Worship God in spirit and in truth


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

John 4:21-24  Jesus said:  the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.

When we, who belong to God, are taking in something that is not true, the Spirit of Truth will rise up in us to cause us to reconsider that situation and eventually truth will prevail in the matter for the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and will not approve falseness.

People often say things to us to make themselves to appear "good" or "righteous".

When this happens, I find I keep being reminded of that which they said.  And when I take that to God for HIS judgment, the truth works it's way through what they said, for it is the Spirit of Truth in us.

God does not want us to live in lies nor to be deceived, thus God gave us the Spirit of Truth.

When we learn to pay attention and to turn to God that HE would establish the truth, we live in truth.

The people whose father is the devil live in lies.

Jesus explains:  as He spoke to the religious leaders ...

John 8:42-44    Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but HE sent me.

Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 8:31-32    Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed;

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

We must build our thinking on that which God shows us about the matter at hand.

Matthew 7:24-27  Jesus says:      Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

God gives some people, who receive not the love of the truth, over to deception.

II Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Churches will fall away from instruction in various scripture and set up other doctrines in the church group.

In such cases humans "lord it over scripture" changing scripture and eliminating scripture ... ruling over scripture.

There will be a dreadful end to those who do these things in the church.

II Thessalonians 2:10-12  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. 

This is the fate for those who fall away from scripture.

It is critical for us to cling to scripture ... Hold fast to scripture.

Concerning divorce/remarriage ... 

Matthew 5:32   But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Notice: If a man divorces a "faithful wife" he will be "the cause" of her committing adultery.  If this faithful wife who was divorced by her husband remarries, she commits adultery.

And the man who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

This doctrine has been discarded in most churches today.  

The removal of doctrine from the Bible is antichrist in the churches, the apostasy, the falling away.

We must hold fast to these Bible doctrines in our own hearts and live in the truth from God and not in a lie.

I Corinthians 7:10-11    And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Matthew 19:9   Jesus says: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Mark 10:6-9   Jesus says:   But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;  And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

11-12    And HE (Jesus) saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.  And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

At the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh.  Even if a man has sex with a prostitute, the two become one flesh.  We see this in the following scripture.

I Corinthians 6:15-16    Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.

The world has become so foolish today thinking they can have sex with multiple people without penalty. People in churches often "modernize", changing doctrine, approving divorce/remarriage, approving marriage where the man marries the divorced woman.  The concept of God causing them to become one through sexual intercourse is largely omitted from the thinking of the church.  But these scriptures show us the real doctrine of Christ.

We must reconstruct our belief based on doctrine from the Bible.

Also consider this:  Sexual sin are different from all other sins.

I Corinthians 6:18    Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

I Corinthias 6:9-11     Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

To the woman taken in adultery, Jesus said:  "Go, and sin no more."

It won't work for you to keep committing these sins.

After you have been cleansed to return to that sin is a very serious matter.

Hebrews 10:26-31    For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.


I Corinthians 7:2    to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Concerning homosexuals and lesbians:

Romans 1:26-27     For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

*****


Concerning drunkards:

Galatians 5:19-21    Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:

of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

*****

We have to line ourselves up by scripture and hold fast to scripture for the churches are explaining portions of scripture away and all manner of sins are approved today by the masses in this world.

Hold to that which God says in the Bible for that is safe for you.  Believe that which God says in the Holy Scriptures regardless of that which humans say.

These are very evil times, especially in the churches where they fall away from scripture, the apostasy of the end times.

We cannot be a part of this.
