How You Can Be Spiritually Sound In Life And In That Relationship

Are you having challenges in your walk with God? Do you find it difficult to walk in the Spirit but easily manifest the works of the flesh? Is that relationship or the burden of life itself draining your appetite for the things of God? Then you need to diligently read through as the Holy Spirit will open the eyes of your understanding.

God created man and he once enjoyed an intimate relationship with Him but due to sin he fell out of that relationship until Jesus came to reconcile us back to Him.

But despite this grace that has been made available to us, many are still finding it hard to be connected with God due to their relationship and the burdens of life.

Many have been in a relationship that has separated them from God due to what they do in it. The likes of premarital sex, kissing, petting, caressing, erotic conversations and fondling of each other’s sexual organs cannot make you spiritually sound regardless of your position in the church if you engaged in it as unmarried or someone else’s partner.

All of these are products of walking in the flesh and the flesh is an enmity against God. You can’t suppress the flesh for too long unless you destroy its nature in you. Can you do that through the arms of the flesh (self-control, yearly resolutions, weak determination)? Never!

Meanwhile, the following are the perfect ways to accomplish it.

1. Be born again

Unless you’re born again, you can’t see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). Going to church, being born into a Christian family or having Christian friends doesn’t make you born again unless you have personally confessed Jesus as your Lord and savior and you’re walking in Him.

Being born of the incorruptible seed of the word of God makes you born again and not going through foundational or convert class of any church that makes you lack real experience of salvation. There must be a deep conviction in you birthed through the word of God. This also happens when you believe the Word in your heart and confess Him with your mouth.

When you’re genuinely born again, you become a new creature
(2 Cor. 5:17). There’s a new nature in you that differs from your old nature that you’re born with and this new nature gives you the ability to think godly and avail His spirit the opportunity to dwell in you. 2. Be filled with the Holy Spirit

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5).

Being born again is just the first step, being filled with the Holy Spirit is another aspect you must reach. It is the Holy Spirit that gives you the ability to act like God and walk in the spirit instead of fulfilling the lust of the flesh.

How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit? How do I know that I’m filled with His Spirit? Being filled with the Spirit is achieved byasking from the Father (Luke 11:13). He gives you when you ask persistently and your heart is right before Him.

An evidential sign of being filled with the Holy Spirit is by speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives you utterances and not the blabbing that’s mostly done by many people in today’s world. 3. Feed your mind with His word

These first two processes enables you to enter into God’s kingdom and prepares you for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But one thing is needful, feed your mind with the word of God daily. Why? Everything you see around you are capable of polluting your heart even when you’re born again. The human heart is like a car engine, if you don’t service it regularly and do all the necessary daily checks, it’ll breakdown someday.

It’s not the day people commit sin they fell. They have fallen long ago because their heart has been muddled with sin. The word of God is the only means of renewing your heart against all this contaminants that surrounds us in the world. Read the word daily. Meditate in it day and night. And delight in it always so that you can easily walk in the Spirit. 4. Pray often

To be spiritually sound entails that you can live like God above sin, a life of holiness, godliness and righteousness.

To achieve this, you must pray always. Prayer strengthens and quickens our spirit man. It gives us the strength supplied by the Holy Spirit to live according to God’s will in our lives.

If you don’t pray often, you’ll become a prey to the enemies of your soul – sin, spir itual forces, Satan and the society you live in.

5. Create more time for God than the world

Rather than allow that relationship pull you away from God and drag you to hell by wasting time on frivolities, spend more time with God.

We tend to create more time for whom we love regardless of how busy we are. You can’t be spiritually sound if you don’t have time to fellowship with God on daily basis.

In fact, He can’t come closer to you and teach you His will if you hardly find time for Him. Remember, He says He loves those who love Him and those that seek Him early will find Him (Prov. 8:17).

Being spiritually sound is your best bet in living a life of holiness. You can’t overcome the flesh through carnal principles but you can crush it through the power of the Cross and spiritual mortification of it.

Check your relationship and life, are you spiritually sound or carnally minded? Carnal mindedness is death and destruction in all areas but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
