The bible talks about spirits. God's spirit that resides in us as we accept him as our personal savior, and the spirits in the world. It goes on to tell us that God's spirit trumps those that are in the world. Look at the biblical stories that reinforce that. Without getting into every example, I want to challenge each of us to consider our life and what it means if we truly believe that God's spirit is within us.
The world knows there are spirits, and Christ himself warns us not to have anything to do with the spirits of the world. They are the deceiver it says, that have come to kill, steal and destroy. Other countries are filled with spirits and the people are aware of it. I had a colleague friend that was afraid to go to a certain area of India because it was known for all of their spirits. I found it odd at the time, but after traveling there I better understand.
The world knows how to tap into spirits through rituals and meditation. As Christians are we aware of the spirit that lives within us? Are we tapping into God's power and following his promptings? Jesus prayed daily and leaned into God's spirit daily for his guidance while on earth.
I would encourage each of us to consider the power that lives within us and lean not into our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge God and he will direct our steps. Proverbs 3:6. He has come to give us life and life more abundantly! John 10:10.
We are foreigners in this land, ambassadors for Christ who lives in us. Be in this world as a light in darkness, but be ye not of this world for it lies in spiritual wickedness. Daily surrender your life to God's spirit that resides in all of us as Christians. Go forth and spread his love to all you meet through word and deed, that others may be drawn to the spirit of God that resides in you!
John 16:33 "I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. but take courage; I have overcome the world!"
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosever believed on him should not perish but have eternal life.
God's love letter to you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=honbip9amZc
