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.

! WORRY ! – YOU DON’T NEED THAT

Worry is an emotion that we cannot avoid in our lives, as there is always something in our lives to worry about. Everyone who is reading this is worrying or has been worrying because of the present situation of the world. With the rise of the pandemic in the world, everybody is worried about how they are going to get through another day. Worrying is something all of us do even in the absence of a worldwide pandemic. It is mostly a part of our lives and most of the times we don’t even recognize the fact that we are consumed by worry. We would even find ourselves in situations where we would not be able to do any work at house or where we study just because something else was running at the back of our mind that constantly kept bothering us. It may be some situation we couldn’t figure out a solution for. Anything for that matter it’s not about what keeps us worried but rather the fact that we choose to worry. Do you ever think that you could be someone whose life has everythin...

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...
