THE LAW OF SPIRITUALITY IS AS REAL AS THE LAW OF GRAVITY

One of the phenomenons that exists today along with other well known phenomenons is spirituality. When I say phenomenon, I am talking about those events in our existence that seem to be shrouded in some mysteries, that only a few people can logically think through and understand. The aurora in the north pole is one of the easiest I can reference. In that phenomenon, we see color lights dancing in the skyline, and if you weren't familiar with that by experience, can make the very hair on the back of your neck to bristle in awe, and even fear. Thanks to efforts from scientific minds who have taken the pain to explain how that has come to be.

Another phenomenon that we can relate to is the law of gravity. By experience we have all come to get accustomed to it. We use it unconsciously because we are so familiar with it. In fact, the only time you probably actively think about it is when you are flying, from one city to another. As the plane takes off, if you are by the window seat, your mind automatically reminds you that gravity is at work. As long as the engines of the plane is working, no failures, you know gravity cannot kill you today. As the plane touches down at your destination, you unconsciously are happy to have beaten the law of gravity, even though you take that also for granted. Thank you technology and faith in technology.

There is another law I want to bring to your consciousness. It is the law of spirituality. Take note, you don't have to be a born again Christian to put the law of spirituality to work. It is just there, working. You can choose to do one or two activities around that law and you will see its effect. I want to talk about that law from a born-again Christian's perspective. To do this, I will use one Bible passage, and tackle one example of a situation under which you can put that law to work. Interestingly, the law of spirituality also works by perpetuity. This means that the law gets initiated in your life starting from the very first day you activate it. When you do, and then you forget it for a few years, and one day return to it, it will continue right where you left off. Different people today, Christians, and non-Christians are at different stages of spirituality by perpetuity. It doesn't grow by unconsciousness. It grows by deliberateness. It goes into a pause the day you stop being spiritual, and resumes playback the day you pick up on spirituality.



Romans 8:6
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."

The easiest way to die is to be carnal in your thoughts. To be carnal does not mean to be thinking of sex and sexual things as most people believe that scripture to mean, which is still true. Thinking about sex is just one of the characteristics of being carnal. You can be thinking of beer and alcoholism, that is also a characteristics of being carnal. You can be thinking of ripping someone off of their hard earned money, that is still a characteristics of carnality. You can be thinking of watching a game of football after dinner, it is one and the same thing. Carnal is not a bad thing altogether, but in its core is a law of death, because carnal means TO BE ORDINARY. When you are ordinary in your thinking, you are carnal. So the Bible is saying if you are an ordinary thinker, you will end up in death.

Why did the Bible say this? Because you live in an ordinary world. Everything in the ordinary world ends in death. That is the end purpose of life in the world since the fall of creation to ordinariness. Check everything around you. Everything is dieing. You give birth to a baby today, it begins to die from that very day. As the baby grows up, it is growing up into decay. Each birthday celebrated is actually a year closer to demise. The rest is just a matter of time. You build a brand new car, depreciation begins to set in. Depreciation is death of a kind. It means the item is degrading. Dieing. Back to one's life. Everything around you is dieing. Our health for one. Now the Bible is saying, if you think like an ordinary person, if you are carnal, you will end up actually dead even before you are really thoroughly dead.

The Bible adds another clause, which is that BUT to be spiritually minded is LIFE, it is PEACE. It means that spirituality can prolong your life. Spirituality can stop, pause, delay the death process. It means for example, that if you are on a diet system, a healthy living regime, a program of eating what has been dubbed "living food" as against eating "dead food", that you will live longer. Scientifically, yes, that is very true. But you see, that is where the problem is again. Science is part of the ordinary system of things. In an attempt to live longer, you are using the very principles and tool of death, science. What you need to have a better quality of life is spirituality. It doesn't matter what you eat, with spirituality you will enjoy a better quality of life.

The Bible admonishes us to eat everything with thanksgiving to God. The Bible also says that God has given us everything from the beast and crops of the field to those of the air for food. Do you think that God didn't know that eating red meat will kill you? Did you think that God did not know that milk will kill you? He knows. That is why he said take these things, enjoy it, but do it with thanksgiving.
