Spiritually Lazy?
What does that mean?? I think its self explanatory, we say, I have enough to deal with just surviving day to day in this world.
Exactly................in this world! Remember IF you belong to LORD JESUS CHRIST we live in this world but are not OF this world. That means your focus (desire, time in thought spent) is not spending valuable time on the things of this world. Your time is a very precious gift. You only get so much of it, and you have no idea how much of it you have. You might have a mere 80 yrs of life on this planet or you might have even less. Every moment is a gift and we'd better use it wisely.
A Human beings life of 70 yrs is not a drop in a bucket when compared to life eternal.
We have a huge handicap in this world......... this handicap is a an gigantic black cloud covering the entire earth. This blackness is so heavy and encumbering that it starts its assault on us at a very young age. Those of us not born into families that have very strong roots in the TRUTH of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, have a very arduous journey making our way thru the mire and tar of the blackness, which by the way is the absence of Light. We grow up immersed in the world and soon realize that in order to be happy we have to have all this stuff to entertain us. We learn by watching what others do to attain all the stuff of happiness. We have a plethora of examples to learn from...TV, school, church, music, movies, games just to mention afew. Good grief......what chance does a child have to see and learn of the GOODNESS that is our GOD without at least equal time allotted. In this day and age I would say there is very little if any of the GOODNESS which is GOD involved in the above examples.
So here we are at whatever age we happen to be when we begin to realize that these things of happiness are not what they were presented to us to be. Its a tough confrontation within us to face the truth and figure out what is the truth.
If we are so blessed to live long enough to get to this point and have a chance to really seek the truth.
Granted those born in families with strong roots, deep in the truth have a blessing of which few really realize in the beginning of their journey. BUT........Thank you GOD, there is hope for all of us.
No matter how many scars, no matter how many wounds, no matter how many falls there is AMAZING GRACE waiting for you!
The circumstances of our lives will always bring to us opportunity to see above the black cloud into the SONshine. The opportunity to see the results of our choices and turn ourselves to the narrow path of which few choose. If we aren't lazy with our time.
Then we can actually begin to open our hearts to real truth...........GOD's Truth!!!
GOD is Spirit therefore HIS Truth begins with Spirit.
First we have to understand that the realm of the Spiritual is just as much if not more a part of our lives than the physical realm. We are in fact spiritual beings inside a beautiful physical body created just for us. You know the old saying if you don't use it you will lose it, well this is true for our Spirituality also. To acknowledge your own spirituality is key to growing in it.
All creation began in and of GOD's Spirit, it was preformed and thru HIS Word, HIS Power the LORD JESUS CHRIST went forth and performed HIS desire. We are a part of HIS desire, how wonderful is that!
John 3:12
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
It is the flesh that blinds us. It is that desire of self that keeps us from seeing and hearing the spiritual. JESUS taught us to love one another as HE has loved us. Before HE made that final sacrifice for us HE told us HE would send the "Comforter" HE told us HE would never leave us alone. We make that choice as to if we want HIM and all HE is within us.
Lam 1:16

Lam 1:16
For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
Jhn 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Jhn 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Jhn 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
If we choose not to fill our souls with the Spirit of Truth we will open the door to the spirit of lies. The spiritual occupies all. We are spiritual beings. Spirit takes up no space and many spirits can fill a vehicle. If your house is swept clean and you don't fill it with the Spirit of Truth, the spirit of lies will jump all over it and bring his friends.
Mat 12:43-45
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
The spirit of lies comes from one place, the father of lies as declared by FATHER GOD has JESUS CHRIST
Jhn 8:42-44
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Shortly after making the choice to follow Satan and leave their own place in Heaven, the Fallen Angels did initiate their own creation of Aliens to satisfy their very own desire to have
their own heritage of creatures within the Universe that could represent their own being thru out the Universe. Creatures that could be used to compete with GOD's own Human creation of Children in the Universe.
They were not created out of the dust of the earth as GOD's own creation of Human Children were, they were not given the breath of the LORD God to become a living soul.
Gen 2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
They are created out of the biological and chemical make up of their Fallen Angel parents. Therefore they have no soul nor can they create a soul, they are clones of their parents.
They have been abducting and experimenting on Human beings for millennia in search of how to create a soul that they might have a chance as Human beings do for eternal life.
GOD's own decision to allow the Fallen Angels to introduce their creation of Aliens to take place upon any Wayward planet is predicated upon two very important factors:
1. When the degree of Knowledge & Good which is gained by man concerning their surroundings and themselves does become so influenced by Sin, that it becomes unable to be used for the betterment of God's Good and themselves upon their Planet but becomes used has a weapon of Blindness, demise, and destruction!
2. When the degree of Spiritual Blindness towards God Himself, His Knowledge and His Good does become accepted and enhanced by the actions and activities of Sin upon Planets, so too does this in turn cause for the attaining of 'Sons Of God' on those Planets, to become very much deeply limited!
At this point man is ready for more sophisticated deception concerning GOD, His GODliness, the Fallen Angels and their Alien children. They desperately don't want you to know their agenda or even who they are or where they came from or that they even exist! If you become aware of them or even seek them they want you to think they are your friend, here to help mankind. They are not your friend, they want nothing more than to see you destroyed as they will be on judgment day.
They live within the confines of GOD's parameters for them just as all creation does.
GOD's Holy Word warns us of them...
Jer 8:17
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
Psa 54:8
Num 21:6
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
The fruits of the Spirit of GOD are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are your fruits when you choose to abide in the Truth of GOD.
When your spirit is joined with your Creator's Spirit these good fruits will you project to your brothers and you will feel them within your very being.
The counterfeit of these fruits are what fill you when you are spiritually oppressed. Examples can be:
Affection shown to others for selfish reasons, Despair and a lack of or fear of hope, Excitement and happiness that exists only when things are good leading to mood swings. Happiness not in God but in what he brings. Worry and anxiety, Bitterness and resentment toward God that manifests itself in agitation or outright expressions of anger with others. Self-righteous cynicism that pretends concern is unspiritual.
The inability to rejoice in the good happening to others. Hypocrisy, phoniness, and insincerity. Being honest in an insensitive way without love. Insincerity that pretends to be sincere. Being ‘loving’ without any concern for truth. Being loyal out of self-righteous pride leading to an unwillingness to address wrongs. Thinking you are superior leading to self-absorption and self-promotion that crushes others. Insecurity that is self-absorbed so that words of self-deprecation are said so that others affirm us. Impulsive living in the moment. Using willpower to stay disciplined resulting in pride over your accomplishment.
These are some of the ways we can identify within ourselves spiritual oppression and then take steps to consciously change our view and manner. Identifying this behavior is the first step to ridding yourself of it.
Oppression is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.
You have the LORD's power (His Spirit) within you to overcome all these things and more. JESUS lived an example for us to follow. GOD created a vehicle and came to earth physically has JESUS CHRIST to show us WE CAN OVERCOME SIN!!! He lived and fulfilled the GOOD COVENANT (Ten Commandments) given us to provide a manner of GOODness and GODliness to live in. Rewarding those that understand and walk in GOD's GOOD with eternal life.

If man chooses to disregard or not care much about the Spirit of GOD that created ALL THINGS including us then why should GOD care about him?? Why would GOD want a spirit that has no regard or thankfulness or wisdom or understanding about anything of GOD's Plan for all creation nor the desire to know.
Why would GOD want a human being that not only disregards HIS GOODness but chooses to act and dwell in and of everything that is opposing HIS Creation and GOODness and Life!!!
Think about it...........If YOU had created all this wondrous universe and created living life within it. The love and care and time taken to make all things work perfectly together within it to provide everything needed to sustain life.
Then over time the children you created with Intellect and Glories of great measure... growing very arrogant and filled with a spirit of entitlement ........... forgetting where they really came from and refusing to acknowledge this gift of life or more importantly the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD. Willfully lacking the desire to work and help their brother in any way to continue to grow. Their houses have become filled with spirits that want to kill, steal and destroy.
Would you allow any degree of this spirit to spread in the wondrous universe teeming with life and beauty that you had created? Like an infectious disease creeping into the flesh and spirit of man.
I think not............neither will our Father in Heaven.
For those without a strong immune system, roots deep in the Fathers Truth the deception will be too much and with no foundation of Truth how can you not be deceived?
Remember the fallen angels and their minions have been around for many thousands and thousands of years in man's time, they have seen many downfalls of mankind and what works and doesn't work in aiding this process to destroy as many souls of men as possible from becoming "Sons of GOD"
Sighting and accepting this reality of GOD's Spirit and HIS Spiritual Ability does afford us the ability to truly sight things of, in and surrounding our own Spirits in existence which directly relates to the Spiritual world around us.
This acceptance better allows us to apply the knowledge of GOD's Spiritual Ability to our own Spiritual existence. It allows us to better understand our own Spiritual reality relevant to GOD's own Spiritual reality. It allows us to better bond and relate our own Spiritual existence to and with the things that GOD has undertaken Spiritually and Physically.
No existence of Intellectual Life is able to survive Long-Term without the acceptance and assimilation of that positive nature of GOD's Knowledge of and in what is GOOD, or what is not GOOD being established fully within their very existence and being!
Being Spiritually lazy is what we all have done or are doing now. As long as we are alive on this earth there is hope to grow and learn. If we truly seek for Truth, We will find it.
The Spiritual World is more real and more alive than you could ever imagine. Use the Spiritual to interpret the Physical not the Physical to interpret the Spiritual.
