Everything is Spiritual

 When you were born again … your reality changed ….

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17-18  

Every day is a spiritual day.  It is not a natural life that you have that is sprinkled with spiritual moments. 

“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.” – John 15:19

You should not live like you are an unbeliever … you deny the truth of God when you do.  As Christians we must see everything with a spiritual understanding … see things the way our Father does.  The way Jesus does. When you do see life with spiritual understanding, you will react to what happens in life in a much different way. This was Paul’s prayer for the Church at Ephesus and my prayer for you.

“May [God] give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power” – Ephesians 1:17-19

Thinking of this passage, I was reminded of the story of Elisha and his servant in 2 Kings chapter 6.

“And Elisha prayed, ‘Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.’ Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” – 2 Kings 6:17

There is a spiritual reality of which many, if not most, Christians live their lives unaware that is surrounds them.  You will never experience it until you yield your heart fully to God. When you do, it will change the way you see and respond to life’s circumstances and the people around you. Spiritual awareness and understanding is not something for a select few, but for all in whom the Spirit of God dwells.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” – 1 Corinthians 6:19
