Difference between Spiritual and Psychical Growth 2

Welcome brothers and sister to another Bible Teachings, today we are continuing where the last time talks of Psychical growth that is natural for our bodies, yet can sometimes be bad for our souls. This time we will talk deeply with the Spiritual side, this along with how we behave, act, or think will effect ourselves when our time comes. Many of us would say it doesn't matter and time is short. But we must also reexamine this claim since we are talking about our souls and Holy Spirit that all Christians, Saints and Believers has to have in our daily life. To understand this with clarity, we must break down what our spiritual looks like for each parts of our body and how they effect us when our psychical bodies connected to our spiritual bodies with Christ Jesus. If there is any opinions or corrections to these please state them in your reviews or private chats.

Spiritual Growth

First let's talk about our spiritual growth and how this looks like, or more accurately how it look like for general Christians, Saint and Believers. This is because many of us are empowered by the Holy Spirit when we submit to God and worship him as our creator. Second to take note is how when given Spiritual growth, each of us are uniquely different from the last, each one of us are meant for specific purpose that glorifies Lord Jesus. Showing how he works in us and changes in our daily living, this is mention through the old and new testament of the Holy Bible. Many of which are told by men inspired by God how each of them are given the Holy Spirit and are directed by God to live their lives and how our purpose is fulfilled through him. This means each of us truly commit to Christ Jesus has an unique living that's given by the Holy Spirit though Christ Followers.

At the same time, we must also considered how when living outside of God and how many of us Christians, Saints, and Believers that live can have Secrets sins destroying us on both Spiritual and Psychical growth. What's important to note is how our secret sins is sometimes the cause for many Christians, Saints and Believers to be weaken in spirit as the first stage living in sin. God knows everything and for us to try and carry secret sins that we only know is not acceptable, this along with unrepentant sins weakens the Holy Spirit in our lives and groans it. This is because when God sees our secret sins, he chasten us for our good, discipline for our actions. Like spanking a child for clarity, as our spirit weakens in our daily life. If continuing this sin it would soon transform into sickness that makes us ill beyond reason or understanding. Yet despite this we still have a chance to repent for our sins and turn to God. But continuing this further and death doors will happen, I mean this in literal sense because we take our sins for granted, God chasten us for because of our sins.

Sins in our lives weakens us and disconnect us towards God, something many of us including modern Christians, Saints and Believers take for granted. If we aren't careful not only will we experience life without God, for many of us turned to Christ will experience 3 stages before finally death arrives. How we live in body effects our spirits and if we don't take heed of God's commands we are as sinful as the rest of this world. The difference is even as Christians, Saints and Believers we know our life is sin, yet surrendering ourselves to God through repentance is the first steps of changing our lives and living as God intended. If anything God wants everyone to have this life he offers to us, yet many will reject and turn away from God.

Another thing to consider is by the Holy Words from the Bible we are listening to God in his words, yet we tend to not live on these actions or be sensitive to the Holy Spirit as we should be all of our lives as Christ Followers. I won't lie that it will be easy, in fact many things or at least good amount of God's ways are hard. Yet through the Holy Spirit we can do many wonders that are uncommon for many of us. Not to the level of Jesus Christ mind you, that's different because of who Jesus truly is and how through him we are living in truth, light and righteousness. Even then being sensitive to the Holy Spirit heeding the words, then living by them is showing our love to Christ Jesus. For how we act on everyday life will show if your in the Holy Spirit or not.

Spiritual Body

The next thing to considered is our everything we chose to live or act upon also effects our spirits. First to considered is how we eat, see, touch, or anything of our bodies effects our spirits in ways we cannot or not always understand. One most disturbing common sin is sexual immorality. Yes I am bringing this topic up because let's face it many of us and many things in general have made this too common that when we look at tv shows, phones or any electronics we can easily see these things and we don't resist them. This action outside of marriage is Sexual Immortality, the most common way to not only defile our bodies, but also ruin our spirits that are suppose to be Holy Temples of God. For us to commonly cast this warning away and be insensitive to the Holy Spirit shows in our actions and unwillingness to flee or resist temptation.

Now I won't say this is easy, in fact many of us are at fault for given in easily or have committed this sin. Yet it has became common in our daily society no matter where you are, that even when we're single we tend to look them up and just want to feel good for that moment. I know this feeling and I can honestly say for many guys, girls all around that it's something we use to try and feel good for that one moment. Yet when it's all said and done you are left with emptiness that can't be removed or filled. Even those who are married or are just dating as boy/girlfriend for couples can sometimes cheat with other men or women because you wanted to feel good for a moment.

Those kinds of Sexual Immortal is one that God hates most. Now God usually doesn't show hate for something, yet when it comes to sin he can be loving and compassionate towards sinners, but must uphold his holiness and righteous living as God truly is and will be forever. Which is why despite God not wanting anyone to perish in flaming pits of hell, he many of our choices has led us towards this path. Those of us reborn again has to preserve our bodies as temples of God, because we are suppose to show his presence in us and made example for this world filled with evil, hopelessness, and other unsaid words. Yet among them defiling ourselves by sexual Immorality effects our body both psychical and spiritual ways we can't see in our current life.

While there is much our bodies will be made account in our lives, this subject is not most talk about or at least given more thought since many young and old still live this way seeking pleasure for themselves. As of many Christians, Saints and Believers we are held more accountable as our lives should reflect how God lives in us. Our bodies, way of living is part of how God changes us, even our words we speak has to place with much consideration and care for what we say and how we act.

Spiritual Mind/Heart

Already from this your wondering "What do you mean both mind and heart", to answer have you considered what our hearts are like and how we act along with our minds? First to know is our Hearts are desperately wicked, now for some of you knowing some stories I write here in Fanfic I do like Kingdom Hearts and some of you have watch or read stories about powers of friendships, or even mentions of our own strength of will, sometimes family and love is greater in fiction. Here I am telling you that God see our hearts without him as terribly wicked in his sights and how many who can be our friends, family and loved ones can lead us astray. Now that doesn't mean they are your enemies or avoid them. God wants us to honor our parents and compassion towards people friends, stranger, enemies alike. But know that the bottom line is our hearts are born wicked, meaning we are born sinners. It's only when submitting to God/Surrendering everything of ourselves to God is when we're reborn anew.

Our hearts also effect how our minds work, because both are working together that make up us as thinkers and feelings towards people, actions and ways of life. We sometimes have thoughts or feelings about something we wouldn't want to think about or know it's wrong. Even our feelings towards someone that does us wrong, we try not to feel this way. It's normal for these reactions or ways of acting in that moment. Yet when we express them or hide them in ourselves we unknowingly or knowingly hide things that God finds displeasing. Our minds and hearts are to be pure and holy in his sights, now for us to have them is unavoidable cause sometimes they are brought up without control or warning. But if you act upon them or try to cause harm to others, even when you know is wrong shows how your state of heart and mind currently is or how you can sometimes disregard others when your not sensitive to not only others, but to the Holy Spirit.

Now I'm saying everything we do is right or wrong intentionally. Sometimes when things are place in our minds or heart we tend to react to them. However there are times our minds and heart can be influence by unseen spirits of both Angels and demons. More accurately called Angelic Spirits and intelligent fallen beings, as a side note when mentioning words in the Bible or present day they are translated with different meanings, for demons is it suppose to sound like Daemon or in another translation Intelligent beings. There are those who know this better, but the point being sometimes when we don't want things influence our minds, unseen spirits both good and evil can place them inside without any way of defense except for the Holy Spirit provided to us. Knowing the words through devotion and memorizing truly helps us as they are used to measure how spiritual weapons in the Spiritual warfare unseen by all humans.

Spiritual Will

Rather you want to admit it or not, we have our own freewill. God created this because he wanted those to worship him freely by our own choice. Yet this choice is what lead mankind into sin we currently live from Adam and Eve to now. This meant we do have freedom of choice, yet this choice is what leads us down the wrong path, that only God can change when we submit ourselves to our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Many times people with either say "it doesn't matter we still have time and can do whatever we want" or in other cases "we don't have a choice we are predestine or fated for this life" or in some other matter "there is no need to worry, your still a good person and there is no heaven or hell".

Regardless of these opinions, the first would imply our life is short and we must live like the world, and have no care for anyone except our own goals and ambitions. The second implies, we are doom no matter what we do and can be nihilist about anything cause we're right. Then the third implies, all people are good no matter what we do and there is no such thing as bad or evil. Everyone of these or anything that is by human understanding is trying to live outside of God. For the first we are saying God is last and in our belly as the past days would call it, and we can live freely because we are better or more important then the guy next to us or whoever we see. The second is saying we are meant to die and there is no point to it making me smarter then everyone, this may make you right but your also wrong and your not implying God's word in life. Then the third is similar to how children shows say everyone is a good person or everyone can be good and all life is less complicated.

Many of these ideas needs wake up calls, cause through God's eye your doing exactly by your own freewill and choice. Meaning everyone that lives outside of God, lives by sinful ways and always denies God for who he is and truly is meant for worship forcing our standard of right and wrong. We already chose ourselves over God, us doing bad things is choice, denying God is choice, and knowing we are destine for Hell and destruction, but still do nothing about it is choice. So in a way no matter what you do it's still free will and choice, but the end result is either we are followers of Christ or followers of this world. Makes you realize about yourself and how many of us behave when not acting like Christians, Saints, or believers. Even for many who want to be followers of Christ or new believers you can look back and realizes this was your old life and choices. So yes Spiritual Will is free of choice, but for choosing God first and slowly allowing God to rule over your life. This may sound bad, but it's not for harm, instead it's for our good. For God is good all the time.

Souls turned into Spiritual holiness

One thing to make clear of this, is we have souls or spirits in ourselves. This is what makes us human and God given creatures that are meant for much greater things then what the world of sin made of today. The difference is our souls without God is the result of Sin. Disconnection from God leaving his words mute or unheard if God didn't allow us to know his Holy words from the Bible. Our souls are suppose to be temples of God and represent God in his image, with his overwhelming spirit allows us to accomplish things we wouldn't do or have known in our own strength. Yet our sin has rob us of this connection and us living this life are doing what God commends us to reconnect to God once more. Now to be frank no matter how many years of experience or years of dedication we will always make mistakes. This is because our sinful flesh is trying to satisfied itself from God's way.

In the new testament, Paul speaks of Discipling his body. This shows us that our bodies will do everything it can to fight the Holy Spirit because it wants to serve itself. When saying you cannot serve two masters, this implies to our fleshly bodies or our Spiritual bodies through Christ. Creating two masters of this world, which you serve is what makes your soul into holiness through the Holy Spirit or our corruptions leading to damnation towards Hell. Know that your body and soul are always link two of the same, the only difference will be when serving God our souls will be pure once more after our life ends on this earth, and anyone that doesn't preserve, kept ourselves holy, show compassion or love towards others and most importantly our Lord Jesus as worship. There will be judgement day, but not the right kind.

Folks there is much we need to consider, and how we behave, treat others or act on our own privately or secret will matter. If we're careless, we live foolishly and are meant to die as fool. Don't allow what others say or this world change you from being what God intended for you and everyone around you. Be sensitive, be considerate, be compassionate, be what God wants us to be and live by his words in truth, justified, righteous living and spread the good news to all that can hear and see. What we do matters and how our purified spirits are represented matters now and to eternity.
