Infected By The Spirit

Did you try to watch a certain horror movie that shows how a virus works in a man’s body? I think you are so familiar with this kind of scene. It started when a body is infected by an amount of virus through wounds or in any open organs and spreading the whole body. Then a person becomes corrupted and begun changing its normal behavior and getting wild. This time a person is not of his own but of the virus mind that in him. And this is how a person changed when it is infected internally. As we see how the virus works, science says; "A virus sustains itself by replication, using the body's own cell material. That is why it is so hard for scientists to find cures for viral illnesses; when you destroy the virus you run the risk of destroying the body's own cellular material". Unbelievable isn't it?
I know that sometimes by watching movies we could easily understand the story than by reading it in a book. Now, how about the spirit of God, does he infects our body like a virus? Before to that, I want you to read few passages I quoted below to help us understand how the spirit of God works.
So what did you see? Does God works outside the body of man or he works without the presence of the flesh? Using a concept of a virus infection, the spirit of God did choose a body of flesh to dwell therein. Just like a virus that infects anyone whether we like it or not.
It means that we did not choose to obey God but He had chosen us in Christ before the beginning of the world. Why it is said in him (Christ)? It is because Christ did choose us by his words. The same election that happened to the twelve apostles as he said;
Therefore, any changes of human's mind it's all because of Him. Now, after the election took place, you will hear his voice and start to believe what he says. And the spirit of God will come upon you and dwell in the inner part of your soul.
And when the spirit of God is in you, please don't ever think that something will change visibly in your mortal body like a virus infection. The body of flesh is still as it was and will die someday but it is quicken spiritually. In other words, you have now the immortal body which is the inner man. And who did it? it is God who raised Christ from the dead.
This process is very hard to believe because we can't see it neither feel it but we can understand it. The reason why is because this can only be done by faith.
Finally, when you have all of these, the love of God which is in your heart will teach the inner man or immortal body to act like him as he said; "the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us". This is exactly what he says in the book of Hebrew; "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: Heb 8:10". Thereafter, the love of God will abound more and more in knowledge and in all judgement like what I did here.
Meaning, you will understand more and you will judge more concerning life in the kingdom of God. This is how the spirit of God works and infected our body and it is incurable.

- Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
- Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
- Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
- Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
- Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
- Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
- Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
- 1 John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
So what did you see? Does God works outside the body of man or he works without the presence of the flesh? Using a concept of a virus infection, the spirit of God did choose a body of flesh to dwell therein. Just like a virus that infects anyone whether we like it or not.
- Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
It means that we did not choose to obey God but He had chosen us in Christ before the beginning of the world. Why it is said in him (Christ)? It is because Christ did choose us by his words. The same election that happened to the twelve apostles as he said;
- John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Therefore, any changes of human's mind it's all because of Him. Now, after the election took place, you will hear his voice and start to believe what he says. And the spirit of God will come upon you and dwell in the inner part of your soul.
- Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
And when the spirit of God is in you, please don't ever think that something will change visibly in your mortal body like a virus infection. The body of flesh is still as it was and will die someday but it is quicken spiritually. In other words, you have now the immortal body which is the inner man.

Thereafter, the love of God will abound more and more in knowledge and in all judgement like what I did here.
- Philippians 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Meaning, you will understand more and you will judge more concerning life in the kingdom of God. This is how the spirit of God works and infected our body and it is incurable.
- Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
