We
look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:
for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen
are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).
Man
is a spirit; he has a soul and lives in a body. 2 Corinthians 4:16 says, “for
which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man
¡s renewed day by day. The spirit and the soul comprise the inward man. The
body and its senses is what the Bible calls the outward man. With the outward
man, you make contact with the physical world. Your body, that “man” that you
clothe is not you; it’s your domicile—the house where the “real you”—your
spirit lives. This is why you must give premium attention to the development of
your spirit through the Word of God.
God
wants you to consciously live from your spirit. The way to do this is to fix
your gaze on the Word of God, refusing to be moved by the dictates of your
physical senses. For example, the doctors might have said you’d be unable to have
a child due to complications in your body; but remember that your body is not
you! The real you is the
recreated human spirit, which is fashioned after the image of Christ. Thus,
there’s no sickness, weakness, limitation, imperfection, or barrenness of any
kind in your spirit. Therefore all you need do is keep your
focus on Deuteronomy 7:14 that says “thou
shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren
among you, or among your cattle”.
Be
conscious that you’re a spirit being, so refuse to dwell on the pain or growth
you feel in your physical body. Don’t rate yourself on how much you have in
your pocket or in your bank account. See yourself from the perspective of God’s
Word and relate from that realm. Live from inside out, from your spirit which
is the real you! Glory to God!
