Tune In

John 3:⁸ “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” (NIV)

Yesterday, we established that the human body is both a blessing and a limitation. Your spirit is confined to your body. If your spirit gets detached (I am using the word ‘detached’ carefully here), that is it. So, as much as the body is a blessing, the body also brings a limitation upon the spirit. And that is where the limitedness of humanity resides. And to make matters worse, this body is actually in a fallen state because of sin. Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and sin came into the world. The world is broken. This body that you are in is actually not only limited but also in a fallen state. No wonder what happens at rapture is that we are given a new body, a limitless body. A body that can function in heaven and on earth and that can be transported.

No wonder it is said of Jesus in Hebrews 10:⁵ “…a body You have prepared for Me” (NKJV), both on earth to function, and Jesus had a new body when He resurrected. Remember, when He showed Himself to the disciples and to Thomas who insisted that unless he sees the wounds in Jesus’ hands he would not believe. Yes, Jesus came in through the wall because the doors were locked. Remember, we said spirits are not limited. Jesus had a new body which was in tune with His spirit. So, Jesus could walk in through walls. While the scars of your current body exist, the limitation does not exist. There is a lot in there and I trust that the Holy Spirit will teach you.

No wonder Paul will say in Romans 7:²⁴ “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?” (NKJV). Paul experienced the limitation of the body. Jesus also experienced the limitation of the body. As long as you are on earth, you will experience the limitation of the body. But here is the deal; the extent to which your limitless spirit can influence the physical world is the extent to which you will be limitless. If you are a child of God, your spirit is in tune with God. If you are not a child of God, it is risky though. However, there are people who are not Christians and are doing great things. Matthew 16:26 “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”

So, if you are a child of God, in tune with God, and in tune with God’s Spirit. The extent to which your limitless spirit can influence this physical world is the extent to which you will be limitless. Therefore, as long as you are on earth, you are as limitless as your limitless spirit can influence the physical world.

Prayer: Father, even as it is Your desire for me to be limitless, keep my spirit in with the Holy Spirit so that my physical influence will be greatly enlarged, in Jesus Name. Amen!
