The Spirit Behind The Imperishables

Before you became born again, you were perishable. So, you will ask.

Am I imperishable?

Yeah you are.

I don’t know if you’ve heard this before that the real YOU is your spirit. Your body isn’t the real YOU but your spirit is. Your body is just housing the real you. The enemy doesn’t attack your body but your spirit. If they can get your spirit, they have gotten you. And of course, anything that is wrought on your spirit will definitely reflect on your physical life.

Rationally, the devil is a spirit and so is God. So these spirit beings have no business with your body but your spirit. God talks to your spirit-man and so does the devil. We need the body to enable us live on this earth that was created by God our Father for humans with bodies.

When you became born again, you accepted Christ to be your Lord and personal Saviour. He came into your life and He became your Lord (Master). But that was just a stepping stone to the real thing.

Then you were baptized in water and subsequently in the Holy Spirit.

You can’t receive the Holy Spirit without accepting Christ into your life.
 

Matthew 3:11

“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

John the Baptist was implying that only Christ can baptize a person with the Holy Spirit and fire. So you need Him (Christ) in your life to receive this great personality into your life.

So, what makes you “imperishable”?

The Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) makes us imperishable. Just wait for it, I’m almost there. When you understand this, it will help you live that assured life of a Christian.

The Spirit of God is more than a comforter and a teacher.

The Spirit of God is a “Life-giving Spirit”. When Christ died on the Cross of Calvary, he freed us from death.

We were all sinners before Christ died for us all.

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

After He arose from the tomb, death flee because our sins were washed by His blood on the cross.

God gave us a gift indirectly and that is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23).

We have eternal life in Christ. It means even when our bodies die, we merely cease to belong on earth but still continue to live in heavenly places. Halleluyah!

The bible says in John 6:63

“The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing…”

I just hope you understand that verse; whatever is going on in your body, you shouldn’t be bothered, as long as you have the Holy Spirit in you, He will give that body of yours life.

Romans 8:11 says "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you."

Wow!

On the third day, Jesus was raised to life by the Spirit of God. And now, the above verse says, if that same Spirit lives in you, it will vitalize your mortal body.

Brethren, it means you have the source of life in you. You have the giver of life in you. He can make that dead relationship come alive, that dead business come alive, that dead brain, cells, tissues or system come alive again. Nothing is too hard for him to do.

Friend, that your life can be renewed again only if you can surrender to Him- the giver of life.

You have seen what He did to Jesus whom He raised after three days. No matter the period, He will vitalize that thing that is so dead in your family, job, career, etc.
