In addition to the last post “Word AND Spirit” I would add these thoughts:
For we are the (spiritual) circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God AND glory in Christ Jesus AND put no confidence in the flesh– – Philippians 3:3
We worship in the Holy Spirit, that is in the Manifesting Presence, both privately and corporately.
We glory in Jesus Christ who is the revealed Word of God.
We place no confidence in the flesh, which is an independent mind will or emotions. This is the way of humility to the lowest point… even death on our cross.
The Spirit AND the Word in a state of full dependence. That is the right way of the Lord.
…and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith- that I may know him (Word) AND the power of his resurrection (Spirit), and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death… Philippians 3:9-10
