Thesis/ Central Idea:
Take account of your spiritual condition by understanding the truth, then comply with the fact to know your reality.
Introduction:
You know their is spiritual realm all around us and we are unawares
In our limited knowledge and arrogance we think we determine what is real and what is not
There is a reality that exists beyond any humans ability to create or sustain
We are sojourners and discoverers in a reality we do not control and yet participate in for better or for worse
This reality will expose our hearts
whether we want to live being with the Creator of this reality or
to continue to live being fooled by a temporal existence in the physical, carnal, existence we have now
What Is Your Reality???? lets; begin by understanding...
Spiritual Things are More Real than Physical Things
Man in his physical state is merely dirt
without the spirit man is not a living being, he is merely dirt, dust from the ground
he is not a participant in reality
we learn the following from the book of Job...
once again without God’s psirit we do not exist as living beings
the spirit makes things real
the spirit causes and allows one to participate in reality
consider what James adds to this discussion...
the body apart form the spirit is dead
spiritual things are more real than physical things
when the physical is gone and comes to termination, the spiritual will remain
[With this knowledge shouldn’t we consider where we are at spiritually, in reality…]
Taking account of where you are Spiritually
Let us first understand that spirit and truth go hand in hand
spirit = truth = reality
Man discovers truth
Man does not create truth
Man can participate in truth
Truth does not exist because man has determined it, he only discovers it, and reacts or responds to it
Our knowledge of truth can separate us onto a reality of considerable benefit
It is the word of God and one being in that word where reality can be our advocate or our torment
The spirit is truth and testifies to the realities which can benefit our living being existence
In taking account where you are at spiritually ask yourself some tough questions
Are you still carnal?
Are you still operating in your first nature?
Does your truth originate with other carnal beings?
Is your truth objective or is it subjective?
In other words is your truth objective such as 1+1=2, or subjective 1+1=5 when you feel like it...
Subjective truth is perishable, it only exists as long as you fool yourself into thinking it is true
Objective truth is true even when you don’t like it and fight against it
Keep that in mind while we listen to Paul’s admonition in 1 Corinthians...
pay close attention to verse 46
To take account of where you are at spiritually you must be able to know when and how did you move from the natural to the spiritual
[Humans cannot move from physical to spiritual, no more than they could have breathed into their own nostrils to become a living being…]
Where you are Spiritually is your Reality
Your reality is based on your position and condition in that which is spiritual and true
You must listen and obey spiritual truth in order to progress spiritually...
If you are still natural, if you haven’t obeyed spiritual truth
your reality is headed to destruction, you are in error and need to make a correction...
living in a human, fleshly, carnal, physical way is a reality of personal gratification and spiritual suicide...
Conclusion:
You refuse to accept the second Adam
You are still bent on what justifies the flesh
what looks good; feels good; sounds good
You continue to believe in the majority rule of man to make his own destiny
You believe that science is the last word, not realizing that science doesn’t say a thing only men using science as a back drop to make a hypothesis which is merely an educated guess
You close a blind eye to why you even created, why you exist
You don’t even know who you are
Your reality should be destination heaven, yet you refuse the truth
Your reality should be that God can bring about good in any bad situation you are in
Your reality should be within the ark of safety the body of Christ, yet you refuse the spiritual truth of being baptized
Your reality should be walking in the light as He is in the light, but you love darkness and the way of man
Your reality should have Jesus as an advocate, yet you have decided to refuse His counsel and handle your own case
If you have had your heart pricked today, why not change your reality
make your calling and election sure
Realize that spiritual things are more real than physical things
Take account of where you are spiritually and do what is necessary to make a positive change
Know that Your Reality is determined in accordance with your relationship with your Creator, your Savior, and your guide
hear the invitation to the reality of all realities
Invitation -
God’s Plan of Salvation to change your reality...
