📃02 February 2025 Yeshua HaMashiach Worship Tabernacle Hands of Compassion (YHWTHOC) Sunday Message: Serving God in Spirit and Truth *Introduction* Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Today, I want to share with you a powerful message from our Lord Jesus Christ. It's a message that challenges us to examine our relationship with God and to ask ourselves: Are we serving God in spirit and truth? Are we truly seeking God with our hearts, or are we just going through the motions? As we explore this message, I want to encourage you to reflect on your own life and your own relationship with God. Ask yourself: What does it mean to serve God in spirit and truth? How can I deepen my relationship with God and truly seek Him with my heart? *The Call to Serve God in Spirit and Truth* In John 4:23-24, Jesus says, "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." Jesus is calling us to a deeper level of worship, one that is not just external but internal. One that is not just about going through the motions but about truly seeking God with our hearts. He's calling us to a relationship with God that is authentic, sincere, and true. *The Challenge of Serving God in Spirit and Truth* But serving God in spirit and truth is not easy. It requires us to be honest with ourselves and with God. It requires us to confront our sins and our weaknesses. It requires us to surrender our pride and our ego. As Jesus said, "You can not speak in tongues and be living in lies. You can not go to serve me in church when at home you're not the priest, but the beast of the house." We can not claim to be followers of Christ and still live in sin. We can not claim to love God and still hate our brothers and sisters. We must be willing to confront our own hypocrisy and to make amends. We must be willing to surrender our own desires and to seek God's will. We must be willing to humble ourselves and to acknowledge our own weaknesses. *The Power of Serving God in Spirit and Truth* But when we serve God in spirit and truth, we experience the power of God in our lives. We experience the joy of knowing that we are pleasing God. We experience the peace of knowing that we are forgiven and loved. As Jesus said, "Kill that pride and ego, and then you'll praise me in spirit and truth. Humble yourself before me, and I will lift you up." When we humble ourselves and surrender our pride, we open ourselves up to the power of God. We experience the power of forgiveness, the power of healing, and the power of transformation. We experience the joy of knowing that we are children of God and that we have a purpose and a destiny. *Conclusion* Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Let us heed the call of Jesus to serve God in spirit and truth. Let us examine our lives and our hearts, and let us surrender ourselves to God. Let us remember that serving God is not just about external actions but about internal attitudes. It's not just about going to church but about living for God every day. Let us seek to serve God in spirit and truth, and let us experience the power and the joy of knowing Him. *Prayer* Dear Heavenly Father, We come before you today, humbled and surrendered. We acknowledge our sins and our weaknesses, and we ask for your forgiveness and your mercy. Help us to serve you in spirit and truth. Help us to live for you every day and to seek your will in all that we do. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen. May God's blessings, peace, and love be upon you! May you continue to stand strong on God's word, no matter the challenges or obstacles you face. Final Blessing May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 Go in peace, dear brothers and sisters, and may God's divine qualities be your guiding light on your journey. 💥♨️YHWTHOC✊🔥
