The True Worshippers

~~~But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship The Father In Spirit and In Truth: for The Father seeketh such to worship Him. Jhn.4:23~~~

 

As Creator, God in His sovereignty has created mankind for His own purpose. Mankind's reason for existence is tied in with the Creator's plan. There is an emptiness in those who are living apart from God's plan and purpose. Their very reason for existence is not realized. Those who are going through life apart from God's plan seek one avenue after another in order to find fulfillment, but in each path is found emptiness.

The Scripture says of Jesus, "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him" (Col. 1:16). Jesus created all things and it is "for Him" that they were created. In Jesus Christ is found the meaning of existence.

God's plan and calling

The Apostle Paul laid out the plan of God and His calling: "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" (Eph. 1:4-7).

This passage shows:

1. God is calling those He created into a personal relationship of love with Him. This is an intimate relationship where His people are called His children and God is called "Father." God reveals Himself as a God of love and a relationship with Him is to be one of love and fellowship.

2. God's plan is that His people would be "holy and without blame before Him in love." God is holy, meaning He is set apart from sin and unrighteousness. His holy character cannot allow sin in His presence without it being judged. Therefore a relationship with Him must be one where His people are also "holy and without blame." This presents a problem. The Scripture says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." There is no one who can stand before a holy God on his own righteousness. Therefore sin must be dealt with in order for a relationship with God to be possible. This also calls for repentance on the part of those who would come to God. Repentance is a willingness to turn from sin and turn to God and His righteousness.

3. This relationship is through Jesus Christ. God Himself has solved the problem of sin by becoming a man, living a sinless life, and therefore becoming the way to God. This is in the person of Jesus Christ who has become the mediator between sinful mankind and a holy God. The Scripture says, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim. 2:5). Jesus is the way to God, for Jesus is the One who has reconciled mankind with God. Therefore the Scripture says that God has "predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself." The path to God has been predetermined by God. God's people, the church, have been destined beforehand to be God's people only through Jesus Christ. Those who come to God must do so through this path to God.

4. In Jesus Christ is the forgiveness of sins. The Scripture says, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." Jesus, as Mediator, has taken away the sins of the world through His death on the cross. In this He suffered the judgment of God toward sin in the place of all sinners. Scripture says, "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Cor. 5:21). Jesus was perfect but our sins were placed upon Him and He died in our place. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and then ascended into Heaven, received by the Father into great glory. The righteousness of Christ is now accounted toward those who trust in Christ, and their sins are fully forgiven.

5. This relationship is according to His grace. A relationship to God is attained solely by His grace. This means it is not earned. The Scripture says that a restored relationship to God through Christ is "to the praise of the glory of His grace," and also, "according to the riches of His grace." God's unmerited favor is a gift to be received. The Scripture says that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 6:23). All have earned death, and abide in spiritual death, because all have sinned. But God offers eternal life as a gift to be received through Jesus Christ, according to the riches of His grace.

Receiving Christ

The Bible says of Jesus, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12). One enters into a relationship with God as His child by receiving Christ and believing upon Him. Concerning the receiving of Him Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" (Rev. 3:20).

The way to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is presented by the Apostle Paul: "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Rom. 10:9-10). Receiving Christ involves both the mouth and the heart. One must "confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus." This is to acknowledge Jesus as Lord and to place one's allegiance on Him. One must also "believe in your heart" that God has raised Him from the dead. To believe this is to believe, in one's heart, that Jesus died on the cross for one's sins and that He is risen and living. He is the living Savior, one who will come into one's life to bring spiritual life.

A prayer to receive Christ

Jesus Christ can be received by a prayer such as this:

Jesus, I acknowledge that you are the Creator and have created me for your purpose. I acknowledge that you are the Christ, the Messiah of Israel. I acknowledge that I have sinned against God, have rebelled against you, and have gone my own way. I now turn my life over to you and ask that you be my Lord and my Savior. Forgive me of my sins and give me eternal life in you, even as you have promised to do for those who ask. I believe in my heart that you are the risen Lord of all. Deliver me into the Father's presence, and send the Holy Spirit to live in me. Thank you. Amen.

What next?

Those who receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are spiritually born into God's kingdom. This is a matter of faith, but nevertheless some very real changes have occurred. Those who believe Christ from the heart can count on God to be faithful to His promises. God has promised that the believer is forgiven of all sin. God has promised that the believer has eternal life with Him. God has promised to send the Holy Spirit to indwell the believer to give him assurance, comfort, and help in living for God.

The redemptive work of Christ includes provision for those who receive Him to grow and flourish in a relationship with Him. The new believer must appropriate the resources that God has freely provided so that he can mature in the faith. As a newborn human cannot survive apart from a nurturing environment, even so the newborn believer cannot survive apart from the environment that Jesus Christ has provided.

The environment for the believer to live in, or abide in, is in Jesus Christ Himself. There are several aspects of this:

1. Abide in the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God. He is the "light of life" and through His Word, the Bible, comes the light of the knowledge of Him. This is a very important aspect in growing in a relationship with God. It is best to begin with the New Testament books of the Bible. The "Gospel of John" is a good place to start. The Holy Spirit will teach and bring understanding to God's word.

2. Abide in prayer, communion with God, and worship. Spiritually, the believer is with Christ in the heavenly places. One is delivered into God the Father's presence by being in Christ. It is here, in the spiritual dimension, that the believer is to dwell. This involves prayer with God, communion and fellowship, thankfulness and worship.

3. Abide in the Church. The Church is the body of Christ. The believer is a member of that body, and therefore the body of Christ is a vital place of growth. Seek out a church where the members believe the Bible to be the Word of God. Ask God's direction to find a church where fellowship centered on God's word is found, and where worship and praise to God is center place. As a new believer get baptized. This is Jesus' command. Baptism is the outward testimony of the believer's inward identification with the death and resurrection of Christ. It is an important aid to faith to help mark the believer's new life in Christ.

4. Abide in grace under the rule of Christ. Do not get caught up in legalism where one tries to obtain God's blessing and favor through works. Let the reverse be true. Let God through His Spirit fill one's life freely according to God's new covenant promise. The result will be good works that come naturally because of a changed heart. Look for direction from Jesus who is the loving Shepherd and Lord of one's life. Through Christ comes the grace needed to follow after God. Begin to live a life of faith and trust in Christ, for "without faith it is impossible to please Him."


Heavenly Father, I ask to come in to your presence right now, I ask you to forgive me, if I have not adequately considered the cause of Christ in my walk with you. I thank you for my own salvation and it is my desire, as it is your desire to see the people of the world come to you so they might be saved. I do realize that this is a matter of life and death and is of extreme importance. Help me day by day to remember this. Help me to think in terms of your world. From this day forward I would like to do all that I can do, for the Gospels sake and for Jesus Sake. I am asking you in advance for the hundred fold return on my giving and efforts for the Gospels sake, so that I might have more to give. Keep me in mind of this great opportunity to serve you and my fellow man. This day, I become committed to the greatest work ever. In Jesus Name. Lord Jesus, I know that you are the King and we must help those whom you have called for the Gospels sake. Please send those that you want me to help, or send me, if that be your will, tell me what your will is for me, in this building of your Temple. In Jesus name I pray.Amen

I pray that if you have prayed this prayer with me, that you will be loosed from any whale that you may have been placed in by God. I pray that your prosperity will come quickly and overtake you. I pray that you will stand in heaven on the day of judgement and be glad that you understood the heart of God and put forth the effort to please him. I pray that there will be much fruit there attributed to your account because you are numbered with the wise.

We must recognize that these attacks are brought against us by Satan using men's words that have bought a lie, to speak it forth in the earth. We must rebuke these storms in the name of Jesus, just like the Lord did on the Sea of Galilee.

Fight! We must bless those who curse us. But the weapons that are formed against us we must rebuke. If the American Christians will see and understand what I'm writing here and take diligent authority against these attacks. We will see a Change from this violent weather that comes to Steal, Kill and to Destroy.

Above all, we must support in every way possible the Gospel going forth in the earth. Kingdom business must come first. Pray and intercede for the lost. Come against those powers and principalities that hinder and obstruct the Cause of Christ, the Will of God.The Lord has put upon us a great responsibility. It would seem too great for man. But God never intended that we should do it alone. As you move towards the impossible, the Lord will meet you there and cause it to be possible.

As the people of God in the earth, empowered with the Blood and Name of Jesus, we are the First Line of Defense for the Entire World. Should we take that as a light matter? Or should we be diligent to watch soberly, understanding who we are and who the enemy is. Then taking our God given position to stop the Enemy of God and man at every opportunity.He accused them of. They were guilty, no doubt, for entertaining and yes even fighting to protect their doctrines of men and devils.

In Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. It is clear, the Lord is telling His people, that if they follow this spirit, they will be partakers of her sins and plagues.

Every Martyr of the faith was slain at the hands of men under the influence of this Religious spirit. In the Living Bible it says, Rev. 18:24 -- And she was responsible for the blood of all the martyred prophets and the saints.

We will be responsible for who and what we follow and join ourselves to. Seek apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers who are called of the Lord, not by men, or those who have presumed their own calling.

This Harlot, that is of Satan has been at work since the creation to deceive the inhabitants of the earth. It has blinded the world so that they cannot see God. This harlot has been at work in the Church of Jesus Christ from the beginning to deceive us and rob us of all that God has given us, through Christ Jesus.

He also told me that this is the time of the end. We must strive to restore God's Order, so He can move in His Glory upon the Church of Jesus Christ.

We have seen that there are false apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers that the Word of God warns us about. If you understand how this Harlot works to deceive, you will understand why this teaching cannot hold up. There are many who chose the ministry as there vocation. It is a career to them and they have no personal revelation of the Lord. They are birthed out of and educated by a system of men.

A false Apostle will teach false doctrine. So will a false Pastor.

come out of anything that is birthed from the Spirit of Mystery Babylon Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.Let's try to imagine the pain of so many, when they stand before the Lord and find that they had spent their entire lives, their tithes, their good works in what the Lord will call, of the synagogue of Satan. Suddenly, they realize that they have been lied to their entire lives. They realize that all of the Word of God was true for every generation. They were robbed and cheated even of eternal life, directly from the pit of hell disguised as Christian. Because they heeded not the revelation and warnings of the Bible, the plagues and sins of that great Harlot were unto them as well. This is not funny. This is not a light thing.

I must believe, that right now, He is imparting direction, wisdom and giving commandments to His Apostles around the world, concerning His Kingdom. This would be consistent with Acts 1:3 & 4; His being seen of them forty days giving His Apostles commandment and speaking to them of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. We realize that He was getting ready to pour out His Spirit on them and birth His Church. Now in the end times, I have heard the Spirit of God tell me to "Gather His Apostles from around the world into one place and time as has not been done since the days of Pentecost.". Those Evangelist, Prophets, and Apostles who have received fresh messages from the Lord for this time, that would begin to change the status quo are not sought out and they are persecuted by the Churches.

This Commandment from the Lord to me, to Gather His Apostles from around the world, must be taken seriously. It is to the benefit of all in the Body of Christ and the entire Kingdom of God in the Earth. It must be handled with integrity and without the influence of the traditions of men and devils.I believe, that in this time, the Lord has many who are saved and filled with His Holy Spirit, who were never indoctrinated into the Churches that perpetuate the systems of man. These men and women having heard the Truth of God's Salvation, have called upon the name of the Lord to be saved. The Lord has Saved many, Healed many, Delivered many from their destruction's and filled them with His Holy Spirit, when there was no man around. No one to take credit for them. No one, but the Lord to teach them and lead them. They believe that the Bible is the very word of God to us, because the Lord has proven it to them over and over again. These have experienced the Love of God without measure, as He delivered them from such a terrible bondage of darkness. To these, no society, no king, no threat, even of their own lives, will turn them from the Truth they know, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I have had men and women who call themselves Pastors, who have no real testimony of experience and revelation of God, try their utmost to attack to destroy my ministry. They were not successful because God's hand is on the work. I tell these things, because we need to see and understand the devices of the Devil to stop the Gospel. Suddenly, they presume this position, that all that God has done in my life all the testimony, and all the ministry, is to be thrown away, because suddenly God has made them the judge. This is a ridiculous approach. I have learned the more absurd and hideous the attacks are, the more assurance you have that Satan is trying his utmost to destroy you. Then you begin to realize; just how threatened Satan is, by the calling and visions God has given you. I have written this from my own experience, but it is multiplied many times in many ministries and lives.

When someone who calls themselves by the name of the Lord, (Christians), and go to such lengths, to destroy a ministry and yea even that minister, called of God. Whose cause is being served? Satan's cause is being served not God's. If you know how to recognize these acts, and understand that they are serious, then you will be able to recognize who is of the Synagogue of Satan.

Jesus the first Apostle sacrificed so much for His Gospel. So many, throughout Church History and even in the world today, have sacrificed so much for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you can realize this and think that God winks at attacks against His work in the earth, you have no Godly Wisdom.

Unfortunately, too many begin to perceive the Gospel, as Jesus having died just for those they approve of. They think the only activity of the Church, is just having Church and running it like a Country Club. Does this sound abominable? I believe in God's eyes it is.

Our eternal destiny depends on which spirit we are of. Do our actions serve the Kingdom of God or do they serve the Kingdom of Darkness. Men can sin in the name of Jesus; it just makes the sin more abominable.

We cannot receive all that the Lord has for us, standing on doctrines and opinions of men. We cannot move in His great power to establish systems of men and doctrines of men, because He won't give it for those purposes. We cannot be prospered by God, when we are afraid to forsake our finances, for the Gospels sake and Jesus sake.

. There is no way to win rejecting His counsel. We lose when we try to change those things that are forever settled in Heaven, the Word of God.

Consider this, from the Lord's most high point of view, we have been likened to sheep. But we are not sheep and we are not mindless. To the men of this earth you are a peculiar people (special). To every devil, you have been given authority over them; they are subject to you.

You are the redeemed of the Lord. You are the Saints of the Most High God of the End Times. You are the Citizens of the Kingdom of the Most High God. You are Soldiers of the Army of the Most High God of the End Times. You are the Children of the Most High God. And if Children, then Heirs; Heirs of God and Joint Heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. His Mission, is Your Mission. You are just to do your part, according to the leading of the Lord Jesus Christ.

You are indeed of greater value than a sparrow. Do not let any doctrine of man or any devil tell you anything different.

One night before going to sleep, I questioned the Lord about this message of Gathering His Apostles; after all, it is not a part of the Status Quo. As I laid down to go to sleep I heard him say, "This is not a time like before. It is the time of the End". Then in my spirit, it kept bubbling up. It Is the Time; It Is the Time... I arose saying, It really is the Time! Jesus really is coming soon. God Bless you and keep you all, unto His coming, where we will all behold Him and each other in His Glory. So ….

REJOICE IN THE LORD OUR SAVIOR.!!

I feel that it is imperative to be sure that it is God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

servant in bonds to the Lord Jesus Christ, to write this book,"GATHER MY APOSTLES"!

I pray that you will have the wisdom, to help in every way you can, with this Gathering of the Lord's Apostles.

I believe this book will help you, in the understanding of all the Callings of God and His Order, in His Kingdom in the Earth.

Some will be so hungry for true restoration. True restoration; will bring all of God's Blessings on every aspect of our existence. (Physical, Spiritual, Financial.)Consider this carefully, I testify to you, that the Lord God Almighty has spoken to me and told me, that this Gathering of His Apostles will unlock His Glory and the Final Move of His Spirit. This time, in the Ancient of Days which is now, literally millions of believers will be gathered in the upper room with these Apostles by Television. The Spirit of God, knows no bounds. It won't be a small upper room but a large auditorium. There will be many more, than twelve Apostles and they will be gathered, from the Nations of the Earth. Each one, having an assignment, given to them by the Lord Jesus Christ the Head of the Church. The believers who gather together with them, in the Auditorium and by means of Television, will all be filled and changed, by this Unlocking of the Lords Glory and Spirit, for the Former and Latter Rain. The Lord will anoint His Apostles with fresh new oil, to enable them to fulfill their Missions. Then, and at the same time, the Body of Christ at large.

The Lord will be able to accomplish more in the earth in a short time, than we have been able to do in many generations. And the Time is Short.

I ask you in the Name of our Lord Jesus and for the Gospels sake, to partnership with me, in this work. I look forward to hearing from you. May God Bless you and yours, with all the Blessings of His Holy Covenant, now in this time. I Love You ALL.

Your Servant in Christ Jesus the Lord,

Apostle Cary Goodwin

Remember, We are in a short window of time, where the Love, Mercy, and Grace of God, can still be manifest to the World, before all Hell breaks loose on the Earth. The Lord in His Mercy is Calling us to Order. There will be no other time like this

"However I consider my life worth nothing to me if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." Acts 24:20
