It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. (John 6:63, ESV)

The Flesh is of No Benefit

Today, I want to share with you a most crucial truth: It is the Spirit who gives life. We must always remember that man lives not by the flesh but by the Spirit, for the flesh profits nothing. We see many in society undergoing cosmetic surgery to alter their physical appearance, but why do they not mend their spirit? If a person lives according to the flesh, he will surely suffer, for he believes that he must rely on the flesh. Consequently, he indulges in the evil desires and passions of the flesh, and gradually his spirit is corrupted, leading to inevitable suffering.

Medicine and science study the material realm, not the spiritual, yet the reality of the spiritual realm far surpasses the scope of science. Illnesses are often the result of the operation of the spirit of death. Science is helpless against the spirit of death because it cannot be explained scientifically. However, for those of us who have received the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, resolving spiritual problems is much simpler. Healing and deliverance are founded on inner desire. They will be healed in the name of Jesus Christ. We can only be saved through the name of Jesus Christ. From a human perspective, illness or suffering may seem normal, but through spiritual eyes, it is a tragedy orchestrated by demons in the spiritual realm. Many are occupied with the mundane affairs of life, thinking their busyness will solve their problems, without understanding what lies behind them, and ultimately they find no resolution. If we want to live well, we must understand that the Spirit gives life, but also that the spirit can bring death!

The Spirit of God brings about good, while the spirit of the devil causes great misery. Once a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, they will live more prosperously and gradually leave behind the days of being controlled by demons. They will fight in the spirit and cast out demons. This is victory. When our spirit prospers, we prosper in all things. God's will is for us to prosper, and how wonderful that is! In the eyes of many atheists, prosperity is impossible, but we Christians must know that health and prosperity in all things are God's good will for our lives and not merely a case of every family has its problems. In just one week, some who were oppressed by demons were healed in the name of Jesus Christ. How much more wonderful if we were to serve for a lifetime. What has happened? In the spiritual realm, the name of Jesus Christ carries great power, enabling us to overcome and resolve all the problems that cannot be solved in the material world. When we serve God, we become a blessing to many.

To carry the likeness of a Christian is to carry the power of Jesus Christ. True Christians all carry this spiritual power. Although the problems manifest in the flesh, their root lies in the spirit. It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. (John 6:63) Let us reflect on this passage, which describes Jesus performing the miracle of the loaves and fishes. We cannot comprehend how He did it, for it was accomplished by the Spirit. To explain the spiritual world by using the material world is as foolish as explaining the human world by using the ant world. The spiritual realm is filled with things that are hard for us to imagine. People are bound to be interested in the endless supply of bread and fish, but Jesus said that when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they ate manna from heaven. It was not Moses who gave it to them, but the Father. Although they were filled, they all died in the wilderness. Then Jesus shifted the topic, telling them of another kind of bread, the bread of life, which, if eaten, would lead to eternal life. Only by eating His flesh and drinking His blood can one have eternal life. But the more they listened, the more confused they became. Why? Because they were thinking about bread from a fleshly perspective.

To pursue the spiritual is to pursue the way to eternal life in the spirit. If we only explore the issue of bread, we will be disappointed. Those who come to join the crowd do not come seeking the name, but seeking the bread. They only seek to satisfy the nourishment of the flesh, but their spirit is dry and lacking. How can they live prosperously? How tragic it is for a person to not know God in his life. If we do not overturn our fleshly way of thinking, it is most dangerous and foolish. The flesh is merely an empty shell; it is the spirit that gives life!

On Atheism

Atheism is a very powerful demon. It confuses people's minds and makes them foolish. Many who believe in atheism think of themselves as just a piece of flesh, and this is a very pitiful thought. If a person is of the flesh, he will try his best to satisfy his flesh, and if someone encroaches on his flesh, he will surely become兽性大发, like an animal protecting its food. Eating is the only way to live; that is their logic. But the Christian way of life is that it is the Spirit who gives life. They do not depend on material things for survival. Even if material things are taken away, they can continue to survive because their survival depends on every word God speaks. Man is composed of spirit, soul, and body, of which the spirit is the most important, but many always think that the body is the most important. Everyone who thinks this way lives very hard because the fleshly cannot resist the devil. How then can we live prosperously? Without changing our thinking, it cannot be done. In fact, how a person is in his spirit is how he will live. Jesus tells us that eternal life is the most important. The existence of the flesh is limited, but the spirit can exist forever. A spiritual person understands how to see issues from a spiritual perspective; a person of the flesh is blind in the spiritual realm.

Proving the Reality of the Spiritual Realm

Healing and casting out demons were among the most important things Jesus did. How did Jesus Christ reveal the things of the spiritual realm to us? First, healing the sick, because illness has a spiritual background. Until His death on the cross, Jesus was constantly healing the sick. Second, liberating those possessed by demons. No matter what happens to a person, as long as their soul remains, they will not die. Today, when we deal with illnesses, we drive away the spirits of sickness in the spiritual realm, and the illness is cured. What does all this prove to us – healing the sick and liberating those oppressed by demons? Spiritual power can solve many problems; problems that humans cannot solve can be solved in Jesus Christ. Building a logic system for believers is building a logic system filled with miracles. The things Jesus proved are irrefutable. Belief and unbelief determine whether one can enter the spiritual world; unbelievers cannot enter. We can also practice spiritual laws according to what the Lord Jesus revealed.

Practicing the Spiritual Laws Revealed by Jesus

Do not take it for granted that illness is normal. When we look at diseases with spiritual eyes, we understand that diseases all come from curses, and curses are evil spirits passed down from ancestors. Evil spirits spread through the lineage and eventually control the entire family. Originally, our families are being controlled by demons, and the problems in the family are created by demons. Therefore, we must constantly fight to drive out the demons entrenched in the family and liberate family members from the dominion of the power of darkness. We must never think that not fighting will lead to harmony. There is no peace agreement between us and evil spirits. Demons will certainly corrupt us because we exist in the branches of the family. Discover the origins of family curses from a spiritual perspective, and then use spiritual authority to sever all connections of curses, and the problem will be solved. When we see these works, we will be amazed and exclaim at how abundant the grace God has prepared for us. In the future, when we observe, do not look at problems with scientific eyes; start praying and fighting, and the family will surely be turned around. When we do things according to God's rules, we will surely see the things prophesied in the Bible.

The problems of the spiritual realm determine the problems of the world. We must pray constantly and fight incessantly, and any problem will be readily solved. When we pray, we will clearly feel the changes in the spirit, and the body will produce some strange movements. We should not retreat but persevere in prayer, and we will surely be liberated. When we pray, demons will still take the opportunity to corrupt us. They will manipulate the spiritual realm to increase the burden on our lives, thereby depriving us of the time to pray. It is the spirit that gives life; the things that exist in the world cannot solve our difficulties. Constantly pray and fight, and God will open up a path for us to turn around the state of our lives.

It is the spirit that gives life, and it is the spirit that also causes death. The words of the Lord Jesus are spirit and life, and the words of the devil are also spirit and death. In life, will we worry because of gossip? Then what is the reason for worry? It is because evil spirits are released upon us to corrupt our lives. If the spirit of disease leaves the patient, the patient will be healed. We must understand the concept of life and death. When a person's spirit is separated from God's Spirit, the person will die; if a person's spirit merges with God's Spirit, he will have eternal life. The words of the Lord Jesus are spirit. The law is spiritual. If a person commits adultery, evil spirits will be released upon that person.

Our actions and thoughts have a direct impact on the spiritual realm. Many people do not know why they are sick, but in reality, it is because the things they do bring evil spirits. We can live in this world because the redemption of the Lord Jesus has cut off the curses and the dominion of evil spirits from our ancestors. Live a holy life, and the spirit will be victorious.

Blessing and Curse

Blessing is spiritual; what demons cannot corrupt is blessed. This is what happens in the spiritual realm. Many people do not realize that they are under a curse. After a person is cursed, the devil will legally corrupt the family. Today, the grace from God can cut off curses and restore freedom. A curse is the legal corruption by the devil, and a blessing is when the devil has no power to corrupt. Many people feel that they are very unlucky. They do not know that this is the operation of the spiritual realm, and they continue to stubbornly cling to the flesh, and the devil continues to corrupt them. Money, the flesh, and work cannot stop the attacks of evil spirits. Only by obtaining spiritual authority to cut off the control of evil spirits and cast out the demons can these unlucky things and chronic diseases disappear naturally. Our salvation is the complete salvation of soul, body, and spirit. Although the flesh is of no benefit, God still wants to redeem it.

Jesus heals our bodies, but the salvation of Jesus Christ is complete salvation, so do not indulge your flesh. Our flesh must also live a holy life. Our soul, body, and spirit must obey the Holy Spirit, then our lives will surely be blessed! Meditate on the word of God day and night, because the word of God can awaken us. If we are not careful, we will fall into worldly logic. We must constantly subvert worldly ways of thinking and then develop natural ways of thinking, and we will become truly people who are with God, and God's power will be manifested through us, and we will see God's glory.
