[Scriptures]Romans 7:22-25
22) For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;
23) but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
24) What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?
25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Romans 8:5-10
5) Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6) The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
7) The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
8) Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
9) You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
10) But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
1 Corinthians 2:13
13) This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.
Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the everlasting Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
One of the things that is most necessary in rapturing right now is ‘to become a spiritual person.’ Therefore, you need to know what you must do to become a spiritual person.
Human beings are decided to be one of two kinds—a physical person or a spiritual person.
First, there are people who were born physical from the beginning or born spiritual from the beginning. Second, while growing, some people become spiritual as they believe in God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son through the Messiah, listen to his Word, and make themselves by toiling, putting in effort, and doing their responsibility. Or, sometimes, spiritual people become physical as a result of their own thoughts and actions.
There are people who are destined to be spiritual, and there are people who make themselves spiritual through their own effort and hard work
n this way, some are born specially destined as spiritual people, but in most cases, people are made spiritual if they make themselves through God and the Messiah.
For rocks also, there are natural rocks whose shapes were formed naturally, but there are also art rocks that were carved and made by people in the way they want. Human beings can also make themselves spiritual. It just requires them to toil and put in effort.
If you make yourself into a spiritual person, you will use yourself in saving your spirit, rapturing, and going to Heaven. Also, while living in the world too, you will use yourself valuably and live receiving blessings for that.
Living a day, if a person’s heart, mind, and thoughts think of the Spiritual Being and live conversing with Him and fulfilling His will, they are someone who has lived a spiritual life.
If every day you pray, listen to the Word of the times, take action according to that Word, save lives within the Lord, teach the Word, carry out the missions entrusted by the Lord, and fix your contradictions, you become a spiritual person. As for how powerful and high-level a spiritual person you will be, it is up to what you do.
Upon hearing today’s message, live thinking, ‘I too have been spiritual. I too can become a spiritual person.’ In love, truth, prayer, being spiritual, listening to and preaching the Word, managing, and evangelism, let’s increase the intensity and raise the level even more.
