For instance, in ACTS 7:55-56 during Stephen’s stoning the Bible says, “But he, full of the Holy Spirit and controlled by Him, gazed into heaven and saw the glory (the splendour and majesty) of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand; And he said, Look! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at God’s right hand!” Here God’s heart was moved by the Sermon Stephen preached as a testimony about the Word of Life Whom he heard, saw, gazed upon, and touched with his own hands [1 JOHN 1:1]. Among the many things that move His heart is helping the poor as PROVERBS 19:17 says, “If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD – and He will repay you.” 24. Worshippers know how to position themselves. In JOHN 4:20 a Samaritan woman said to Jesus, “Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary and proper to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither merely in this mountain nor merely in Jerusalem.” This implied that there would be (and now is) another kind of positioning which is spiritual and this is through Jesus Christ.
