Let us not bypass the Spiritual and only consider the physical!
If you are unaware of the Spiritual, you will have difficulty understanding the physical events set before you.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us in Christ with every Spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places,
Our blessings originate in Heavenly places before they manifest in the physical realm.
Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 9:
1 And getting into a boat He crossed over and came to His own city.
Jesus had just healed two men with demons in the region of the Gadarenes. Jesus had received the directive from FATHER, but the god of the world tried to stop the trip with a perilous storm. Jesus took authority over the physical since He had already been given such authority in the Spiritual realm.
2 And behold, some people brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take heart, My son; your sins are forgiven.”
Once again, Jesus first dealt with the spiritual issue which was preventing Spiritual blessings. Once the spiritual blockade was removed, the paralytic would receive his restoration.
3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” 4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”-he then said to the paralytic-“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.”
7 And he rose and went home.
8 When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, Who had given such authority to men.
Spiritual authority precedes the physical! We are meant to focus on THE SPIRIT so that we will walk with every Spiritual blessing given to us by Christ.
As Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 1:
4 even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before Him.
Our Holiness is key to walking in Spiritual blessings. Do you think FATHER would grant Spiritual blessings to those who would consume them on themselves? We must be reliable and trustworthy in order to fulfill what was predestined for us individually.
I thank GOD that HE chose you and me for such a privilege to be Holy and blameless before HIM! Our focus must be on Jesus Christ in Whom all Spiritual blessings come through. It is all about Christ, not us. The adversary knows this, and it is why there is such persecution toward those who exalt Christ in their lives.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 3:
13 Yet, Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed the curse completely as he became a curse in our place. For it is written: “Everyone who is hung upon a tree is cursed.”
14 Jesus Christ dissolved the curse from our lives, so that in Him all the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon gentiles. And now through faith we receive the promised Holy Spirit Who lives in us.
By grace are we able to receive Spiritual blessings and it is only by Our Lord Jesus Christ Who paid the FULL price. None of our works could accomplish what Christ did for us. This is why we are to give glory and honor to Our Lord Jesus Christ in all blessings that manifest in our lives. We must never exalt ourselves by attaching our own prowess and abilities to successes in life.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Titus chapter 2:
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and Godly lives in the present age,
13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works.
As we focus on these Spiritual Truths, the physical will align itself in our lives.
