Romans 8:14 NKJV
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Beloved,
The training of your spirit must be of higher importance to you than the training of your flesh. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I recently ministered a series entitled The Total Man. In it, I share with what the Holy Spirit establishes for us in His word:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
It is critical that we take care of our bodies. Likewise, it is just as critical we care of our minds. Our mental health matters to Him. He tells us in His Word:
2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
He also says the following to demonstrate His passionate commitment and care concerning our minds:
Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Every aspect of your life is valuable to God. As His word says:
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 NLT
Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.
Your mind is what will make you believe the promises of God concerning your life. It is your regenerated mind that will help you to partner with the Holy Ghost to fulfill your God-given destiny.
Likewise, your body is the vehicle required for the Holy Spirit to move and carry out His affairs on the earth as He abides in full fellowship with your spirit.
As we round up this series on living supernaturally, we must talk about your spirit. You must be willing to surrender your mind, body, and spirit to the Spirit of the Living God if you will truly walk supernaturally. Your spirit must be in a good shape to enjoy the sensitivity required to be fully yielded to His. You achieve this when you:
- Meditate on God’s word daily.
- Fellowship with right minded people.
- Change your environment from negative to positive.
- Cut away people who do not speak the same language as you.
- Believe what you declare.
- Have a vision to guide your life.
- Are expectant.
- Engage the help of the Holy Spirit in search of answers.
- Pray more in the Holy Ghost.
Be sure to service your relationship with Christ Jesus. In doing so, you will by default fulfill all righteousness when it comes to what you think, say, and do. Make use of all that has been given to you so that you might continue to develop your capacity, mind, body, and spirit, and begin to live the supernatural life.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
