God did not dwell in the outer court! God did not dwell in the holy place but He dwelled in the most holy place. The place where nobody could enter. The Shekinah glory of God only manifested in the most holy place. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It was sin that separated mankind from a relationship with God. God hated sin so much that we were not allowed into His holy presence in the O.T.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">But when Jesus died on the cross the veil in the temple that covered the most holy place was torn into two. Making a way for us to enter into the most holy place and once again through the blood of Jesus. That fellowship and communion that was lost in the old was restored once and for all in the new dispensation. Because of that one sacrifice that cancelled sin and that paid it all on the cross for you and me. The spirit that was dead because of sin became born again in us to reconnect us back to God in fellowship with Him once again. Thus we can worship God in spirit and in truth now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52979\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52979\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Temple-veil-torn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52979\" src=\"http:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Temple-veil-torn.jpg\" alt=\"Temple-veil-torn\" width=\"600\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Temple-veil-torn.jpg 450w, https:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Temple-veil-torn-150x82.jpg 150w, https:\/\/christianitymalaysia.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Temple-veil-torn-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ref: wordpress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">You need to understand our human body how we are created.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Man is body soul and spirit. People worshiping in the O.T were only confined to the body for example 1) they were clapping hands, 2) they were praising with their voices that is body,\u00a0 3)\u00a0 they were worshiping with their soul- that is with mind, emotions and feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It all sounded very great in the eyes of the crowd but there is another most important part that touches God\u2019s heart that was missing and that is our born-again Spirit (the heart of worship). Unfortunately they couldn&#8217;t worship in Spirit because spiritually they were not connected with God. Spiritually they were not alive with God because the Bible says that sin separated man from God. They were dead in their TRESSPASSES.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Therefore, Worship is an issue of the heart. Worship is touching the heartbeat of God. It&#8217;s worshiping in the spirit not just with empty words and mind and emotions and feelings, It&#8217;s worshiping in the Spirit. And that is giving God His rightful place.
