Why are all prayers and most everything else directed against Jesus, not God the Father to pray and worship for more than any other? The unbiblical doctrine of the Trinity destroys the image of God!

Prayer and worship is biblical and wonderful, but it is not Jesus who in the first instance should be directed to or worshiped but God the Father! But it is through Christ's work on Calvary that we have access to God, so shall also the Lamb priced (read my commentaries for this in Revelation) we are taught about in Revelation 5 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? 3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the book and read it. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not! behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals. 6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took it off his right hand, who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of saints 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy you to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and by Your blood purchased us to God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth! 11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand and a thousand times a thousand, 12 and saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! 13 And every creature which is in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and the rate and depth of eternity. 14 And the four living creatures said: Amen! And the elders fell down and worshiped.
Joh. e 4 22 I worship not I do not know, we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews: 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are such worshipers the Father wants . 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
There are many who have an exaggerated focus on Jesus in mind worship and prayer place, and God the Father is a peripheral one. It is through Jesus and through Jesus' death and resurrection we have access to God. Therefore, the goal is to pray and worship God the Father and no other shall be exalted like him, not even Jesus. And to pray and worship the Holy Spirit will in many cases lead than directly into the occult, something we see more and more through the Pentecostal \ Charismatic Christianity is becoming more and more a Satanic delusion that leads than away from God and not to God.
It is not wrong to pray or worship Jesus, but the font adds bulk that we should pray to God the Father in Jesus' name, not directly to Jesus, and we should worship God above anyone else. When it feel strange that believers, especially free church has an exaggerated focus on Jesus and Nicolaitans wins while learning more and more foothold over everything! Let me take fourteen (14) points that show what God's word says that we shall worship the Father and pray to God the Father as the most important thing we do as believers! Jesus should be directed to and enterprises, but in a secondary significance and meaning. But God the Father is in an intimate and affectionate in a way
1) At bottom is all prayer and worship directed against God the Father - the one true God - no one else! Joh. AD 14 Joh. 16, 23b. Verily, verily, I say to you, whatever you ask Father, He will give to you in my name. 24. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs. There comes a time when I no longer speak to you in parables, but openly preach the Father. 26. At that day ye shall ask in my name. And I tell you, not that I will pray the Father for you. 27. For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God. 28. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. I am leaving the world again and going to the Father. This means that we are praying to God in Christ and confidence that He is our Savior and brother, and that we already have all the faith in him, as without him we would only merit disadvantage and anger. Paul says in Romans of Christ: "By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." It is by faith in Jesus and leave on his credit that we pray in His name, and hope to have everything well. For his sake, we heard prayers, not our fault or our own or other people's profits. For Jesus, through his life, death, resurrection and ascension won sonship for us by God. Therefore, we can even approach the Almighty and call Him Father, because Jesus made us his brothers and has won for us. Jesus taught us to believe in Him is not only to know or accept that He is true man, but also to console himself that he for our sake and for our salvation came forth from the Father and entered the world and once again left the world and returned to the Father. This is the foundation that he says in John. AD 16 26: "And I tell you, not that I will pray the Father for you, for the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came out from God." We do not have any other than Christ, who with his life and his death and resurrection is that our righteousness on the right hand. In Him we have the right to ask for everything with our Heavenly Father, and we will get it! It is always Jesus to pray and worship, but prayer and worship is directed against God the Father rather than some other scripture speaks again and again.
2) He has a secondary function and work under - not next - the only true God, the Father. Jesus says again and again that he knows everything, the Father is greater than me etc. and I have come not to do My own will but the will of my Father etc. Jesus always directed his message against God the Father, why do not we do it same, but against Jesus and the Holy Spirit? This is a diversion and displacement of the center of gravity that is not biblical and healthy. Jesus never claimed that he was God or that he should have focus, but God the Father. But through the Atonement, he is worthy of the price, honor and power we read in Revelation (see my commentaries on Revelation 5).
3) Jesus' lordship is limited. Jeus domination is limited, therefore, it appears that Jesus is subordinate to the Father and not the one true God. Jesus domination ends at the end of the 1000 year kingdom. 1 Cor. 15. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he says that everything is his subject, it is clear that he is undtatt who subject him everything; 28 but when things are subject unto him, then shall and Son himself subjecting himself him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
4) God is Father's dominion forever and ever! God's dominion will be forever, Hallelujah, forever and ever, Hallelujah!
Psalm 145:13 Your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. God's dominion will include not only the earth but the entire universe with all the heavens.
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion and glory and kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom is a kingdom that can not be destroyed. Dan 4:34 But when the time was the end, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and my sanity was restored, and I promised the Most High and praised and honored him who lives forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and if kingdom endures from generation to generation.
5) The Holy Spirit will never be invited to or worshiped. This I have made before, but the Spirit is part of God, but not a person. Just as we have a Spirit and Satan has a Spirit, God has a Spirit. It is absurd and unbiblical to pray and worship the Spirit, it leads away from God and Christ. Warns the strongest mother to pray or worship the Spirit, although many Pentecostal \ charismatics and others do.
6) We shift the center of gravity by not let prayer and worship must be directed against the only true and correct God, the Father. It is important during eg. cook to have the right mix. Have one too much or too little of something, usually food tastes bad. The Christians have too much of "Jesus" and too little of God and God's word. And too much of "The Spirit" and God the Father and God's word are more and more pushed out, and the Laodicean church in which we see today. The solution was an eye ointment (see my commentaries on Revelation 3).
7) Jesus should be directed to and worshiped, but to a limited extent. Jesus is the Lamb! But God the Father is the only true God, and who has an eternal and universal domination. While Jesus has a limited and earthly dominion. Been given to me, Jesus says of himself. In other words, God the Father for a time given his lordship of Jesus. Who is the greatest Father and Jesus? Father and none other!
8) It is only God the Father who sits in the middle of the throne in the sky, no one else. From my commentaries Revelation 5 7 Lamb came to him that sat on the throne, and took the book out of his right hand.
No one can come close to God and live. But when God the Son can acknowledge him fully. There is nothing impure and rebellious in him. Only dignity, grandeur, beauty, and goodness. (End of quote). Even Jesus came to him that sat on the throne, who is God the Father. Several comments are unnecessary, there is only one that is constantly on the throne for who he is, but the Father. Worship and pray to him, then do it right and the most important.
9) Jesus sits at his right hand. From my commentaries Hebrews 1 2 But now, when the end times come, he has spoken to us by his Son. Him hath God appointed heir of all things, and through whom he created the world. Now the Son. Joh. AD 1 17 For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Through him has made him world that make Jesus the same as God, yet he is not the Father who is the source of everything. Kol. 1. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the first begotten of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created: in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions, or principalities or authorities - All things were created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and all composed by him. Father does nothing except by and through the Son.
3 He is the radiance of God's glory and the image of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. When he had accomplished purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Kol.1. 18 He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so he in all things He may have the preeminence. Jesus is both the largest and premier. He is the first to have gone out of the Father. As the Father created and the only one who is like him. He exudes the Father as he is without it being in pieces. As it was with the Prophet and all the other people. Kol.1. 17a He is before all things. When he became a man he served our sin, and then sat down at the Father's right hand!
10) Jesus is not from eternity with the Father, he came forth from him. Micah 5 1. But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, the least among the clans of Judah! From you leave I get a man who will be ruler over Israel. He has its origins in ancient times, He is from ancient days. Proverbs. 8. 22 I was the first Lord brought forth, His first works of old. 23 In the beginning I was shaped, In the beginning, before the earth was formed. 24 I was born before the deep ocean was there, before the fountain filled with water. 25 Before the mountains were put in their place, before all the hills, I was born, 26 before the Lord created the earth and worms and the first mold of the earth. Born and sent also as a human after his pre-existence in heaven with God the Father in which Jesus managed to get Father's equality in the full mon as the only one that is fully equal to the Father. Therefore begotten! Jesus domination will only be over all the earth.
Case 9:10 And I will cut off the chariots of Ephraim and horses in Jerusalem, and all war arches must be cut, and he shall speak peace unto the heathen, and his dominion shall reach from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends.
11) The Father is the only one who is from everlasting to everlasting, not beside it. 1. Chron. 29. 10 In the presence of all the assembly blessed the Lord and David said, Blessed are You, Lord, our ancestor Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Isaiah 44 6 Thus says the Lord, Israel's King and Redeemer, The Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no God (the basic text, no God like me). 7 Who is like me? Let him give himself up and tell yes, submit to me what has happened since I created the first people. And let him tell them what page should be. 8 Fear not, be not dismayed! Have I not too long ago announced and told you that? Ye are my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? I know of no other rock. Psalm 90 2 Before the mountains were added, and you created the earth and the earth kingdom, even from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
12) Just as King David will sit on the throne during the 1000 årsriket Jesus will sit on his throne in heaven for all eternity, the Father's right hand. And King David will rule with and under Jesus during the 1000 årsriket. There will be similarities here which tells us that Jeus government period is "smaller" than God the Father's term in office. All wonderful, delightful and wonderful. Yet God the Father term in office far above everything, even the 1000 year kingdom is small and little here whether it is by far the largest and tastiest ever been on this earth. Ezekiel 37 24 And my servant David shall be king over them, and one shepherd will it be for them all, and my laws they must follow, and my commandments they shall keep and do them. / 25 And they shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, that which your fathers lived in, and they shall dwell in it, they and their children and their children's children, forever, and David my servant shall be their prince forever.
13) Jesus' rule is limited to the earth and for 1000 years. God the Father Domination is unlimited in time, space and location! Jerusalem, Jesus will reign from the Father will reign from the New Jerusalem which is above the earthly Jerusalem. God the Father requires no temple when everything will be his temple. Jesus will have a temple in Jerusalem, which shows that the kingdom is limited and the quality of underground while the Father is of heavenly quality and unlimited as God the Father himself. Joh. Obvious. 3. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never more go out there, and I will write upon him my name of God and the name of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down of heaven from my God, and my new name.
14) All of preaching, song selection and everything else, "drag" one away from worshiping and praying to the one true God, the Father. I just have to point out and that is a fact of the faithful in particular has not had and do not always have the right focus by not being aware of these things as I have taught here.
Final Comment: It is unfortunately the unbiblical and occultic Trinity has the main blame for that it's been so, so make sure you understand what the word of God teaches, and read our blog and our website about what God's word says about these things. Highly recommend! Everything on our site and our blogs are free! But to produce this is not free. You will hear teaching and preaching like no other place in Norway and elsewhere.
