TITLE: THE REALITY OF BIBLICAL SPIRITUALITY SUBTITLE: FLESH AND BLOOD IS NOT THE ENEMY. THE SPIRIT BEHIND THE FLESH IS. By: Bro. S. O. Chukwudi Umeakubuike A.K.A: PROPHET OBUMNEME THE MOUTHPIECE OF GOD. Flesh and blood is not the enemy of man, but the enemy of man is the evil spirit that POSSESSES a man through the lust of the flesh. "Take it or leave it. The choice is absolutely yours to decide". Flesh and blood is also not the friend of man, but the friend of man is the Holy Spirit that INDWELLS the man through the lust of the Spirit of God. "Take note of this; it is very important". The evil spirit which is the devil, is at war with the Holy Spirit that indwells the flesh and blood because of the righteousness of their living. And the Holy Spirit which is also God, is at war with the evil spirits of the devil that possess the flesh and blood because of the unrighteousness of their living. "TAKE PROPER NOTE OF THIS... FOR THERE IS NO NEGOTIATION OF FAMILY, FRIEND, BUSINESS ETC IN THE JUNGLE OF SPIRITUALITY - BE WISE, BE CAUTIOUS, BE GUIDED, BE CAREFUL AND ALSO BE CONTENT TO AVOID SPIRITUAL SELLOUT AND EXCHANGE OF VALUES IN THE SPIRIT WORLD". BIBLICAL FOUNDATION FOR SPIRITUAL WARFARE: The Bible says in: - Micah 7:6 - "For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter - in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house". - Ephesians 6:12 - "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places". - Mark 3:27 - "No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house". - Isaiah 49:24-26 - "Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD. Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children". - Luke 11:21-23 - "When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But "when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils". - John 10:10 - "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." - Luke 10:19 - "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you". NOTE: Every battle in the natural world begins from the spiritual realm. Your victory or failure in the spiritual realm determines your victory or failure in the natural world and your victory and failure in the natural world also determines your victory and failure in the spiritual realm - vise-visa. "Take note of this". When you examine the life you live in the natural, you will understand who you are and where you belong - either in the devil's camp that possesses with evil spirits through unrighteousness, or in God's camp that indwells with the Holy Spirit through righteousness. The choice to live to God's appointed time begins with you. The battle of life is spiritual and not carnal. "BE WISE AND BE MOST GUIDED". CONCLUSION: In every family there is a Moses anointed to bring abundance of life through righteousness, and in the same family there are Herods assigned to steal, kill, and destroy through unrighteousness. Not until you discover and believe in your real self through the life you live in the natural, you can never accept who you are and where you belong in the spiritual - whether in the camp of the Holy Spirit that gives abundant life through righteousness, or in the camp of the evil spirit that steals, kills, and destroys through unrighteousness. Life is all about choices and decisions: The truth will set you free if you agree and concur with it, but lies will keep you in captivity to household enemies and in bondage to the devil if you also agree and concur with them. God bless us all as we read and meditate upon this prophetic message. In Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen. From: Bro. S. O. Chukwudi Umeakubuike A.K.A: PROPHET OBUMNEME THE MOUTHPIECE OF GOD. Beloud
