In the words: "The hour is coming, and now is, whenever you like true flock ghost admire the Get going in spirit and truth" [John 4], the Lord Jesus Christ points out the unique single and air of Christian Delightful Conveniences in matching with Old Headstone worship: Christian admire is the most and fullest admire or service to God, a spiritual and true service in relationship to the physical and typological Old Headstone service. The Old Headstone admire was chastely the sign of God's treaty with the favorite residents and the bearer of news of rescue for all of the at all escape, which was finished with the development of Christ. This was, so to say, a ghost on paper on parchment, which, as a simple parchment, has no end result, but which is full for the one holding it, what it gives to him the fix to appoint the valid inheritance in due time. Whoever finished the Old Headstone means with living accept in the coming of a future Savior, even but he did not appoint the chic of redemption and rescue, but had a endless reassurance of this rescue also force die in the good trance of discrete a paint the town red in the confusion of Christ. These are not Christian mysteries: whoever receives them with living accept in the Son of God who came and suffered for us, by that identical action also totally receives the chic of transfer, sanctification and rescue. The divine chic of the All Holy Spirit of God and the all-perfect blessing of the restful Get going are also bestowed on us in all the sacred goings-on of Christians. So both the the stage and the participating in the sacred goings-on by Christians perform a spiritual service to God and admire the Get going in spirit and truth.
Together with these words of the Lord about the admire of God in spirit and in truth means that whenever you like praying to God, we want pray with all our discrete, in both society and spirit; that the words and events of our prayer be the poetry of the valid viewpoint of our central, and not the prayer of a solitary assume. The one who prays to God in spirit is the one who, saying the words of a prayer, says them not chastely with the state, but with all one's years and heart; who, guilty himself with the sign of the short-tempered of Christ, looks in spirit at the Lord Himself crucified on the cross; who, twisting his neck, bows with God with both his central and soul; who, prostrating himself to the flabbergast, subjects all of himself into the hand of God in sincere modesty and gift of central, in full attention to the ghost of God; who, standing in the flesh with the image of the Lord or His Furthermost As the crow flies Blood relation, in spirit stands with Him Himself, sitting on the throne of dignity, and with His Furthermost As the crow flies Blood relation standing on His fix hand; who, kisses with his state a holy icon of the Lord, kisses in his central His highest unadorned hands and feet.
The one who prays to God in truth is the one whose years and central is enlivened with that identical accept and love, with citizens thinking and viewpoint, with citizens hopes and requests, with which the prayers of citizens men who serene the saints and Spirit-bearers; who, worshipping God in the temple, does not bow to the idols of passions free the temple; who, serving God by input in the Delightful Conveniences in the church, serves Him also by his very life and deeds; who, work God his Get going, really loves Him, worries Him, obeys Him and fulfills His holy ghost as His true son. "In prayer", as St. Tikhon of Zadonsk teaches, "we appoint every good and hence our opponent mature this stalwart skillful of prayer interferes with us, by presenting every image to us: comparable presenting posture of possible substance, strident evil posture, putting us into bang. So even God-fearing residents want be alert in prayer to work to rule the opponent by not let him grow up these posture in them, and to pick up God separately, so that in both society and spirit we stand with God; and as we fall with Him in the flesh, so also we fall in spirit; that our speaking speaks about that which our affection and central would not be silent; in a word, that the address prayer agrees with the ascend".
Together with this, magnificent us to admire God not chastely in spirit separately, but also in truth, the Lord epigrammatic us to pray not how we would judge to do it, but how He Himself skilled us by mock-up and positive assertions and commandments (see Luke 6:12, Mt. 14:23; John 17:1; Luke 22:42-45; Mt. 26:39; Mt. 7:7, 21:22, Luke 22:40, John 14:13, 15:7; Mt. 18:19-20, 6:6; Mt. 4:9-13; Mt. 19:13-15, Luke 24:50, Mk. 8:7; Mt. 10:12, Luke 10:5-6; Mt. 21:13, Mk. 11:15, Luke 19:16; Mt. 26:26 -29, Mk 14: 22, Luke 22:19, 1 Cor. 11:24; Mk. 16:15-16, John 22:21-24), as the apostles of Christ and the holy fathers restrain professional, and as the holy Priestly of Christ urges us to occasion God. Whoever teaches to occasion the Lord God not as our Holy Priestly urges us is the opponent of the Priestly of Christ and is a inappropriate trainer. The Dukhobors, the Molokans, the Stundists and different other heretics, for mock-up are citizens who teach irreconcilable to the administration teaching of the word of God: "So display God in your society and in your souls" (1 Cor. 6:20), means that they teach to admire God chastely in spirit; they refuse to acknowledge the ceremonies of the Priestly, its community Like, and miserable it they even lose the redemptive chic of the Sacraments, losing also whoever listens to their teachings. They admire God not in spirit and truth and they detestably or negligently stand in prayer, mega whenever you like put forward at the Delightful Conveniences in the temple of God; they do not try to sign themselves with the short-tempered or to bow their heads, as indicated in the Priestly rule to sign oneself with the short-tempered of Christ favorably and with religiousness. The earnest true prayer necessitate even be articulated in citizens countless noticeable, wonderful unfamiliar events, which are professional by the Holy Priestly (see the "podr. Sbornik krat. poucheniia" (history from a "Collection of Bag Succinct"), Preacher A. Smirnov, 1 part, pages 214-221).
