"What is Your SPIRITUAL DNA?"

"This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk; in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness in their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been tatught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewd in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness."

                                                                                 (Ephesians 4: 17-24)

Out with the old, in with the new is the mantra most people have every year with the anticipation of New Year's Day. They sit and they meticulously plan the changes they want to make to improve their lifestyle, health, financial security and romance. They spend hours poring through books, magazines and videos listening to dozens of stories and "proven" remedies to fix whatever ails them.

But one the the areas that is almost always overlooked is the spiritual health of the individual. They should be asking this question, "If the Holy Spirit were to give me a spiritual check up today, would I pass?" Is my heart pure? Is my mind sound? Are the symptoms of lewdness traceable? Is my sin in remission?

As a Believer in Christ Jesus, the spirit-led man or woman has to recognize the characteristics of a son of God. They must fully engage in and exhibit all the traits and tendencies of Christ as Lord and Savior. They must transfer that same Spirit to others they encounter in the marketplace who are seeking refuge, peace, love and joy as they crossover from hope to faith and bastard to son.

The Spiritual DNA is determined by your father. Whoever your father is will determine your spiritual DNA. If your father is Satan, then you will act like Satan. If your Father is the Lord God, then you will display all the traits, characteristics and tendencies of Christ! The hard truth is that people you know and people you meet will be able to tell you who your father is when they meet you for the first time...

The final analysis is this, do you want anger, fear and turmoil or love, joy and peace? The decision is yours...Selah.
