God is spirit

Excerpt From yesterday-

'The spiritual aspect of the law is what so many try to take out of the law and it is the spiritual aspect that MUST fill every law and Jesus wanted that Spiritual aspect to be well known.

When the Pharisees accused Him of breaking the Sabbath by healing on the Sabbath, Jesus reminded them of the SPIRITUAL aspect of the law!

Over and over Jesus was reminding everyone of the Spiritual aspect of the law because the law is Spiritual- given in love which is spiritual NOT tangible, not something you can grasp but something you must have, must believe in spiritually.'

Spirituality.

Some might try to argue you have to see, touch, smell, hear, or taste something for it to be considered real. Yet you can't see a feeling. You can't touch, smell, hear or taste a feeling- and feelings exist- they are real. You can't touch a thought, you can't use any of your senses. People who can't hear, see, taste, feel, or smell can still have thoughts. We call this the mental part of us, not the physical part. We call this the emotional part of us, not the physical. We call this the spiritual part of us…sometimes.

What are the gifts of the Spirit-Spiritual gifts?

1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
1Co 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

Spiritual gifts for a spiritual living.

Wisdom, knowledge, miracles, prophecy, discernment of the spiritual, different languages, interpreting different languages- gifts- spiritual gifts.

God's moral law has a very spiritual aspect to it and it's not a law that will ever disappear. Why people want to believe differently is Satan led.

More tomorrow- by the wonderful, amazing, powerful grace of God.


In His LOVE, His PERFECT LOVE!


Amen.
