109 THE SPIRIT BESIDE YOU
109 THE SPIRIT BESIDE YOU
The soul and the spirit world cannot be seen; the physical world around us is the only one we can see, hear, smell and touch; or…..is it?
The physical world is the most evident but is really the least important part of our lives. When God made us a living soul, which was the part that he made in His image. He gave us the ability to make our soul ‘look’ just like Him. We do this by choosing to accept Him and His way; then work at making ourselves into His image.
We exchange our selfish thought process for His loving and merciful one. This means, that every spirit that comes to us has to be evaluated and accepted or rejected for its God like image or its God dislike image.[Whatever we accept, we will become and look like and whatever we reject we will not become and not look like.]
As I said earlier, you are in control; just because we have accepted God as our master and His way as our way with our mouth does not mean that we can give up and do nothing from now on. There is a battle going on in God’s kingdom that we have to participate in. God is allowing His enemy, the devil, to wage war against His people so we can have our love for Him tested and strengthened.
God has made the winning of this war so easy that even the weakest person in all history can overcome and win against the devil. Most people fail and loose to the devil because they want to. They are choosing to ‘look’ like the devil rather than God.
I have italicized the word ‘look’ because you can see the spirit that a soul has chosen to take on and wear by the senses that operate in your physical body, if you want to.
Jesus talked to and cast out many evil or demonic spirits that the religious world did not know were there or were helpless to do anything about them. [If you read the bible you will notice that He only dealt with those evil spirits that the human carriers brought to Him. There were many more spirits that the human carriers decided to keep for themselves that He did not interfere with because He will not interfere with our God given gift of free choice for our own souls. {Judas worked for Jesus for three years while he carried a devil in him.}]
I meet many spirits in my daily routine that I cannot do anything about because the carriers’ want to keep the spirit that they are carrying; however I do not accept those spirits that I do not want to influence me. I do this by passing off remarks that are made that are not proper, by ignoring unhealthy subjects or by making positive statements to a negative comment.
You and I can ‘see’ these bad spirits by questioning and understanding why they do what they do, say what they say and act the way they act. God has given us clear guidelines, in His word, what our conversations should and should not include, how we are to conduct ourselves when we are alone and when we are around others and how to control ourselves to please Him. Those that do what He says because they love Him and ask for His help will show His spirit all the time; whether anyone is watching or not and those that are taking on evil spirits may try to hide them when others are around, but they will let down and show their true nature when they think no one is watching.
A good or a bad spirit will form into a habit that will gradually become harder and harder to hide so, the enemies spirit will soon show itself in someone that has taken it into themselves and, like Judas, there will come a time when it will be obvious to everyone.
