Happy Sunday! Yesterday I posted a video of a pastor giving a sermon on hearing the voice of God. I hope all who desire to hear with clarity invest the hour to listen as I believe the message is spot on. God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) speaks through my spirit to my mind (soul). The way I understand it, since the Garden of Eden our bodies have possessed the knowledge of evil and we name that part of our body, Flesh. Flesh is where my evil desires of lust, greed, inflated ego, vengeance etc. originate and is then spoken to my mind to influence my decision because my mind has authority over both the body and the spirit. My mind is the boss of me and the other two comply even though one of the other two (spirit or flesh) will always be disappointed. Only the flesh will throw a temper tantrum as my spirit is always humble and meek. So even when my spirit does not get its way (boo me) and is grieved, it is forgiving and loves on. What I have recently discovered is, if I mindfully think internally from my mind to my body to chill out and be quite while my soul and spirit worship, pray or meditate with God is that my body actually complies. All that chatter (of the game starts at, what’s for lunch today or other woes of this world I saw on the news, etc.), goes still. Hope I have not lost anyone in my rambles so far but if you think this is nuts, you got the right squirrel here. Please consider our bodies will not even reach for a cold drink and grasp it, then gently bring it to our mouths without our mind instructing it to do so. These conversations go on internally between our minds and our bodies without our acknowledgement of them occurring. It has only taken me 60+ years to realize these truths. Well my close today may need explanation for younger readers on what a pilot light is because they are no longer used in appliances anymore. Remember to ask Jesus to light the pilot light of our hearts with a match from His heart's fire. Then when He does, remember that we control the burner knob by our own free will.
PS: Do not be afraid of the word Ghost. But that is a whole ‘nother rant.
