Are we trying to reach GOD soulishly or by the spirit?
Where does your confidence lie? Our confidence is a firm trust and relying on GOD.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Job chapter 4:
6 Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?
Where you place your confidence determines in what or whom you worship and reverence. The world wants you to worship anything or anyone rather than Our Heavenly Father. Your focus of worship determines your path to the future, whether it be blessing or cursing.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:
16 God has transmitted His very Substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by Its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness. 17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.
There are two aspects of HIS Word: the Logos (written), and the rhḗma Word (spoken). Both are vital to our spiritual growth.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 4:
4 Jesus answered, “The Scriptures say: Bread alone will not satisfy, but true Life is found in every Word that constantly goes forth from God’s Mouth.”
Our spiritual progress is determined by where we place our daily priorities. Do you think once a week is sufficient for spiritual growth? Is this why so many Christians in church do not mature? Do pastors simply provide soulish solutions that are focused on “life coaching”?
Jesus also spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
You and I should be treasure hunters but for the right treasure.
David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 16:
11 You will show me the path of life; In Your Presence is fullness of joy; At Your Right Hand are Divine pleasures forevermore.
Do you want success in all aspects of your life? We must seek to be in HIS Presence for our joy to be full.
Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 27:
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud Voice, and yielded up His Spirit.
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
Jesus, at His death and resurrection, restored full access to the Holy of Holies for you and me. In the past, we focused on our unworthiness rather than on Our High Priest Who presented His Blood to enable our access to Our Heavenly Father. Are you satisfied to be at a distance from the Life-giving power of Our Heavenly Father? Are you satisfied with remaining at the outer court or even The Holy Place?
We cannot focus on feeding our soul and expect to gain entrance to the Holy of Holies. If we will develop our spiritual walk, we will be able to enter into the Holy of Holies and experience the fullness of joy! Who told you that you couldn’t enter in?
