Worship: Prayer Notes 6/22
John 4:24
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
Question:
How do I worship you; what am I to do that would constitute worship?
Answer:
Remember to walk daily with the Lord in Spirit!
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
KEY PHRASE: "AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS!"
Romans 8:14
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
> It is important to NOTE that only with our Spirit Man can we truly Worship God; because our Carnal self is the antithesis/the opposite of Worship towards God!
> Here is what our scripture informs:
Romans 8:6-8
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity/hostile against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."
KEY PHRASES:
"For the carnal mind is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be!"
And
"They that are in the Flesh cannot please God!"
> Let's examine by the following passage where we stand:
Romans 8:5
"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."
NOTE:
recognizing our personal need for repentance is crucial upon the point of self examination.
Jesus Christ who saves us from our sin; not only did so by becoming a sacrifice for our sin; but he does it by leading us away from our sinful flesh and practices by his Holy Spirit given unto us!
2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

The weight loss journey has been a difficult journey for me. How to stay persistent in a healthy lifestyle; a lifestyle that involves regular physical activity when you're overweight, overworked, and in over demand, has been difficult for me to maintain. I have a cousin by the name of Will Johnson who is a fitness trainer; who has his own fitness facility in Redding, CA, which is his personal fitness training boot camp. He has been an inspiration and encouragement to me through the photos & videos he post. He's also inspired me to employ for myself the same fitness inviornment he's created for others, and I sought out a similar fitness camp to join in my state. I was successful in finding what I was looking for, but what is amazing is that I found so much more.
For two years I've been successful on my on in loosing weight; but this year I have people in my corner who will work with me, and encourage me to KEEP the weight off and not look back.
Thank you cousin Will & my FB Fam for your support-- I'm already gettin it-- stay tuned!
Also shout-out Rod Clegg & Tee Mac who have been a personal encouragement to me on this journey! Ol' boi--

BEWARE of the Hebrew Roots Deception: here's an excerpt article putting things in right perspective for the CHRISTIAN: by Geri Ungurean, an ethnic Jew who came to Christ in 1983.
"As opposed to what the Hebrew Roots movement claims, the New Testament teachings of the Apostle Paul are perfectly clear and self-explanatory. Colossians 2:16,17 says, “Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day – things which are a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.” Romans 14:5 states, “One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.” Scripture clearly indicates that these issues are a matter of personal choice. These verses and many others give clear evidence that the Mosaic Covenant laws and ordinances have ended. Continuing to teach that the Old Covenant is still in effect in spite of what the New Testament teaches, or twisting the New Testament to agree with the Hebrew Roots beliefs, is false teaching.
There are aspects of the Hebrew Roots teachings that certainly can be beneficial. Seeking to explore the Jewish culture and perspective, within which most of the Bible was written, opens and enriches our understanding of the Scriptures, adding insight and depth to many of the passages, parables and idioms. There is nothing wrong with Gentiles and Jews joining together in celebrating the feasts and enjoying a Messianic style of worship. Taking part in these events and learning the way in which the Jews understood the teachings of our Lord can be a tool, giving us greater effectiveness in reaching the unbelieving Jew with the gospel. It is good for Gentiles, in the body of the Messiah, to identify in our fellowship with Israel. However, to identify with Israel is different from identifying “as” Israel.
Gentile believers are not grafted into the Judaism of the Mosaic Covenant; they are grafted into the seed and faith of Abraham, which preceded the Law and Jewish customs. They are fellow citizens with the saints (Ephesians 2:19), but they are not Jews. Paul explains this clearly when he tells those who were circumcised (the Jews) “not to seek to be uncircumcised” and those who were uncircumcised (the Gentiles) “not to become circumcised” (1 Corinthians 7:18). There is no need for either group to feel they must become what they are not. Instead, God has made Jews and Gentiles into “one new man” in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:15). This “new man” is referring to the Church, the body of Christ, which is made up of neither Jew nor Gentile (Galatians 3:27-29). It’s important for Jews and Gentiles to remain authentic in their own identity. In this way a clear picture of the unity of the body of Christ can be seen as Jews and Gentiles are united by one Lord, one faith, one baptism. If Gentiles are grafted into Israel, becoming Jews, the purpose and picture of both Jew and Gentile, coming together as one new man, is lost. God never intended Gentiles to become one in Israel, but one in Christ."
