Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the
Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
The Spirit, the
invisible entity that is a part of us. We were created with a spiritual need in
us. We were created with the ability to be born again of the Spirit.
God is a spirit.
Jesus is flesh and
spirit.
And there is also
the Holy Spirit.
We are flesh and
spirit.
The angels are
spirits.
The angels of God
are ministering spirits.
Satan and is angels
are evil spirits.
We live in a VERY
spiritual orientated existence that is largely not thought too much about.
The influence of the
spiritual is all around us. Our Savior
told us we must be born again of the Spirit.
This is the spirit part of us connecting with the Holy Spirit of God, choosing
God. If we do NOT choose to be born again, born of the Holy Spirit, then we are
left with only one other spirit entity to connect with our spirit self.
The spiritual is all
around us, all the time. We choose which spirit to follow, no one chooses for
us.
When we choose the
flesh we are choosing to let the evil spirit guide us.
When we choose to
follow other men, rather than God… we are choosing evil. We DO NOT WANT to believe this is true! We
just don't.
Listen to this--
Mat_15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye
also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Mat_15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men.
IN VAIN they
worshipped God. Do you imagine they believed they were worshipping God in vain?
NO! They did not believe their worship was in vain, not in the least.
When man worships
man, when we believe that our own works, that we of ourselves can save
ourselves then we're lost!
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the
Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
When we initially
accept Christ as our Savior, believing that by faith in Him we are saved, we
are being born again in the Spirit- we
have BEGUN in the Spirit. When we STOP
having that initial FAITH BELIEF then we revert back to the flesh, to life
without the SPIRIT. So while we have HAD
the Spirit, we lose the Spirit by believing in ourselves, not God. We are NEVER going to be made perfect by the
flesh, we are NEVER going to be made perfect without the Spirit.
We have to LIVE in
the SPIRIT.
Truly, truly we must
be born again daily because our flesh must die daily!
We live in CHRIST,
not in self.
Is there any doubt
that this is a REAL SPIRITUAL war we are in? There shouldn't be, not a single
doubt.
Yet what will wake
us up to this truth. Will the bombs raining down around us exploding
everywhere? These are silent explosions, and oh so spiritually deadly. If we could only realize the truth of
Spiritual warfare and recognize it for what it is-- REAL.
Please, Father in
Heaven, please, open our hearts and minds to the truth, all Your truth! Please
let us LIVE IN THE SPIRIT ALWAYS, don't let us return to the flesh, please!
Help us, save us from ourselves!
Keep us in YOU all
by the grace, the mercy, the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
