I can count time and time again how people ask me if I have a boyfriend.
How come nobody ask me about my relationship with God?
How is my relationship status with a man more important than my relationship with the Lord?

I have been starving you guys,
My spirit man is so anorexic cos I wasn’t feeding it with the word.
I am still a babe in Christ,
why doesn’t that bother you?

A man can’t quench this thirst..
My life is not for me..
it’s for God.

Until my heart is content in God,
I will be wasting his time!

Love the Lord with all your SOUL!

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

What is our Soul? Why does God want us to love him with all our soul?

Matthew and Mark resonate the same question.. what can a man give in exchange of his soul??

Luke 2:35- sword piercing through the soul and revealing our thoughts.

Rom 13:1- says let every soul be subject to authorities. In other words, let every man be subject to God.

It seems our soul is the real us ppl don’t get to  see.

Our soul is capable of emotions according to Luke 1:46 (mary praising  God)  and John 12:27 (soul is troubled).

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV-“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

According to the verse above, we see the trinity. According to Genesis 1:26-God created us in our own image. God is 3 in One. God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit. If we were created in God’s image, we are similar to God. Of course, we are just mortals, we don’t possess immortal abilities as God. Our spiritual body is the body that will operate when it comes to eternity. What you do with your soul now on earth determines where your spirit will spend eternity.

We are spirit, soul and body. Our body we can clearly see but our souls and spirit we can’t. When we die, our spirit will separate from our bodies.

Back to soul.. What is our soul? In reference to 1 Thess 5:23-our soul is the real us, we don’t see.

Heb 4:12.. Talks about how the word can divide the soul from the spirit?

1 Peter 2:11 says lets flee lust and other things that wars against our soul. This verse indicates that the enemy is also interested in our soul. If he wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t war against our soul.

Of course, I need to do more studying on this topic.

From this brief study, it seems our soul is the real us we don’t get to see and others too. You know how ppl say the real person will come out. Our soul in other words is our inner man that is really who we are. People can act a certain way to hide who they really are but the person on the inside (soul) is really who they are.
Somehow, the enemy is also interested in our souls. Why?? More to come..

Spiritual Weapons..

As a Christian, I have noticed the enemy attacks these 4 areas:

1. Time with God
2. Studying the word
3. Praying
4. Fasting

These 4 things builds up our spiritual man. Remember, “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they are mighty through God to pull down strongholds.”- 2 Cor 10:4
If these 4 things weren’t powerful, the enemy wouldn’t attack them.

Inner Beauty..

if you can’t love me when I look like this..
You can’t love me when I look like

Love goes beyond mere looks.
Guys, you need to evaluate both the inner and outer beauty.
Outer beauty fades..
Inner beauty is more important cos that never fades.

Guys, Does she love the Lord? Does her character match her looks? Does she dress modestly to protect your mind?

Proverbs 31:30-Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fades;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Love the LOrd with all your HEART..

I Sam 16:7..”God doesn’t look on your outward appearance, but looks at a man’s heart”
what is it about our heart that is so important to God.
If God wants us to love him with all our heart, it must be very important to God.

As we know, we need our physical hearts to survive.
If your physical heart were to stop beating right now, you would be dead in seconds.
Physically, every human being need their physical hearts to survive.

Our physical and spiritual hearts are different.
In Matt 22:37..you shall love the Lord with all your heart.
I think the reference here was to our spiritual heart.

What is a spiritual heart and why is it so important to God?
I looked at Matthew-John

In Matt 6:21 paraphrasing..our heart is with what we treasure.
Matt 13:19 refers to our spiritual heart as a ground and Luke 8:15 referred to it as well.
Luke 8:15 was about that parable of a man that goes to sow seeds and different
seeds fall on different ground. In this verse, it was a good ground.

Mark 6:52..I see our spiritual heart can harden and doubt because of unbelief (Mark 16:14).
Luke 18:1..Men, ought to pray and not lose heart. Heart in this verse, I think means hope, faith.

John 13:2..If you read, you will see that the enemy has access into our hearts to plant seeds.
John 14:1 and 16:22.. Shows we can worry or rejoice with our hearts.

I know, I need to study more to really understand our spiritual heart.
From my studies so far, it seems our spiritual heart is ground that can accept good or bad seeds.
If it accepts good seeds, it will grow a tree that manifest good fruits and that will be manifested by what we say.
Remember Luke 6:45..”out of the abundance of the heart, the month speaks.”

Obviously, the word of God is the seed that is sown in our spiritual heart.
The enemy having access into our spiritual hearts to plant his own seeds is concerning..

To reiterate, our spiritual heart is different from our physical heart.
It is very important to God.
It seems our spiritual heart is capable of growing both good and bad seeds.
The word of God is the spiritual seed we plant in our heart.
The enemy can also plant his own seeds in our spiritual heart.

My knowledge on our spiritual heart is still vague.
Study with me.
Share what you find.

More to come..
