The LORD Is

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭28:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In reading the above scripture, I know that David is not talking about his heart muscle pumping blood, when he says his heart "trusted" and "rejoiceth!" We have a "natural" side and we have a "spiritual" side. Here David is looking at the spiritual side of his heart.

Our "natural" side is our fleshly nature; our old man; our worldliness. It's the part of us that is drawn to the world. It's the part of us that we as Christians must overcome.‬‬

There is a spirit realm all around us; there is light and there is darkness. The darkness will tell you "that is not true" unless of course you worship darkness, then it will acknowledge its existence.

God is light.  

“He (speaking of John the Baptist) was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.”  John‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” 

John‬ ‭4:24‬ ‭KJV

When we become a Follower of The LORD Jesus Christ, and our eyes are opened, we must learn to look at the spiritual side of things around us, for everything that happens to us in the natural is rooted in the spiritual. 

EVERYTHING! 

God has His hand in everything, and is in control of everything. The devil tries to thwart God's purposes, and often times seems to be winning. We have a choice of whom we will agree with in every situation; God or satan. We have a choice of looking at a situation in the natural or the spiritual and dealing with it by our decision. 

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”  2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The devil whispers in our ear what he wants us to believe. We then have the choice to agree with him or not. Our words have power. When we agree with him, and speak it, we give him our power and it becomes real.  The devil knows that and tricks us into giving up our power for his evil purposes. We speak our fears and they come about!

God uses the things of the world (good and bad) for His purpose; in spite of us. 

“But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.”  Genesis‬ ‭50:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When things occur; when there is a problem, those in the world have no choice but to react to what they see. We though, can and should examine the spiritual side first! 

We go to God! 

I say, "please show me LORD where I've missed it!" Or "LORD please expose in my heart what You want to show me!"  And He does! I then repent and I'm restored! 

Every healing I have received from God, came after I humbled myself, examined my heart and repented of my sin which He exposed. 

Those still tied to the world do not want to be told that healing comes from repentance of sin. But it is through repentance we become free.  

Before I fully surrendered and became obedient to God, I was on many prescriptions. After dealing with the sins hidden in my heart through confession and repentance, the doctors took me off of them all. It has been 5 years I've been healed and walking in health, through repentance. (James 5:16)

Looking at the spiritual side is not just for illnesses. The enemy can be attacking your finances, your marriage, your children, your job. Often times judgments we've made, as small children, against our parents or a siblings can have monumental effects on our lives and we never have a clue. Confession and repentance of unforgiveness and judgments not only can set us free but also our children, even if they are grown and live in another state. The spirit realm is not limited by time or space. God's hand is not too short! Often times the afflictions of our children are actually a result of unrepented sin in our own lives. Our obedience to The Word of God can set them free.

Ask God to show you The Truth. 

Repent while there is still time. 

Even so - MARANATHA!
