and usually people that's what they do when they come to church they begin to
follow Christ and like I need to clean up my head I need to clean up my life
that is not what 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 oh 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 by 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 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're like 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 have 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 water 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 nine feet tall you walk out of that 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 our spirit under influence of the Holy Spirit
