A Hungry Heart and Aching Spirit Make a Battered Body
A Hungry Heart and Aching Spirit Make a Battered Body by Rhonda McKnight
“…it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” ~1 Peter 1:16
What does holy mean? I did some research and found that it is defined as having a moral standard of living, Christ-like in character, separate, pure, set apart. It was defined in spiritual terms, as a spiritual position or state of being. And while I agree with those definitions, I think too often we think that holiness is merely a spiritual thing. Meaning, if we attend church, read our bibles, serve in ministry, don’t cuss or drink, or commit other sins (that we’re aware of), we believe we have achieved holiness. Today I’d like to discuss another side to holy living; the reality that to be like Christ, we have to attend to not just the spiritual, but the physical.

What does 2010 hold for you?

We have known for years that numbers are special to God. They are all through his divine plan for this world and the New Jerusalem to come. Some of the numbers that we can identify within the Bible are 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 24 and 50 to list a few. We walk in the blessing of God based partly through numbers.

Ever wondered where your faith would measure on a faith scale? No seriously what would it measure on a God faith scale? Most of us would probably rate ourselves much higher than the actual reading. The truth of the matter is that we boast faith but when we are tested we often fail.
One day in a teaching session with his disciples Jesus began talking about forgiving. “Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!” (Lk 17:1). Jesus said that offences will come. I don’t care how isolated we live from society there will always be opportunity to sin because people and the adversary will put stumbling blocks before you. Somebody is going to offend you, somebody is going to cross your path plus the will to sin is always present. This is why we must terminate the old sin nature daily.

The Reality of Our Enemy

Satan wants you to doubt God. If the devil is successful in getting you to think contrary to what the scriptures say about you, then the battle is already half won. No one can convince you that you are what they say you are. You must first believe that you are what they say before they say it to you. You have already engaged in a battle with the words that they bring to you in your mind. If you believe the lie that is hatched in your mind, then you will believe the lie the person speaks to you.
The Real Battle
The Real Battle

I feel a burden to share this with you, particularly because we are moving into the day of the supernatural and unfortunately, you and I have not been taught how to negotiate these waters of spiritual reality. Consequently, we vacillate between the land of reality (the spirit) and the land of the visible (the physical). We don’t know how to maintain spiritual stability in the spirit realm. It is from the realm of the spirit that everything originates.
Everything that occurs happens in the spirit first and then is manifested in the natural or visible realm. In fact Paul says we should not even look at the things that are visible but the things that are not seen (2 Corinthians 4:18). Why? It is the spiritual things which empower what we see.
The Reality of Christian Living
The Reality of Christian Living

Christianity is not a party. Walking with God is a lifestyle. As a result, things may go wrong. We have this belief that because we are born again that we will be free from trouble. The exact opposite is true. We are told in Psalms 34:19, “Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.” In the time of trouble, what will God do? Hide us. Our heavenly Father does not say that He is going to deliver us out of trouble, but He will hide us in the midst of it.
