God exist in a supernatural existence beyond time and space. To experience God in his majesty, we must enter into the realm of the Spirit of God - the realm of the eternal Spirit of God. Jesus is the one who opens the gates of Heaven allowing us to experience God in the Spirit. If the object of our Christian worship is God, we must enter into his presence while breaking away from the physical body. This is what every church service must strive to achieve during worship. Some preachers think the main part of the service is the sermon. This is an error. Everything we do during service must lead worshippers to enter the presence of God. The main and most difficult part of the service is to take the entire congregation into a spiritual worship before God. This is the critical key to true worship. The uniqueness of Christians experiencing God through Jesus is the most envious relationship other religions do not have. Many earthly religions are trying to reach God through their own efforts. They want to connect through human spirit without the vehicle of grace. They enter the realm of the spirit, but they never quite connect to God. Instead, they connect human spirit into an empty spiritual realm while floating in the universe. They are like spirits just wandering in the spirit universe. In Christianity, God descended from his sanctuary in Heaven to dwell among men. The communion between man and God was made possible by Jesus whose Spirit carries man’s spirit to the presence of God with the Holy Spirit as the vehicle. If you do not believe in entering the spirit realm of God, regardless to your denominations, you will never be able to enter the spirit realm of God. Some good Christians from well meaning churches already dismissed the possibility of entering the spirit realm of God. Consequently, they are unable to enter this supernatural realm and the experience is alien to them. The first thing Jesus demonstrated to his disciples is the perception of the invisible world of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "Most assuredly I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the son of man" (St. John 1:51). That portal of Heaven Jesus was talking about opened to the disciples on the day of Pentecost. The same is true for everybody who received the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Many of our Sunday worship services remain in the flesh and very short of reaching God in the Spirit because we spend more time in the flesh trying to reach God in the Spirit. Jesus said, "God is a spirit, those who worship him must worship him in Spirit and in truth" (St. John 4:24). Human perception of God do not define God like some Christian denominations wants to explain God by human knowledge. Sadly some preachers preach from their head knowledge of God instead of being led by the Spirit of God. God is too big for human tiny knowledge to comprehend. God’s wisdom has to be revealed to us through the Spirit realm by the Holy Spirit. Every Sunday worship must be design to connect with God in the Spirit, and less of performance. Our theatrical performance can help to ignite human emotions which in turn can connect to human spirit. The human spirit can then connect to the Holy Spirit. It is much easier, if the object of worship is designed to put human emotions aside and to connect directly to God’s Spirit through Jesus. We can achieve this through meditation on the word of God with Jesus taking us to the presence of God.
We experience a lot of pain in the physical realm. Once we enter the realm of the Spirit of God, through Jesus, the physical and emotional pains are left behind to embrace the majesty of God. The time of communion with God is also a time of healing for both physical and emotional wounds. We need to set a time aside to spend quality time with God alone. God shows man the most powerful love even humans

Pretty much everybody has experienced that time in their life when something unexpected happens. Something so unexpected, that it's almost unexplainable, and well, most people like to believe that that even fate. If you asked me, fate is not something that is black and white. I like to think of it more as a grey area, with a very thin wall between fate and a coincidence. That's what makes fate so complex, how does one tell the difference from what is meant to be from something that just…

Samantha Stearns English 10-1 March 5th 2013 Mrs. Butler The Unexpected Finding I believe in the inevitable. The unexpected joys and problems in day to day life. I strive to find peace with everything that happens to me. Even if something doesn't go to plan as I thought it would I try to think that everything happens for a reason. As George Bernard Shaw once said, “If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happened, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience?” I found…
The Evangelical Presbyterian Church is convinced that the Bible strongly affirms the dignity and value of every human life based on what the Scriptures clearly teach: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:15 NIV) “My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.” (Psalm 139:15 NIV) “Listen to me, you islands; hear…

Eastern and Western Philosophers Comparison Whether we know it or not, philosophy is major part of everyone’s life. Even those who know nothing of the history of philosophy have, in a way, created their own philosophies to live by. In my opinion, we all unknowingly challenge truths, knowledge, principles of being, and morals on a daily basis. Eastern and Western philosophy has been around for a long time, and there will always be a constant analysis of the true meaning behind every philosopher’s…

The way that the artist chose to portray the Disney characters as evil and murderous is something that is completely unexpected and mind bending for the public, which is why the works get so much international attention and notoriety. Although the artwork is displayed in public, it is not publicly funded, but created and displayed through the artists’ own funds. Personally…
