and usually people that's what they do when they come to church they begin to follow Christ and
they're like I need to clean up my head I need to clean up my life that is not where it starts if
you start there your victory will be short-lived everything starts with a spirit your spirit
inside what does it mean to start with a spirit that means that your spirit must be strong for
your spirit to be strong it must be developed your spirit like every muscle in your body does not get
developed on its own once you develop it and then it will develop you once you grow it and then it
will grow you how does your spirit get developed it gets developed when you connect yourself
with the higher spirit your spirit doesn't get developed when you go ucha you're gonna attract
other higher spirits that you're not gonna be happy with and then you're gonna lose your
spirit your soul your body and everything we're talking about connecting the only a human spirit
can be developed under one condition if it's under influence of a higher spirit that higher spirit is
your choosing either a spirit of depression spirit of fear demonic spirits or Holy Spirit but you and
I choose my spirit must come under influence of the higher spirit which is the Holy Spirit and
then my spirit gets strong when my spirit gets strong my body and my head and my mind becomes
a servant obedient servant when my spirit is weak when my spirit is broken the Bible says there is
a verse in Proverbs that says that a merry heart does good like medicine but a broken spirit dries
the bones what this means is this when a human spirit is weak their body will suffer when your
human spirit is weak your health will deteriorate when your human spirit is weak your mind cannot be
controlled a merry heart does good actually your spirit is a medicine to everything else in your
life and we look well this is true and if you read health self-help books you will find out
that to be true the only problem is that in every self-help book the challenge is you develop your
spirit by focusing on your spirit Christ tells us we develop our spirit by linking it to a higher
spirit of the Holy Spirit and when the Holy Spirit begins to influence your spirit something happens
your spirit becomes a medicine to your body to your mind and to everything in your life
you can control your thoughts after that because your spirit is developed how do you develop your
spirit you make time for a connection with the Holy Spirit that connection cannot be done when
you're doing your make up and that connection cannot be done when you're eating your breakfast
that connection has to be done when you are undistracted the connection that brings you closer
to the Holy Spirit is when you have the least distractions and those least distractions happen
usually in the morning before the sunrise before everybody wakes up to tell you something about the
day send you the emojis before the snapchat before people upload their latest Instagram pictures
before Facebook before anything you wake up 15 20 30 minutes earlier before anybody else is still
dark it has a really good feeling when you wake up before the sun goes up gives you this this boost
makes you feel like a champion even if you didn't do anything just woke up something happens to your
spirit when you wake up a little bit earlier and before you eat breakfast before you do anything
you get a cup of water and you go into your room why cup of waters is important because it wakes
wakes your body up and you take a time and you recognize at that moment inside is a spirit and
you speak and connect with the higher spirit the Holy Spirit and you say Holy Spirit I welcome you
Holy Spirit I love you Holy Spirit let this day be under your supervision something happens you
walk out of that feeling 9 feet tall you are kind of there a giant something happens with your mind
at that moment during that day your mind becomes your best servant you tell your mind to do this it
does that your attitude is strong you're full of cheerfulness you're full of joy if every problem
is under your knees I mean you walk around strong what happened your spirit got connected with the
higher spirit and it became a medicine to your body and to your mind you cannot overcome lust if
you start with a mind it has to start with coming with the spirit under influence of the Holy Spirit
