God’s Word is spirit and life
What we understand from birth or without knowing Christ, all that we know about spirit is scary, dark, evil. People think and dream at night and fear of spirit. Why are people scare about spirit? People cannot see and hear. Those who put black magic, people are scare.
When we don’t understand who Christ is, we are scare of all spirit in darkness.
What Jesus said are in spirit. God’s word is spirit and life. Our spirit is alive in Christ!
Our thinking or understanding might not align, but we know when Jesus speaks to us is in spirit. Only God’s word, when God create mankind, He created us from earth. God breathed into mankind and we have life!
What we cannot see does not mean it is not real.
Whatever is in the spiritual realm, without Christ, is dark and scary.
When Adam was created, there was spirit and therefore he lived.
Why Adam died, cos he took the forbidden fruit. He listened to satan’s word.
Whose word we believe is very important.
God said the day Adam took the forbidden fruit he will die. He died 930 years later. Although he lived physically, but the day he took the forbidden fruit, his inside died. Inside died, he eventually died physically.
All started with the spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
Blessing and Admonition
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sanctify completely! May your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Spirit -> soul -> body
It all started with the mind. All start with the spirit.
God wanted mankind to control all in the spirit. The strength of His word is from the spirit.
God destined us to be kings.
The definition of death is separation from God
Galatians 5:18-23
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
When you are in God’s house, we point you to Jesus. Jesus’ finished work!
Righteousness starts from the spirit. God wants us to understand this –
Galatians 5:25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Holy Spirit is in spirit realm. Inside us we understand we are in with Christ. We are joint with Christ!
Holy Spirit dwell in us. This is God’s strength. We are made righteousness of God in Christ.
Not through feeling or emotion.
Those who trust in their own actions to achieve good, trying to come near to God, that is in vain. No one can fulfil the law to come near to God. Law is to reveal our sin.
John 3:5-6
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Born of water and the Spirit. God is spirit. Born of flesh is flesh and born of the Spirit is spirit.
It is all in the spirit.
From inside to outside.
From outside to control ourselves is religion and law.
Be born again in the Spirit.
If not you cannot have joy and peace. Our behaviours will not give us joy and peace. Be born again in the Spirit.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Jesus’ resurrection. All that happen in the spirit for us to have everlasting life.
Jesus’ cross is outside time. It is in the spirit.
Jesus is without sin and He took our place for the punishment of sin.
Live the abundance life!
Jesus came and we are alive in the spirit! We not only not die but go into everlasting life! We don’t age but grow younger! We go into everlasting life and will never die again.
Revelation 21:1-4
Chapter 21
All Things Made New
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
God don’t want us to live in darkness. Greed for wealth is the root of all evil.
Live in happiness is the most important.
Jesus live with us. Our Jesus is looking after us.
Live in peace. Even if you are angry, don’t let it be too long.
God is for me! He wants us to live in joy!
He came and He has paid for us all !
We are the brides. The Bridegroom (Jesus) is fetching us! A bride adorned for her husband.
Glory! Glory beyond description!
He came with a loud voice from heaven! God want to wipe all our tears. Never ever have death. Jesus has tasted death for us. Why He used the word taste? Death is the extreme pain. The spirit and the body. The spirit has to go to a place. Hell is real. Heaven is real!
All that is in the earth will pass away.
Spirit come out of the body and those without Christ will be sucked into hell.
A testimony –
A dying man in operation kept on wanting to live and he cried to come back. He was in horror. He was sucked into hell and saw hell. The doctor asked him to shout for Jesus. When he did that, he shouted Jesus, before he left, his face was in peace and he said he saw Jesus and he can go already.
Saviour, Jesus died for us!
No more pain, sorrow. Heaven has no death, no aging. This is our hope!
We are waiting for our Bridegroom to fetch us!
Heaven is not fairy tale.
Live out the abundance life in the spirit!
Count on spirit to live and count on spirit live out abundance life!
Live out the glory life!
Jesus wants us to be healthier and glorious in life!
What we believe, we live out the abundance life!
Whatever is stressed in the mind, it cause the body to be stressed as well.
Jesus has finished all. Our soul must accept what already happened in the spirit.
Live from inside out.
Keep on listening and listening. We know who we are in Christ and we can live out.
Not those who come church weekly are blessed. Those who come weekly, don’t feel that we deserve blessing because we come.
Don’t try to deserve blessing by our action of coming.
Speak forth what we want in life!
Those watching Korean shows, we keep on listening and watching and it affect our emotion.
It is important what we listen and watch daily.
It is the most scary when one is stressed even if one is resting physically.
Listen Believe God’s Word, Gospel!
Remember God’s Word.
All aging happened from the heart, from the inside.
Listen from the heart. Listen and must retain in our hearts.
What come out from the heart is the best medicine
We don’t have inside, outside also don’t have.
What we believe inside, we will live out.
It all happened from believing.
Live in listening. Listen and live out the inside.
When you are angry you know God is for us.
You will be in peace very fast.
Follow Jesus in the spirit.
Listen to the gospel. What we can listen can give life!
Depend on the spirit.
When Jesus died, His spirit is in us
Galatians 5:16
Walking in the Spirit
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Because of His grace, we repent.
We follow Jesus we have abundance and miracles! We follow Jesus, and not miracles but miracles and abundance follow us!
Ephesians 5:14-19
Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Walk in Wisdom
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
Recognise our spirit life. We live in the spirit. We are younger and younger. We can sleep well. When we sleep, God is working on us.
Don’t believe the lies. We are new creation in Christ. We are healthy!
Pray in tongues. We energise (charge) ourselves when we pray in tongues.
The more we charge the more we are healthier and younger.
Guard our hearts. When one grows old, is because of what is inside, what we believe.
Soul prosperity is very important.
We are not old creation, we are new creation!
When you think you can age, you are going into the flesh. Live in the spirit. Don’t believe the lies. Keep on listening to the Word.
Listen to God’s Word and it is the best “medicine” to our bodies!
God is the resurrection life in us!
If you see you don’t have, you live the “don’t have”
How you believe is very important!
You are full of wisdom because Jesus is your wisdom.
Live out God’s glory through us!
God wants us to be healthy and reverse aging be young!!
As Christ is, so are we in this world!!
Don’t be a drunkard. Be filled with the Spirit. Be drunk in the spirit!
Be filled with the spirit: speaking to yourselves!
Keep speaking!
Pray in tongues always!!
God wants to fight for us.
Isaiah 30:15
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
But you would not,
Quietness and confidence.
Pray in the spirit. Go into peace. God will fight for us!
Be still and know that He is God!
