Worship in Spirit and Truth

I want to know how you see worship in spirit and truth to beWorshipping in Spirit and in truth according to John's Gospel isn't tied to a physical location.  In 1John it's referred to as not loving merely in words but in deed and in truth.  In Ephesians and Colossians, it's cultivating a relationship with Holy Spirit with the Written Word dwelling in your heart richly in all wisdom -- as well as those things that He says to you dwelling in you richly in all wisdom and fullness. Worshipping in Spirit and truth is obviously what's referred to in Zechariah as walking up and down in His Name in chapter 10, verse 12.  Luke 6:40 would refer to this as being conformed to the image and likeness of one's master to where if they've seen you, they've seen Christ.  Romans 5:17, Philippians 2:5, Philippians 3:17, Colossians 3:16-17, Philippians 4:9, 1Corinthians 4:16, 1Corinthians 11:1, 1John 2:5-6, 1John 4:17, Ephesians 5:1, Philemon 1:17, Colossians 2:6-7, 1Thessalonians 2:3-12, and other similar, related passages would be involved. Truth according to John 17 is the Written Word and obviously anything else Father is ongoingly saying that's based on the Written Word in the accomplishment of His image and purposes in the earth.  Worshipping in the spirit is a loaded question 'cause it involves all that I've already said, plus a fruitful prayer language in other tongues according to Ephesians 6, Ephesians 5, 1Corinthians 14, and other passages that speak of it, where there's both thanksgiving and mysteries being spoken in the spirit and fruitful interpretation coming out by faith where you exercise your faith to be given the wisdom and understanding of all you've said in other tongues -- which obviously would be an equivalent of prophecy if you were receiving by faith both the manifestation and understanding of what no man understands with his natural mind 'cause you're speaking mysteries, but are giving thanks well for the manifestation and understanding as we're told to do in 1Corinthians.
