You are a spirit being.

You are a spirit being.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Mankind is made in the image and likeness of God. We came out of God, not from chimpanzees. Glory to God. You are a spirit being, you possess a soul and you live in a body. This will change your life and the way you see life.

You are not a body, you are not a soul. You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. John 4.24 says, 'God is a spirit'. Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit gives birth to spirit. You came out of God and therefore you are a spirit because God is a spirit. You will leave your body one day but you will live forever because spirits never cease to exist. Spirits live forever. Hebrews 9.27 says once you leave your body, judgement awaits you. Ignorance in this area has resulted in many false doctrines and teachings all around the world. You are a spirit being! Be conscious! So you can wisely utilize your resources, make wise decisions and have godly pursuits. Your body is the house where YOU live. Your body is not you. When you received Jesus as your Lord, your spirit got born again. Your spirit became the new creation, the righteousness of God in Christ. The Holy Spirit joined himself to your spirit and you became one with Him. Nothing happened to your body, the change happened in the spirit. As you feed your spirit with the word of God and grow deep and intimate in your fellowship with the Holy Spirit, what happened on the inside will manifest on the outside. Hallelujah!

Friend, the real you is the spirit. You are a spirit being. You are a spiritual being having a physical experience. Just like you feed and take care of your body, even more so feed and take care of the real you, your spirit. Be spirit conscious and develop your spirit by feeding on the word and fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit and you will experience a glorious life today, tomorrow and forever.
