WAKE-UP CALL 2022.12.24

by Shepherd Etma

“Time has now come to worship God in the Spirit and in Truth.”

(John 4:23)

Preface

  • “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.” (Hebrews 1:1-2)

Our ancestors thought that God is like gold or stone, an image made by human design and skill and was cleared upon the coming of Jesus, as expressed in this verse:

  • However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: “‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be? (Acts 7:48-49)

Time has come that the worshippers must worship God in the Spirit and in truth:

  • “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24)

The worshipers must worship God in TRUTH, which is the main reason of Jesus’ coming as expressed in this verse:

  • ““You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” (John 18:37)

The New Creation:

  • “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Cor. 5:17)

With the new covenant (New Testament) has made the Old Testament obsolete:

  • “By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.” (Hebrews 8:13)

We do not think Jesus came to abolish the Law or the prophets but to fulfill them:

  • “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17)

In the old ways, to be saved was by faith alone:

  • “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

In the new ways, another teaching came along that love is the greatest, as in this verse:

  • “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)

We may have faith that can mountains but without love is nothing:

  • “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:2)

The love that we are talking about is the love that Jesus made his sacrifice on the cross:

  • “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” (1 John 3:16-18)

When we love it says that we do it in truth, and this truth is the main reason of Jesus’ birth.

  • “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” (John 18:37)

In this modern age with modern science, God has spoken to us through nature. A series of miracles, wonders, and signs took place that I named as the 21st Century Divine Revelation, revealing God’s will for the modern world that began on July 2, 2004 and still continue this year of 2022.
