Spiritman...

So.... I was driving down the road listening to my radio and this song comes on very frequently on the station I listen to, XM64. In its chorus it says, "you're not a natural being having a spiritual experience, You are a spiritual being living a natural experience." I put that as my status on facebook because a lot of revelation or way I'm feeling or going through at the time what I say or write has a profound outcome on how I handle that certain situation.
   My Pastor preached on this very thing and it's one of my beliefs. That God had created us in his image. I don't believe that means we look like God, although some people out there believe they do. I think what this is saying is that our spirit is made for him we are made for him in his image for us...confusing...His perception of how he would like us to be, his image of us, God's intended purpose and use for us is how he made us. You don't take a snowmobile to the lake to jet ski....
   Pastor said that you were made to be a spiritman first that possesses a soul and lives in a body. A lot of people, in fact I believe most people, believe they are a person with a soul and they are either spiritual or not. In that I believe we "listen to our bodies" instead of what God tells us he's already given us and what the word says we are capable of doing. This has been a struggle for me, realizing that what I "see" with my natural eyes isn't what God had intended for me or what he has for me. Well what DOES God want for me? what does he have for me? The bible is full of those answers. His want for you is to prosper and be in good health, for example, is something stated in the bible that He wants for us. But I've come down with a sickness or disease....I'm feel like I'm always struggling to make bills or find time to do stuff....I'm finding out that that is a direct result of living UPSIDE down. I mean the total opposite way of how God intends on us handling situations and looking at our positions in the now. We get a back pain and we don't look at it and say "I'm healed in Jesus name!" because the word tells me "by his stripes we WERE healed..". but we rush to go to the doctors to get a synthetic drug to numb the pain instead of reading carefully the words WERE healed (not just the pain gone, the problem too!), meaning when Jesus died and rose again through that power he healed us, it's already done it's just waiting on you to claim it like you do a tax return. Its like a written check just waiting to be cashed, from the bank of God signed in the healing blood of Jesus Christ.... I just said something.....
   This way of thinking comes from feeding the Spiritman. Feed the spirit man and it feeds the soul and your body has to line up with it automatically. HAS TO, God said it has to, God gave you that spirit that soul and that body, He who created all RULES all. Feeding your spiritman takes discipline, reading your bible studying it, praying in the holy spirit, geez praying period, the rest will come. Speaking the positives in your life and calling out things that aren't as though they are. Don't build your spiritman up and your problems and circumstances will overtake you, build up your spiritman and blessing will overtake you. By putting your spiritman first and building him up it determines who you are going to be and not what your body or situations say you are. Your body has to listen to your spiritman and your mind has to as well. Spiritman first. Think of a flow chart. What's at the top of that flow chart for you? What's most important to you and what foundation is it built on? For me it has shifted from my financial worries and my problems and my emotions controlling how I live and how I react and what I do next, to the total opposite. God I'm not moving on a decision until I hear from you. I pray about stuff, I read what God said about my stuff in the word, How I'm suppose to react. I control my words to the best of my ability, speaking no negatives or unemployed words that would prevent my body and mind lining up under my spiritman. Because my spiritman knows what the outcome should be my spiritman knows where to go for the answer. My spiritman knows what God expects me to do and if I speak out something that is anti-productive and against the will of God for my life I have stunted and delayed my growth and my blessing.
  Put God's will at the top of your flow chart. Put your spiritman up there because all in all that's God's will. Look into the word study what God has for you. How to handle how to speak and how to pray. Take ALL things to God in prayer! nothing too big or too small. Nothing comes easy. It takes practice, it takes a consistent drive towards your goal to see the results and the fruit of your labor. If the only thing you get from doing that is joy consider yourself blessed. If the only thing you get from doing that is knowledge, consider yourself blessed. But I guarantee you it won't be in vain. Allow yourself to think that if you are a spiritman first that your experience is just earthly and natural of this world. God rules all because he created it, so everything has to go according to how he says when he is called upon (favor to your spiritman). If your a natural being living a spiritual experience then all the natural or earthly things that happen to you are so because you are putting your natural first before God and before your spiritman. That results in struggle and chasing blessings.
Put God first and line up your spiritman with him and it will seem that all natural things fade away and die off on your list of importance and blessings will seem like an EVERYDAY experience. My goal right now is to keep thinking of my spiritman and what he looks like to determine why things are going the way they are. If he's shriveled up and I'm going through some stuff, ding ding found the problem. Satan will attack you as you build your spiritman up because he knows you're one bad mamma jamma when your spiritman looks like a roided out body builder. He'll try to stop that with some junk along the way, that's the name of the game, that's why he's there, to thort God's plans for our lives. Don't support his plans by passing on God's. Don't put off what God has for your one more day, start working that spiritman out! Get him big! Forget the distractions of life. Look to God and mind&body have to line up... God made you in his image, he blueprinted your being, he knows how it works the best and what it was made for. Make sure you're not shoveling snow with a yard rake.

   +Job 32:4 But there is a spirit in a man, and the breath of the Almighty give him[spirit] understanding
   +John3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
- Insert: Your natural experience or problem is born of your natural based mind and actions, but those born of the Spirit[Holy] result in spirit things[God's will for you, blessing] <---Only way they come people!
   +1Corinthians 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God
   +Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits

   +Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things you wish.
-Insert: Natural and Spirit are opposing wills and direction of life so that you can't just do whatever you feel is right. If your spiritman is upheld the thing of the flesh will seem of no value but if you feed the natural or flesh things of the spirit will seem of no value. ew spiritual gifts and blessing and God's will not of value?!?! whoa, DIE FLESH!
   +Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit

   +Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

   WOW doesn't get much better than that promise right there people. The word said it not me!
I hope these are helping people. Like I said in the beginning I'm trying this out in hope that it will help someone and I'm not jabbering to myself, although doing these even helps me tremendously and sometimes find myself ministering to myself lol, whatever it takes God!

hope this helps :)
