Title: Observance of set forms in public worship     
 
 
 
 
 
 













For I long to See you, that I may impart unto you some Spiritual Gift, to the end you may be established; - Rom 1:11
Our desire ought to be to Edify one another.   

For we Know that the Law is Spiritual: but I am Carnal, sold under Sin .    - Rom 7:14
The Law reflects the Righteousness of God and attempts to reveal the Spiritual qualities of God .     But fallen man is born in Bondage to Sin through the Sin Nature that is transfered from father to son over all generations.     So Saul, as are we all, was sold through Adam's Sin to live in it and Die in it.   

For to be carnally minded is Death; but to be Spiritually minded is Life and Peace .    - Rom 8:6
Spiritually minded is thinking, meditating, talking and acting from the Word by the Holy Spirit .     

Carnally minded is the opposite, It is disconnected from the Word and the Holy Spirit .     It is of the Flesh .   

It has pleased them truly; and their debtors they are.     For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their Spiritual things, their duty is also to Minister unto them in Carnal things.    - Rom 15:27
We share both Spiritual and Physical Blessings with our Brothers.   

Which things also we Speak, not in the Words which man's Wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches; comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual .    - 1Co 2:13

But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are Foolishness unto him: neither can he Know them, because they are Spiritually discerned.    - 1Co 2:14
Rationalizing blocks the flow of Spiritual Truth and Power .     We must Understand and accept that God is Spirit - that He communicates Spiritually and that He operates Spiritually .     This is why Faith is absolutely necessary to please God .   

But he that is Spiritual judges all things, yet he Himself is judged of no man.    - 1Co 2:15

And I, brothers, could not Speak unto you as unto Spiritual, but as unto Carnal, even as unto babes in Christ .    - 1Co 3:1

If we have sown unto you Spiritual things, is it a Great thing if we shall Reap your Carnal things?    - 1Co 9:11

And did all eat the same Spiritual Meat; - 1Co 10:3

And did all drink the same Spiritual drink: for they drank of that Spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ .    - 1Co 10:4

Now concerning Spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you Ignorant .    - 1Co 12:1
There is a lot of Ignorance and misconceptions regarding the Holy Spirit and Spirit Gifts .     

Jesus is the embodiment of the Holy Spirit .     He always flowed naturally in the Holy Spirit .     In so doing He said and did things that were Supernatural .     

The secret to understanding the Holy Spirit and Spirit Gifts is that we enter into a partnership, a symbiotic Relationship with Him.   

Follow after Love, and Desire Spiritual gifts, but rather that you may Prophesy .    - 1Co 14:1

Even so you, forasmuch as you are Zealous of Spiritual gifts, Seek that you may excel to the Edifying of the Church .    - 1Co 14:12

If any man Think Himself to be a Prophet, or Spiritual, let him Acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the Commandments of the Lord .    - 1Co 14:37

It is sown a natural Body; it is raised a Spiritual Body .     There is a natural Body, and there is a Spiritual Body .    - 1Co 15:44
The major difference is that we will have Spiritual bodies - no more natural.   

Howbeit that was not first which is Spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is Spiritual .    - 1Co 15:46
Fundamentally different - from Natural to Spiritual .   

Brothers, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you which are Spiritual, Restore such an one in the Spirit of Meekness; considering yourself, lest you also be Tempted .    - Gal 6:1
We are to Edify in all things.     Castigating the Weak is not of God .   

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has Blessed us with all Spiritual Blessings in Heavenly Places in Christ: - Eph 1:3
When we realize the extent of God's Blessings upon us we cannot help but Worship God .     

God has blessed us with Spiritual Blessings which contain all Physical Blessings and much more.     

These Blessings are in Heaven, in the Spirit Realm, on the table that Christ has spread for us.     

Faith in Christ's Provision enables us to take from that table the Blessing that we need for the hour.     

Grace Provides, Faith Appropriates .   

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, singing and making melody in your Heart to the Lord; - Eph 5:19
Worship in Spirit and Truth by quoting Scripture, by singing Spiritual Songs .     When we make melody in our Hearts we stir up the Gift that is in us - the Holy Spirit .     When we do that the Gifts of the Spirit will operate and we are all edified.   

For we Wrestle not against Flesh and Blood, but against Principalities, against powers, against the Rulers of the Darkness of this World, against Spiritual Wickedness in high places.    - Eph 6:12
Flesh and Blood is needed to impact the people of Earth in the Physical Realm .     That is why God made Himself a Body and we called Him Jesus whose purpose was to Redeem us from our Lost state.     Likewise, Satan uses Flesh and Blood people to do his work in the Earth .     

Spiritual Wickedness is the foundation for the attacks against our Faith and our Work for the Kingdom Of God .     That Spiritual Wickedness comes from Satan through His Deception of mankind.      Darkness is where Satan rules, using his powers of persuasion to convince men to turn away from God .     When a person rejects Christ they become a Child Of Satan and unknowlingly or willingly become his instrument to Steal, Kill and Destroy .   

For this cause we also, since the day we Heard it, do not cease to Pray for you, and to Desire that you Might be Filled with the Knowledge of his Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual Understanding; - Col 1:9
Spiritual Understanding comes by Revelation of the Word by the Holy Spirit .     We are to be Filled with this Knowledge which clarifies the Will of God in Wisdom .     We ought to Pray for all Christians to attain this level of connection with God .   

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all Wisdom; Teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, singing with Grace in your Hearts to the Lord .    - Col 3:16
We must willfully and purposefully allow the Word to Transform our Minds and Hearts so that we walk in Wisdom and Joy, worshipping God because of the Grace that has been imparted to us.   

You also, as lively stones, are built up a Spiritual house, an Holy Priesthood, to offer up Spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ .    - 1Pe 2:5
We are to be stumblingstones ourselves, quickened by the Holy Spirit always ready to share the Testimony of Christ Jesus with everyone.     Our Testimony is a Spiritual Sacrifice that pleaes the Lord .   

And their Dead bodies shall Lie in the street of the Great city, which Spiritually is Called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was Crucified .    - Rev 11:8
