A SHIFT FROM THE NATURAL TO THE SPIRIT
Philippians 4:19 / But my GOD shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by CHRIST JESUS.
Before our LORD & SAVIOR returns, Scripture tells us that perilous times shall come. Everything (but GOD!) would change suddenly. And because of the uncertainty of the shift and the failure to understand what to do, men’s hearts are failing them.
Deception is the main weapon of the enemy. The HOLY SPIRIT warns us to watch, fight and pray and to judge ourselves that we may be found in the true faith of our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. In HIS name, and only through the power of HIS blood, can men be born again and delivered from the destruction of eternal death. You must believe Romans 10:9-10 to be saved!
The Bible tells us that man should not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD. JESUS tells us in John 6:63, "It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT and they are life."
Spend time to feed your spirit man with GOD’S WORD. This is the only way to starve all your fears and doubts to death. Paul, the Apostle, spoke a great word of deliverance concerning these days we are now living in. He said in Galatians 2:20, “I am crucified with CHRIST: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the SON OF GOD, who loved me, and gave HIMSELF for me.”
Remember that no man comes to GOD but through HIS SON JESUS. We can not be moved by the things we hear, see and feel in the physical realm. Trying to maintain your sanity and have some type of peace and happiness in this world outside of surrendering your life to JESUS CHRIST will only lead to self-deception and destruction. There are no quick fixes that will work. The WORD tells us in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Don’t let knowledge, political powers, and the false security that is found in money become the very tools to damn your soul and cut you off from the will of almighty GOD. HE is drawing us closer to HIM. HIS heart is truly crying out to us all to deny ourselves and take up the life of suffering (as HIS SON did!) so that we will not lose our lives but gain eternal life.
In 1st Kings 17, GOD called for a famine to come upon the land. Amid a drought causing people to struggle for daily survival, GOD broke natural laws to take care of HIS prophet by commanding a flesh-eating bird to bring Elijah meat. Like Elijah, we must learn in the days ahead to trust in GOD’S grace and mercy to shift the natural order of things by HIS supernatural power. We must understand that GOD will break HIS natural laws in this season when we repent of our personal sins and the sins of this nation.
Only GOD in the name of JESUS can answer prayers supernaturally and manifest blessings in the natural to save HIS people. The shift is here!
Keep reaching out by faith to receive the natural/supernatural move of GOD.
In HIS service,
