God is Spirit...I AM

“God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship (HIM) in spirit and in truth." John 4:24

I ask you, "What does this scripture really mean?"
To me it means that God is infinite, and we know He is. It means that He is Truth, and we know He is. If I am His follower, one that believes in Him as my Lord and Savior, and I do, then I must believe that "He Is". I must worship Him as "He Is". And I must Proclaim that "He Is".

God said to Moses, "I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "

God told Moses and He tells us who He Is, over and over in his Word.

He said in His Word:

I Am the Lord who brought you out of...
I Am your shield...
I Am the God of your Father Abraham...
I Am who I AM...
I Am the Lord Your God...
I Am He who will sustain you...
I Am He, there is none besides Me...
I Am the First, I Am the Last...
I Am the Lord your God who teaches you...
I Am the Sovereign Lord...
I Am with you...
I Am coming...
I Am gentle and humble in heart...
I Am the Christ...
I Am the Son of God...
I Am willing...be clean...
I Am well pleased...
I Am ready (before His death)...
I Am...
I Am The Bread of Life...
I Am from Him Who has sent Me
I Am from above...
I Am the Light of the World...
I Am the Gate for the Sheep...
I Am the Good Shepherd (who laid down His life for you)...
I Am the way, the Truth, and the Life...
I Am in the Father and the Father is in Me...
I Am the True Vine...
I Am the King...
I Am in you...
I Am sending you...
I Am Coming Again...!!!


Matthew 28:19-20 (New International Version)

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
So how do we worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, I ask?

Believe that He is who He is, sent by God Himself.We acknowledge Him and that Heis Spirit lives in us, and then we GO to the ends of the earth and spread the Good News of what He has done and that He is coming again!

He's not finished with me yet

Every day I get excited when I find yet another thing that God is working on in me. Maybe it's my temper-that needs to be lowered a degree or two, maybe it's my lack of trust in Him evidenced through worry and fear-that needs to be raised a bit, maybe it's my overall disposition of being dis-content with where I am at this stage of my life-(now that is a greater task)that needs readjusting, or any of the many other faults I bear. Two things I am certain of is this, I cannot change these things on my own, and He is faithful!
I didn't acquire these misdemeanors overnight. Circumstances and time enveloped them into my being. So then why do I expect so much of myself? His word tells me that HE is ABLE to complete that which He has begun in me. He looks at me and sees the completed project, I see me in the now. What a reassurance: He's not finished with me yet!
Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ"

Nothing is Hidden from the Face of God!

"But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known." Luke 12:2
Wow, it's been a long time since I'd written a post on here; I almost feel lost. While reading Scripture today I came across this one and I must say immediately when my eyes read this passage I ran to my computer! I know without a doubt God is speaking today!
Have you ever done something in secret? Have you ever felt like no one was watching and that just this one time really won't matter? Have you ever said these often spoken words, "no one will ever know"?
Well, unfortunately, I have and all too often! And every time, inevitably the truth became known. And every time, consequences had to be paid!
Rest assured, nothing you have done in your past is unforgivable, at least not in God's eyes. He already knows you did it so why not admit it? Look to your Maker and admit your faults, ask His forgiveness, wholeheartedly; and then accept His Grace. He loves you just the way you are. His desire is that you become the person He wants you to be. But remember, it's not what you do in order to become that person, it's because of what He did that gives you that privilege! And I do mean privilege! Being all that He wants you to be and less of what you want to be is an Amazing accomplishment. Doing what He instills in you to do rather than what you desire is all the more admirable. We all fail, we all make mistakes but thank God for Jesus, because of his sacrifice we are forgiven. Let's talk!
