SPIRITUAL SECRETS - FOOD


SPIRITUAL SECRETS is a series of blogs that will give a detailed insight into some of the spiritual secrets that I learned from the holy spirit. 
The first spiritual secret that we are going to see is FOOD. When I say Food, it is not merely the food that we see with our eyes and the food that we consume everyday but rather the food that we often times forget to consume.

Let me start with this topic with a question-what are the basic needs of a human to live on planet earth? Google answers this question with a link from NASA

Here NASA, one of the world renown organisation whose answers are considered legit, says that there are 4 basic needs for a human to survive on this earth and FOOD is one of them. Likewise, it is also the basic need for the spiritual man who we often times forget to feed. But you may ask me “how can you say that the spirit man also needs food?”. Let me take you to Genesis 1:27 and it says like this:


So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Here we see that God created man in His image. So if we need food that means that God also needs food, it’s just that the food that we eat and the food that God eats are so much different. But you may ask how does this explain the fact that our spirit also needs food?

“For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

This verse is from john 4:24 and it says that God is spirit that means our spirit also needs food just like God needs food. Well naturally the next question that will arise is “what is this food that we must be feeding spirit man?”
The answer to that question would be

"I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."
John 6:51
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
john 1:14
 When we examine both of these verses we get 2 facts
1.     Jesus is the living bread (food)
2.     The word became flesh (Jesus)

SO, THIS MEANS THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS THE FOOD FOR THE SPIRIT.


Image result for smelling food cartoonevery Christian reads the word of God but we often times find ourselves in a position where we find the word of God so overwhelming that we most of the times do not get what is actually written in the Bible. I find myself in those situations many times. The reason why this is happening is because the word of God is the food to the spirit not to the flesh. But most of us end up trying to access what’s written in the word of God (Eat the spiritual food) in the physical by reading it just like that. But the truth is that we cannot understand the real truth hidden in the word of if we try to read it in the flesh or the physical. When we do this, it is equal to just smelling the delicious food that is kept before us and not eating it. 

What we really must be doing is that we must access the spirit of God first and then read the word of God with the help of the holy spirit who will feed this spiritual food to our spirit man that we will grow in the spirit. When we do this, we will find ourselves in a position where the word of God will make so much more sense and meaning in our lives. So, the outcome of this blog will be: read the word of God along with the Holy spirit of God.

THE CALLING - Know your enemy

As we are in the journey of learning about ‘the calling’ God has kept over our lives, we need to know about our enemy. The enemy is the one who is always waiting to stop us from doing the will of God in our lives. Therefore, we must have a complete understanding of our enemy and his strategies. This will help us to overcome the oppositions and trials on our way that we may stand in our calling till the end.   Under this topic, I am going to talk, in a practical manner, on what are the things that the devil will bring on our way in the walk with God, how he does that and how to overcome it all. Firstly, let’s look into the solution before we go to the problem, but the truth is that you already know the answer to the problem. Well, if you are wondering what the solution is? The answer is- relationship with God. I have already explained in detail about the various aspects of this relationship we are to have with God. Let me remind you of the 3 things that happen in the relationship w...

THE CALLING - How to?

Welcome to this blog as I continue the series 'THE CALLING'. In the previous blog, we saw in-depth about what the calling of God is. In this blog, we are going to see how to walk in the calling of god over our lives. Now that we have understood ‘what’ the calling of God is and some of the important things about the calling of God over our lives, let us go to Matthew 7:21, where we saw Jesus saying that doing the will of God is the only way to enter heaven and If we read further, the scriptures say like this: On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:22-23 Here we see Jesus saying what He meant when He said ‘WILL OF GOD’ in the previous verse. In other terms, Jesus is saying how we are to stand and pursue the calling of God over our lives. In verse 22, Jesus says that just beca...

Spiritual Secrets | Unforgiveness |

  Unforgiveness is one strong emotion that most of the people tend to carry in their hearts. It is not only a strong emotion but also a very negative one. It is one emotion that has the power to destroy us completely if we allow it to. It is one emotion that we must never carry but we always tend to do because of other people’s actions and reactions to certain situations.   Why I say unforgiveness is very dangerous is because, let’s say that you have not forgiven your friend for betraying you in some situation. You carry unforgiveness in your heart. Although it is your friend who has wronged you and you have done nothing wrong, unforgiveness will only pester you and not your friend. You see this unforgiveness will create a hatred in your heart whenever you think about that person or come across a similar situation. This hatred will soon become anger and will come out and burst out in places and situations that you don’t expect resulting in problems only in your life. And the p...
