Shipwreck of faith

"...having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck." 1 Timothy 1.19

A good conscience is fundamental in maintaining the faith. Many have sunk in faith because they have neglected striving to have a good conscience. A clear conscience generates peace with yourself and above all, with God.

You must be spirit

"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4.24

Because of His holy nature, God rejects the worship of those who DO NOT have the same divine nature.
How could those who are born of the blood, the will of the flesh or the will of man express sublime and profound praises to Someone who is Spirit? Is it possible for the flesh to worship in spirit?
To worship in spirit, you must be born of the Spirit. You must have His DNA, His nature, in other words, you MUST BE SPIRIT!

ANOINTING

"Thus Esau despised his birthright."       Genesis 25:34

Adam rejected God's anointing, Esau rejected Isaac's anointing, Judas Iscariot rejected Jesus' anointing and the same spirit of rebelliousness has continued to be passed on from generation to generation. 
Those who turn their backs on the anointing of the Divine are subject to Satan's power. You can't have God as your Lord and the devil as your lord at the same time. You are either a child of God or a child of the devil. You are either a temple of the Holy Spirit or a vessel of the devil.
This is why most believers are troubled, unsuccessful and possessed by demons. They have accepted Jesus as their Savior but have rejected Him as their Lord.

Rejection

"He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me."

Luke 10:16

Those who deny the message of the Gospel also deny the Son of God, and He sees all, therefore, there won't be acceptable excuses for those not interested in the Final Day.

MY COVENANT

"But to the wicked God says, "What right have you to tell of My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth? For you hate discipline, And you cast My words behind you."

Psalm 50:16-17

These words are to the hypocrites, those who say they believe in God when they do not. They memorize and repeat Scriptures, but they do not practice any of it.
