Pneumatology

Why don't you ever hear about this? If you research it, people talk about the study of the Holy Spirit. But that's not what I want to blog about. The study of the spirit. Your spirit. Do you ever think about yourself as a spirit? God does.

You are not of the flesh. Are you a body? You are not of the mind. Are you a soul? You are of the spirit! The Spirit testifies that your spirit is a child of God. How do you not sin? Through the spirit! You cannot...it will not happen...it is impossible... you will NEVER live holy through the flesh. Flesh is death. Spirit is life.

Why do people focus on how to not sin? Without the law, sin is dead. Since you are of the spirit, and not of the flesh, why do you seek to solve your problems in the flesh? The flesh destroyed our relationship with God! The only thing it gave us was sickness and disease. DEATH! Why do we cater to the one thing that destroys us?

Satan loves flesh. He has none of his own and likes to use yours. Satan cannot kill, steal and destroy through your spirit. In fact, he flees from those who stand against him. I am disgusted at my flesh. What it wants. What it wishes. What is desires.

I am blessed to have the wants, wishes and desires of my Lord. I am so glad He gives me the desires of my heart. That verse doesn't say he'll give you the desires IN your heart. It says he'll give you the desires of your heart. As in he will PRODUCE the desires of your heart. Have you ever thought of that?

Ps 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall [make, assign, bestow, cause, direct,] the desires of thine heart.

God CAUSES my desires. Not unto death, but unto life. I am of the SPIRIT!

Do you know what it means to delight yourself in something? Let me write that first part of Ps 37 again: Delight [Make soft and pliable] yourself for the Lord. Sounds to me like Romans 12:1&2. (Be not conformed to this world AKA Do not delight yourself to this world)

I want to write so much more but I'll leave you with this little bit. Study the Word of God. You'll be amazed at the gifts God gave you (including your desires). I'll try to write more later. Live in the spirit. God bless.
