Title: Intimacy requires proximity    
  
  
  
  

   

  
  
  
  


We know that the Holy Spirit is omnipresent - He fills the universe and beyond .   

We know that God is a spirit and He is holy .    Hence, the Holy Spirit is God.   

We know that Jesus is the express image of His Holy Spirit .   

We know that Jesus came for the purpose of us being filled with His Holy Spirit .   

We know that Jesus commanded His disciples to wait until they were filled with His Holy Spirit .   

We know that the Holy Spirit is for every believer .   

We are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit .   

So, since the Holy Spirit is God and we are filled with Him, then it makes sense for us to worship the God in us.   

But you may say that Jesus said to pray: "Our Father which is in heaven" .   
Heaven is the Spirit Realm.   
So, we need to understand that Jesus was telling us to pray to our spiritual Father who is the Holy Spirit.   

Since the Holy Spirit is in us and He is our Heavenly Father we only need to pray to the God within us.   

The beauty of the plan which our Lord Jesus Christ has implemented is that
    He is in us
    We are in Him
    We are one with Him
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
To fellowship with the Lord, to be One with the Lord, requires us to be Spirit Filled and to be Word transformed .     

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of our Lord Jesus .     
The Word is the Lord ( Christ Jesus).     
So, for us to please the Lord in our worship of Him, we fellowship with Him in His Holy Spirit in meditation upon His Word.

The Lord is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The Lord is the Holy Spirit.     The Holy Spirit is the Lord.     

Any Worship that does not acknowledge the Holy Spirit does not acknowledge the Lord.     Such worship is futile.     

The Word Of The Lord is Truth.     

Any Worship that does not honour the Truth does not acknowledge the Lord.     Such worship is futile.

So we see that the proper way to worship God is by
    receiving the Truth of the Gospel
    fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit in us

Think of it this way:

    If you don't believe the Holy Spirit is in you the you cannot worship in Spirit.   
    If you don't believe what the Word says about you, you cannot worship in Truth.   

It is time for us to acknowledge what Jesus has provided for us and stop reverting to pagan practices of seeing ourselves and God as somehow separated.   
That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of the essence of goodness (the Holy Spirit) which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Jesus said that there is none good but the Lord.     So, the implication of there being good things in us is by virtue of the Holy Spirit being in us.     

When we recall and speak the good things provided by the Gospel of Grace Through Faith the joy and excitement of the Holy Spirit will make our message effective.     

The Holy Spirit in us is the Spirit of Christ in us.

Speaking the Word to address the issues of life is a way of Worshipping The God Inside You.   

Praying in the Spirit is a way of Worshipping The God Inside You.
