FEEDING YOUR SPIRITUAL BODY - ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR SPIRITUAL BODY CORRECTLY?


"FEEDING YOUR SPIRITUAL BODY"
ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR
SPIRITUAL BODY CORRECTLY? 

GENESIS 1:27
SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, (SPIRIT)
IN THE IMAGE OF GOD (SPIRIT) CREATED HE HIM;
MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM.


TASTE OF NEW LIFE

When we are young - new born, we taste new life - spiritual life. Everything is clean, and fresh. You feel alive. What strength we do have, makes us feel: free, courageous, and strong. In our innocence we feel we can conquer the world. Our senses are heightened by new aromas, and tastes. Our hunger is satisfied only by what we can eat for the first time, and we do eat till we are satisfied. We eat - and eat - and we eat. Then we lay back - looking at our spiritual growth, and say, "AH! THIS IS THE LIFE!"  

1 PETER 2:2-3 -
2) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3) If so be ye have tasted that the Lord IS gracious.

MEDAMORPHESIS

We suddenly find ourselves crawling around feeling hungry. We eat - but, we are no longer satisfied. Not quit sure of what to look for, we continue to crawl around searching for new food. We taste this, and we taste that. But, we spew it out, because of its bitter taste. Our growth has to catch up with our new appetite, and become accustomed to a new cuisine we need to grow, so we don't stunt our growth, become spiritually weak, and die. BUT, WE NEED TO FIND THAT NEW CUISINE!

1 CORINTHIANS 3:2 - I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

SPIRITUAL FOOD

Coming out of a spiritual cocoon, and growing into spiritual adulthood requires breaking out of your old cocoon, and into your new one. Your new one needs to be stronger to endure the journey God created you for.

PSALMS 31:5 - Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

That same spirit, the HOLY SPIRIT that created Jesus, taught Him to grow: strong - spiritually strong, so He could accomplish the journey God chose for Him. That same Spirit wants to teach you how to become spiritually strong, to accomplish the journey He has chosen for you too!

THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL COCOON

GENESIS 1:27 - So God created man in his own image, (SPIRIT) in the image of God (SPIRIT) created he him; male and female created he them.

JOHN 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP Him must worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.

It was inevitable that when God created man in His image (Spirit) He had a purpose in mind - for man to worship Him, to worship Him in Spirit, and in truth, so we can grow to be as strong as He is. But, in order for man to grow spiritually strong he needs to obey God's word.

JOHN 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The only way for you to grow into spiritual adulthood with God is to feed your spirit with its Spiritual Creator, by staying in His word. Obeying God's word, is worshiping Him, and worshiping Him in Spirit, and Truth is Truth - His Truth.  

LIFE OR DEATH

IF YOU DO NOT FEED YOUR SPIRIT
ITS SPIRITUAL CREATOR
YOUR SPIRIT WILL DIE!

ROMANS 8:4-8 -
4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (God's Spirit!)
5) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

CREATED TO BE WARRIORS

God is a warrior! He created us to be warriors - to fight against the same enemy Jesus fought, and won - to be spiritually strong as Jesus is. Jesus proved He was spiritually strong. Jesus proved that you can use the same armour He did, and win.

EPHESIANS 6: 10-18 -
10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 
17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

So, are you feeding your spirit correctly? Are you feeding your spirit its Spiritual Creator? Become who God created you to be by fulfilling your spiritual journey. Become an adult spiritual warrior.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

If you don't know as your Lord, and Savior, receive Him now! Just ask Him into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins - (your wrong doings.)

ROMANS 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
