SPIRIT WORLD!

Our beings are SOOO caught up in "the physical" when "the spiritual" is where we make LASTING investments.  Fame is bestowed on wealth and power is lavished on people who have no "lasting" authority here on earth.  Our culture is so caught up in how/what we can outdo our fellow man that we have forgotten about what GOD can do through us.  Everyone wants to have more than their neighbor, yet the "spiritual" health and wealth of an individual is mostly overlooked!  

Folks, I am over 50 years old.  Even if I live to 75 years old, my life is on the "back side"!   It is my goal to spend my remaining time on this earth manifesting "The Spirit" side of living.   "LIFE" is not limited to our existence on earth.  In the book of Genesis 2:7 it is recorded "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living "SOUL"!  You can see that GOD breathed the breath of "Life" into man and man became "a living SOUL!   

Later, in Genesis 2:17, GOD informs man "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."   Did HE mean that Adam and Eve would die physically upon eating the forbidden fruit?  

The enemy (satan) has contributed his part in the false perception of what is really important.  In Genesis 3:4-5 the Bible records "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."   The focus on the "here and now" is how evil (satan) obscures the picture of our lives.   

But GOD has not changed!  In John 4:24 the Bible says "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."  Scripture tells us where or TRUE worship must come from.  If we do not worship HIM in "spirit", we cannot worship HIM in "truth"!    

1 John 4:5-6 explains that we all are on one team or the other.  "They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of GOD: he that knoweth GOD heareth us; he that is not of GOD heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."  

Either your spirit is for GOD or your spirit is for the enemy.  If you believe that GOD is real or if you fall into another category is the BIG question.
