The Spirit of
Man
The spirit of man is to
rule and reign in life by one Jesus Christ. The body wears out
because of sin in it. It is corrupted through the Adamic curse
but the spirit lives because of the righteousness of the second
Adam, Jesus Christ, your Lord and saviour. If you will develop
your Spirit as people develop their bodies and minds, your Spirit
will become so strong, it will affect your mortal body. If the
same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that
raised Christ from the dead will quicken (revive – give
life to) your mortal body. (Romans 8v26) The outward man is
decaying, yes but not his functions! Moses was old but his eye
was not dimmed, neither was his natural force abated (decreased)
The patriarchs of old lent upon their staff or rods, a type of My
Spirit. Their staffs supported their weakening bodies. They lent
on them when they got weary. Moses rod did some amazing things if
you will study on it.
I want you to lean on My
Spirit more, speak My Word only and He will bring life to it.
When your body grows weary, lean on My Spirit, pray in the Holy
Ghost and He will refresh you, He will strengthen you, He will
uphold you and keep you from falling with the right hand of His
righteousness, Jesus Christ. Sin weighs heavy in the heart of
unregenerate man and eventually his spirit will lose hope when
sickness and disease afflict his body and when that happens, he
will die in his sin but a man that has received the abundance of
grace and the gift of righteousness, is now in the newness of
life. Old things have passed away.
Through faith in the Word
of God, the Spirit will quicken and revive the mortal body. The
effects of righteousness through one man's obedience (Jesus)
being greater than the effects of one man's disobedience
(Adam) Through this, sin entered the world and with it, death but
righteousness has sprung up in your heart to bring everlasting
life. My people's eyes do not have to fail, their bodies do
not have to slow down, if they will only be obedient and believe
what my Holy Word has promised. The effects of eternal life
within them will energise their mortal bodies and nothing shall
be impossible to them. Consider the patriarchs of old, they are
written down for your example Paul said. Look at Caleb and
Joshua, who through faith alone subdued lands, wrought
righteousness, even at an old age did things which were not
possible and they did not have eternal life within them! The way
My people talk is as if My Spirit is void of power or unwilling
to help and comfort them! Not realising His great love for them,
they have become void of speech. Thinking like this limits the
Holy One of Israel to Whom nothing is impossible. Am I not the
God of all flesh? Note: flesh! - Is anything too difficult for
Me? He wants to mortify the deeds of the body through the power
of the Spirit. To overcome the corruption of the flesh by walking
after the things of the Spirit.
Moses natural force was not
abated. None of his bodily functions went astray. His staff was a
type of My Spirit as I said before, not a walking stick for a
decrepit old man as some seem to think! A staff then held a
different place in a man's life than what it does today.
“Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me” said David.
“I will send you another comforter” said Jesus. Moses
lifted up his staff and Israel prevailed, the Spirit Himself
makes intercession for us. Moses had the Spirit with him. That is
why I told him to stretch out his rod and divide the sea. The rod
(a type of the Spirit) divided the sea. I am with you Moses. My
Spirit responds to the words and actions of a righteous man. A
man who seeks those things that are Jesus Christ's will never
be void of the power of My Spirit. I wish My people would enter
into the rest I have prepared for them that love Me. Let My Word
and Spirit accomplish My purposes. They do not tire, neither do
they grow weary. Man alone cannot accomplish what I have planned
anyway. It is a life of grace, not works. Works by grace, not by
labour. Enter into rest, cease from your own
works...
“Cast all your cares
on Me as you go sailing along
My Word is your boat, My Spirit is your song
Your mouth is your rudder,
My joy is your zeal
If you'll hang on to these two
Your faith the enemy cannot steal! Hold fast your course, be faithful and true
Even in the midst of storms,
I’ll come walking to you
I’ll not let you sink, I’ll propel you along
Guide you in the right direction,
I'll make you strong My Spirit and Word go hand in hand
Bringing you blessings in the promised land
Sing My praises and I'll fill your sail
The enemy's plans will not prevail I'll guide you through reefs, shipwreck you’ll not be
Resist the enemy, he’ll flee from thee
All attacks will be repelled, no pirates on board
Impenetrable defences in My Holy Word
Keep your eyes on Jesus your King
Hoist the mainsail, let His praises ring
Fill up your boat with precious fruit of the land
Until that day before your Lord you will stand
On dry ground in Heaven, you will worship Him
And forever more His praises you’ll sing! Again this lasted from 12 midnight until 1-40 am. Often He has come to me at my darkest hour. I am reminded of when, at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises. Things couldn't get much worse for them, yet at their darkest hour, faith in their God brought a great earthquake, a great victory and the salvation of the jailer and his household! Talk about bring you out on top!
