Plundered is the soul that thinks it's alone or searching for Love and looking everywhere but Up, yet unable to find what it's so blindly looking for(Isaiah 43:7-21).
Jesus while here on earth and being accused of being a demon spoke,
"Any kingdom where people fight each other will end up ruined. And a town or family that fights will soon destroy itself. So if Satan fights against himself, how can his kingdom last? If I use the power of Beelzebul(a demonic god) to force Out demon, whose power to your own followers us to force them out? Your followers are the ones who will judge you. But when I Force Out demons by the POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT, IT PROVES THAT GOD'S KINDGOM HAS ALREADY COME(Hallelujah)TO you.
How Can anyone breadk into a Strong Man's House(your body/temple/abode) and steal his things, Unless he first ties up the Strong Man? Then he(the thief,killer, destroyer) can Take Everything."-Matthew 12:25-29
Cece winans in her song, "He's not on his knees yet", Ministering to The Hearts and Souls of GOD'S Children brought this Message Home.
Speaking of The Spirit of the Individual you seem to all of a sudden want out of your life because of some superficial at best argument to do exactly whatever the the enemy of GOD and GOD, from the natural state of Mankind which is flesh and blood with it's organs and components of emotions that invoke, provoke or ignite negativity instead of not versus Good.
As soon as One Recognizes the Message Paul is Attempting To Spiritually Educate in Romans chapters 8 and 12 identifying and comparing flesh and Spirit.
"If You Belong To CHRIST JESUS, You Won't[oh that thou would Comprehend in JESUS NAME] be PUNISHED.
The HOLY SPIRIT(Enters Into Your Heart at Repentance and Acceptance of GOD'S WORD and SALVATION) WILL GIVE You LIFE THAT COMES FROM CHRIST JESUS and WILL SET You FREE FROM sin and death(ETERNALLY).
The Law of Moses Could Not DO THIS, because our selfish desires make THE LAW weak, But GOD SET You FREE when HE SENT HIS OWN SON TO BE LIKE us sinners and TO BE A SACRIFICE FOR our sin(no more sheep, bulls, ox, doves, goats, wheat, grains, etc.)
GOD USED CHRIST'S BODY TO COMDEMN sin.
HE DID THIS SO THAT We Could Do What THE LAW COMMANDS by Obeying THE SPIRIT INSTEAD of our own desires.
People who are ruled by their own desires thinkd Only of themselves. Everyone Who Is Ruled BY THE HOLY SPIRIT Thinks About Spiritual Things(Meeting and Pleasing GOD).
If our minds are ruled by our desires, we Will Die(Forever). But
If Our Minds Are Ruled by THE SPIRIT, We Will Have Life and Peace(Forever).
Our desires fight Against GOD, because they do Not and Cannot Obey GOD'S LAWS.
If We follow our desires, we Cannot Please GOD.
You(Those that have died to the flesh & it's desires) Are No longer ruled by your desires(the flesh ones, still have Freedom of Choice but Choose to Obey rather than be burdened by Obeying), But BY GOD'S SPIRIT, WHO LIVES In You(Because You Invited HIM IN when You Confessed your sins and Asked CHRIST TO COME INTO Your Heart), So You Are Alive Because GOD HAS ACCEPTED You, Even though your bodies Must die(phyically also) because of your sins(it is the body that's Condemned to Return to it's beginning which is dust, Your Spirit Was, Is and Will Always BE THE BREATH OF GOD BREATHED INTO THE Nostrils-Genesis 2:7-8 and Returns To GOD after leaving these deteriorating bodies).
Yet, GOD RAISED JESUS TO LIFE! GOD'S SPIRIT NOW LIVES IN You, and HE WILL RAISE You To LIFE BY HIS SPIRIT(ETERNAL LIFE).
My Dear Friends, We Must Not live to satisfy our desires. If you do, you will die. But You Will Live, If By THE HELP OF GOD'S SPIRIT You say 'no' to your desires. Only Those People Who Are LED BY GOD'S SPIRIT ARE HIS Children.
GOD'S SPIRIT DOENS'T MAKE us slaves who are afraid of HIM. Instead,
We Become HIS Children and Call HIM FATHER.
GOD'S SPIRIT MAKES Us Know That We Are HIS Children. HIS SPIRIT Let's Us Know That Together(all creeds, cultures but one race Human) with CHRIST We Will Be GIVEN WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED. We Will Also Share IN THE GLORY OF CHRIST(Truly Be like HIM), Because We Have suffered WITH HIM(by Obeying GOD rather than our desires against HIM)Romans 8:1-12.
Wow, now if GOD'S SPIRIT IS IN You and You Realize what you just Read, I'll pause for ya to get your shout on because You Truly Observe Freedom IN CHRIST not to sin but to choose to avoid it and Live, Love and Be Happy about it.
Now for the Fulfilling of the Promise we'll stay with The Apostle Paul in chapter 12 of the letter he wrote to Rome.
Dear Friends, GOD IS GOOD. So I(Paul) beg you(the church) to Offer Your bodies TO HIM(GOD) as a Living Sacrifice(covering of sin), Pure and Pleasing.
That's the most Sensible Way to Serve GOD.
Don't be like people of this world, but Let GOD CHANGE The Way you Think. Then You Will Know How To Do Everything That is Good and Please To HIM.
I(Paul) Realize How Kind GOD HAS BEEN To Me(Paul), and so I Tall Each Of You(the church) Not to think you are better than You Really Are.
Use Good Sense and Measure Yourself by the Amount of Faith That God Has Given You.
A body is Made Up of many Parts, and each of Them Has Its own use.
That's how it is with us. There Are Many Of Us(Believer's of GOD'S EXISTENCE and WORD), But We Each Are a Part of THE BODY OF CHRIST, As Well as Part of One Another.
GOD HAS ALSO GIVEN Each of Us Different Gifts To Use. If We Can Prophesy, We Should Do It According To the Amount of Faith We Have.
If We Can Serve others, We Should Serve. If We Can Teach, We Should Teach. If We Can Encourage Others, We Should Encourage Them. If We Can Give, We Should Be Generous.
If We are Leaders, We Should Do Our Best. If We are Good To Others, We Should Do It Cheerfully.
Be Sincere in Your Love For Others(don't fake just for favors). Hate Everything that is evil and Hold Tight To Everything That Is Good.
Love Each Other As Brothers and Sisters and Honor Others More than you Do Yourself(our flesh is at constant war with our Spirit, don't predjudice others with the same idiocy).
Never Give Up. Eagerly Follow The HOLY SPIRIT and Serve THE LORD.
Let Your Hope(Spending Life Eterniy With THE GODHEAD, FAMILY AND FRIENDS) Make You Glad(in any situation You're Reminded this too will pass and You Become Glad, but you have to Choose Glad over mad).
Be Patient In Time of trouble and Never Stop Praying.
Take Care of GOD'S Needy People and Welcome strangers Into Your Home(if they knock or ring bell. let them In it's an Opportunity For Everyone To Experience Something Special).
Ask GOD To Bless Everyone who misTreats you. Ask HIM To Bless them and Not to curse them(Love will allow You to Do this and mean it).
When others are Happy, Be Happy With Them, and when They Are sad, Be sad(like-minded, bearing one another's burdens-Romans 15:5 and Galatians 6:2).
Be Friendly To Everyone(not just those friendly to you that's just following the majority, but to be friendly to those no one wants to be friends with is Love in Action)
Don't be proud and feel that you are smarter than others.
Make Friends With Ordinary People(everyone).
Don't misTreat others, and Do Your Best to Live at Peace With Everyone.
Dear, Friends, Don't try to get even. Let GOD TAKE REVENGE. In The Scriptures THE LORD SAYS,:"I AM THE ONE TO TAKE REVENGE AND PAY them back(Deuteromony 32:31-35 and Leviticus 19:9-18.)"
The Scripture also says, "If Your enemies are hungry, Give Them Something To Eat. And If They Are Thirsty, Give Them Something To Drink. This Will Be the same as piling burning coals on their heads(they will expect you to retaliate or react begrudginly."
Don't let evil defeat you, but Defeat evil With Good. Romans 12:1-21
Wow, If You just Experienced GOD'S FREEDOM, LOVE and Transformation, I'll pause again for ya to get yo' shout on...
Now about The Love:
Chapter 13 of Romans verses 8-10;
Let Love Be Your Only debt(own no man anything-Leviticus 19:18 and Matthew 22:37-39)!
If You Love Others, You Have Done All That THE LAW DEMANDS. In The LAW there are many Commands, such as, "Be Faithful In Marriage. Do Not murder. Do Not steal. Do not want what belongs to others." but
All of These Are Summed Up In THE COMMAND that Says, "Love Others as Much as You Love Yourself." No one who Loves others will harm them. So Love Is all that THE LAW DEMANDS.
Wheew, what a Remarkable Awakening Of Light and Understanding on situations and circumstances that involve others. If I Allow GOD To Work Out the evil in Me and REPLACE THAT evil WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT and THE POWER IT BEHOLDS, Then Keeping GOD Happy is no longer a scarey duty or heavy burden because of the fear of sin and death because they were Nailed to the cross JESUS CHRIST Hung on the Hill of Calvary.
Be Open in the mind To Receive The Transformation of GOD and HIS ULTIMATE PROMISE Of ETERNAL LIFE Through Belief in JESUS CHRIST(John 3:16)
When troubles are rising and people are Not cooperating with you recognize Our fight is Not against flesh and blood and Let GOD'S LOVE Cover the faults of that one so You Can Be an Instrument HE CAN USE TO FREE that one just like HE FREED You...
They're just not on they're knees Yet, so Pray that GOD Leads Them to their Knees and away from the traps the enemy has set to devour them, In JESUS NAME Live, Love and Laugh until The World is on it's knees.
