Lets begin by reading this scriptural passage:
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. We KNOW that whosoever is BORN of GOD sins NOT; but he that is begotten of God KEEPS himself, and that wicked one TOUCHES him NOT. And we KNOW that we are of God, and the whole world LIES in wickedness. And we KNOW that the SON of GOD is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may KNOW Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, KEEP yourselves from idols. Amen. (1 John 5:17-21; 1 John 3:1-10).
It is unfortunate that many genuine Christians do not KNOW or note that what gives Satan license and access into our lives as Children of God in Christ in this World are what the Bible calls WORKS OF THE FLESH, which Jesus Christ purposefully came to destroy in us and which are:
1. Adultery
2. Fornication
3. Uncleanness
4. Lasciviousness
5. Idolatry
6. Witchcraft
7. Hatred
8. Variance
9. Emulations
10. Wrath
11. Strife
12. Sedition
13. Heresies
14. Envyings
15. Murders
16. Drunkenness
17. Revellings
Amongst others. (Galatians 5:16-21; Romans 1:28-32; 1 John 5:16-21).
They are the workings of the fallen human Flesh, which operates by LUST (aided by Satan and demons), through the fives senses of the human fallen FLESH. These are:
1. SEEING, through the human physical eyes of the human fallen Flesh.
2. HEARING, through the human physical ears of the human fallen Flesh.
3. SMELLING, through the human physical noses of the human fallen Flesh.
4. TASTING, through the human physical tongue of the human fallen Flesh.
5. FEELING, through the human physical skin of the human fallen Flesh.
The Bible counsels thus:
Love NOT the world, NEITHER the things that are in the world. If any man LOVE the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the flesh, and the LUST of the eyes, and the PRIDE of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15-17).
When you and I live according to or after the FLESH, we give SATAN license and access into our lives, to steal, kill and destroy in our lives and to de-activate our SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY of the Spirit of Christ within us. True!
Therefore, the Bible reveals thus:
For they that are AFTER the flesh do mind the things of the FLESH; but they that are AFTER the Spirit the things of the SPIRIT. For to be CARNALLY MINDED is DEATH (spiritual alienation from God); but to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED (spiritual alignment with God) is LIFE and PEACE. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:5-14; 1 John 5:16-21; Ephesians 4:20-32; 1 Thessalonians 5:19).
Do you get it?
Again, it is unfortunate that many genuine Christians do not KNOW or note also that what gives God license and access into our lives as Children of God in Christ in this World are what the Bible calls FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, which Jesus Christ purposefully came to birth and grow in us and which are:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Longsuffering
5. Gentleness
6. Goodness
7. Faith
8. Meekness
9. Temperance
Amongst others. (Galatians 5:22-26; Hebrews 12:1-14).
This is the working of the human regenerated Spirit, which operates by LOVE (aided by the Spirit of God within it), through the fives senses of the human regenerated SPIRIT. These are:
1. ENLIGHTENMENT, through the human spiritual eyes of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.
2. IMAGINATION, through the human spiritual ears of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.
3. PERCEIVING (discerning), through the human spiritual noses of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.
4. INSPIRATION, the human spiritual tongue of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.
5. PROMPTING (quickening), the human spiritual skins of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.
When you and I live according to or after the SPIRIT, we give GOD license and access into our lives, to heal, help and defeat the Devil in our lives and to activate our SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY of His Spirit of Christ within us. True!
The Bible counsels thus:
And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For IF these things BE in you, and ABOUND, they MAKE you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that LACKS these things is blind, and CANNOT see afar off, and has forgotten that he was PURGED from his old sins. (2 Peter 1:5-9; 2 Peter 1:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Corinthians 12).
Do you get it?
If we must WALK (relate) with and WORK (response) to God, the way we are expected to, you and I must make conscious efforts to activate our individual spiritual senses by the help and operations of the Holy Spirit within us. True!
Now, know and note that the way you CANNOT truly survive and thrive on Earth without your physical five senses in good conditions and functions, likewise, you CANNOT truly survive and thrive on Earth without your spiritual five senses in good conditions and functions. True!
Spiritual SENSITIVITY in Christ in this World by the activities and operations of the SPIRIT of GOD within you is a must for you as a genuine child of God, who wants to live victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily in Christ (to please God) in this World. True!
Why do I say so?
1. Because ENLIGHTENMENT wise (with your spiritual eyes), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God, to be spiritually SENSITIVE to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!
That is why Apostle Paul prayed thus:
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the SPIRIT of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The EYES of your understanding being ENLIGHTENED; that you may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:15-23; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Like your physical eyes, your SPIRITUAL EYES must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to SEE promptly, the spiritual "SIGNALS" from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.
Take note, take heed!
2. Because IMAGINATION wise (with your spiritual ears), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God, to be spiritually SENSITIVE to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalts itself against the KNOWLEDGE of GOD, and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Romans 10:1-17; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Romans 12:1,2).
What you consistently hear, creates imaginations (invisible images) in your spiritual mind. True!
Recall, faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God, creating divine invisible images in your spiritual mind to hold on to. (Romans 10:17; Philippians 4:8,9; 1 Corinthians 15:33).
Like your physical ears, your SPIRITUAL EARS must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to HEAR promptly, the spiritual "MESSAGES" from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.
Take note, take heed!
3. Because PERCEIVING (discerning) wise (with your spiritual noses), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God, to be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Which when Jesus PERCEIVED, he said unto them, O you of little faith, why reason you among yourselves, because you have brought no bread? Do you not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? (Matthew 16:5-9; Acts 10:34,35).
Like your physical noses, your SPIRITUAL NOSES must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to PERCEIVE (disern) promptly, the spiritual "SMELLS " from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.
Take note, take note!
4. Because INSPIRATION wise (with your spiritual tongue), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God, to be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and you are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion. I said, days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty gives them understanding. (Job 32:6-8).
Like your physical tongue, your SPIRITUAL TONGUE must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to TASTE promptly, the spiritual "FOODS" of the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.
Take note, take heed!
5. Because PROMPTING (quickening) wise (with your spiritual skin), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God, to be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, does this offend you? What and if you shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before? It is the SPIRIT that QUICKENS; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:61-63).
Like your physical skin, your SPIRITUAL SKIN must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to FEEL promptly, the spiritual "EMOTIONS" from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.
Take note, take heed!
The Bible reveals thus this truth as you and I ADVANTAGE in Christ in this World:
But as it is written, EYES has not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which GOD has PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. But God has REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches ALL things, yes, the DEEP things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows NO man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that WE might KNOW the THINGS that are freely GIVEN to us of God. Which things also we speak, NOT in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives NOT the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: NEITHER can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is SPIRITUAL judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 1:3-7; Romans 8:1-30).
Do you get it?
Are you taking advantage of the Holy Spirit of Christ within you?
Think about it and do something about it!
Again, let me emphasize here that Spiritual SENSITIVE in Christ in this World by the activities and operations of the SPIRIT of GOD within us is a must for you and I, who are genuine children of God in Christ in this World and who wants to live victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily in Christ (to please God) in this World. True!
The Bible counsels thus:
SEE then that you walk CIRCUMSPECTLY (carefully), not as fools, but as wise, REDEEMING the time, because the DAYS are EVIL. Wherefore be you NOT unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the SPIRIT; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:15-21).
Do you get it?
Furthermore, apart from living in godly PURITY in Christ in this World to activate your spiritual SENSITIVITY, you also can activate it by:
2. Living by godly PRINCIPLES in Christ in this World. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; Philippians 4:8,9).
3. Living in godly PRAYER in Christ in this World. (Philippians 4:6; Luke 18:1-8).
4. Living in godly PEACE in Christ in this World. (Hebrews 12:14).
5. Living in godly PURPOSE in Christ in this World. (Luke 4:16-21).
6. Living in godly POWER in Christ in this World. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2).
7. Living in godly PERFORMACE in Christ in this World. (Acts 10:38).
8. Living in godly PROSPERITY in Christ in this World. (1 Timothy 6:6-12; Philippians 4:5).
9. Living in godly PROGRESS in Christ in this World. (Philippians 3:13,14).
10. Living in godly POSTERITY in Christ in this World. (John 17:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
Do you get it?
In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHERE you need to go or not to go to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!
In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHO you need to relate (deal) or not to relate (deal) with to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!
In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHAT you need to do (get involved) or not to do (get involved) in to be victorious, successful and satisfIED in Christ in 2017. True!
In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHEN you need to act and not to act to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!
In 2017, you need to spiritually know HOW you need to or not to think, speak and act to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!
This is one of the primary responsibilities of the Holy Spirit in our lives in Christ in this World. True!
That is why the Bible reveals thus:
1. For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14).
2. But if you be LED of the Spirit, you are NOT under the law. (Galatians 5:18).
Think about it and do something about it urgently!
2017...you & I, NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS!
God bless you.
