Of The Spirit

Wars, politics and famine are only but a distraction of what goes on underneath our very eyes. Not everyone can understand these things but we all see it. It is useless to see without understanding. It is the same as not seeing at all.

         FN: Believing takes the grace of God.

You can scream in your heart how 'churchy' or religious this is.
Without prayer and fasting our soul are most likely doomed to fail to reach its destination: heaven.

"For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age." Ephesians 6: 12.

Everyone's fighting this battle: knowingly or unknowingly.
You cannot be in the middle. If you are not fighting on the side of God; you are fighting for the devil. Which means, even those that do not fight for God or the devil, are also fighting for the devil.

"Anyone who is not for me is really against me; anyone who does not help me gather is really scattering." Matthew 12: 30.

Imagine someone: he's drunk and he has almost no control over his mind and the flood gates which are supposed to be his inhibitions are gone... The exact opposite is what fasting does to the body. Ironic, in the fact that you're supposed to be hungry and starving, but it gains you the much needed control over the starving body. You can even choose to starve to death and it wouldn't have been a big deal. For in that state, one has clarity of mind. A scientist would take me up on this and the experiment on this, would come out flawed, for it is the spirit of God that helps us on such endeavor.

"Sin must no longer rule in your mortal bodies, so that you obey the desires of your natural self. Nor must you surrender any part of yourselves to sin to be used for wicked purposes. Instead, give yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes. Sin must not be your master; for you do not live under law but under God's grace." Romans 6: 12 - 14.
