PROVERBS 18:14 IN THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE: THE STRONG SPIRIT OF A MAN SUSTAINS HIM IN BODILY PAIN OR TROUBLE, BUT A WEAK AND BROKEN SPIRIT WHO CAN RAISE UP OR BEAR? THAT VERSE IS A REAL EYE OPENER. IT REVEALS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE STAY IN SOME KIND OF TROUBL AND HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME STAYING WELL IN THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES. TAKE A LOOK AT EPHESIANS 6:10: FINALLY, MY BRETHREN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. WE ARE NOT JUST TO BE STRONG, BUT TO BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT! HIS MIGHT IS SPIRITUAL MIGHT BECAUSE GOD IS A SPIRIT. YOU ARE A SPIRIT. YOU HAVE A SOUL, AND YOU, THE SPIRIT, AND YOUR SOUL, LIVE IN A PHYSICAL BODY. GOD CREATED ALL LIVING THINGS TO REQUIRE FOOD, OR NOURISHMENT. HE ALSO CREATED THE FOOD BY WHICH THEY RECEIVE THEIR NOURISHMENT. THE PHYSICAL BODY REQUIRES PHYSICAL FOOD. THE SOUL-MIND, WILL AND EMOTIONS-REQUIRES MENTAL OR INTELLECTUAL FOOD. AND, THE SPIRIT MUST HAVE SPIRITUAL FOOD. PROPER SPIRIT FOOD PRODUCES SPIRITUAL STRENGTH CALLED FAITH. PROPER MENTAL FOOD PRODUCES MENTAL STRENGTH CALLED WILLPOWER AND, OF COURSE, PROPER PHYSICAL FOOD PRODUCES PHYSICAL STRENGTH. HOWEVER, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL FOOD ALONE ARE NEVER ENOUGH. IN JOHN 6:63 JESUS EXPLAINS THE TRUTH OF HOW THE HUMAN INTEGRATED SYSTEM WORKS: IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE. IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT GIVES LIFE. THE FLESH OR PHYSICAL PART HAS NO LIFE OF ITS OWN. IT IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE SPIRIT FOR ITS LIFE, OR LIFE STRENGTH. tHATS THE REASON THE WORD SAYS IN PROVERBS 4:23 TO KEEP, OR PROTECT, YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE FOR OUT OF IT-OUT OF YOUR SPIRIT-COME THE FORCES OF LIFE. THE WORDS OF THE FATHER, THE MOST HIGH GOD, THE ALMIGHTY GOD, SPOKEN THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR AND MY SPIRITS, IMPARTING HIS STRENGTH, BUILDS US UP UNTIL NOTHING IN THIS WORLD ORDER CAN STAND AGAINST US. STRONG IN THE LORD! NOT JUST STRONG IN OUR OWN STRENGTH BUT IN HIM. AND HIM-HIS WORD-IN US, PRODUCES HIS MIGHT. SO, WE ARE NOT JUST STRONG, BUT GOD STRONG! PROPER SPIRITUAL NUTRITION COMES FROM A STEADY, DAILY DIET AND EXERCISE IN THE WORD. THAT MEANS TAKING TIME EACH DAY IN THE WORD WITH YOUR TEACHER AND TRAINER, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH!
