Where God's Kingdom Meets Man's Heart.
Real Life, I Mean REALLY Real Life
What Genesis records is so basic that often we overlook its implications. What are human beings really looking for? What is their quest for the mind, heart and spirit all about? Thinking spiritually is a beginning as opposed to how we are all caught up in politics, economics and just plain physical survival. Flow with the sequence in the following passages and consider where the secular world really is. Now shift into the promise of a totally different experience when we see things the way God has intended. Shift from thinking the way the world thinks and think God’s way. Shift doesn’t mean change. Change is a philosophical intuitive kind of thinking. That is something we can control. Rather think spiritually which is what transformation is all about. It means we turn our mind over to The Mind, the mind of God, thinking spiritually in every next moment. Let’s look at the passages.
Genesis 3:6
“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.”
From that point on physical sustenance fed the body, instant pleasure fed the heart and personal experience became wisdom. All structures were formed to serve those ends. The devil and his sin ruled.
Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans returns us to what God intended in the design of our hearts, minds and spirits. Jesus is the way for the heart, the truth for the mind and life through faith for the spirit.
After the feeding of the 5000 many followed Jesus looking for more. Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” Jn.6:26-27
What Jesus says about His food:
““My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” Jn.4:34 What is the ‘work?’ Jesus said, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” Jn.6:29
What are we to believe about the One the Father has sent?
“And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” Jn.6:39-40
But how about the “food?”
Jesus said to them “I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Jn.6:48-51
It’s all about trusting the Holy Spirit in our hearts, ingesting the Word of God in our minds and accepting faith as the means to experience eternal spiritual life.
“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Jn.6:54-56
Think of what these words of Jesus mean spiritually and what we find is that life, real life, not temporary life in the flesh, is spiritual and eternal. No wonder Jesus teaches, “The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life.” Jn.6:63
