OUR WORSHIP AS RIGHTEOUS


 
 
Under the law, the people of God had but limited access to Gods presence due to the their unrighteousness, in fact, they couldnt access Gods presence except by the means of a representatives i.e. the priests and they even had a special representative who was the high priest, only the high priest had access to the inner court of the temple (holiest) which was most reverenced only once in a year (Heb 9:1-7) to atone for His own sin and the sin of the people by the blood of goats and lambs.
 
        However in the new covenant, Christ being our high priest of better things, He obtained eternal redemption for us, once and for all by entering into the Holies not by the blood of animals but by His own blood (Heb 9:12, 10:12), because the blood of animals could never have taken away sin (Heb 10:4,8,11), but only covered them this is why the same sacrifice had to be repeatedly done each year, hence the need to take away the law and establish a new covenant of better promises (Heb 10:9)
 
        The sacrifice of Himself that Jesus Christ has offered has alone sanctified us and there is no need whatsoever to repeat any sacrifice in whatever form because the blood of Jesus dealt with sin once and for all (Heb 10:10,14). By virtue of Christ offering of Himself for us, we are once and for all purified forever (Heb 10:14), we therefore do not have any fear whatsoever in the presence of our father
 
        The inner court of the temple symbolized the presence of God in the heavens, Our high priest made the way for us to have access to the presence of the father by making us righteous and sanctifying us, so we have all boldness also to enter into the heavens enter to offer our spiritual worship and our prayers right in the presence of our father (Heb 10:19) without anyone doing it for us or on our behalf but in person because the sin has been removed from the sight of God and has also been purged from our conscience (Heb 10:17).
 
We can now behold his glory in heaven by dwelling in His presence while offering our spiritual worship (Rom 12:1, John4:24) for our spirit has now become the temple of God, and the offering of our bodies (spirit) is our reasonable service to the father, our boldness and liberty is not of pride but it is as a result of the overpayment for our sin that Jesus Christ made.
 
All glory be to God because we can now minister directly unto our God in spiritual worship (Rev 1:6, 5:12), but the question is how often do you minister to the father, you should do this daily  because that is what you are made for.

Leading of The Spirit(Direction in a simple way)1

John 8:12(KJV) 12[Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, ] I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Light is a gift in Christ. Jesus speaks of followers. Followers are believers .Disciples. We become disciples by the gospel . Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) 18[And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ] All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. The Narratives of Luke in the book of acts relates this well. It calls believers disciples and disciples are believers. Ephesians 5:8-9 (KJV) 8[For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ] are ye[ light in the Lord: walk as children of light:] 9[(For the fruit of the Spirit ] is[ in ...

#FUNCTIONING LIKE GOD#8

The spirit of a man is the essence of Him The spirit has a soul and lives in a body But the realness of the trio Is yet the spirit   God is Spirit by nature So when He created you and I In His image and likeness created He us That we may function even like Him So just like the Spirit of God is the essence of God So is the spirit of man the essence of man   But before a man can fully function like God He needs the Spirit of God To yet fill his own spirit To make possible the fellowship of Spirits Like it was in the garden of Eden   If you have received into spirit The spirit which is of God Then you need to continuously fellowship with HIM To fully manifest the person of God And to function like Him   If you have believed in Jesus Christ But have not received into your spirit The Spirit of God Then all you need to do Is to ask the father in faith Who alone give good gifts ...
