We are to worship Him in spirit and truth. <br /><br />I am really pressed by God that this is what He wants, all ages and all denominations of Christianity to gather together under Jesus Christ and worship Him with one voice in the way He created us to worship, some people painting, dancing and singing all glory to Him. <br /><br />Love is the key that unlocks the flood gates of heaven into the broken hearted. <br /><br />Blessings,<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610002747555867142.post-65414541804193032932011-05-03T06:09:42.067-07:002011-05-03T06:09:42.067-07:00Hi Child of God -

It is vitally important that we represent Him with love extended to others.<br /><br />Also, I love this that you expressed, "We need to take the gifts and passions that God has given each generation and combine them together in one voice glorifying and honouring God; seeking His face in humility and repentance."<br /><br />Our Lord desires that we worship Him in ALL of our ways. He delights when we worship Him. His Holy Bible commands that we be holy as He is holy. He rewards those who diligently seek Him.<br /><br />John 4:23 - KJV<br />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.lioneaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10257690196451550476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610002747555867142.post-7631994591154745692011-04-28T09:59:24.918-07:002011-04-28T09:59:24.918-07:00Hi Sara,

I attend a very conservative church and the...Hi Ma,<br />I attend a very conservative church and the better half of the people are very old school and believe a certain way. I do believe John was overenthusiastic with the joy of the Lord and Thomas really wanted to counter that with remorse. Sad, for I believe that both ends of the generations need to mix what God has given them so things are balanced out. The older generation, in our church, have in the past really squashed the enthusiasm of the youth to the point where they just left the church and went else where. <br /><br />Hi Kimberly,<br />Yes, Sandra would say Lion time!! Haha! God is everything and I agree that we all need to take what He has given us and put it together and work as one body. Could you imagine all that would be accomplished if we worked this way? It would be amazing!<br /><br />Hi Katy,<br />I know it is kind of crazy but that is how Satan divides the body of Christ. <br /><br />God is bringing about a world wide awakening and Satan cannot stop even though he does try. Prayer is the key in stopping these attacks for Philippians 4:6-7<br /><i>Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.</i><br /><br />Blessings sisters and thank you for the comments.<br /><><child of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635805396738062444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610002747555867142.post-4859985726046801642011-04-28T06:49:08.828-07:002011-04-28T06:49:08.828-07:00I can not believe somebody would be upset that ano...I can not believe somebody would be upset that another individual was happy just because they knew of Jesus' love!

Very insightful post, Child of God! I think if you polled the Church, and asked that question,"who is God and what does He want", you would get all kinds of different answers, and I think they would all be right. God is like the diamond I love so much...many faceted. We need every part of Him, and I do not believe any human has every part of Him. This is why we need one another. I think the division and strife come when we in our arrogance think that individually, generationally, or even our particular denomination, has the "fullness" of God and/or the knowledge of God, and I've just come to the conclusion that that is not possible. When we all put our facets together, we shine as the diamond of the Body of Christ! :) Instead, we all want to hold on to our little "corner" of God and be satisfied, when we can learn so much from one another.<br /><br />Anyway, those are my thoughts. Once again I love your post and I love the Scriptures you mentioned. The one about "godly sorrow" is definitely something to meditate on, isn't it?! "Godly sorrow leads to repentance, but worldly sorrow leads to death."

I find it a bit odd that Thomas suggested that he wasn't saved.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380432930727921469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610002747555867142.post-44220999878527120432011-04-27T21:33:25.052-07:002011-04-27T21:33:25.052-07:00Hi Queen E,
