Spiritual vs Emotional

DAY 5 OF 6

Manual labor and I never went well together since childhood. So, you would guess my level of activity on a football field - low! I would always prefer to be a goalkeeper because -- you've guessed it -- no running! It was the easiest thing to do on the football field until my friend who shall be unnamed gets the ball... his shots are going to hurt and hurt really bad. So whenever he is running towards me with the ball, I just rather let the goal go. My body can agree with natural things like pain, hurt, fear, and confusion, and therefore it acts to protect itself or even to save itself from trouble. 


But the bible says we are not of this world, we are not moved by the flesh. We are moved by the spirit. Your spirit, unlike the body, does not agree with the natural, it agrees with the Holy Spirit. You may be feeling fear and temptation, but your spirit - it is STRONG! It has all grace pertaining to life. And because we aren't supposed to be led by the flesh by the spirit, we must meditate on the grace and on the noble truths of the spirit and let them guard our hearts and encourage us and strengthen us so that we can consciously and intentionally rejoice in the Lord always. No matter what your body is feeling or what your mind is thinking, or even if your emotions are raging, your spirit is at rest. So, let the spirit guide you. 


Ephesians 4 says "Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth. But what is good for edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers". Now, you have already obtained according to John chapter one, grace for grace, meaning you can move from one grace to another grace, from one level to another level, and how do you do that? You do that by imparting grace to yourself by hearing it - by speaking it to yourself. So, faith comes by hearing and grace comes by hearing too. So the way you impart this grace is, once you're are able to access the grace inside your spirit, that the Spirit is able to agree with the Holy Spirit. And therefore, once they come into agreement, that spirit will speak out and impart grace to my body. So if my body is feeling pain, hurt, confusion, and emotional trauma but my Spirit knows the truth that I am beloved of the Most High, it will speak it out, it will impart it to me, and it will impart it to my body. Now my body can manifest these truths despite every situation. Even though I can feel all the trauma in the world and my Spirit does not agree with my body because my body is an instrument of life, my spirit is the life and it agrees with the source of the life that is the Holy Spirit. Now every situation can be converted and changed and shifted by the power of God's Word by the power of God's truth so that I can live life and live it abundantly. That is spirituality.
