****Sorry, we've been without internet for several days, so I'm putting this on a Saturday.
John 1:16-17 (Amplified) says, "For out of His fullness (abundance), we have all received, all had a share and were all supplied with, one Grace after another and Spiritual Blessing upon Spiritual Blessing and even favor upon favor and Gift heaped upon Gift. For while the Law was given through Moses, Grace (unearned, undeserved favor) and Spiritual Blessing and Truth, came through Jesus Christ."
We have misunderstood God's will for His people and family for many years, which left us devising our own understanding with carnal minds and allowing satan to keep us in bondage and doubting the Father. When we read about the Spiritual Blessings in the above scripture, we don't associate their being for our earthly lives. We somehow think we can enjoy these Spiritual Blessings, when we "cross over into the Spiritual realm."
We cannot "cross over into the Spiritual realm," but the Spiritual realm had to cross over into this earthly realm. Jesus said in John 3:6-7 (Amplified), "What is born of (from), the flesh is flesh (of the physical is physical); and what is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Marvel not (do not be surprised, astonished at) My telling you, you must be born anew from Above."
We live in a physical body, but the life that we now live in this body, is "Spiritual from Above." We try making this body "Spiritual," by our customs and traditions, but it is still physical. Flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God. All of our inheritance is now from the Spiritual Blessings, that came into and upon us, by our new birth. Everything that is now Blessing us in this physical life, comes from the Spiritual Blessings from within us.
Healing for this physical body is now within us, because of the Spiritual Blessing that abides within us. All that we've received from our new birth, is of the realm of God, Who is Spirit. Jesus said in John 6:63 (Amplified), "It is the Spirit Who gives Life (He is the Life-Giver); the flesh conveys no benefit whatever (there is no profit in it); The Words (Truths), that I have been speaking to you are Spirit and Life."
We've been waiting for the Spiritual Blessings to work "when we become spirit" or "when we go to be with the Lord." The Truth is, that we're already one with the Lord and these Spiritual Blessings are already ours. We haven't understood the Truth that Jesus brought, which has left us identifying more with our flesh and the Law.
God couldn't cross over the boundary of sin and death, until Jesus came to bring us a new creation being. The Spiritual Blessing at that time, were based on man's ability to walk by Law, in order to keep his flesh in the confines of legalism. When men obeyed this Law, God could confer His Blessings upon them. God's mercy would cover man's sin, if he obediently followed the Law and offered sacrifice.
Jesus has now redeemed us from the Law of Sin and Death, so the Spiritual Blessings live within us and function by faith in His Grace. If the Life of God dwells within your born-again spirit, then ask yourself this, "Does God's Bloodline and His DNA contain sickness and disease?" If not, then these things aren't in our spirit either. We've been taught and have believed, that God deals with the new covenant people (us, His family), like He dealt with those under the old covenant, but this isn't Truth. We've allowed the enemy to pervert the Gospel, to where we accept such physical things as sickness as, "God is using these things to teach us something." This isn't Truth.
1Peter 5:8-9 (Amplified) refers to the enemy as, "the spirit of anti-christ, who goes around roaring like a lion, in order to deceive the Body of Christ." Satan never has an original thought,Jesus is the Lion of Judah and satan is doing his best to "replace" the Christ in our lives, by inserting himself in our Lord Jesus' place. If you're truly born-again and are serving Jesus, then you will not accept that the things coming upon you are God's will for you. Thus, 1Peter 5:8-9 tells us, "Be well balanced, temperate, sober of mind; be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours (the devil), roams around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger
