(10/24/2019) Where Is Your Faith?

Today, reply is on the correctness of offering prayer and worship to the Father as companions with Jesus Christ as well as to the Son, who is our Redeemer and Savior. Prayer is put forth through operations of the indwelling Spirit. Being joined to GOD and being in ongoing relationship with divine fullness requires believers to contain imparted spirit substance from the makeup of GOD whereby divinity is made present at all times. Mankind acknowledging and showing reverence to Christ does not introduce conflict, confusion and dispute within the divine fullness (we also say, divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit); neither can GOD be influenced and manipulated to express competition, condemnation, denial, envy, or rejection. Going further, mankind’s companionship with Christ does not debase, defame, or diminish the Lord’s exalted and eternal name as the Lamb of GOD, the Son of the Highest, and the Word. Believers are to apprehend that inseparable aspects of divinity include faith, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood, priesthood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. It is written: John 10: 27-30, King James Version (KJV): 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. The fighter in “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and Spirituality using the ID “anony” (Level 2 with 262 points, a member since December 20, 2015) posted the following:

Christians: If supposedly Jesus was to visit you today and you see him pray to God, would you then pray WITH him or pray TO him?

THE GOLDEN ARROW: Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (John 20: 29, KJV)

THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Understanding Oneness Without Sameness (08/27/2019); On Seeing The Father (12/04/2018); GOD Has Come Down (10/09/2018); When Speaking Of Christlikeness (06/25/2018); Seeing Jesus While Alive? (02/05/2016); Miracles and Visitations? (03/03/2014); All Lying Forbidden? (03/04/2014)

“anony”, whether and how one might pray rather than worship will depend on an answer to “Where is your faith?” Here are some points to consider:

1. Many Christian believers understand prayer as a practice for communicating with divinity where the separation from divine fullness by the conditions of mortality, the flesh, and the frameworks of time and space are transcended through ones own endowment of spirit substance imparted from the makeup of GOD.
2. Where active presence and divine fullness are embodied and Incarnate (we say, appearing; manifest using flesh and blood), communication, exchange, and interaction may proceed as accord, acknowledgment of each others personhood, dialog, and listening.
3. Shared prayer is to express agreement, commitment, confession, contrition, offering/sacrifice (the calves of our lips), petition, eternal purpose, surrender, and understanding.
4. Shared worship is to express awe, faith, gratitude, humility, love, oneness without sameness, praise, respect, and reverence.

There is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, a selection from the music ministry of John Michael Talbot 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAy08-WkeqU.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
