Hello, brethren and friends. This is the continuation of my previous two posts on this topic. You can read part 1 and part 2 by clicking on the links.
As you know, tyring to explain the truth is not an easy task. But, I feel that God has given me insight into this subject and I want to share this with you.
In my previous posts, I explained that the Spirit is the truth (1 John 5:6), and the Lord is the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17). Therefore, the Son of God , Our Lord is the truth—He is our King, the Light, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Son
The Son is everything to us believers. Through the Son we are able to experience God.
Ephesians 3:12 In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
The Spirit of The Son is what God sent in our hearts in able to experience the truth.
Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
We must hang on and have faith in the Son — the light and the king. We must not give up the Son no matter what. The Son is our life. Without Him we are dead.
Eternal Life
1 John 5:10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Most people do not realize that the Spirit of the Son of God is in them. This is because the devil has taken people in darkness and blinded them. They failed to see the light and the king in them.
The Spiritual Realm
2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Although people are aware of the spirits and the spiritual realm, it is not the Spirit of God that they encounter, but rather the spirit of the prince of darkness, the devil who is the murderer, the deceiver, and the liar.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
The ability to discern every spirit is a precious gift from God, essential for overcoming the difficult spiritual realities people have to deal with in order to survive in the Spirit.
1 John 1:4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Therefore it is very important to understand what is the Spirit because our real enemies are operating in the spiritual realm.
Your minds and hearts are spiritual battle grounds
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the flesh. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
The Apostle Paul teaches us how to distinguise between the the mind of death and the mind of the Spirit.
Romans 8:6 “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.“
And we, as believers of God, should have the mind governed by the Spirit. We are on the side of life always.
Therefore we must take to heart these admonitions that can help us with our battles in the Spirit.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
Conclusion
Understanding the Spirit of the Lord is crucial, for He alone can deliver us from our enemies operating in the spiritual realm. Our minds and hearts serve as battlegrounds where these spiritual forces wage war. We must remain vigilant to fight against them, as the forces of darkness seek to bring death and destruction. Therefore, we must strive to live in the Spirit and place our faith in God and His Son to overcome and receive the gift of eternal life.
This is it for now for this post my friends. Please watch out for “Part 4”. Until next time, may God bless you! Let your light shine.
