Bow Low Before Him Who Is Spirit- Our God.

Jesus said… If you love me, keep my commandments.

Exo 20:4-6  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 

We are to WORSHIP nothing other than GOD, NOTHING. That includes EVERYTHING other than GOD.

We are to BOW DOWN TO NOTHING other than GOD.

We are to SERVE NOTHING other than GOD.

This is a heart worship we are talking about here. We know that if we bow down in many circumstance it is not to give honor or worship to anyone, but for other reasons. If I serve you dinner I am not worshiping and honoring you as my God, I am being a servant to you as duty dictates, as GOD dictates. 

GOD FIRST in ALL WE DO.

It's not God first just on the day we worship. It's not God first only when we are in trouble. It's GOD FIRST ALWAYS!

You can rest assured that if we do not put God first always that things will go awry in one way or another.

We cannot make an image of God, He does NOT want us to make an image of Him.  Not once did God pose for a picture, or for a statue to be etched out of stone. Jesus did NOT want His image worshiped, He wanted worship in the same way as the Father. 

We are not to bow down to ANYTHING other than the presence of God in our hearts. If we fall to our knees in prayer, our face to the floor bowed as low as we can and our heart is lifted up to God, it is not us bowing to an object on earth but to the spiritual in heaven, the spiritual in us crying out to the spiritual- the Holy Spirit- UNSEEN.

Heb 11:1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

We are to have FAITH in the things NOT SEEN.

Heb 11:7  By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 

THINGS NOT SEEN - yet he prepared for those unseen things.

Heb 11:27  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 

Moses endured by SEEING him who is INVISIBLE. How do you see the invisible, through faith, through heart worship!

Rom 8:24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 

Rom 8:25  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 

We have faith in the UNSEEN and we wait with PATIENCE for what we do NOT SEE, we HOPE.

2Co 4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 

Things we see are TEMPORAL!

Things we do not see are ETERNAL!

1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

1Pe 1:8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 

1Pe 1:9  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 

WHOM WE DON'T SEE- JESUS CHRIST- YET WE LOVE.

We believe, we rejoice in the UNSEEN- through faith.

Just imagine had we a God who desired images of himself to be worshiped. We can imagine it because people all around the world are doing just that, worshiping images of their gods. Temples have been reared just to house huge images. People are considered destitute if they can't even afford a tiny image to put in their home. Seriously, there is a huge following for image worshipers something God NEVER wanted, not ever.

So important is it to our God that we do not worship images that He included it in his royal law, in His commandments.

We should in fact have NOTHING in our lives we believe more important than our relationship with God, nothing, not a single thing. This is truth. NOTHING.

God alone is to be honored, worshipped, bowed down to- our spirits bowed low before Him who is Spirit.
