Spiritual Things
1 Corinthians 3:1-3
3 Brothers and sisters, in the past I could not talk to you as I talk to spiritual people. I had to talk to you as I would to people without the Spirit—babies in Christ.
2 The teaching I gave you was like milk, not solid food, because you were not able to take solid food. And even now you are not ready.
3 You are still not spiritual, because there is jealousy and quarreling among you, and this shows that you are not spiritual. You are acting like people of the world.
Lets go over it again: you (and I) are a spirit, we live in a body, and we have a soul. (Our mind, our will, our intellect, our emotions)
When we die, that is, our earthly bodies, return to the dust of the earth. Our bodies decompose. However, the true us, our spirit - THAT which is created in the image and the likeness of the Godhead (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit)
Genesis 1:26 -Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
will either have eternal life or eternal death. Eternal life being Heaven, or eternal death which is our soul being cast into eternal damnation and being forever separated from The One True Living God.
There is a lot that can be said about this, and I am sure, for those that are carnal, having not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and being baptized of The Holy Spirit; this may as well be a foreign language to you. In my most recent book, “Simple Truth Concerning Your Adversary” in keeping with the same schematic as with all my books; this truth of the scriptures, and much more, is taught line by line and precept upon precept with simplicity for your understanding.
However, now understanding that you are a spirit being, lets talk about spiritual things.
Because our Creator, The Lord God, is a Spirit
John 4:24 - 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
And simply stated, we being spirits, must worship Him as spirit beings. In other words, that part of us that is created in His image and His likeness, is the part of us, that needs to come before Him. Not our mind, not our will, not emotions, and certainly not our intellect. We must worship Him, in spirit and in truth. Not in flesh, not in faking it, not in pride, and not in haughtiness as if He works for you as some spiritual butler. And surely, as our Creator, He knows your truth or lack thereof. So that “show” being put on each Sunday in His altar…no! God says No! He knows everything about us, right down to the number of hairs on our head!
Luke 12:7 - 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
And yet most treat The Creator, Holy God - Lord of All, as a mere afterthought. Your life is so busy, you can’t make time to pray, read the scriptures, or even spend time in His presence. Imagine that, He created you, and all that you have; and the fact that you are even alive is because of Him, and yet you have become so encumbered with the cares of this world, that you don’t know your Creator. You don’t know nor understand His nature.
Mark 4:19 - 19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
You just know to go through the rituals, of maybe church attendance, pray before you eat, lie and tell others that you are praying for them - when you are not and have no intentions to do so, and you call upon Him when you are in a situation that human hands cannot fix! And even then, you don’t really expect Him to deliver on the prayers you prayed - it really is just a ritual or a formality for you, it is what you have been taught by religion to do.
I will say it again, get away from these dead churches. Yes Beloved, they are dead if the Spirit of the One True Living God is not moving through them, and you will know if He is or He is not by the congregants. What is their life like? What is going on in the fellowship? A lot of flesh and pretending to be Holy and Spiritually deep? A congregation filled with adulterers, gossipers, sexual sinners, addicts, and those puffed up with pride? Of course that is what is going on, but yet you choose to devalue your salvation by being a part of that foolishness. Because you don’t know, nor understand who you are in Christ Jesus.
Religion, which is a successful work of the adversary, has drawn you in by your carnal natural, your soul. The adversary doesn’t have access to your spirit, so he entices you by your soul. By your emotions, by your will, by your intellect, and by your mind.
1 Corinthians 14:20 - 20 Brothers and sisters, do not think like children. In evil things be like babies, but in your thinking you should be like adults.
And now, life has become hard. It has become like a train wreck that happened. And you feel at your wits end.
Proverbs 13:15 - 15 Good understanding gains favor, But the way of the unfaithful is hard.
Please take a moment to read my Blog titled “Learn of Me”. I am true to my calling, and I share with you as Father shares with me, because that is my calling. And yet, I may as well bang my head against a brick wall, because when I am trying to minister to you prophetically as spirit beings, about spiritual things, I can literally see it going in one in and out the other, your mind isn’t even hearing The Word of the Lord, but when life gets hard, then, I hear from you and you want a word, a word that will anesthetize or even annihilate your urgent disastrous situation! And yet, He was always right there, pleading with you to learn of Him, accept the gift of salvation He provided for you. You aren’t doing God’s will, God’s way Beloved. That is first and foremost.
Let me share from scripture, some tools that have freely come with your salvation if you would only learn of Him. And truth being, you haven’t gotten this in the church you are so faithful to, and yet here you are.
Regrettably, many of God’s people do not “tap” into the gifts we have been given to protect The Body of Christ and that are designed to keep The Body of Christ strong in our faith and strong in our salvation. You didn’t have time to Learn of Him. Which by the way, would you let a stranger into your home? So why do you think you will leave this earth and make it into Heaven? You didn’t know Him and He didn’t know you! And He tells us of this in scripture:
Matthew 7:21-23 - 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
So don’t think your church attendance and your giving to the church has earned you brownie points. There are many in Sheol (Hell) now, that if they could come back would tell you so.
Which by the way, many of you are supposed to be tithing to this ministry, this is where you come to be taught the scriptures and spiritually fed by the teaching and the prophetic gifting, and yet you are not in the will of God because you do not. And I turn none away, I know my calling and my gifting and continue to walk in it, my obedience to my Lord is not predicated on whether or not you are obedient. But, your disobedience it costing you greatly.
Don’t just take my word for it, read the scriptures:
Matthew 13:3-13
3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.
6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"
11He answered and said to them, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
And thus, your way has become hard. You have been turned over to a reprobate mind.
Still talking about spiritual things, let us take a look at some spiritual gifts for us as spirit beings:
The Tithe - Now, if you give just a tenth of your in-come, meaning that which comes into you financially, He promises you four things: 1. He will open up the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that you will not have room enough to receive it, 2. He promises you He will rebuke (you and I can’t rebuke anything, search the scriptures, the Lord rebukes - not you and I) the devourer for our sakes, that simply means the adversary is stopped, block by the Lord from stealing, killing, and destroying our blessings and our seeds that yield our harvest of blessings, 3. He will make sure that when we are obedient to His will His way, whatever good seeds we have sown will reap a bountiful harvest, in other words when our ways are pleasing to Him - He will make even our enemies to be at peace with us, and no matter how little we have, it will always be enough! (Proverbs 16:7-8 - 7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. 8 Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice.) 4. And finally, everyone is going to see how blessed you are and call you blessed!
Malachi 3:8-12
8 “Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the Lord of hosts;
12 “And all nations will call you blessed,
For you will be a delightful land,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
2. You and I have been given spiritual gifts. You say, “I don’t have any gifts, or if I do, I don’t know what they are”. Well, Beloved if you read your bible, had a consistent and sincere prayer life, or even aligned yourself with a church or ministry of true worshippers that teaches such; you would know your gifts. In fact, you would be operating and functioning in your gift(s). Therefore, you are without excuse, because its written in His Word. And you would be using your spiritual gifts to benefit others. Not just your earthly gift like your job, that’s for you beloved to care for your family and earthly requirements. Again, we are talking spiritual things.
Here are the gifts, beginning with the Spiritual gifts. That is to say gifts of The Holy Spirit:
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
Understanding, without the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, you have none of these gifts working within you. He, meaning The Spirit of The God Most High, distributes these gifts to each of us as He wills, meaning as He desires.
If I were not in the will of God, if I were not saved, or if I believed I was saved and yet, none of this is operating in my life, and I am not a tither or tithing on unfruitful ground , and I was sitting in a dead church, and if life were getting the better of me and beating me up; I would stop right now, and repent (that means to ask forgiveness and stop living the way you have been living) and commit my life to The Lord, or for some re-commit your life to The Lord. It is not worth, living Hell on Earth, only to die and live Hell again - way worse, and forever. This earth, this life, is not your eternal (forever) home, and yet how you live on this earth determines how you will spend eternity (forever). And might I just say: forever is a long time to be wrong. So now is the time to do an about-face and get it right. Don’t delay, life is short and no one wakes up thinking or believing that this is the day they will die, and yet everyday…every second, someone dies. Don’t let your life end without you having gotten your life right with The Lord. And don’t allow your soul to convince you that you are ok, the scriptures are clear, but you don’t know what they say, so you have made up your own rules thinking you are good and will make it in.
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior or you need to recommit your life to The Lord - our Creator, please go to the contact page of this website and pray the prayer of salvation. And after you have done that pray that from this day forward you do His will His way, because the days are evil, and being outside of His ark of safety is only going to cement your already hard and difficult way. You need your Creator, you are but His creation, and apart from Him, you can do nothing. You need His help right now, today - you have situations and circumstances thar require Him and Him alone, because you need supernatural help and supernatural protection. The angels of The Lord, stand ready to come to your aide and to your defense.
He stands at the door and knocks. Beloved, why not open the door of your spirit, the door of your soul, and let Him in. Let Him be Lord in and of your life!
Lovingly in Christ Jesus,
Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor
