Spirit and Truth for real
When you trust man rather than Yahweh/ Jehovah, then you suffer spiritually.
When you trust man rather than Yahweh/ Jehovah, then you suffer spiritually.
Jeremiah 17:5-6 (American Standard Version)
5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
If you wholeheartedly trust Jehovah, then peace is yours.
2 Chronicles 16:9 (American Standard Version)
9 For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
Jehovah is not partial.
Acts 10:34-35 (American Standard Version)
34 And Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
Seek Intensely to Find
Proverbs 2:1-5 (American Standard Version)
Proverbs 2
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, And lay up my commandments with thee;
2 So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thy heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
The Meaning of the Fear of Jehovah.
Proverbs 8:13 (American Standard Version)
13 The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.
Keep on seeking
Acts 17:11 (American Standard Version)
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
Matthew 7:7-8 (American Standard Version)
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Jehovah is ONE.
Deuteronomy 6:4 (American Standard Version)
4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:
God is love.
1 John 4:8 (New International Version)
8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
John 4: 23, reads: Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS
will worship the Father with spirit AND TRUTH, for, indeed, the Father is LOOKING FOR
suchlike ones to worship him.
Verse 24 of John 4 reads: God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him MUST worship with
spirit AND TRUTH.
From the above we should SEE that Almighty God REQUIRES that we worship Him in SPIRIT
and TRUTH.
In spirit would refer to God's holy spirit or active force. At Galatians 5:16 to 18, we read:
But I say, keep walking by SPIRIT and you will carry out NO FLESHLY DESIRE at all.
For the FLESH is AGAINST the SPIRIT in its DESIRE, and the spirit is against the flesh, for these
are OPPOSED to each other, so that the very things that you would like to do you do not do.
Furthermore, if you are being LED by spirit, you are NOT UNDER LAW.
Fruitage of spirit
At Galatians 5:22, 23 we read: On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE,
LONG-SUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MILDNESS, SELF-CONTROL.
Against such things there is NO LAW.
TRUTH
At Psalm 119:160 it reads: The SUBSTANCE of your word IS TRUTH,
And EVERY righteous judicial decision of yours is to TIME INDEFINITE.
Jesus Christ has said that he had the TRUTH from God, whilst accusing some Jews of following
Satan, the father of the LIE.
At John 8: 40, it reads: But you are seeking to kill me, a man that has told you the TRUTH that
I HEARD FROM God. Abraham did not do this.
John 8: 44 reads: You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father.
That one was a MANSLAYER WHEN HE BEGAN, and he did not stand fast in the TRUTH,
because truth is not in him. WHEN HE SPEAKS THE LIE, HE SPEAKS ACCORDING TO
HIS OWN DISPOSITION, because he IS A LIAR and the FATHER OF [THE LIE].
TRUTH, then, is FROM God Almighty, as related by INSPIRED men and women, and recorded
in the Holy Scriptures [Bible] for OUR BENEFIT, whilst ANYTHING that is NOT IN
AGREEMENT with the Bible, ORIGINATES from Satan, the Devil.
2 Peter 1: 19 to 21, read: Consequently we have the prophetic word [made] more sure, and you
are doing well in PAYING ATTENTION to it as to a LAMP SHINING in a DARK place, until
day dawns and a daystar rises, in your HEARTS.
For you know this first, that NO PROPHECY of Scripture springs from any PRIVATE
INTERPRETATION.
For prophecy was at NO TIME brought by man's WILL, BUT men spoke from God as they
were BORNE ALONG by holy spirit.
At John 17: 15 to 24, we SEE Jesus Christ [anointed One], requested that God Almighty WATCH
OVER his disciples because of the WICKED one. He showed that they were NO PART of the
world [no allegiance to ANY man-made government or body].
Verse 17 says: Sanctify them by MEANS of the TRUTH, your word is TRUTH.
Verse 18 refers to the assignment of MINISTERING to those who will LISTEN.
The Scriptures go on to show that the WORLD would BELIEVE, BECAUSE of the UNITY of
TRUE WORSHIPERS, that is, TRUE TEACHINGS of God Almighty, Jehovah.
John 17: 26 reads: And I have MADE YOUR NAME KNOWN to them and WILL MAKE it
KNOWN in order that the LOVE with which you LOVED me MAY BE IN THEM and I in union with them.
Verse 24 shows that Jesus was LOVED by his Father, Jehovah, before the EARTH was
FORMED. Compare with Proverbs 8: 22- 30.; Revelation 3: 14, 12; Col. 1:15-20.
