This document presents "Spiritual DNA", which discusses spiritual forces that affect people's lives. It argues that while science and knowledge have advanced, problems in the world like crime, disease, and poverty are worsening. This is because the spiritual component of human beings is often overlooked. The document outlines that people have a spirit, soul, and body, and discusses how the spiritual system interacts with the mind, emotions, and physical body. It argues that the choices people make place them within the kingdom of God, which leads to growth, or the kingdom of darkness, which leads to stagnation and death. The objective is to provide information to help people understand spiritual warfare and break cycles of ignorance and fear, so they can make informed

Spiritual DNA™
What you don’t know will most certainly destroy you!

2. Why so many problems in the world today?
• With Science advancing
• Problems are getting worse
– More violent crimes
– Shorter and unhappier marriages
– Rampant diseases
– Record hopelessness
– Accelerating poverty levels
– Dismally low personal engagement
• How could that be?
• When we know more than ever?

3. Has this ever happened to you?
• No matter what you do nothing works
• Things fall apart for no apparent reason
• You have a wave of disasters, one after the
other
• Experts can’t find what’s wrong with you
but you know there is something there
• It feels like something is blocking your path
• Other times things just work
• You accomplish much and you don’t know
how you managed to do it
• You have a “feeling” about something and
it turns out to be right
• When you look at things in nature you get
the feeling they can’t be the product of
chance
That something or “feeling” is very, very real even though Invisible.

7. Each system communicates differently
• Spirit  small still voice
(intuition, conscience)
• Mind  scientific logic
• Emotions  feelings
• Physical (body)  5 senses
• All are interrelated
• Mind + Emotions + Will = Soul
• You are a Spirit with a Soul that
lives in a Physical Body
The Spirit knows the direction and the Mind has to figure out the way.

8. The Spirit is little understood because science avoids it
The only real source of information on Spiritual Matters is The Bible

9. Spirit
•Still small voice
•Access to spirit world
•Knows what mind doesn’t
Soul
•Mediates between the two
•Mind, Will (choice) & Emotions
•Uses reason and logic
• Logic of Mind differs from that of Emotions
Body
•Responds to the senses
“… May your whole spirit,
soul and body be kept
blameless at the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Thes 5:23
“14For if I pray in a tongue, my
spirit prays, but my mind is
unfruitful.” 1 Cor 14:14
Triune nature of man

10. You become what dominates in your Spirit
• Your Spirit is where beliefs reside
– This is when you know things but can’t explain
why
– The mind usually misses the logic of the Spirit
– It must relax for you to hear what’s in your
Spirit
– Love is a simple example of how it works
– You become what you believe
• The real you resides here
• Your gifts and talents reside here
• The battle for success in your life
really takes place here
• That’s why no material stuff can fill a
hole that is here

11. The Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness
Your life is about a choice between two Kingdoms

12. What you get in your life is based on the laws you live by
The laws of the two Kingdoms are simple
Kingdom of Light = Growth enhances Life
= live for God
Kingdom of Darkness = Stasis (being stagnant) speeds up Death
= live by what pleases you only

13. The Kingdom of God
• Creator of all things (good)
• Live for God’s will and then
yours only if it does not
violate His laws
• First believe and then see
the proof (faith)
• Law of Love and Giving
• Concern for self and others
• Cares for your wellbeing
• Benefits come at the end
The Kingdom of Satan
• Imitator of all things (nasty)
• Live for yourself and then only
seek God when in real trouble
you can’t get yourself out of
• Look for proof first and then
make up your mind (doubt)
• Law of Pride and Taking
• Concern for self only
• Only cares about its agenda
• Benefits come at the beginning
Following the Kingdom of God is not a part-time thing

14. Growth (Life)= Effort x Order (Laws) x Delayed Gratification
= solve problems x obey laws x stick to a process
This is how it works in practice
Stasis (Death)= One or more missing in E x O x DG (entropy)
= Caused by Ignorance or Fear (doubt)
It’s those small daily choices that matter the most

15. Growth requires hard work which can be unpleasant.
Stasis and Death often appear juicy or harmless but rarely are
But why would anyone not choose Growth and Life?
Often it is down to plain old ignorance and fear.
A few minutes of rest can end up lasting for years (frog principle).
Leading to the choice being unintentional.

16. • The only way in is through Jesus Christ.
Believe Him and His laws
• He came to wrestle earthly power away
from Satan
• Satan was an anointed cherub in
heaven and was filled with pride
• This sin led to him being cast out
• In time he tricked Adam into sinning
and took over earth’s dominion
• Jesus came to take this dominion back
and restore man’s standing with God
• God’s plan is for man to enter into His
Kingdom again
• He talks to you through your spirit
• Satan’s agenda is to keep you out
• Without Jesus you are doomed!
Kingdom of God basics

17. • The enemy (Satan and his demons) has
already been defeated
• You’ve been given power over them
• But you must walk closely with God
and follow His laws
• If you don’t the enemy will trick you
into backsliding and harass you
• All Satan wants is to use you to do his
destructive work
• On your own you stand no chance
• His ‘blessings’ are always tricks
• Which is why you need to walk closely
with God every moment
Being a follower of the Kingdom of God

18. Walking with God
• Understand this is a fulltime commitment
• Believe Jesus Christ and obey His laws
• Then your Spirit gets renewed
• But your soul (mind and emotions) remain as
before, hostile to God’s laws
• You now need to feed your mind with the Word
(understand the laws in detail)
• Your new Spirit and renewed mind (Soul) will
dominate your body so you obey the laws
• Satan will always use the body to tempt you. It’s
wired to respond to the senses
• On your own you can’t win this battle
• This is where God’s Holy Spirit comes in to help
you, but you must listen and obey

19. Remember Satan just never gives up
• He will keep poking around at your defences
looking for weaknesses
• When he does he’ll make you feel like
following Christ is a waste of your time
• He’ll bring all sorts of tricks and problems
• When you fall simply repent and get up again
• Your only defence is being with Jesus Christ
• Use His name to rebuke the enemy but you
must believe His promises all the time
• You fortify yourself by being in good standing
with God and His laws
• God is pure and doesn’t tolerate sinfulness,
which is why repenting is key

20. How you open the way for Satan to attack
• You go it alone and disobey God’s laws
– He removes His protection over you
– This is why Israel was punished in the Old Testament
• You participate in activities dedicated to him
or go to ‘his’ places
– This gives him the legal right to attack you
– You can’t beat a strongman in his house
• He capitalises on your ignorance of the
power you have over him in Jesus Christ
– Your power and authority are useless if you don’t know
how to use them
– Here he’s just taking chances and you let him
• As a Christian it is up to you to use the
authority you have over Satan
– If you don’t he stays and brings misery to your life

21. This brings us back to our thesis that …
Ask yourself: “By the laws of which Kingdom am I living?”

22. The evidence of his attacks
• If you are a Christian
– He can’t touch your Spirit
– He messes up with your soul and body
• Relationships fall apart
• Your assets just disintegrate
• Resources dry up; he withholds them
• Things fall apart at the last minute for no reason
• You experience periods of utter emotional emptiness
• At times suffering happens because God
gets more glory from your up-nosing him
– Job remained loyal despite his trials
– Apostle Paul praised God despite his ‘thorn’
• The reason things are falling apart
– Is not just because your planning is poor
– It’s because you are under spiritual attack
– How have you opened the door to the enemy?

23. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there
Which is why you must arm yourself with knowledge

24. Solving your Visible problems
• Your visible problems fall into these three groups
– Mind  learning and growing (resources)
– Emotions  relationships (including with yourself)
– Body  diseases
• The roadmap shows how the Kingdom of God offers
solutions to all these problems
• Emphasis is on the practical things you can do now
• For this to happen you must understand God’s
purpose and Jesus Christ’s role
• And what your part in it is
• And then make a decision to do it
• You already have many great tools
• But you cannot do it alone
• You must connect permanently to the Source (God)
through your Spirit
• This is how you defeat the enemy

25. The objective of Spiritual DNA is ...
• To give you wholistic information about
forces affecting your life
• To break the cycle of ignorance and fear
that keeps you captive
• Spiritual warfare is real whether you
believe it or not
• Satan is highly active now that his time
is getting shorter and shorter
• You need only look around you
• If you’re not God’s you’re his!
• But there’s a way out, take it now
• Make a decision to follow Christ
• We’ll give you the information and
support
• To bring positive change in your life

26. How you see yourself makes all the difference!
