SPIRIT RULED BODY !

SPIRIT RULED BODY: It takes time to train the human spirit, and because of the sin nature Satan has had plenty of time to shape and develop all humanity to be bodily ruled spirits. But thank God that he sent his son in the likeness of sinful flesh and condemning sin in the flesh. "And if Christ be in you, (and if the Word of Christ continues in you, the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousness "(Romans 8:10). But God's Word are spirit life. It is a process of training the human spirit to believe what you say will come to pass. Say only the things that you believe will come to pass. Quit talking foolishness, sickness, and disease, quit saying, "That tickles me to death." Satan has programmed death into the human vocabulary. It ought not to be so, for it will sap your faith. Begin now to stop the enemy from using your vocabulary to hold you in bondage. Study the life of Christ, and you will find that He refused to confess or admit death. You remember when He went to raise Lazarus from the dead, He wouldn't confess he was dead. He said, He sleepeth. Finally, He said to His disciples, He is dead (John 11:14). But the Greek says, "died." There is a great difference between a man that died and one that is dead. If you do not believe that, look at Jesus. He died; but, thank God, He is not dead ! Learn to control your vocabulary and never speak anything that you don't want to come to pass. Someone says, "I could never do that." If the word says you can (and it does), then you can; but it will take some time to get all that old unbelief out so you can speak faith filled words. TRAINING THE BODY: your body is like a child; you can train it to obeyed your words. You have train that old dog it your house to do certain things, or maybe your cat or bird. James says that you can train every beast, bird, serpent, and things in the sea. Mankind by his natural ability can train a dog, a bird, or any beast. It is the repeating over and over all of the same name until the dog comes when you say that name. You train animals with words. Now what makes you think that your body is less intelligent than a dog ? What makes you think that you can't train the human body to obey the voice of your spirit by the words of your mouth ? It can be done, for the body was designed to be obedient to words. This process is called the renewing of your mind. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:1- 2)
