God has been speaking to me about Spiritual Vital Signs. The Doctor is in...
It's time for a check-up... So, let's start with our vital signs...
• The Heart of Abba functions through obedience to the Great Commandments.
1. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength manifested through WORSHIP.
2. Love thy neighbor as thyself manifested to the Greatest degree through the fulfillment of THE GREAT COMMISSION…
The Doctor’s Orders: We must begin with a heart transplant. Then we must check to see if our spiritual system has received the new heart, or if it is rejecting the new heart. At other times, we must research or examine what foreign substance (rejection, pride, lust, selfishness, disobedience, carnality etc.) is clogging the arteries.
Ezekiel 11:18-20 – “And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God” (KJV).
• The Mind of Christ functions as the spiritual brain of man. Without the Mind of Christ functioning within us, we would be spiritually brain dead. The mind serves as the mediator or connector of the spirit and flesh of man. Many years ago, the Holy Spirit asked me, “Do you know why the enemy fights the mind?” Then He revealed to me that the mind is the part of man where the flesh and spirit connect. The spiritual battle takes place in the mind, because the physical brain and the spirit of man connect through the mind of man. In the same way that we must feed the body, we must also feed the spirit. Jesus is the WORD, the Bread of Life, and the Living Water. We are commanded to Eat His flesh and drink His blood representing Communion and our Spiritual diet. Through maintaining a healthy spiritual diet, we will learn to function in the mind of Christ, rather than the mind of the flesh…
The Doctor’s Orders: Submit to the mind of Christ and put away carnal thinking.
Romans 12:1-2 - “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (KJV)
Philippians 2:4-6 – “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (KJV).
• PRAYER is our Spiritual breath. The Holy Spirit is the Intercessor inside of us and the Breath of God within us. The measure and operation of the fullness of the seven-fold Spirit of God through prayer and intercession represents our Spiritual breath. For this reason, we are called to pray without ceasing...
The Doctor’s Orders: Practice the presence of God through a continual attitude and lifestyle of prayer. We must learn to enquire of the Lord regarding all aspects of our lives, LISTENING and WATCHING for His Wisdom, leading, guidance, and direction.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 – “Pray without ceasing” (KJV).
