ALL IS SPIRITUAL


ALL IS SPIRITUAL

   John 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
   Ephesians 6:10-19 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [Eph.2:2 The ruler of the authority of the air, the power of this world, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience, those that live by their own religiosity apart from biblical godliness.] 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. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
   James 3:11-12 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

  I’ve said or wrote it many times: all is spiritual, there is no such thing secular (the idea of nonspiritual, earthly, irreligious), and I’ve not changed my belief; such belief itself being part of my spiritual existence.
  Spirituality being nothing more or less than personal or group belief system, everyone has and lives by spiritual belief: Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, Unitarians, humanists and all other sects and denominations, agnostics, deists, polytheists, monotheists, atheists, democrats, republicans, liberals, conservatives, moderates, libertarians, socialists, communists, monarchists (Yep, they’re still around in the wings awaiting.), anarchists, revolutionaries, Nazis, neo-Nazis, dictators and every other stripe of person. Our positions and actions flow naturally from what we spiritually believe.
  Though I often hear spoken as such; spiritual should not be equated singularly with Christian Biblical godliness. Man was created a spiritual being (Only a spiritual being can sin.), and beginning with Adam has gone on to individually determining in God-given freewill what spiritual is; the religion, belief system, life-view, he measures all decisions thereby. All men are spiritual beings. There is no such thing as a secular being, it a false invention commonly accepted. (When invented?)
  Think not that spiritual belief only drives decisions in companies like Hobby Lobby or Chick-a-fila. Spiritual belief drives every company’s operation. Warren Buffet’s decisions are according to his spiritual beliefs, dare not think otherwise!
  Politics are prime example of being driven by spiritual beliefs regardless of party identification.
  Communism denying religion though driven by spiritual beliefs satanically religiously lived; and they changing according to beliefs of leadership: Frederich Engels believed in Claude-Henri de Rouvroy Saint Simon’s belief. (A aristocrat that somehow escaped the French Reign of Terror to become a paid political philosopher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Henri_de_Rouvroy,_comte_de_Saint-Simon )
Saint-Simon believing in power of positive thinking connected to the discipline of sociology, more commonly later known as Marxism.
  Engels latched on to a summarizing phrase from Saint-Simon “the government of men should be replaced by the administration of things.” Though idealistically sincere in beginning, Communism very quickly became an oppressive governmental bureaucracy.
  It all made sense to Lenin but he soon determined that it wouldn’t come about naturally, but would have to begin with ruthless purging of the ruling class, including young Anastasia.
  These impatient authors of The ABC of Communism, when things didn’t change immediately as expected, encouraged people to be patient.
  Stalin had otherwise belief (Did you know he read the Bible?) and consequently began with the elimination of the authors of The ABC of Communism, then decidedly gathered around him like genuine believers and useful political survivalists, some soon meeting same fate of ABC authors. Stalin brutally enforced his beliefs.
  Beginning with our founding fathers on through contemporary leaders, all were, still are led by their spiritual beliefs. This even comes down to elected and non-elected influential individuals religiously believing themselves saviors of society.
  Consider the dietary rulings in public schools and the requirement that employees police them. I received info from OPS school food service employee that if a child brings now declared “unhealthy” peanut butter& jelly sandwich in his lunch it is to be taken away from them and destroyed. In the few days since I’ve been telling people at all levels I encounter, including medical professionals working to keep me in repair.. And what do I get in response? Shrugs. “Oh well, whatta ya gonna do?” “So goes life today in the USA.”
  Never ever forget that all is spiritual, never secular. Biblical Christians are not at war with secularism, we’re battling thoughts and spiritual persons deep in religion of godless disobedience. We must never divide our thinking as to they being two separate entities. They are of their father the devil, and the lusts of their father they do. Satan abiding not in God’s Truth is destroyer from the beginning. There has been is not one shred of pure truth in him. The Destroyer speaks only to his own evil designs, always the liar, he is the father of lying. Jesus told the truth about this and yet people believed Him not then or now. (Jn.8:44-45)
