Steps in working with GOD for world activities

In facing of various problems and opportunities, I always do a stage like in this picture.

 (1) When there is a problem or opportunity, then the logic or emotion that is in our soul and brain, we should ask the Lord in our hearts that are filled with the Holy Spirit (2) before we make a decision to do so (3).

  In order for all of our decision that is the best because we ask the Lord considerations that are in our hearts to give the sense/understanding more than just logic. That's what I always do.

 It is different understanding about moral and spiritual. Moral is different every country, tribe, for example, Arabian moral is different in comparison to European or Chinese.

 But the spiritual have to be the same because It have to be from the same resource, the GOD. But the problem many religion have not reach until to spiritual with the true GOD.

 So, the error occur everywhere and it may be the some negative power can occupy people's soul that even do to kill in the name of wrong god.

 

  

Our Spirit: The Eternal Identity

Our spirit is our eternal identity, the eternal identity that already registered in heaven in the name of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. 

With this identity, we have the same spirit as Jesus has gotten from His Father. So, we have the same identity as Jesus as the God's children. 

As the children we have the same chance as what Jesus have accepted from Father. Cause we have one spirit with Jesus Christ, so the eternal life of our "spiritual body", will get also from God until to heaven.

God forms/creates the human spirit

Zechariah 12 A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel. 1. The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares:

It means, the human spirit is very precious.

God knows our heart:

Proverbs 20:27, The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord that sheds light on one’s inmost being.

Job 32:8, But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.

 Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in our heart.

John 14: 15-21

15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

One in spirit with God.

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

1 Corinthians 6:17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

Spirit-spirit communication:

John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” And  John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”

It means, the interaction/communication with GOD by using our spirit and only in the truth is HIS Son (JESUS).

Life by the Spirit and Walking with spirit and do not with flesh

The Spirit interest  versus  Body interest

Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

Fruit of Spirit: Galatians 5

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

23. gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

The Same as Jesus:  We are the God’s Children

 Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

The authority have given to the Son

John 5:20-22

20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 

21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 

22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son.

John 16:28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”

Conclusion

We have our human spirit. Interaction with God in spirit and in the name of Jesus.

Our spirit is the eternal identity. 

As children of God, we have spirit of the son so if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
