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.

A WALK ON WATER

Hey, guys hope y'all are doing good. I’m going to be sharing what God is speaking to me in the blog every week, so stay tuned and come back to get a word of encouragement and revelation from God. Also, the blog is in the form of a podcast. You can find the links to the podcast in the podcast tab. All of this aside, let’s get to the blog. When you think of the season that we as the whole world are going through with the widespread of the covid virus, it’s as though we were given no time to even think about what was happening. It was like a wave that hit us, we never expected. A similar situation is where the disciples find themselves in Matthew 14:22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. The word immediately shows the transition from one of the greatest miracles performed by Jesus to a stormy and wavy sea they never expected. They had no time to process the miracle, ye

WHO ARE YOU?

Many questions in our life are unanswered, some to which we don’t even try finding the answers. ‘Who are you?’ is one such question. If we are to ask 10 random people this question- “who are you?”, I believe only 2 of them will be able to answer this question. I mean a definitive answer and not a vague answer. I was one of those people who didn’t know a definitive answer to the question ‘who are you?’. When someone was to ask this question, I would say I am that and this, but never know who I was. I didn’t even try to find the answer to this question.  There came a point in my life when I realized something that lead me to find the answer to the unanswered question of my life. As I found myself battling against the evil forces at work against my life, I realized that 70-75% of the battles I fought against the enemy was because I didn’t know who I was and this ignorance was the entry point for the devil to my life. After this, I realized that I was wasting my time fighting unwanted batt

KNOW THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE

As we take on each day of our lives, we sometimes find ourselves stuck in some situations or some emotions. There were times when I questioned God why all this happens. Why do I not find myself moving forward although the days just go by? In those moments of our life we just feel as though we have lost our way and just can’t hear the voice of god in our lives. In those places of our lives we just feel as though we are in the middle of nowhere. Maybe as you are reading this, you are in one of those moments of your life. But I want to encourage you and say that there is still hope in Jesus and that this situation is so much different when we see it from “God’s eye view”. Let me explain what I really mean by “God’s eye view”. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.                                                                                                              John 10:4
