THE FUNCTION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL BODY THROUGH YOUR PHYSICAL BODY(2)
THE FUNCTION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL BODY THROUGH YOUR PHYSICAL BODY(2)
2 Peter 1:4 states that, "By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature."
When the above scripture talks about partakers, it refers to participators in the experience of the spiritual world.
The outward man involves his flesh with his physical senses and physical sensations, and the inward man involves his spiritual body with his spiritual senses and spiritual sensations.
Through our spiritual body, our spirit can relate with God and the spiritual realm through it's spiritual senses and spiritual sensations.
There's a difference between demons and fallen angels, even though all of them are fallen spirits, but demons have a particular way of functioning compared to the fallen angels.
Fallen angels are the angelic beings like satan and a host of other beings who were thrown away from heaven. Satan and his angels have no place in heaven, and they therefore function in the world, but they do not posess human bodies like the way demons do. What satan and his angels do is that they take over human bodies through their words.
For example, Mark 8:31-33 states that, "
[31]And He(Jesus) began to teach them that the Son of Man must of necessity suffer many things and be tested and disapproved and rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again [from death].
[32]And He said this freely (frankly, plainly, and explicitly, making it unmistakable). And Peter took Him by the hand and led Him aside and then [facing Him] began to rebuke Him.
[33]But turning around [His back to Peter] and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have a mind intent on promoting what God wills, but what pleases men [you are not on God's side, but that of men]."
This means satan was actually at Peter, but that doesn't mean Peter was posessed by satan, but satan sowed his word into Peter's mind, and Peter took Jesus aside and rebuked Him for saying that He is going to die, and told Jesus that He is not going to die. How did satan get into Peter? Through his words. But satan himself in person was not actually in Peter.
Now, God gets into us through His word which involves the nature of our spiritual senses and spiritual sensations, but in order to live by our spiritual senses and spiritual sensations, He also tends to posess us through His Spirit.
Jesus does not really come into us and live in us as a Person. It is a nice spiritual statement to say Jesus lives in us but it doesn't make spiritual sense because Jesus has a body of His own and the bible tells us that He is in heaven, and so, He cannot live in you with His body. He is not like the HolySpirit in that function.
Jesus posesses our spiritual and physical personalities through the seed of His word and also posesses our spiritual and physical bodies through the HolySpirit of love.
And so, Jesus lives in us and through us, inform of His Spirit, who is the HolySpirit of love.
The HolySpirit of love does not use a physical body. And so, in order to function at His best in the earth, He needs a physical body. That is why He tabernacled in the physical body of Jesus.
John 3:34 states that, "For since He(Jesus) Whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaims God's own message], God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure, but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit! [Deut. 18:18.]"
And this blessing that is on Jesus is also brought to us by Jesus Himself. The HolySpirit of love lives in us without measure.
And because of that, the grace and demand of us living by the unlimitted function of all of our spiritual senses and spiritual sensations in the new testament times is higher than it would be in the old testament times.
In the old testament, the Spirit of God annointed kings, priests and prophets with his presence. And it was in measure. But in the new testament, you don't find such a thing used consistently like the way they did in the old testament, except for certain purposes.
Rather, we have the Annointed One, who is the messiah, of whom the Spirit of love is in Him without measure. Who also the HolySpirit of love dwelt in Him in His totality. And Jesus made that possible in us too.
That's why,
John 4:14 states that, "But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.
This water Jesus was talking about is the HolySpirit. And so we too receive the HolySpirit of love without measure through Jesus Christ.
And,
In John 14:16, He said that, "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–"
Daddy God is always on the throne. And the Spirit of the Lord takes the presence of the Father and of Brother Jesus everywhere.
In the dark side of the spiritual world, satan also has a cellestial body which is also a spiritual body. His spiritual body was not taken away from him when he was thrown out of heaven. That's why satan is still beautiful, he still takes several different forms, he still shows himself in all kinds of beauty. He can take up any form. He can appear in a form of a human being like a man or a woman. He can show up in the street like a normal person that you know and walk into your home or office.
Not only satan, but also his fellow angels do the same.
You could find them by the hospital wards and they have even help some people deliver babies and do some terrible things like putting devils in them. Some turn into a young lady and a certain fellow marries her only to find that he was living with a devil.
And, 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 states that, "
[14]And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;
[15]So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. [But] their end will correspond with their deeds."
But if you are spiritually minded, whether satan and his angels appear in spiritual or physical form, one of the things that will help you know them is their eyes, because their eyes are terribly evil.
In the light side of the spiritual world, the angels of God may appear to us in physical form.
Hebrews 13:2 states that, "Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood–being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it. [Gen. 18:1-8; 19:1-3.]"
You can entertain God's angels unaware because the angels will come on clothes like those of any other human being and appear like anybody else. Don't think that when angels appear, they have got to have wings on their back because even in the old testament, they appeared like normal everyday fellows without wings on their backs. And so, not everytime they show up on their glory.
Those who are dominated by their physical senses and physical sensations are ignorant of the spiritual realm.
When your spirit is born by God's Spirit, your spiritual senses and spiritual sensations come alive in Christ. But if you're not taught and trained in the things of the spiritual world through the scriptures, you'll only live by your physical senses and physical sensations and never be aware of the real realm to which you are born into. And so you may not understand the various things that happen to your life.
All you see with your physical eyes is not all there is. By your spiritual sight, you discover there is more to life. However, some go to the extreme and think that whenever they have a problem, it's the devil. So they believe demons are everywhere about them. But what about angels? It's important to be angel conscious than devil conscious because there are more angels than demons.
If you learn to always improve the level at which you're taught and trained by the HolySpirit of love, it will be something spontaneous for you to unlimit the function of all of your spiritual senses and spiritual sensations.
There's always another level of being promoted in the teaching and training ministry of the Spirit of love.
But in order to have such promotions, one of the things you should be willing to do is to always learn by revelations to let God use you in improving the levels at which others are taught and trained by the Spirit of love more than yourself because in the spiritual realm of life, there is no shortage or lack.
Elisha didn't pray for the use of his spiritual eyes, but for those of his servant.
2 Kings 6:17 states that, "Then Elisha prayed, Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the young man's eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
The principles of this world can't measure up with the principles of the kingdom to which we belong because through love, we put the unlimitting function of people's spiritual senses and spiritual sensations first before our own, and 1 John 3:14 states that, "We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that we love the brethren (our fellow Christians). He who does not love abides (remains, is held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death."
