One Body in Spiritual Harmony

It’s not only the brain that has the memory; our body also has a memory. Our genetics comes from our parents. And then their genetics comes from their parents and so on and so forth. 

And if we can only have a picture of our ancestors, fifteen generations down, we will see that they look like us. Why? Because that memory is in our DNA. 

When a man is married to a woman, the man’s sperm is deposited into the woman’s womb. That sperm is a protein and all the memory of one’s genetics is in there. So when we become a human being, the nose of our father and the eyes of our mother are in us. They look like us. 

That all comes from a little seed. That memory is deposited in our body. That is why when someone gets our DNA, that person will have characteristics that come from us.

Therefore, we should be careful about what we eat, because the flesh we eat also has memory. The information goes to our brain but the memory remains with our body.

I’m telling you this so that I can transfer the spiritual component to you. 

What must the children of God eat? The Word of God tells us in Matthew 4:4 that “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

The Word of God is As Spiritual Nourishment

When we read the Word of God or listen to the Word of God, the information goes to our brain. When we digest and receive it, it will become part of our spiritual life, and this will come out in our attitude, and our character. So that in the end, our character will become spiritual. 

Therefore, when the fruits of the spirit are laid upon our brain, which is the seat of our spirit, they become us when we receive them and digest them. We will be full of joy, peace, love, kindness, goodness, meekness, and long-suffering.

What We Feed Our Spirit Becomes Us

People may not be aware of it but their minds are being bombarded with information that is very inimical to their souls when they watch porno. People watch violence on TV, movies, and the internet as if it is just natural to them.

This information will destroy your soul. How? It first enters you and then if you keep eating it, you become violent because that violence was regurgitated in your system and it became you.

Why are many children in America killed in their schools? Because It became natural for them to do so; they were fed that on the internet.

So if we have children playing violent games, we must stop them! When they grow up, violence will be in their system, in their blood, in their memory, and they will be violent because it became natural for them to be violent. It became them. 

Whatever we eat, and whatever we watch becomes information that we receive and digest. It goes into the memory of our body’s system, and then it will become us.

Isn’t there a phrase that says, “You are what you eat”?

We Must Eat the Word of God

Some are spiritually weak because they don’t eat of the Word. They don’t eat of the Word. Or they may listen to it, but do not receive it. 

When you watch porno, your carnal side is very much alive, but your spiritual side is dead. Your spiritual side must equal your carnal side, or much better, be greater than it.

Don’t forget to eat the Word of God daily. Before you go to sleep, when you wake up, eat of the Word of God. Listen to my message. Listen to the message of the Appointed Son. Eat of the Word of God always.

So when trials and temptations come, or when the storms blow upon us, we will be able to stand.  It is the Word of God that strengthens us.  We will become spiritually strong. 

A friend of mine told me, “Pastor, if I went through what you are going through, I would most likely die.” Then he asked me,  “How are you able to weather the storms of your life?”

Do you know how? Because from head to toe, I am the Word of God.

We read about this in Matthew 7:24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

You must listen to the Word of God. And that Word should become part of you by obedience. Obey it until it becomes your lifestyle. Until it becomes your life.

How to Become Spiritually Smart

Listen, Obey, and become spiritually smart.  Why am I smart? Because I listen and obey.

In Matthew 7:25, we read “ And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house.. and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”

What is the rain? It is the rain of trials.  The rain fell and it became a flood. Whenever there are storms and floods, many people die. That’s because the winds blow and beat upon the house. That house is you.  You are the house of God being struck by the violent winds.

Remember what verse 25 said, “…and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” What is that rock? It is the rock of obedience. No matter what happens, you will not fear. As long as you are obedient, you will not be afraid to die; you will not be afraid of humiliation. Others may humiliate you, but you will just laugh at them.

When the storms hit you, you will not fall. And then the storm will say, “Hey, he is strong.” And then the tornado-like winds come, and will say, “Hey, nothing happened!”  

Others may destroy your reputation, but because you are not afraid, you will just laugh.  You’re not afraid of anything when you’re obedient, when you are walking that disciplined way, along the narrow road and the strait gate. You are not afraid of anything because everything in this world is just temporary. 

The apostles were not afraid to die, nor were they afraid to go to jail. They were not afraid that their reputation would be in tatters because of Jesus Christ, who, as the way, the truth, and the life, went to the cross.

The Begotten Son as our Model of Obedience to the Father’s Will

Our model, our Almighty Father, our Lord Jesus Christ,  was amazing. He went to the cross. We may now just sing about it, but think about the reality of it at that time.

When he was arrested, Judas kissed him. That was the sign that he was Jesus Christ. He was arrested by the Roman soldiers in complicity with the religious people of the day. Both political and religious worked together. 

Jesus Christ was arrested and chained. Was Jesus Christ a criminal? Only criminals were treated that way. 

Then he was brought before Pilate. Pilate asked the Jewish people, “Who shall I release, the thief Barabas or Him?” The people shouted to release Barabas. 

Jesus Christ was all alone; the throng was against Him.  No one defended Him.

The Apostles were afraid and ran away. Peter even denied Him. Then He was put on trial and then brought to Pilate’s scourging post.

He was whipped on his back. Literally, flesh and blood came off with that whip because it was made of broken iron, with a hook at the tip. When you pull it, flesh and skin come off with it.

What we saw in the movie, The Passion of the Christ, was the most realistic depiction of what happened 2,000 years ago. That was what the Almighty Father, who was the Word Made Flesh, went through.

Look at how He was treated. Did Jesus Christ commit a crime? No. But why was He treated that way?  Because it is a spiritual matter translated into the physical realm.  

Satan Lucifer hated the Begotten Son because He was the One who took away what he robbed us of,  which is the Sonship and the Kingship. That’s why he hated Jesus Christ with a passion.

Walk in the Disciplined Way of the Son

Why does the devil hate me now with a passion? Because I am the inheritor of the Sonship and the Kingship. When did Satan begin to hate me even more? When I said, “I am the owner of the world.”

Satan was enraged because he was the owner of the world before I came. He took the Sonship and the Kingship away from our first parents, Adam and Eve. When Jesus Christ came, Jesus took back the Sonship and Kingship from Satan, so he could give it to the one who will be victorious.

And it happened that I am the one who is victorious, one of those who was called in these last days. The power to become the Appointed Son, the inheritor of all things, was given to me, as it is mentioned in Revelation 21:7, “ “And I will be his God and he shall be my son.” 

That is why I am His Son in the spirit.  He is my God because it is no longer my will that I obey. That is the message that Satan has hidden and that is why he hates me. If he can, he would do that to me. 

But there is joy in my heart. There is peace and there is love.  Those are the fruits of the spirit.  That is my food! That should be your food also. So, when the wind, the storms, and the floods come, and beset you, you have backup. The Word of God which is in you is your backup.

But if you don’t have the Word of God, if you do not memorize it, and it’s not your life, you will have nothing when the winds will blow, when the storms and floods will come.

That is a very simple analogy of the physical and the spiritual.  Eat more of the Word. Do not go where you cannot memorize the message of the Appointed Son because you will pollute your spirit.  Because this is what will be embedded in you.

In these last days, we should walk according to that disciplined way. We should walk according to the way of the Father.
