The Flesh Reveals the Spiritual

A discerning spiritual person can see the fleshly expressions of the heart in the body. Scientists now call them "micro-expressions", I witnessed this just recently when I could see the anger in the body language and expressions in the face of someone, but they were pretending not to be angry.

Hebrews 5:13-14 "…13 Everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their sensibilities to distinguish good from evil."

His verbal response to me gave Him away quickly, before that he was trying to hide the anger and even accused me of anger, which is a favored tactic of the narcissist. They accuse others of their own responses, to deflect any accountability from themselves.

Have you ever been talking to someone and something just seemed a little off, as though you were sensing something was wrong but couldn't quite put your finger on it? That was an unconscious awareness of micro-expressions. The face, the body and the head movements tell us about the inner spirit of someone. We cannot know perfectly WHAT is wrong, but we are warned that SOMETHING is wrong.

The Pharisees used these same tactics against Christ. They said he was doing His miracles by the power of the devil, when they were of the devil themselves.

If the devil will use these tactics in the day of the apostles they will certainly use them now, even more so as the day approaches for the return of Christ.

John 8:40-44 (NASB)
"40 But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. 41 You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.
43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
