Why is the Living Word, the voice of Jesus, the only one left after the grave? What happened in the battle between the Spirit and the flesh? Jesus won, that´s what happened. He overcame the world. The world is full of sin and destruction, but Jesus Christ arose the victor from the dark domain and lives forever. I like to repeat the parable Jesus gave to his disciples about the body and the Spirit and His return after the tribulation. Some say that it is a forewarning or a representation about the future of the country of Israel, but I say that the parable represents a direct analysis between the Spirit and the flesh. There is a direct correlation between sin and the body, and the absence of sin and the Spirit, an analysis between the Spirit and the flesh that has always been, is the same condition now, and will be forever for all eternity.
“And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”

The strength to overcome sin is in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Keep the words of Jesus Christ and you will overcome your own weaknesses, your own limitations, your own divisiveness, and ultimately prevent your own downfall. Don´t trust in the strength of the fleshly body and the world. It will be corrupted and be found by the vultures and the eagles, as your sin will betray your presence to the evil that hunts you constantly. Live in the Spirit and the evil will not find you. You will not betray yourself, as sin always does, and makes you a part of the evil nature of mankind. The world and the evil around you will always hunt to find your fleshly body to corrupt it. So, let it be pure and clean and of the Spirit and it will not be found. Let your thoughts be pure and align your soul with the Holy Spirit. God forgives, refreshes, and restores our soul constantly, leading us into the paths of righteousness. Don´t let the vultures and the eagles of an evil nature find your body and tear into pieces the soul that God has given you for all eternity. Trust in the words of Jesus Christ, The Living Word, and you will not be found by the evil wickedness of your own sinful ways. Don´t let the words of Jesus Christ be choked among the thorns of your sins that have found your fleshly body. Study the Bible, memorize the words of Christ, and be refreshed on a daily basis. Let His Living Word guide your soul for all eternity. .
1 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
