COMMUNION LEADS TO COMMUNIONFIRE; COMMUNIONFIRE IS WORSHIP
He seeks us! He is waiting for us! When we receive the bread and wine at His table and encounter Him that is true worship. We are there by His leading, His invitation and are seated to receive the fire, life, love and passion of His presence. He is looking for those who will worship Him in the spirit and in His reality.
The Bread of Eternal Life
True worship is when we (Do this action as given to us by JESUS): take The Bread and ask the Lord to bless it as His Body and eat: to feed us with new life; bringing us into His reality (opening the eyes, ears and heart of the spirit to reveal) His feast upon His presence (to experience an encounter with Him to bring about personal renewal and transformation).
The Cup of the New Covenant & Wine of Redemption
True worship is also when we (Do this action as given to us by JESUS) taking the Cup and Wine asking the Lord to bless it as His New Covenant Blood to drink: to fill us with His life. The Holy Spirit (carries His life and quickens His life into every part of our body) and is there to: 1) bring us into His reality, 2) to help us remember (become a witness) to His Testimony (story) in a moment and 3) to reveal things that have not taken place yet.

See: John 4:23 "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” (Bolded words are seen in the original Greek below)
Hora = Hour: a divinely pre-settime-period; a limited period to accomplish the Lord's specific purpose
any definite time, point of time, moment
Erchomai = is coming: I come, go; in a future sense, will com
Nun = Now: immediate, of time: just now, even now; just at hand, immediately
Alethinos = Truth: emphasizing the organic connection (authentic unity) between what is true and its source or origin; straightforward (truth, but not merely truth as spoken; truth of idea, reality, sincerity, truth in the moral sphere, divine truth revealed to man, straightforwardness.)
Proskyneō = Worshipers/Worship: has been (metaphorically) described as "the kissing-ground" between believers (the Bride) and Christ
Pater = Father: one who imparts life and is committed to it; a progenitor, bringing into being to pass on the potential for likeness is used of our heavenly Father. He imparts life, from physical birth to the gift of eternal life through the second birth (regeneration, being born again). Through ongoing sanctification, the believer more and more resembles their heavenly Father – i.e. each time they receive faith from Him and obey it, which results in their unique glorification; because he is their creator, preserver, guardian and protector
Pneuma = Spirit: (Divine) Holy Spirit, sacred breath, breeze, wind blowing
Zeteo = Seeking: I seek, search for, desire; properly, to seek by inquiring; to investigate to reach a binding (terminal) resolution
Theos = God: properly, God, the Creator and owner of all things
Dei = Must: deí – properly, what must happen, i.e. what is absolutely necessary; (root word deo:
I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
John 4:23-24 Like the Samaritan Woman at the well who encountered JESUS through Communion we encounter Him and our life is transformed.
Translated from the Greek:
The Hour is Coming and is Now Here = a divinely preset moment when He comes immediately (to accomplish the His specific purpose)
When true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him = When those who are spiritually connecting to Him (as if a branch connected to a vine feeds) organically will lean into His presence (as if kissing the ground where He is) from the heart (spiritually) in His real presence (His reality) - Those are the ones who He is looking for; waiting for; desiring.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth = The Creator is a divine breath and those who share (kiss or kneel upon, ie., feast with him) His ground must dine, share, recline at table with Him must do so in the spirit and (at His table) in His 'reality' (presence).
Final Thought:
True worship is not in 'Theory and Concept' but rather in 'Spirit and Truth'
In CommunionFire this morning My wife heard the following song from 40 years ago. Enjoy!
