Exposed to the Spiritual Elements

November 16, 2025 - Reading time: ~1 minute

The Bible says we are seated in Heavenly places spiritually in some mysterious way. 

I understand this just in the same way that data can live on a computer far away yet it gets populated on my device.

So our spirit is far away in heaven but it populates our body down here so to speak. I see it kind of like that.

So then the thing is down here on this Earth, the devil, the world, sinful people, and yes, even our own sinful flesh, make it a hard place to live in.

I think God showed me that it's just natural that we are going to get exposed to the elements of this world and it's not always going to make us feel good. Jesus said we would have troubles in this life but that we should be of good cheer because He overcame the world, and can thus overcome the world in our lives too.

So imagine you're in winter. It's always super cold outside. And you've got to warm up. But we're talking spiritually. So you have to pray and sing and fellowship with other believers to warm your spirit up inside to be able to overcome the cold so to speak spiritually.
