Where is the place where we should worship the Creator?
This discussion is old, as we can see in the Holy Scripture:
Let's see the answer of Jesus:
See that our spirit is the place of worship. But, what to do in our spirit? How to worship the Creator?
1 - Being humble (Prov 16:19; 1Peter 3:8), but, at the same time sturdy (Luke 1:80);
2 - Being sober (simple, economic and frugal) (1Peter 1:13);
3 - Being fervent (Acts 18:25; Romans 12:11);
4 - Keeping our spirit sensitive to the compassion (see John 11:33) and correction (Psalm 34:18) of the Holy Spirit;
5 - Being present in the life of people (1Cor 5:3,4; Colossians 2:5; 1Thess 2:17) in perfect union (Philippians 2:2).
This last item is worth of more attention. The true ministration starts in the heart (in particular, in the spirit). It is there where we ought to seek Jesus on behalf of the person (2Cor 3.1-3).
Only after He adding one more brick of His House in our spirit (1Peter 2.5-8), namely, giving His word and gift to be ministered to each person that He puts in our life is that we go to the action.
So, let us build up the wall of fire (Zechariah 2.5) in the life of them, having patience to stand in the gap before the Creator for them so that they don't come to be destroyed. This is one type of person that the Creator is searching (Ezekiel 22:30). Have a good day poring on this.
This discussion is old, as we can see in the Holy Scripture:
- "Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” (John 4:20).
Let's see the answer of Jesus:
- "Jesus *said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will *worship the Father in spirit* and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. *God is spirit*, and those who worship Him must *worship in spirit* and truth.”" (John 4.21-24).
