Rev. Dr. Bernard Blessing was speaking on Sunday morning, and I found myself guilty of not feeding my spirit man.
He illustrated how God is 3 and 1, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We humans are 3 and 1 too, the spirit, body and soul.
God breathed spirit into the dust that He formed us from, and our soul is who we are. The spirit is always upward(and heavenly) looking, while the body seeks and enjoys what is on this earth. Feed the body/flesh, it gets stronger. Soul follows. Spirit has no choice, but to follow.
Feed the spirit, it gets stronger. Soul follows. Then body follows.
What the body/flesh feeds on:
- Negative information
- Prayerless-ness
- Disobedience to the Word of God
What the spirit feeds on:
- Prayer
- Reading of the Word
- Obedience to the Word of God
It’s not difficult to stray. It’s not difficult to plan your path in life. What business to do, what job to go for, what salary to demand, what plans to carry out. All these are merely physical and earthly decisions that will not last, nor have a lasting impact.
I realize, that when a plan .. placed in God’s hands and then sown .. will reap God’s purpose and results.
If you’re reaping results that you don’t like, then stop sowing.
If you want to change what you reap, change what you sow.
