Thank you for sharing your insights and concerns, dear brother in Christ!

Probably . . . the only reason the following words seem so difficult for some folks to understand . . . in thought, words and actions . . . A-G: "To God be the glory, not man, never man." is the very human aversion to focusing all glory on God.

Seems to me when Christians become aware of God's real presence in them, prayer and worship are more like a state of being.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. – Romans 8:9

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? - I Corinthians 6:19

In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) - John 7:37-39

To God be the glory, not man, never man.
