ALL SELFISHNESS IS AS FILTHY RAGS
PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE = BECOME DEAD TO SELF
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
YOU ARE A NEW CREATURE HAVING THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
SELF-ESTEEM IS DUNG !!
WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST IS ALL THAT COUNTS !!
You are a spirit; you have a soul; you live in a body.
YOU ARE (1) SPIRIT (2) SOUL (3) BODY. YOUR SPIRIT IS THE REAL YOU !!
1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
YOU . JUST . PLAIN . CANNOT . MIX . THE . TWO !!!!
John 3:6 KJV
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
YOUR SPIRIT IS WHO YOU ARE !! . (to quicken = to make alive)
John 6:63 KJV
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
THE BODY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT IS DEAD !!
James 2:26 KJV
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
YOUR FIVE SENSES WON'T GIVE YOU A CLUE HOW YOU ARE IN YOUR SPIRIT !!
GOD LITERALLY BLEW INTO ADAM THE BREATH OF LIFE. . THE SPIRIT IS WHAT QUICKENS - IT'S THE DRIVING FORCE !!
Genesis 2:7 KJV
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS THEIR SPIRIT THAT DRIVES THEM !!
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN AGAIN YOUR SPIRIT WAS DEAD IN THAT IT WAS SEPARATED FROM GOD.
ACTUALLY WE WERE JOINED TO THE DEVIL !!!!! . WE WERE - BY NATURE - CHILDREN OF WRATH, FULFILLING DESIRES OF FLESH !!
Ephesians 2:1-3 KJV
And you hath he quickened , who were dead in trespasses and sins; [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: [3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
IT'S NOT PHYSICAL ACTIONS THAT DRIVE A PERSON TO SIN , BUT HIS DEAD (SEPARATED FROM GOD) SPIRIT DRIVES HIM.
IF YOU EVER WANT TO CHANGE A PERSON , YOU HAVE TO CHANGE HIS NATURE. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS AT SALVATION. HE BECOMES A BRAND NEW PERSON. . GO TO THE WORDS OF JESUS FOUND IN THE BIBLE. THE WORD OF GOD TELLS YOU WHAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE SPIRIT REALM !!
LET US EMULATE JESUS IN HEALING AND PREACHING !!
Matthew 4:23-25 KJV
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
[24] And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
[25] And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
