Material Life and Spiritual Life: How They Coincide with Each Other

It is commonly believed that material and spiritual life are distinct and separate, with a clear boundary between them. However, the truth is that these two aspects of our lives are closely connected and cannot be separated. The things we do in the physical realm are mirrored in the spiritual realm and vice versa. Some don't realize that there are unseen forces out to sabotage your life and your family as well.

Ephesians 6:10-12

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

We aren't fighting each other as humans, but the spirits governing people are what is taking over people's reactions. There is an unseen battle that has been going on since the creation of humans.

Here are a few ways in which material life and spiritual life coincide with each other:

"Our material life provides us with the necessary resources to accomplish things. Our financial security, access to education, and a supportive community can help us establish a means of survival and afford the things we need to live in this material world."

Our spiritual life can provide us with a sense of meaning and purpose in our daily lives. By establishing a personal relationship and communication with God, we can experience a deeper connection that brings intention and fulfillment to our lives.

As we get to know God and strengthen our bond with Him, we become more aware of the Holy Spirit's presence and are infused with spiritual values. The Holy Spirit blesses us with specific gifts, including the gift of prophecy, the discernment of spirits, the gift of miracles, the gift of healing, the interpretation of tongues, kinds of tongues, increased faith, and the word of knowledge. These gifts give us a great advantage to help others truly. God also reveals to us great heavenly mysteries to show us glimpses into his realm.

Our connection through the Heavenly Father also gives us the power to protect ourselves from the dark spiritual beings that want to cause us harm.

We can also use our resources to support causes that align with our spiritual beliefs. By doing so, we can create a more purposeful and meaningful life for ourselves and those around us.

John 15:4-7 ERV - Bible.com

"I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me you won't be able to do anything. If you don't stay joined to me, you will be like a branch that has been thrown out and has dried up."

Without a strong connection to God, we cannot succeed in our endeavors.

Our spiritual life is essential in finding balance and perspective in our relationship and communion with our Heavenly Father. When we regularly practice our spiritual beliefs through prayer, fellowship, and meditation on god's word, the Holy Spirit blesses us with peace and sound mind in the face of life's challenges and uncertainties.

In reality, material life and spiritual life are not separate entities, but instead, two complementary aspects of the same coin. By learning to integrate both aspects of our lives, we can create a more fulfilling and purposeful existence, as well as a strong connection with the Holy Spirit within ourselves.

I hope this information helps someone, there are a lot of negative and evil things in this world that are out to get God's people. We have to be on our guard and put on the full armor of God so we will win. The way we choose to live our lives in this short time on earth is how we will spend our eternity. What we do in this life and the choices we make not only affect our spiritual lives but our bloodlines down for generations. We either leave curses or blessings. Just something to think about.

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings, you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
