THE DISCONNECT

In continuing with this line of thinking we have been discussing, “Everything is spiritual.” It raises a lot of questions. One particular is, if everything thing is spiritual why didn’t I know this already? I mean why did it take study and conversation for me to know this? I know inherently that i am flesh/dirt. Why don’t I know inherently that I am spirit. And on top of that If i am always spiritual why don’t I feel it. Why is there this disconnect? why is it that sometimes I feel spiritual and sometimes i feel dirty? If i am this universally unique being that is a God’s spirit infused in dirt why don’t I feel God’s spirit and dirt at the same time?
These are really important questions, especially if we buy into this thought process of being always spiritual. And I think the reason we feel a disconnect, is because there is a disconnect. Seriously, the reason we feel like a split being is because we are split being. If you read about the first sin when adam and eve ate the apple or orange or whatever it was eve looked at the serpent and told him if we eat this apple we will die. (Gen 3) Now before we go any further i need to set up a bottom line principle, God is all good and cannot be where sin is at. So if we believe that God should have immediately pulled himself out of the adam and eve and the human race should have seized to exist. BUt we didn’t why? well to figure that one out we had to look at Romans 8:3. It says that god did something that was again universally unique, Instead of pulling his spirit out of the dirt because of out digestion of sin, he imprisoned the sin/death into the flesh/dirt, so that we as human beings didn’t instantly turn back to dirt. this makes complete sense. Everyone knows that after a certain age we are slowly dying. (See the drawing to help understand this) I know that is a pleasant happy thought, but this should cause us to realize two things. first we should understand now why we have this disconnect or war inside of us. the death of the dirt is fighting the life of the spirit. This is why we sometimes feel spiritual and sometimes feel dirty. Paul wrote described it like this, When I want to do good evil is present, and what i want to do i don’t do, and i do what i don’t want to do. (Romans 7) Second thing that should occur to us realizing this is that God is literally on the inside of you and I holding us together, keeping the dirt alive. This should makes us feel humbled and surprised to be loved, that is what we are Loved. Our Heavenly father loves us so much, that even in our worst most embarrassing moments he is on the inside of us keeping us from falling apart, because he loves us and believes in us. He believes in us. There are no words to respond to that. God is holding me together because he believes in me and loves me more than i can imagine. You got me why?
