    You Are Spiritually Matured If You Have "Perfect" Control Over These Things

    The phrase "Spiritual maturity" seems to many Christains a non-attainable feat while many have been doctrinated to believe "Spiritual maturity" can only be attained by the G.O's and "they"are mean't to be Spiritual reta'rds like the Galatians. Be it as it may,whatever it is,is totally unscriptural; a siege made to limit your full usage of your right as a Christain (A disciple of Christ).Spiritual maturity is attainable and you can grow into it in few days. But first we must understand what Spiritual maturity means.

    Contrary to what we have in the churches, Spiritual maturity is not a 'journey' requiring scores of years but a journey requiring simple 'Faith' in Christ. Spiritual maturity is a long maintained state of Spirit supremacy over all things that makes you "you." In saying what makes you,you I mean things that makes you a Spiritual reta'rd.

    And If you are have "perfect" control over the areas listed below then you are Spiritually matured by the Standard of Christ irrespective of what your church teaches.

    1. Anger: Anger brought down the great prophet Moses and caused him to be the one of the many who sees with their eyes but taste not with their mouth.Anger is a great hindrance to your growth into Spiritual maturity. To become a Spiritual giant in the Spiritual realm you need to subject anger. Remember no one heard a word of anger in his mouth.

    2. Flesh: Talk about the fall of Samson flesh caused it in form of lust. The flesh is not the only hinderance as believed but one of the many hindrances to Spiritual maturity, quick and deadly.You must subject your flesh in all it's form.

    3. Appetite: "How art the mighty fallen." Esau lost his birthright to appetite. The right to give birth to the natiom of Israel: for God has promised Isaac "To your seed" and Esau was the fist born; rightful heir but he lost it. Your appetite might hinder you from growing into Spiritual maturity.

    4. Tongue: What brought plague upon the Israelites? Tongue.What brought leprosy on Miriam? Tongue. Need I to say anything more on Tongue? You have to subject and control

    5. Jealousy: An inbuilt trait present in every single individual. Bad when supreme good when subjected.Spiritual maturity requires you to control your innate jealousy.

    6. Feelings And Emotions: Seems a major problem among Christain youths.But if you don't control your feelings and emotions your feelings and emotions will control you and when it does you can never attain Spiritual maturity.

    7. Thoughts And Imagination: When you have such a past like I had, thoughts and imagination becomes a great hindrance to your Spiritual growth into maturity.Notwithstanding, you have to have control over them and that is why there is number eight.

    8. Heart: "Out of the heart comes......." The Bible admonish us to guard our heart. The ability to gaurd your heart is Spiritual maturity. What comes in and goes out,who comes in and goes out must always be under your control.

    Seems hard,didn't it? But not when the Holy Spirit is involved. Remember by strength shall no man prevail even to say,you don't have power over your inner though you may do to some extent over your outer and these problems are inner. Not by power, nor by might but by my Spirit says the Lord.Remember, what the heart can conceive a man can achieve. Trust the Spirit and see if all these altogether will not be evident in your life

    In general life is about balance, and true peace comes from embracing your true nature, which is a mixture of both positive and negative energies. God knows we are not perfect, but as along as are heart is in the right place, and don't let the negative outweigh the postive we should be fine in this life and the one after.

    Yes, having a control over these things is crucial. I can say I personally have a pretty balanced control on the things mentioned above. However, sometimes, it is natural as well as important to not have control as well. Let me explain. These emotions and feelings, anger, jealousy, pain, love, etc. exist for a reason. They demand to be felt. Having a control of these things in necessary situations is important, but there is no such thing as perfect control. You feel what you feel, irrespective of how much control you have. But, if you do not show these emotions, you are just filling yourself with it. When you don't speak out what your heart wants to say, you will eventually end up venting out all at once and become overwhelmed by it. However, it is essential that you keep control on things in situations where you know that you have to, just because of the potential consequences. On the other hand, doing it all the time is not a healthy choice either. Its important to be sensitive, not just with people you deal with, but yourself too.

    I agree with this view. Self control is one of the most difficult things to master. But once you have it, its easier to let go of things that gets people rile up. He who has control over his spirit is stronger than he who takes a city.

    Thanks for this educative post. I have really learned a lot about spiritual maturity. I never thought about this points. I will have to agree I have no control over few points you mentioned but I am still glad the feeling ends before I fall into temptation. Having the Holy Spirit will help us into attaining spiritual maturity.

    Spiritual maturity comes from one's own decision and conviction to one's faith. You adhere to the truth and reject the lies of the physical world. You give yourself to God fully and without doubts. But it's not just a one time thing. The greatest challenge comes from maintaining your spiritual maturity as days, months, and years go by.

    Unfortunately, I can probably say that I don’t have sufficient control over any of these things, at least not sufficiently enough to be able to call myself spiritually mature. I’ve definitely been working really hard at it, but some days it honestly feels like my own mind is working against me, and I (figuratively) start taking a sledgehammer to the foundation which I’ve worked so hard to build.

    Sometimes it makes you wonder if there is more to mental healing than just meditation, yoga, and eating a vegan diet, haha.

    You are right with anger because that was my problem when I was younger. When I get angry, I would flare up and I wouldn’t care if anyone would be hurt. When I am angry that means I lose control of myself. But as I grew older, I have changed from that bad attitude that I may have mellowed. Now I can control my anger although it still depends on the cause of it.
