SPIRIT-RULED BODY OR BODY RULED SPIRIT:

SPIRIT-RULED BODY OR BODY RULED SPIRIT: The law was given for people who were bodily ruled. Body ruled people can't obey the laws of God because God wants one thing in their body is wants another. The flesh is weak; it is not subject to God's law (Romans 8: 7) "because the call mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." All men from Adam to Moses were bodily ruled; their spirit were slaves to their bodies. It was as a satanic chain that enslaved all mankind. Then Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh. He looked like other men, but God was His father, in other words he had the nature of God the Father and He was spirit ruled. He broke the satanic chain of spirit slavery and condemned sin that had in throne itself in the human body. He destroyed that satanic stronghold and made it possible for men and women to walk in the spirit. The word of God is spirit and it is truth ! "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin but the Spirit is life because of righteousness" (Romans 8:10). When Christ comes into your spirit, in other words when the Word of God gets in your spirit, the body dies; it is dethroned. You certainly don't want something that is dead ruling over you. The body is dead, but the spirit is life because you became righteous. There are so many people who say they are Christians that are spiritually dead but alive to the things of the world because the body is ruling them. That's why they cannot understand the Bible because is dead to them ! The spirit man received the ability to rule the body once again when you submit to the Lordship of Jesus who is the Christ daily. The spirit man grows on the Word of God that is how you build a personal relationship with God the Father and the Son as well as the Holy Spirit. God's Word is filled with faith and that feeds the spirit man. As Satan taught the body to rule over the spirit with words, so must the spirit. "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63). "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." (1 Peter 1:23)
