First Comes the Natural — Then the Spiritual
This was a post I wrote last year in August on HKP: “Tell My People – Air Their Houses“.
Good morning.
It goes without saying, that I must be an example and do exactly what The Holy Spirit instructed me to share with the people then.
Do I still air out my physical house literally every day? Yes, I try to unless hindered by unforeseen circumstances.
At least I let some windows up till around noon. Also I am constantly cleaning the two air filters in my house.
We STILL need fresh air daily, not breathing staleness!
Germs still exist where COVID is as bad or not right now. This is in the ‘natural’.
Still the most important is a ‘check up’ about airing our spiritual houses out of any debris and staleness, (our temple).
We must be razor sharp in the Spirit not letting any little foxes in.
A ‘Daily Renewal‘ is what I am hearing in the Spirit. One shot of grace does not do it!
In this daily renewal let’s examine our own hearts, confessing and repenting of any sins as needed.
Let’s breathe in fresh air, fresh anointing daily by sitting at Jesus feet.
God bless you all.

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2.
“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.” Philippians 4:8.

Greetings in Jesus’ name,
I am sharing this Corinthians text because your article seems to say the opposite to what this text is saying. …..Is there a scriptural reference to what you are saying?
1 Corinthians 15:46 (NKJV) – …the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual…”
Thanks for now. A.B
You are so right sir and I stand corrected! Exactly, and I ‘titled’ it wrong going too fast. I know better. Thank you and I will seek to correct the title!
Still please know the title is what I moved too fast on at the end before submitting the article.
Still please don’t throw the baby out with the wash in what I was seeking to get out to the people. It was for instruction to help and not hurt.
God bless you and thank you again. Joyce
1 Cor. 15:46
“Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
Thank you always for all your input Adams. I so agree!
Very true! The spiritual is like the foundation of a building that determines the quantity & quality of materials to be laid on it in the physical realm. Same as true Christians, if the spiritual (foundation) is loaded(quantity) with hidden sins(quality) which we fail to cleanse through the readily available Grace in the blood of Jesus then what we display in the physical is fake & we are deceiving ourselves & even other Christians. But God can’t be mocked! A day will come & we will be exposed for all to see. May the Holy spirit give us the Grace to guide us always in our Christian journeys in Jesus name, Amen.
