John 4:34 my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work
This was Jesus reply to the disciples who returned expecting him to be hungry . But he had been ministering and doing Gods work . When they returned he had been fed spiritually. This spiritual food is eternal food . In heaven we will not need to eat or sleep to live . We will be totally sustained by the energy of God . This energy is available now as we fully obey and tap into this power source that is flowing down from Jesus through pastor Kim and through pastor Steve and pastor Yoogin .
All of our physical bodies get energy through the physical food they eat but the problem is that this energy for the physical body will only sustain you so long, if you have not learned to tap into Gods energy source or spiritual food . You will get sick and die when the body ( the flesh ) dies
This is the reason Joshua and kaleeb the two obedient servants out lived the rest of the children of Israel who died in the wilderness this is why kaleeb testified that he was strong as a thirty year old when he was 80 . This is the reason Moses could live 80 days with no food no water on mount Sinai . I believe This is why pastor Kim can live on two hours sleep There are more examples of this but I'll shorten for the sake of time . The basic idea is that the citizens of Gods kingdom should not grow weak and sick as they get old . The bible never says that children of the kingdom died but that they slept . Death is working in the citizens of this world and manifest in sickness and death but in us this should not be .
The wilderness process is about more then just letting go of idols . It is also about unplugging from the world system . Which is spiritually feeding people . And plugging into the kingdom of God . The ways of the world and how it functions and the ways of the kingdom and how it functions are different . We try to relate certain things so that we can understand but in many things it doesn't relate . The children of Israel were born into an idolatrous false world system . Just as we are . We are fed by this system all our lives . The deception is bigger then we realize .
In the wilderness they ate manna spiritual food but Christ told us that he is the true manna that came down from heaven and those who eat his flesh and drink his blood will never die . Even though they ate the manna they where still full of the world so they didn't believe which led to disobedience .
Do not love the world not the things of the world . If any man loves the world the love of the father is not in him . The love of the father is perfect love which cast out fear . They didn't have his love that's why they were to afraid to obey Gods command to Enter the promise land . The same will be true for us if we still love the world . We will not be able to enter the spiritual realm for fear and even if we do we'll be easily deceived
When we die to our selves and unplug from this world system . What we believe will become more real then what we think we see . And all the lies we have been taught will begin to become obvious . I experience some of this, this week and I spent several days in shock .
When we fast our bodies switch from getting energy from glycogen which is basically sugar to using stored energy or fat . The Second energy source ( fat ) actually has more energy then the first as fat has 9 cal per gram vs carbs or sugar which has only 4 Calories per gram .
Spiritually same thing when we fast from the world we will switch over to a different energy source that will be more powerful. The problem is that to fast the stomach my be empty for a period of time . It may not be comfortable at first.but it gets easier as we adapt . most people are not use to the feeling of there stomach being empty . They perceive that something is wrong and immediately seek to find something to fill the stomach . We will Not die if the stomach is empty for a period of time .
Spiritually same thing when we fast from the world by Turning off tv radio Internet ect. for a period of time . We don't realize our hearts are constantly being fed by the world . It is uncomfortable for our hearts to be empty as we switch over to this different energy source From Gods kingdom .
If we do not die and unplug from the world ( the matrix ) satan will still have some level of control over us . One scary thing is there is church in the matrix or the world system . Many spend there whole lives in a church that has a form of godliness but has no power .
We must chose either to be full of the world or full of Jesus but we cannot be full of both.
If you try be full of Jesus and the world there won't be room for Jesus because you are already full of the world . Then he will say foxes have holes and birds have nest but the son of man has no where to lay his head
As always it come down to our choices . Let us choose God. Deny our selves and fully obey . We will experience victory in the promise land or spiritual realm only in proportion to how much we have died to ourselves and emptied ourselves of the world it's idols and anything else that is not of God
