How do we Praise GOD How do we Worship GOD who taught you how or did it come over you Automatically?

[PloughBoy]

And where and when you 1st. Worship Him or Praised Him. Can you remember any of this and how did you "Worship" and "Praise Him, and how was your "adoration" directed in what direction in what captivity?

I remember After My conversion, when I would run in o a "Pentecostals" a stranger or Family fields or relatives, of life long Generations of family Friends, for our family had "Atheist", Holiness . Methodist, Pentecostals, Lutherans, Jehovah Witness, Roman Catholics, All kinds of "Baptist", Non-Denominations, believers in "Jesus Christ" The son of the Living GOD.

But I notice this about "Pentecostals" they would meet you will a Greetings like This" "Praise The LORD" and the respond would be "Praise The LORD" but I did Notice, neither one would actually Praise The LORD of GOD The FATHER",,, The just would say "Praise the LORD" and neither would Praise The LORD" every time I heard the same thing would come to my mind! Strange people.

And I notice when I tell Christians what GOD and Jesus As reveal to me in My life, Which is real "WORSHIP and PRAISING GOD" they get upset. and called me as being Proud and Lifted UP as I exalt The LORD and Giving Him THE PRIASE By expressing How He has WORKED in MY LIFE! In All Things, The good and the bad and the ugly" they get mad at MY PRAISES And WORSHIPPING of GOD through what he has done in My Life. I am A NEW CREATURE in Christ, That is More Glorious Than Healing the Sick, Feeding the Poor, Rasing up The Dead, Giving Sight to the Blind. Healing of Cancer, and Good Paying JoB a brand new baby and new house or Car, a wife, a husband, all of these this are normal, But being A Brand new CREATURE is Not normal to Be Filled in The Spirit of GOD from a Spiritual Birth is Not Normal, teaching bible classes is normal preaching is normal, Dying is Normal and Dead is normal, But to Be "BORN of GOD is not normal to be a christian is normal to be one of "The Sons of GOD" is not normal, To Be adopted By "The ALMIGHTY GOD" is not Normal, To inherit a "Shared inheritance of The Only SON of GOD" with all Of The benefits He has is Not normal! To have a relationship with The Son of GOD and The FATHER and "THE PARAKLETOS of GOD" is Not normal.

And many will hate me for the words I have just Spoken, because I have Just "GAVE GOD THE Praise" and Have I Just Worshiped Him. By My declarations of HIM> Now do get me wrong, We cannot count all of the ways we do worship GOD WHO IS OUR FATHER.

PSALM 139 BSB
…"How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum! If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.

◄ Psalm 139 ►

Berean Standard Bible Par ▾ You Have Searched Me and Known Me For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 1O LORD, You have searched me and known me. 2You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar. 3You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways. 4Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD. 5You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? 8If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. 9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea, 10even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast. 11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”— 12even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You. 13For You formed my inmost being;a You knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well. 15My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be. 17How precious to me are Your thoughts,b O God, how vast is their sum! 18If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You. 19O God, that You would slay the wicked— away from me, you bloodthirsty men— 20who speak of You deceitfully; Your enemies take Your name in vain.c 21Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, and detest those who rise against You? 22I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them as my enemies. 23Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns. 24See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.

 

[watertolive]

Praise God, we are not normal. Praise God, we are peculiar. Praise God for lifting me up, weightless, sin free. Praise God for sealing me with the Holy Ghost. Praise God, he loves me.
All praise glory and honor be unto God.

Hi thanks for the reply. .

I would remind God set his approval on a certain kind of religious order to see if his sons of God (Christians) hear his voice. calling them the church the previously fatherless (no heavenly Father and not maried the church or bride and widows not married to Christ as the bride .The care of the household of God the church .

He call other religions fools no God in the hard hearts.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world

Christian fellowship. .

Christ is the author and finisher as a work of his mighty faith a labor of his unseen Love. The Alpha and Omega. The just powerful one. . the one that applies his power as mercy and grace to his born again sons of God . called Christians.

Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Revelation 1:11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

It's not automatic. No man can come to eternal life of our Holy Father having no desire to please God by his written authority . (the drawing power of faith).

His living abiding word . "Let there be" can draw mankind to believe and as a testimony with their mouth declare as did Thomas when lovingly commanded "be not faithless but rather believe God not seen. Then empowered as a prophet moved by the Holy Spirit declared my Lord not seen and God i do believe .previously having no faith that could please God not seen..

God is no longer bringing any new revelations . And personal experience is not the validator of the things not seen .Things of faith .Things of our invisible God.

We do not pit personal experience against another's experience rather than faith (power of God) to faith (the gospel)

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith

The question is asked in Luke. When Jesus the Son of man comes . . . will he find men drawn by his Fathers faith as it is written or will it be Anarchy each man for his own man to his own experiential understanding. ? Not a written law? The sky is the limit.


Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

The father of lies still has the power of lying spirits to wonder after and therefore not coming to a conclusion of faith . . ."that which was hoped for". it would be " Let there be" faithfully said and there was no witness of that exclusive faith that works mutually in all sons of God. new creatures, Christians.

Wondering or marveling is not believing .it wondering or marvling not come to a end of faith. The lying wondering power of the devil.He hates scripture prophecy, the power of God.
Its why jesu declared to Nicodemus as those who did wonder putting their hope in shadows of good things to come and not the spiritual understanding. Declaring or lovenly commanding Nicodemus to Marvel not as the greatest possible miracle born again . Giving us the power to believe.. he sends a strong delusion to wonder or marvel seekers.

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.I would think

Colossian 2:18 speaks to the matter.

Don’t Follow Rules That People Make

Colossian 2:18-18 ERV 18 Some people enjoy acting as if they are humble and love to worship angels.They always talk about the visions they have seen. Don’t listen to them when they say you are wrong because you don’t do these things. It is so foolish for them to feel such pride, because it is all based on their own human ideas.

When A " Child of GOD" experience this, there is nothing like it and Nothing can come near or match This experience throughout All Eternity.
You do not want to go anywhere or be with anybody , the church, the people, your brothers or sisters in Christ, Nothing can be compared to This experience.
Nothing, You can sit t=right there and not say one word through out all eternity. Nothing Can match this experience .

NASB 1977
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and "We" will come to him, and make Our [Residence] with him.

[there is nothing through all eternity to match this experience. "the Holy Ghost" Cannot match this. The Glory of This dwelling in you. and if you think the Holy Ghost is something, you have not been here.] "the Father and the SON" Both dwelling in you. "The Triune GOD" dining with you.

The eternal Father works in the sons of God (Christian) the bride of Christ the church. What we will be when we receive the promise of our new incorruptible body is not revealed.

If you mean the born again experience as God works in us through the hearing of His word to both will and perfom it to his good pleasure then I would agree. The work of the gospel.

The Holy Ghost the Spirit of Christ's faith performs the work he does not match something.. . .it has no equal.

The Father as the Spirit of sonship by which we cry out Abba and man sons of God that does the will of the father the same our his brother and sister . We call no man on earth Holy Father.

Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

'I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Hearing of thy love and faith,
which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus,
and toward all saints;
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual
by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love,
because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. '
(Phm 1:4-7)

Hello @PloughBoy,

Paul prays in the verses above for Philemon, praying that the communication of Philemon's faith may become effectual, How? By the acknowledging of every good thing which is in him in Christ Jesus.

I can identify with the worship that takes place within the spirit, as we wait on Him. The indescribable joy that often finds it's expression in tears of gratitude and praise, much like that found in the Psalm that you quoted. As all that God has done for us, in and through His Beloved Son, dawns upon our spirit, and brings forth a worship that is born of the Spirit, and would be incommunicable by the flesh: It takes place as we read His Word, and meditate upon it. Such worship should bring forth joy, consolation and refreshing, to the spirit of all of like mind who witness it, and recognise it for what it is.

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris

Hello again,

I can testify that God has brought me out of darkness into light. Out from under the law of sin and death into the law of the spirit of life which is in Christ Jesus. Having been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God's Dear Son. Out from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God. I have been made meet to partake of the inheritance of the saints in the light. Having been Crucified with Christ, quickened, raised and ascended with Christ to God's right hand. For of Him (God Himself) am I in Christ Jesus. His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which He has ordained that I should walk in. As one who has been forgiven for all her sin, and accepted in the Beloved. Made complete in Christ by the finished work of Christ through His all-sufficient sacrifice for sin. I have also been given the spirit of sonship, whereby I can call the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, my Father too: and stand before God as one who is holy and without blame: for the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus, has been ascribed to me. How wonderful is that! I have also been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus.

* Forgiven, Justified, sanctified, a child of my Father, and an heir of His grace. Praise His Holy Name!

There is so very much!!
Thank you

He sent His Son, to rescue us, He knew us before we knew ourselves, He did not have look for us, He knew where we were, He always knew. His Angels was always there. we, who are His , never left from His protection, for we, always , The Elect of God never left from His Protecting arms. For he always been our Father, Before The world even began. He Loved us, and not them. For it is written in His Book, and we do not have to proof it to No man, For we are The "Sons of The LIVNG GOD"! And One Day: The WHOLE WORLD! "Both The Dead and Alive" Will finally see who we really are. "The Manifestation of The Glory of The Sons of The LIVING GOD" who will Judge The Whole World and The Demons and The Devils!

Many think that we are a "JOKE"! But that Day will be revealed by FIRE.

Psalm 2

1Why do the nations conspire a
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9You will break them with a rod of iron b ;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

We have a living hope of a new incorruptible body. . a born again hope that works in us as our daily bread. . all die not receiving the glorious new. . Hope seen in not hope at all.

Prophecy, not yet fulfilled can cause a person to marvel or wonder as an exciting experience . But we walk by faith the unseen eternal things .

Christ , as a example in Exodus declares when he sees the blood (work of the Spirit) not when we literally see it as a sign to those who do not trust prophecy . That blood was there dried up for more than 21 days, maybe in need of luminol ( forensic science. ) in other words walk by faith the unseen things of God.

God literally moved them killing the firstborn .

Again the believers were trusting the prophecy given 430 years earlier to Abraham the father of all the nations of the world .

Blood used as a token to signify a parable or comparring is in view.

Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.


I would think we would get excited or built up when we are blessed by great experiences. . having a living hope as our confidence he will raise us up on the last day under the sun .

Nicodemus one that did seek after a sign or token before he would believe was longingly commanded to "marvel not" in respect to the greatest possible miracle "born again" wondering is not believing. . . neither is marveling .

I would suggest get excited and believe as a anchor to our new born again souls.

The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need.

I do not need Hebrew neither do I need Greek. I do not need a building or a gathering ,, I got Jesus, ,not only do I got Jesus, I have been Created in Him, and my life is hidden in Him. So I am not a fake of a Imposter, I know where I am, and I do not live in a delusion and have to pretend something I am not, Many are searching, I am Not searching "I am In Christ" many are looking into greek words and Hebrew words, for what I do not know, But I am in Christ and He walks with me and keeps me company all the time, For "The Advocate" is real and he keeps me company all the time. And these words are apart of me:

I

The Lord is my shepherd;*
there is nothing I lack.a
2In green pastures he makes me lie down;
to still waters he leads me;
3bhe restores my soul.
He guides me along right paths*
for the sake of his name.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,c
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff comfort me.

5*You set a table before me
in front of my enemies;*
You anoint my head with oil;*d
my cup overflows.e
6Indeed, goodness and mercy* will pursue me
all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the Lordf
for endless days.


I am Content. I am not searching for anything, and that has been for a very long time.

I understood this when I was young in Christ, so this was my pursuit, and what a journey it has been.
1 Timothy 6 ASV
6But godliness with contentment is great gain: 7for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; 8but having food and covering we shall be therewith content...ff.

11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

What More could a "Child of God" want.

I am not trying to instruct or teach anybody, I am retired. I am not looking for new words and definitions, or any kind of "preeminent" I am old ,my glory youth days are over. My leadership days are long past gone and I am glad, for most of my life, I have been leading all of my life, and not by choice since I been a kid, but chosen every time, also push into leadership of all kinds. it is a burden and not a joy, for only a fool would want to lead in anything. especially into the things of GOD!

For there is no Joy in "True leadership." True Leaders Lead. But wicked men and women always love to "Rule" people and they always rush to the front of the line. you will never see them hiding to be not chosen. they rush to the front and always think they can do better than the next man. "here am I lord send me"

Luke 22 NASB
25And He said to them, “The kings [leaders] of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’ 26But it is not this way for you; rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. 27For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves?

My leadership days are long past gone and I am glad, for most of my life, I have been leading all of my life, and not by choice since I been a kid, but chosen every time, also push into leadership of all kinds. it is a burden and not a joy, for only a fool would want to lead in anything. especially into the things of GOD!

For there is no Joy in "True leadership." True Leaders Lead. But wicked men and women always love to "Rule" people and they always rush to the front of the line. you will never see them hiding to be not chosen. they rush to the front and always think they can do better than the next man. "here am I lord send me"

Luke 22 NASB
25And He said to them, “The kings [leaders] of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’ 26But it is not this way for you; rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. 27For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves?

Thanks I would agree He has supplied all our needs from the beginning.. The thief will come on the last day under the Sun . Christ has never left .
