SPIRIT-- RULED BODY !

SPIRIT-- RULED BODY ! The Greek word translated physical body means "slave." The physical body should be a slave to the human spirit; not the human spirit "slave" to your body ! I call it bodily ruled people. Sin causes the human spirit to lose control over the body because Adam became a spiritually dead man the day he sinned. He became body- ruled, not spirit ruled; and he gained the sensual knowledge that caused his body to rebel against his spirit. That's why, people who say they are believers act and say the things that they do and say. That's why we must be born again in order to enter into the kingdom of heaven. The spirit man was dethroned that very hour; the human spirit lost its authority and ability to rule the body. Sin took control of the flesh. The body rose up and begin to rule over the spirit. We can now understand what Paul said in (Romans 8:6): "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritual minded is life and peace." "To be spiritually minded is to be spirit- ruled, and it produces life and peace", for God designed you and me that way."For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). What is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus ? Jesus Is the Word; so the law of the Spirit of life is the law of faith and faith in God only comes by hearing and by hearing The Word of God ! God's law that produces spirit life (which is eternal life) in Christ made your spirit free from the spiritual death caused by sin. "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:3-4). The Mosaic Law was given for people who were bodily ruled. Bodily ruled people can't obey the law of God because God wants one thing and their bodies want another. The flesh is weak; and the spirit is willing: the carnal mind it is not subject to God's law [which is the law of faith]. All men from Moses to Adam were bodily ruled; there spirits were slaves to their bodies. It was as a satanic chain that enslaves all mankind. People today, who still club, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or marijuana, among other things are bodily ruled people. There is eternal life in God's Word because it is the incorruptible seed. You and I should desire the sincere milk Of God's Word that you may grow thereby. It is written; "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
