DUST

DUST I decided to clean my house . Even more tired and wanting to enjoy the Sabbath is to rest ... But duty called me ! And THAT , duty ! ... Rs Days without sweeping and dusting Nor will I explain the whys - think what they want ... Finally got to the age where they do not give more importance to the opinion of others ... But working out 10 hours a day and be a pastor and writer in the early morning is not easy ... As my mother would say : " No one pays my bills ... " Well anyway , the reason text is provided to DUST . Where did she come from? As it enters the house with the windows and doors closed ? ( Like say Sergio Chapelin ) For where she goes I know . Two options . Top three : 1 - My nose , starting now known allergic rhinitis 2 - My lungs , poking the old asthma. 3 - The garbage when I have the grace of God and the weather to clear . I choose the third option and you ? Dust ... Invisible to our eyes most of the time. Uncomfortable , unfair , illegal for our health , annoying, subtle , opportunistic , sadistic and everything. When it accumulates prevents us from seeing the glow of the golden translucency of the glass , the nuances of wood, things as they really are ... So then you might be thinking ... Okay . I know all about dust or almost all, because this text is far from a scientific monograph on " pulvis esquisitus trabalhandus " which is the " scientific name " of that which ... lol Calm down, I go back to the text ... Remember that besides the dust anxiety also hurt the health ... rs Well , seeing this inglorious work every day having to sweep , or better , vacuuming , wet mop and dusting in addition to give a sparkle in mobile ... dust , spent conjecture about sin and temptation . No, do not laugh . It is much like yes . The temptations are stalking us day and night. Are invisible , have greater or lesser degree but do the same damage in us and in the eyes of God . Sin is like the dust that accumulates in our soul . The enemy is subtle , quiet ( the famous cotton slipper - remember? ) And has more than 2000 years and the man who knows where he can launch his " dust " and make it accumulate in each of us . Knows our weaknesses and attack mercilessly and themselves. If we let the dust Satanic ( sin ) accumulate in our soul , then we lose the brightness of the Faith translucides a clear conscience , the beauty of open smile and lots more ... mainly peace of mind ! The accumulated dust of sin becomes a nest of " mites " called demons . That suck our energies give us breathlessness , let us get to the point of confusion and despair . Interesting that in the Garden of Eden where everything began , God created Adam from dust and after the fall God told the devil crawl and eat the dust of the earth : " Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all the beast , and more than all the beasts of the field upon thy belly shalt thou , and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life . " - Genesis 3:14 That is, the devil feeds on man's sins . On the other hand , looking at the object point full of dust , this "object " dusty eventually can no longer " see " the one who takes care of him , just because he could not feel her love and begin to believe the lie of the devil himself Lord forgot to stay in a dusty corner ... It was not God who forgot , even though he was not cared for every day . For alluding a new manna for each day (Exodus 16 ) every day we must feed on the Word of God and pray and grow spiritually discern quickly when we sin and we fix one redeeming immediately communion with the Lord . For after the cross of Calvary we are not alone , " God knows that we are dust . " - Psalm 103:14 and " ... And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father , Jesus Christ the righteous . " - 1 John 2:1 So , God bless you and I going to get my broom ... I will not fly, of course! rs ... because I am redeemed and washed in the blood of JESUS ​​! In JESUS , that talk to me up in the middle of a cleaning ( Caio Fábio paraphrasing ) ... Tania Guahyba Someday 2013.

EXTENDED TIME

There are roughly 40 years old, my sister at the time was engaged to a boy (with whom he later married), whose sister was nuclear physics (family super intelligent and cultured) in the United States and later in Brazil. I remember well that even then, she and her husband, also a nuclear physicist, said that the earth was coming off its axis "n" millimeters per "n" time (sorry, I do not remember the values ​​- meaning recorded), which meant that the time was decreasing gradually ... After this, many earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes erupting, solar storms, nuclear tests, missile wars and its falling on the ground, shaking the ground structure is increasingly ... and I got older ... rs. Opens parentheses. The other day I walked into a library (feeling the "Nemo" was when Ocean) and began to see the books ... "This've read, I've read this, this also ... Gosh! How many books I've read, outside those'm not seeing!? "I started meditating in old age (I'm still not) and the wealth of information and wisdom that books give us (Thanks, Mom, for passing me this addiction, I mean , love of books) ... What for, if no one listens anymore? Each toward his own experience to transform into "wisdom" ... Since intelligence is to learn from their mistakes and wisdom is learning from the mistakes of others - for books that ... It was then that I decided to write back on my Blog, and read someone who knows and likes change and grow, or critique that I grow more?! Closes parentheses. Returning to the theme! These memories make me wonder what is happening with the weather today ... When we look at the clock is already noon when scared is already midnight ... And we did not plan or HALF of what we needed ... And today we have super-fast cars, muuuuitos bus, subway, taxi (luxury when I was little) machines: washing, drying, ironing steam. We have microwave, employed (some), gardeners, cooks, housekeepers, walkways (some other). Internet does not need to go to the supermarket or the post office, not the banks, not ... No, the day has twenty-four hours! But yes, the clock continues to set hour by hour ... This is a mystery that only God could do as Jesus said he would do: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." - Matthew 24:22 Generally what scientists discover, or GOD WHO MADE. Jesus spoke this phrase for over 2000 years. There are 40 discovered about the axis of the earth moving and other "cocitas bad." I wonder scientists: "Oh! Look what I found! "Paleontologists:" Looks like they were! "Biologists (tribute to my daughter biologist):" Behold a new body! "Like children on a playground or pool sand ... and God up there (or even on their side) saying "peekaboo Rs ... I went to whoever did! Jokes aside, the man is a taxi ... Okay what you think (sorry, could not resist ... lol). The man thinks he knows everything and knows everything, and in some cases even dares to challenge God, or even say that He does not exist. Every man should be more humble. Just remember that EVERYTHING he knows, or learned from someone or read in some book. Even the great ancient thinkers, their ideas (GOOD) came not from himself, his thoughts or ruminations, but came from God who always wanted his children to grow and make others grow as well. Returning to the theme, again, God made man an instruction manual. The Bible. In it we are shown God's plan for man before the fall, and the new plans for God after the fall. It is presented to us as Jesus ONLY savior of mankind. But also God's justice for those who "do not enter through the door strict and not let others enter." God is good? Sure, yeah, no doubt. Among the many proofs of love, most of them were let His only Son to die for humanity so dehumanized by sin, that He extended the time of judgment (and all its pains and horrors) so that those who are in doubt, those deceived, those who are blinded by the limelight, STILL have time to repent, change and commitment. This text, which I believe is already two years ago in the head (today's delivery, rs). The image that the Holy Spirit gave me was "Extended Time" as the toys of "arcade" where you get a bit more time to maybe win the whole game. Not that God is playing with us already notice atheists on duty! But it was a metaphor of the text that he wanted me to write. EXTENDED TIME! For me, after the death and resurrection of Jesus is one of the greatest proofs of love ("and" patience) of God for us mortals. Soli Deo Gloria Tania Guahyba

DELIGHT YOURSELF

November 6 "Delight thyself also in the LORD, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalm 37:4 KJV) The fact that we have our delight in God has a transforming power, and raises man above the low desires of our fallen nature. The delight in Jehovah is not only sweet in itself, but sweetens so our whole soul, till the longings of the heart become pure as the Lord safely can promise to fulfill them. This is not the great delight that shapes our desires to become similar to God's desires? On our way to carry insensate desire first, and soon put us to work to get what we want. Such conduct does not conform to God's will, which is to seek Him first and then expect us all things being added. If our hearts are full of God who overflows with delight, then the Lord will see that we lack nothing. Instead of going in search of happiness outside, we stay at home with God and drink the water from our own source. He can do much more for us than all our friends. It is better to content ourselves with only God than entristecermo us want the trifles of this world. For a moment we can have disappointments, but if they take us closer to the Lord, should be of great esteem, because in the end, we ensure the fulfillment of all our good wishes.

Dressing For A Broken Heart

"Today, I woke up feeling
a big pain in the chest ";
I sat at the foot of the bed,
I put my hand on my chest,
and asked my heart:

- What do you have?
Why are you so restless within me?
Are you sick?
I was a few minutes in silence
and there was my soul
starting to get restless ...
I asked her ...

- What do you have?
Because he torments himself inside me?
My soul said:
- I am so why are you so;
You make me questions,
but I have no answers
and I know it makes you miserable ...
You feel so small,
and it makes me too small ...
You wanted to be different
and I'm sad for you ...

You're so alone, and I feel without you ...
Again I again remain silent ...
And that's where my heart
I replied a bit confused:

- I'm so sad ...
I feel so small ...
I hurt with you!

I was embarrassed and asked:

- What have I done?

He replied:
You suffer so much with people;
cares about them, is attentive,
tries to be helpful and
most of the time, always disappoint ...

Do you love and then suffers
and says that it's my fault ...
You wait for something that does not come
and sad ...
Then you cry and it hurts me ...
I need healing
for a broken heart ...
Dressings good.

I asked my heart:

- As well, good?

He replied:

Dressing to stem
that his sadness, that her grief,
that his loneliness ...
What are you on cold days
and the empty nights,
days storm
and at times you feel so alone ...
They are so large
that may involve your body
in a hug full of tenderness
and you feel safe and secure ...

Dressings that make you feel
how much you are special and loved,
even if you never make sense
that love, not of their own parents ...

I need good healing,
that are not eternal,
After all nothing is forever,
but which are not disposable ...

Dressings that absorb
this suffering, this pain ...
This wound is not seen,
just feels ...

Be strong, and waterproof,
so as not to spoil
with her tears,
that are soft,
in order to make you love
on days when you feel needy ..
Dressings that above all
never disappoint,
promising things that do not meet ...

Dressings and sincere companions,
who care you really ...
I do not want pity, I love ...
True love.
You also need love and promise
he will seek to take better care of myself,
I'm part of you and if you suffer
I suffer too ...

I wish I could put you inside me,
dry your tears, you lullabies ...
Tell you that everything will go
protect you and the disappointments of his life,
after you have suffered so much that
do not know how I can still hit hard
on his chest!

You are special ...
Sorry ...
Nobody realize it!

A moment's reflection

"The Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to someone who is not."
Charles H. Spurgeon

"Seek the Lord while he may be found, Call upon Him while He is near." - Isaiah 55:6

"Seek the Lord while he may be found, Call upon Him while He is near." - Isaiah 55:6
In these early days of 2012 a verse has "hammered" in my head.
When this happens, I'm sure God wants me to say something, and that more still must share with others (those who want to know) what he wants to teach us.
Much has been said about this year has begun and that "by the turn of events" will move faster than the previous ones (I advise not to keep - those who did - their Christmas decorations ... lol ..) So far has been said about forecasts through 2012, Hollywood movies, the Mayan prophecies, Nostradamus, etc.. and such that the world will end now ...
I see that I am an observer of the most varied reactions from the panic "swallowed" and somatization and hypochondria, to the attitude of: "Oh ... nothing to do! "And many LOL!"
Be one way or another, Jesus some 2000 years back already said (John 14:18),
That was at the door (Revelation 3:11), that many signs would precede His coming (Matt. 24:14), and that God would create new heavens and new earth (2 Peter 3:13) ...
In the case of Jesus, I have no doubt (you?) Eele never lied and that by these and other qualities of his character is that he was taken to the cross of Calvary to save us.
If He did not lie and never mind what God meant to say: as you seek can find?
Obvious!
We must be vigilant and seek the Lord all day and all day because His coming is sudden as lightning, and when no one else waiting.
As we seek God? Many modern churches are wrong when they lead the people to pursue God of Prosperity, the god of feelings, the god immediate cure, the god that follows when determining the god who has the ability to spend hours and hours listening to the same sentence , the same music, as if he were deaf or dumb and did not understand the first time, or the god of the movements, the shows of excuses to join the world and things in it, or the god who permits, everything can and nothing is sin ...
The true God is very simple, yet so grand and impossible to define human words! God created the little birds that fly and sing happy, the flowers of various hues, the stately trees, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, seas ... He created everything and saw it was good.
The man who wants to seek God must run to Him "in spirit in truth," considering all that he created and grateful heart for the little or much you have.
Time is running out. When the church is raptured to live permanently and eternity in Heaven with the Lord, men will want to seek God and will not find it, because the Holy Spirit went along with the church and the Holy Spirit was He who taught us all things that comfort us, we cheered, we gave the direction while the church was on earth.
Without the Holy Spirit on earth - this will be a place of darkness, of persecution, despair and pain. Men want to die, but not be able to ... (Revelation 9:6)
As I now pray that the Holy Spirit will continue speaking to your heart these truths I tried to tell you and you finally understand the great need for everyone to seek God while you may find the ...

BOY OR GIRL?

There are "séculus seculorum" that an obstetrician after removing a baby inside the womb of his mother during childbirth, says the famous phrase:
"It's a Boy!"
or
"It's a girl!"
Have you seen a doctor stopped, thinking, when in doubt, wondering if a baby is gay? The scene would be comical if it were not so serious a case involving the family, society, country and its image abroad, the Constitution, religiosity, juriscidade, morality, psyche of future generations, etc.. etc.. etc..
Cases of hermaphroditic (individuals of both sexes) are rare, and the probability of 1 in 2000 babies.
So what this comes from education at home, missing father / mother oppressive (or vice versa), exaltation of the media as something normal and good, without forgetting the evil one (who came to kill, steal and destroy even the morals and dignity the human being, created in the image and likeness of God).
We love homosexuals, without cliche - really, but we want ALL living beings to be saved from wrath. For those who believe not in God's own words.
We pray that you open your understanding of each other, and one day caught up with us.
Soli Deo Gloria

David Wilkerson prophesied his death in his last sermon?

"It was not an accident. There was not a failure on your part."
David Wilkerson


Believe when all resources fail extremely pleasing to God and is fully accepted by Him Jesus said to Thomas: "Because you have seen me, thou hast believed." Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed "(Jn.20: 29).

Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to his prayer. Blessed are those who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.
Someone has come to a place of despair, hope and the end of the end of every resource. A loved one faces death and the doctors do not give hope. The death seems inevitable. The hope is gone. He prayed for a miracle but this did not happen.
It is at this time when Satan's strongholds are directed to attack your mind with fear, anger and overwhelming questions like "Where is God? You prayed until there was not more tears, fasted, parmaneceu and trusted in the promises." Blasphemous thoughts take their mind: "The prayer failed, failed the faith. I will not abandon God more, but never return to trust him.'s Not worth it!" Until questions about the existence of God come to mind.
All this has been the mechanism used by Satan for centuries. Some of the most godly men and women of all time lived such demonic attacks.
For those who pass through the valley of the shadow of death, listen stamen word: The mourning will last for some dark and terrible night, but in the midst of this darkness, you suddenly hear the whisper of the Father: "I am with you. At this moment I can not say you why, but one day everything will make sense. You will see that everything was part of my plan. It was not an accident. There was a failure on your part. Hold on strong. Let them hold you in this hour of grief. "
Beloved, God has never ever failed to act with kindness and love. When all resources fail, Your love prevails. Keep your faith. Remain steadfast in His Word. There is no other hope in this world.

This devotional was published yesterday on the website of his ministry, the same day when the tragic accident occurred.


David Wilkerson died yesterday in a car accident in Texas, United States. He was driving an Infinity sedan and collided head on with a truck. According to the Department of Homeland Security that state, Wilkerson was not wearing a seatbelt. The minister's wife, Gwen Wilkerson, 70, wore a belt and survived. She was transported by helicopter to East Texas Medical Center in Jacksonville, and his condition is serious. The truck driver, Frederick Braggs, 38, was treated at the same hospital, but suffered only minor injuries.

David Wilkerson is known worldwide for his work in the evangelization of young drug addicts and marginal and also the book The Cross and the dagger, which chronicles the early years of his ministry. He is the founder of Teen Challenge, an international organization dedicated to recover the world's youth from drugs and crime.

The death of David Wilkerson, age 79, also shut one of the most powerful voices against the doctrinal deviations and behavioral aberrations that have invaded the church in recent years. He appeared to be deeply distressed about the situation and the lethargy of the people of God before the advance of these fads, charging an attitude of Christians. He said: "We cling to our religious rhetoric and talk about revival, but we become so passive! The passion born of anguish. All true passion for Christ is a baptism of anguish. " May your death not be a reason to forget his words.

I praise God for life and ministry of Brother David I "met" 24 years ago through the book "The Cross and Dagger" and "Run, Nick, run 'and then the movies. During all these years whenever I needed some "meat" in this world of empty words, I always used to read his sermons and cried along with him in his preaching in Russia posted on YouTube, who posted up in mu Blog "Só a verdade verdadeira ´reviously.
I'm sure he is already enjoying the Real Presence of Jesus telling him: "Well done, thou good and faithful. About the faithful were little, on I will make thee enter into the joy of your Lord ..." (Matthew 25:21)
Given this I pray for comfort for his family, sheep, shepherds of the Times Square Church and much that I went along as their beautiful and fruitful life edified, comforted, encouraged and blessed by God.
Soli Deo Gloria!

PS>: I suggest that the text of David yesterday and consoled myself built in the early morning when I was under tremendous physical and spiritual warfare: "The ministry of assistance to others." Once again the Lord used His servant David Wilkerson to make me win. He fell over a Giant of Faith

FESTA DE PURIM

oube agora q

The Feast of Purim

"Mordechai left the king's presence, dressed in real clothes, blue and white with a large gold crown and a robe of fine linen and purple. And the city of Shushan the cheering jubilantly" (Megillat Esther 8:15)

"The Jews established and set up for them ... and for posterity, the obligation to celebrate each year, these two days ..." (Megillat Esther 10:27)

King Ahasuerus had good reason to be proud of Esther. Sue she was descended from the royal family of Saul, first king of the Jews. When he discovered that Mordechai was a descendant of this noble family and cousin of Esther, named him the successor of Haman.

The king presented Esther with the house of Haman, and Mordechai gave the royal seal that he had taken from Haman. Although Mordechai and Esther were deeply grateful to the king for his favors, and they felt safe under his protection, lost no time in reaching your true objective. The evil decree of Haman was still in force and if not repealed, the Jews would be lost.

Once again Esther interceded with the king in favor of their doomed brethren. Throwing himself down and his eyes filled with tears, begged the king to save them from the terrible fate that awaited them and cried with an anguished voice: "How could I watch the massacre of an inert my brothers?"

0 king, deeply moved, he wanted to allay her grief. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to set aside the decree in question, as had been promulgated with your order, and had the stamp of the actual ring, so a decree was irrevocable.

Finally a solution was found. A new edict was issued, warning that Haman abused the trust of the king, proclaiming decrees forged. Rather than declaring the removal of the persecution of Jews throughout Persian territory, which was the true intention of the king, Haman, the traitor, had ordered the extermination of loyal citizens. Moreover, the hanging of Haman, the king's express command, was a clear proof that disapproved of his policy.

Once again, the scribes were summoned to draw up new decrees that this time dictated by Mordechai himself. Royal messengers riding the fastest horses in the kingdom, went immediately to each of the 127 provinces of the Persian empire, which stretched from India to Ethiopia, to deliver new orders to the governors and princes.

By royal order, the Jews were allowed to gather on the 13th of Adar to defend, attack and kill all the enemies that threatened them.

The news quickly spread like lightning to the farthest corners of the empire, and everyone started to treat Jews with respect.

On the 13th of Adar, the date on which the Jews should be exterminated by Haman and his forces, they gathered in public squares in every town and village, condemned to death by order of the king, who had all shown themselves as enemies. Seventy-five thousand men, ready to attack them, were sentenced to death, five hundred more in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman.

When King broke the news to Esther and asked her if she was now satisfied.

"There are still in Shushan, numerous and formidable enemies who have not ceased their activities and must be exterminated if it is to live in peace. If the king feel right, tomorrow will be dedicated to judging, in Shushan, the last of the enemies Jews, for they are both enemies of humanity. And it must also hang the bodies-without-life of the sons of Haman. "

Esther's request was immediately attended to and, while Jews from other cities were celebrating and feasting on the 14th of Adar, the of Shushan were too busy condemning the enemies. They then entered the next day, the great day of his miraculous salvation.

Thus it was decided that the 14th of Adar was chosen as the feast of Purim, commemorating the miraculous salvation of our people and the downfall of the wicked Haman.

In respect to the Land of Israel which at that time lay in ruins, the Sages instituted in cities surrounded by walls, Purim was celebrated, as in Shushan, the 15th of Adar. This day is called Shushan Purim, the two are days of joy and gladness, and on this occasion, the Jews exchange mishloach Manot (gifts edible), and the poor receive donations.

At the same time, the Jews decided that the 13th of Adar, Purim eve, it would be a day of fasting, called the Fast of Esther "in remembrance of the prayers and fasts undertaken by people throughout the initiative of Queen Esther, the led to repentance and religious fervor, when they accepted willingly, all the commandments of the Torah.

Our sages explain that the two days of Purim will be celebrated forever, even in the messianic era, when other parties are void.

For 23 centuries, each generation of Jews celebrated every year, the festival of Purim. For the enemies of Israel, the "Hamans" of all time, this celebration is a solemn warning. For us, this wonderful festivity conveys inspiration, courage and faith and strengthens our devotion and connection to our great God merciful. She is at the same time, a precursor signal and some of our Redemption which will soon come.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Jesus said that when he came there would be signs in the heavens and on earth.
Everything has been fulfilled ... I often say that Jesus is not coming back .... HE IS COMING!
May we be prepared for this great day!

SINÉAD O'CONNOR-SONG OF JERUSALEM

You Raise Me Up!!(A Jesus slide show)

Who "watering" you every day?

Today, a beautiful sunny Saturday (Shabbat Shalom!), I went through some streets near Pampulha Lagoon (you need to know ...) and once again noticed the trees, the birds up in the capybara (Is. .. although BH to be a cosmopolitan city has capybaras loose on the edge of Lake ... rs
I noticed because I'm a hopeless romantic.
I noticed because God graced me with this sensitivity.
I noticed because it is one more reason to praise the Creator.
But how many, how many who did not notice it being there. What a shame for them ...
But also I noticed something that astonished me even more. We got 23 days in spring pp Out here there is an explosion of flowers in the trees "... But how?! It does not rain for months in BH!
Flowers in the gardens - even compreesível - the housewife watering every day (or almost all).
But in the streets? Who is watering to flourish so lush and so beautiful?
Scientists and scholars say that they (the trees) suck the aquifers ... Under layers of asphalt? Maybe so, but I prefer to think that the Creator also creates and watering and caring for each tree ...
By the way, I also saw with sadness that many of them near the
Airport are marked with an "X" sign that will soon be cut by the city for any economic investment. I felt like getting off the car and delete each of those Xis !!!!... Less air, less beauty, less birds nested and so on.
But, still, I'm sure that God our Creator and Father cares for each tree, and takes care of the birds as Jesus said.
Then we can be sure that if we indulge in body, soul and spirit to Him, also in the "watering" every day, so we can grow and bear fruit and also beautiful and fragrant flowers to brighten the lives of others. In Irrigation with LOVE, LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE AND MANY MORE THINGS.
In closing, let me share with you what a Catholic seminarian told me one day in a Hebrew class, many years ago and never forgot: "Every flower you see, It's A KISS OF GOD IN YOUR EYES"
God has kissed me too ...

PAGAN PRACTICES

One of the similarities between the Christian and the wicked is that both seek God, but in different ways.
Before the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to save the human soul, God required of men animal sacrifices to atone for sins.
Jesus, the Son of God, fulfilled the Supreme Sacrifice - the largest - with their own flesh and blood: His life, once and for all!
When we become, the world and their religious practices are left behind. We are born again spiritually! We are new creatures and we have a new life goal: to proclaim the Good News and the coming of the Kingdom of God!
But many believers find it difficult to forget the old practices learned in other religions, sects and philosophies. We have seen that even encouraged by leaders (without this theological awareness), add to biblical practices of the New Testament to ancient pagan practices, such as:
- Leave the open Bible in the car to "scare thieves"
- Leave the open Bible in Psalm 91 at home to "scare demons"
- Set behind the front door of the house a brochure on Psalm 91 (it again ... as if only this was important ...) or Psalm 23 for protection.
- Taking home objects, flowers, salt, rue soap, shampoo (sic.) anointed to absorb the "bad energy" and "attract good"
I ask: where is then the worship of the true God should be according to himself, "in spirit and in truth"?
Where is the sovereignty of God over human beings and of all things? How is the power in the name of Jesus to these people? Where the authority of the blood of Christ?
The Word of God says that our weapons are not carnal - 2Co.3-5. Our struggle is against spiritual beings: evil, cunning, liars and deceivers and knowledgeable of the Word of God.
Satan believes in God and trembles. But many believers become accustomed to the grace and abuse it ...
Our weapons are spiritual and not natural. For this the Lord gave us an armor (Ef.6 :10-18).
Neither this verse, we must make a "charm". The tendency of human beings is always idolize objects and words - so God has never allowed the body of Moses, Noah's ark and the ark of the covenant were found. Otherwise would be objects of worship for men who only believe what they see.
Not only read the Word ... is living in the Word which gives us authority. He is the man to close the gaps in your own life is to repent of their sins, take up his cross every day and recognize that God is Spirit and they that Worship Him in spirit and truth. This means: fellowship. Study the Bible in order to use it properly.
So yes, our worship of God is the way that pleases him, without superstition, without strange fire on the altar.
It is much easier and possible to make sacrifices in the flesh.
Simple ... as the Lord Jesus was and always taught us to be.
To Him all the glory!
