I do not criticize how other people worship God. I believe it is not for me to criticize. I may, however, be very critical of those who do criticize others for how they worship.
Worship is something between a man and his God. I do not understand exactly why people like to throw themselves into the mix.
When it comes to doctrine I am admittedly biblical (Scripture, not my church or any church, is the standard for my doctrine). This puts me at odds, rarely because of actual interpretation, with those who value tradition as an authority or churches as source for doctrine. So that is a legitimate disagreement I may enter into if I feel so inclined.
But never the way people worship.....unless they worship naked because that's just weird.
The Church is just meant to steer us to Jesus.
The only common thing we were created for was to Love, to Love God and each other. We are all unique, only Jesus can know and heal a soul.
Each of us has a unique perception and understanding because of our many experiences, sins, wounds, shames and regrets. That’s why each spiritual journey is different.
Each one of us was created with unique facets of beauty in our likeness of God, and are destined to be together in a Glorious Unity with Jesus who will present us all together to The Father of Glory.
All we need to do is Love, fill up on Love from Jesus, and He does the work. Jesus works on us and through us works on others.
The freedom we crave the deepest, is to be free to Love.
One of the biggest most common snare and block to Love is unforgiveness, many believers are stunted in their spiritual life and are still dragging a heavy weight in certain darkness.
The trick played by the dark, is to make you think that by forgiving you are condoning the wrong done to you. And that’s not what forgiving means. Forgiving ultimately is you recognising that you are a fallen sinner as they are, and you need forgiveness as they do.
Ask God to call down His blessing on them and to let go, realising the wrongs you have done and need for forgiveness, healing and blessing.
This unblocks the great shaft of light from the Eternal, which is pure Life and Love, and Peace itself, we join that great Light once again.
That’s when we feel The Lord stirring in His Kingdom within us, enlarging our capacity to Love. Jesus is the best King, He patrols His Kingdom vigilantly He takes ground as it pleases Him to do. Darkness is His invite and provocation to invade.
Many times He steps out of the deep inner Kingdom to look at us, He has more to say of doctrine and theology in a glance than can be learned in a million libraries. Not so much in words but in silence together is everything said.
We get infused by Him, our human will gets absorbed in the great ocean of His Holy Will, our souls are saturated in the first knowledge that our minds can not yet grasp. It has to be tasted, it has to be experienced, not just described or spoken of.
Try to explain that and all words fail by themselves, it’s The Lord Jesus in the words that mean everything, our hearts are set on fire before our minds grasp anything.
Go into a silent wilderness with The Lord each day, just you and Him. Ask that He grant the humility, docility, and desire to be completely directed by Him, to hand over our will to fully be one with Him.
Respond. Jesus is impatient for the complete establishment of His Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven, far more in Him is this Fire desired.
It is no longer my will that lives, but Jesus Will that lives in me, which is the Eternal Father’s Will.
“ My food is to do the Will of The Father “
Jesus was sustained by The Divine Will, it is The Holy Eternal Core and Life of God Himself, The Fountain of Deity that flows out giving Life and existence to everything seen and unseen.
Our hearts cry out and all nature cries out for The Father’s Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
I can promise that even if you are a big stupid uneducated ugly slug and dangerous looking Jesus will still show Himself through you if you hand over your human will and desire to live completely in His Holy Will.
Souls recognise Jesus before prejudice even has a chance many times. We love and Jesus does the work.
In our will we are not free to Love and be Loved, only in God’s Holy Will are we fully free to Love and be Loved.
Jesus always understands and shares our hurts, but as we get closer to Him, we share His hurts. It’s not theory anymore it’s very real suffering.
Getting closer to Jesus makes us far more sensitive
We see people try to hide themselves, their sins, their darkness, their fears, their suffering. This hurt Jesus more than anything. So much Love that gave everything and still not trusted. These were the direct punches to His Holy Face.
Jesus sorrow was fatal to ordinary human beings, no one else could carry it.
When Jesus fully expresses Himself in street ministry, some stand and look on Him, but many hide and run away.
Do not hide and run away from Love and Goodness, it’s agony and insult beyond crucifixion. Love has a terrible pain when it isn’t trusted and accepted. It’s a cold dry shivering thick sweat of blood and dread and loneliness. That’s it in words, but words don’t come close to experiencing it.
See the Love. See the Goodness.
“ Come to me, you who are weary and overburdened, I will give you rest. “
See beyond the words, see the heart behind them.
Let the world follow the madness of the fallen human will, but we have found the pearl of great price, The Holy Divine Will. Desire it and hand over everything for it, the last and only thing that is truly yours, your human will and volition.
When you have given this, you have given everything.
