Properness

Praise: the expression of approval or admiration for someone or something.

When a co worker does something that has earned approval, we say to the individual, 'hey thanks for doing that', or, 'well done', or, 'I/we appreciate your effort'. What we do not say is 'Praise to you!' The Christ Jesus is the authority of eternal Love. The living form of the Word of God, present before creation, and through whom; all things came into being.

We do not offer approval to our parents for having brought us to life. Nor do we admire them for having brought us to life. Nor, for that matter do we praise the Word of God for being the authority through which we came to be.

The Son does His Father's will. This is another way of saying; the truth is the eternal authority of Love. When people say, 'Praise the Lord Jesus Christ', or 'Praise be his name', or simply, 'Praise Jesus', they are not acknowledging the Father, instead they are acknowledging His Authority. This is improper.

People pray to the authority, instead of through the authority allowing faith to be recognized by the Father. This is incorrect; improper. That is like people only recognizing laws instead of the system that provides them. And this reveals much of the enemy. People claim the commandment of 'Do not steal', but they do not recognize the God that provided it.

So again, acknowledging only the authority of God, is putting that authority above that which provided it to us out of love for us. Jesus did his Father's will, not his own. So why would we only recognize that authority instead of what created it.-

We do not say 'praise Jesus', we do not say, 'praise God'. That is like saying 'Acknowledge Jesus' or 'Admire God'. Instead, we glorify the Father in our acts. We praise God not by saying it, but in our acts.

A form of praise is witnessing to other of good works. A form of glorifying is to have others witness good works coming through you. See? So saying mantras like 'Praise the Lord' are meaningless, without sincerity or worth. They only serve your recognition, which is only of your will in doing so.

We grow closer to the Father through carrying His truth forward. Through us, the Spirit of Truth acts on the Father's will. Love is the foundation in all fruits of the Spirit of Truth.

Yes, holiness is not of us. And it is beautiful and wonderous to have holiness come through our imperfection. But we do not praise the authority by which it came, no. We instead offer thanks.

"Thank you Father for your Son."

In that prayer of thanksgiving, we recognize the Love shared and by the authority upon which it was recieved. AMEN

Awaken! Be alert and aware!
