Hi all,
John 4: 24 says, “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” The following is an excerpt from Watchman Nee’s book “The Spiritual Man”.
“The perfect and complete order of God’s operation is first to move in the human spirit, next to enlighten the mind of the soul, and finally to execute through the body. Having been born again of the Holy Spirit, believers ought now to live by their spirit. Only so shall they be qualified to ascertain the will of God and to cooperate with His Spirit in overcoming every wile of the enemy. The believer’s spirit ought to be very much alive to the movement of the Holy Spirit so as not to quench His movement but follow it in order that He may execute His purpose through the human spirit. God’s Spirit needs the cooperation of the human spirit to lead believers into triumph in their daily walk and to prepare them for the good works appointed them by God.”
How does this apply to our worship? How do we acquire power and guidance in our spirit for warfare and worship?
Watchman Nee also writes “Spiritual sense is most delicate. It is not easy to recognize even for those who have learned to know and follow it. How much more difficult will it be to discern spiritual awareness if it is subject to constant disturbance from rough soulical sensation emanating form the outside! Not only can soulical sensation confuse, it can also suppress, spiritual sense. ”
What does this mean for us as worshipers? How do we worship in spirit and in truth?
I invite your thoughts. Thanks
Walt
