One day while meditating on God's word an amazing truth was revealed to me! It had been there all the time, but I had over looked it in every area of my life. I have always wanted my steps to be ordered by God, but did not know God's divine plan for my family or myself. God has a special plan for every one of us. We must find out what is God's divine plan for our lives. When this was revealed to me the scales fell from my eyes and my mind opened up! Now I know God has a divine plan for my family and myself. I need God's divine help to align my life, that I may follow God's way of doing things. I realize that God's plan and the plan I have do not agree (Amos 3:3). The spiritual and the natural side of life war against each other. The only way the spirit man can be filled, is to be fed divine food from the Holy Spirit. The natural man is nourished by worldly systems and fleshly desires.
GOD’S DIVINE TABLE
The divine food we need can not be purchased from your local supermarket. It must come directly from God’s holy table. On God’s table is divine love, faith, prayer, studying the word, fasting, holy living, and sacrifice and witnessing for the Lord. In order for your spirit man to grow it must be nourished spiritually. When growing up spiritually in the Lord the spiritual man must out weigh the carnal man. The weight of the spiritual man activates the power of God in our lives. When this happens victory is received from Christ instead of defeat from the devil.
We must reach for God’s table and fix a balanced meal that will make us spiritually fit to handle anything that the devil have tailor made for us. We have become accustomed to eating unbalanced meals. Naturally we carry this same principle or idea into our spiritual life. When we only have a form of godliness we make our spiritual body weak and fragile. Likewise we must eat from all the spiritual food groups in order to have a balanced spiritual life. When we decide to do only part of God’s will we are eating an unbalanced spiritual meal. Because of this when Satan comes to test us we cannot stand. Unbalanced meals cause spiritual breakdowns. The Holy Spirit can not work when it is mal- nourished. Physical strength is maintained when we eat from the proper food groups, spiritual strength is maintained when we consume meals from God’s list of spiritual food.
WHAT’S ON THE DEVIL’S TABLE?
There are many fleshly desires and world systems that entice us to be conformed to this world. These desires, the pride of life, lust of the flesh keeps us from reaching the divine call that God has for our lives. If we allow it the devil will cheat us out of the only plan that can mend the broken relationship between God and man. Food from Satan’s table keeps mankind from experiencing the great power and eternal life that God has divinely ordered for us. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. God does not wish that anyone should perish but, the ultimate choice is ours. Being a Christian does not keep our flesh from obeying the devil; instead it prompts us to eat from the divine table of God. The table the devil has set is filled with sexual immorality, moral impurity, hatred, anger, false religions, envy and drunkenness. A person whose life is directed by these is influenced by the devil’s satanic power and is under the wrath of God. Let’s take a closer look on the table of fleshly desires and see the consequences of a meal that looks great from the outside but is a divine order from HELL. The flesh hates the spirit of God because the spirit reveals what will be manifested in the flesh and all the corruptions that will take place.
