every Christian faces: the world, the flesh, and the devil. Pastor Osman answers from Scripture the questions: Can a Christian be demon-possessed? Is Christ's authority ours? and, What about exorcisms? One chapter includes a helpful discussion of the link between spiritual warfare and a believer's sanctification. The foreword is written by international conference speaker Justin Peters (justinpeters.org). This book is being published as an e-book as a fundraiser to finish the new church building of Kootenai Community Church (www.kootenaichurch.org) of which Jim is one of the pastors. All the proceeds go the building fund for the completion of that project. You can see regular updates at http: //www.truthorterritory.com .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

That knowledge and understanding will keep the Word that was sown in your heart from being stolen by Satan. There is more to salvation than you have ever imagined. The forgiveness of sin was not the only thing included in your salvation. From God's perspective, it is just the beginning, a means to an end. Fellowship is the real goal. Now, become a disciple (learner and follower) of Jesus. Learn what separates Christianity from every other religion; how God sees past, present, and future sins; and much more. The Holy Spirit Living the abundant life that Jesus provided is impossible without the Holy Spirit. Before Jesus disciples received Him, they were weak and fearful. After receiving, each one became a powerhouse of God's miraculous power, and that's available to you. If you believe the Bible is true, then you must also believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit is God's will for everyone. In this book, Andrew establishes the validity of speaking in tongues, talks about the many gifts that accompany it, shares other little-known benefits, and explains how to begin speaking in tongues.

Download or read book How to Worship Jesus Christ written by Joseph S. Carroll and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to enter the presence of Jesus? Can people today do this or only biblical characters? In this classic book, Joseph Carroll shows us what it means to truly come into Jesus’ presence. There is so much more to truly worshiping Jesus than church services and personal devotions. True worship requires complete commitment of emotions, intellect, and will—and our reward is great. Carroll directs us into the presence of Christ by drawing on Scripture, especially the book of Revelation, and by giving practical steps of personal worship. The experiences of some of history’s greatest saints also serve as relatable examples of true worship. This deeply practical and personal book will help us know Jesus more intimately on a daily basis. It will help us draw close to Christ, to experience His presence, and to worship Him in ways far better than what most of us imagine to be possible.

Download or read book Excellence How to Pursue an Excellent Spirit written by Andrew Wommack and published by Harrison House. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're honest, you'll admit you want to be promoted in life. You want the benefits of success, influence, and prosperity, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's what God wants for you too! Promotion even comes from God, and though relative to what God has called each person to do, it is available to every born-again believer! But even though promotion comes from God, it isn't God who determines whether you are promoted or not. It's you. You choose to be promoted by choosing to develop an excellent spirit, and in this book, Andrew Wommack will show you how. Using examples from the lives of Daniel and his friends, and from his own life, Andrew outlines the key characteristics of excellence including identity in Christ, true humility, full obedience, endurance, and an uncompromising stand on God's word. In contrast, Andrew also explains the dangers of moral relativity and man-pleasing and how those characteristics often mire believers in a life of mediocrity and impotence. Personal talent, beauty, education, and intelligence are also not what produce promotion; it is a devoted relationship with God. No matter how much money you make or where you live; no matter who your connections are or the color of your skin; it's an excellent spirit that will be the true determiner of your promotion. Let Andrew's book encourage you to pursue Excellence.

Download or read book Liturgy and Justice written by Anne Y. Koester and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liturgical celebrations and the work of justice are tightly woven threads of the same cloth. The essays in Liturgy and Justice explore this intrinsic relationship and its promise for the ongoing renewal of church life. The authors write about the vision of the modern liturgical and social reformers, building just communities, reuniting worship and justice, globalization, rural life, church leadership, women in the Church, justice and prayer in Latino and African American communities, liturgy as a school of discipleship, forming catechumens as disciples, the catechesis of liturgy-justice, preparing just liturgies, and preaching justice. Authentic discipleship demands that the already existing relationship between our liturgy and our mission as ministers of justice be lived. Those serving in all areas of church ministry will find this book helpful in striving for justice in the Christian life. Contributors are Gilbert Ostdiek, O.F.M.; Eleanor Josaitis; Msgr.

Download or read book In Spirit and in Truth written by Alicia Reid, and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the cumulative life's work of God's humble servants Bishop Errol I. Reid and Dr. Alicia E. Reid. The contextual teachings are divinely inspired to lead people seeking spiritual truth to perceive clearer, purer, and unadulterated spiritual underpinnings of select biblical scrolls. Readers will envision divine underpinnings that run far beyond literal interpretations and pretexts of common doctrinal preconditioning. The authors' intent in writing this book is not to create controversies, yet in many instances, this book clashes with prevailing norms of established theological perceptions. It may find contentious and perhaps fierce resistance to wide acceptance, but so did all the divinely appointed and anointed patriarchs, prophets and the apostles, who stuck to the higher mission of the spiritual commission notwithstanding being socially ostracized, through hateful rejection that ultimately led to crude forms of death. The book also boldly treads in unchartered territory in instances, for example, where Jesus challenged Peter (in Luke 5:4) to launch out into the deep and let down his nets for a draught. Here dissected is Peter's reluctance to abandon his comfort zone in order to grasp beyond the veil of his developed expertise, only to find to his astonishment, there was a dimension beyond his carnal experiences where the manifestations of the Holy Spirit dissolve the impossible barriers of human perception, conception, and capabilities. Examples of the spiritual decoding contained in this book include: 1. Readers are guided to an in-depth understanding of how one can find and gain access to the essence of God through a certain interaction, through the quickening manifestations of the Holy Spirit that goes far beyond emotional or passionate appeasement, for then only can one receive the higher virtues that only faith draws from the hem of the divine garment (Luke 8:43""48). 2. Readers are reminded that God's children can never be satisfied, nor can they be fulfilled by merely the physical or carnal-minded level of their existence to serve God (Romans 8:5""8). 3. Readers are informed that one cannot actualize spiritually until one's doctrine is spiritually grounded and that follower encounters, embraces, and engages Holy Spirit manifestations that align one's soul conditioning to the only God-acceptable relationship. 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. (John 4:23""24)
Download or read book The Spirit of Truth written by Sandra Mackey and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the Old Testament is devoted to the story of the Nation chosen by God through whom the Messiah would come into the world to bless all nations. The New Testament is devoted to the story of the man that nation produced and how his life, death, and resurrection give hope to sinful humanity through his kingdom. We see the genealogy of the man Jesus tracing his lineage from God through Abraham (Matthew 1:1). John the baptizer spoke of the kingdom being at hand and the one who would come after him who would baptize with the Holy Spirit. That one was Jesus Christ. He told his apostles that he would die, but he would be raised from the dead after three days; and after his resurrection, he would send the Spirit of truth, which the Father had promised them. And they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit. He told them that they would not be alone and helpless in the world. He said that he would send them a helper, a teacher, and a comforter to sustain and assist them in carrying out the church's mission. He called this helper the Holy Spirit. It would be the Holy Spirit's purpose to guide them into all truth and to remind them of all that Jesus had said and done. He instructed them to wait in Jerusalem until they had received the promise of the Father (Acts1:3-5, 1:8). All the Old Testament prophecies and promises came to fruition as recorded in the second chapter of Acts. The apostles were waiting just as Jesus had told them to wait. It was on the day of Pentecost in the city of Jerusalem (approximately AD 33) that the apostles were baptized with the Holy Spirit. They were immersed in the Holy Spirit. They were overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit-and they spoke the words of salvation through Jesus Christ to all nations (Acts 2:1-4).
