Though self is not dead, you are indeed dead to self.
Self is still strong and living, but has no power over you.
You, your Renewed Nature – you, your New Self, Begotten Again in Jesus Christ from the dead – are Indeed Dead to sin and Alive to God.
Your Death in Christ has Freed you Completely from the control of self; it has no power over you, except as you, in ignorance, or unwatchfulness, or unbelief, consent to yield to its usurped authority.
Worship in the Spirit Must Come
From God Himself!
God is Spirit!
He Alone Has Spirit to Give!
PSALM 119.160 The sum of Your word [is] truth, || And every judgment of Your righteousness [is] for all time!
1 PETER 1.5
who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

PROVERBS 17.27-28
One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, || And the cool of temper [is] a man of understanding. Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, || He who is shutting his lips [seems] intelligent!

ROMANS 7.18
for I have known that there does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and I do not find to work that which is right,
ROMANS 6.6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving sin,

JOHN 4.23
but there comes an hour, and it now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him;
ACTS 2.33
then having been exalted at the right hand of God—also having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father—He poured forth this which you now see and hear;
=====
PSALM 119.160
The sum of Your word [is] truth, || And every judgment of Your righteousness [is] for all time!
God is Spirit.
He is the Everlasting and Unchangeable One.
What He is, He is Always and Everywhere.
Our Worship must also be in Spirit and in Truth.
His Worship must be the Spirit of our Life.
Our Life must be Worship in Spirit as God is Spirit.
Believer! would you Truly and Fully Abide in Christ, prepare yourself to Part Forever From Self, and not to allow it, even for a single moment, to have aught to say in your inner life.
The cause of much poverty of thought lies in thinking too extravagantly.
Learn to conserve your thought, not waste it.
Exercise your mind, but do not exhaust its energy on insignificant things.
Satan will also wear out our time.
If the Children of God do not Discern Satan’s wiles they can easily fall into his trap.
How we must Redeem our time and make every hour count.
We must resist Satan from wearing out our time and must Withstand him from causing us to do works that will have no results.
The Spirit of Life which God Has Given us is One and the Same as that which the Lord Has, so is the Nature of our Life the Same as His.
Thus, there is no possibility of discord and disobedience.
His Life Resident Within its members.
Such will eventually compass Satan’s downfall and bring to Fulfillment All that God Has Set His Heart Upon.
It is this that was in View with the Creation of man.
