spiritual and material are two different dimensions.

when you get it right in the Spirit the material comes together too Matthew 6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."
this helped me=when people arnt happy or feel sufficient seek material to take God's place-search the heart
well Romans 1 says it comes from being unthankful and worshiping the created instead of the creator in rejecting Jesus salvation.
All I can say is pray, Jesus still loves each one of us heart and soul and delivers all who will give him control. John 3 praying for you, David

That's is your problem, they are not two different demensions. When we turn from our sins and receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, God gives us the gift of the Holy Ghost, God Himself. He is known as the Comforter. He is the manifestation of God in our life. The Bible says that we will not stop having troubles, but God will be there in the midst of them, holding our hand. It also says that the early Christians met daily and had favor with God and Men. Jesus came to bring us life and life more abundantly. My life has gotten so much better since I invited the Holy Spirit to come into my life and take over my body. He has delivered me from all of my addictions and depression with peace and joy and He brought me a good wife the very next day. I am never in any lack or need. I never feel alone anymore and I will praise Him forever more!

I think that if you build a relationship with GOD and trust in him everything else will fall into place. I was a lost soul for many years. I decided to bring GOD back into my life. I put all my faith and trust in him. I am MUCH happier and peacful now. My life has a great balance and I enjoy each day. It made a wonderful difference

True satisfaction comes of spiritual origin. You can be living in that million dollar mansion but feel SO alone, so despondent, so UNNECESSARY. To make things favorable, step on the good foot and walk on the right hand of the LORD!

As a Zen master once said: The True way to Enlightenment and Happiness is... Eat your Rice, Do your Work, Drink your Tea go to Sleep.
Do what you need to do, bring harmony between you and everyone you meet and make favorable your own life because no one is going to do it for you.

I certainly hope that you have a Bible. If not, I pray with all my heart that you will get one... Soon! With all due respect, I don't know where you got your ideas! Every human being is made of all three aspects of what a human consists of. When these are balanced in the individual, the person is whole,
complete, at peace, healthy and happy.
The first step to come to this is to learn about the One who created all things, and not just about the things He created and gave us all the similar ability to create as well.
The second step is to make sure of all things and not swallow every silly utterance which man preach in his name who also kill in his name. But as you read in John 17: 3, and 1 Thessalonians 5: 21, learn all you can from the only book which claims divine inspiration on earth, the Bible...
2 Timothy 3: 16; 2 Peter 1: 21, 22; for it is from a God who cannot lie... (Titus 1:2), (Hebrews 6: 18).
Third step would be the same as the first one as it were, since the very minute you walk one single step towards getting to know the True, Living (who never did or will die for even a split second!) and Eternal God, and ask for a portion of His holy spirit to help you along, he will be there to make the rest of the way with you... and you will begin to feel the effect of that spirit within you as it is a very active force and very much alive and present in the lives of all who pray for it in the name of God's son Jesus... who is the only intermediary between us and Him, by means of the perfect ransom which he gave our heavenly Father with the death of his perfect life, when he actually satisfied divine justice... (from the sin, which had given rise to the most important question and issue ever posed in the whole history of the universe; namely who has the right to rule?)
Time itself, will soon show who has the last word on this issue of absolute sovereignty as only that true God has it. That God is absolute Love, Wisdom, Power and Justice
and knows what is best for all of us but will not force us because then, we would not be loving Him as He deserves but would be mere robots and that is not what He created when He and His son made us (Adam and Eve) six thousand years ago to us. It may seem like a long time to you but keep in mind that this is only six days ago to them. 2 Peter 3: 8.
If that is hard to fanthom, just imagine the life-span of an ant compared to yours and will get the gist of it. Anyhow, you might already be thinking that I am saying too much!!!
so I'll have to stop here but not before I ask you to read Galatians 5: 21, 22; which show you what those fruits of the spirit of God in your life can do for you... as opposed to the two verses just prior to those, which speak of the things to avoid if you wish to keep that spirit of God active in your life and not burning its fire with the works of the flesh as it were. You may contact me for more if necessary but a simple prayer 1 Thessalonians 5: 17, will do more for you, always in the name of Christ... to help you draw close to God who in return promises to draw close to you through that incredible spirit of his... that same one that created the sun! A fiery furnace just standing there in mid-air, warming us up and allowing all men to eat and live... yes! that same active force is what belongs to those who put their faith, (just the size of a mustard seed even) in the Word of the true and loving God of gods and of all things on earth and above. In the name of His son Jesus, I pray that the peace of that One that excels all thought, will be with you from this very day on to Eternity itself, as this also is a promise from Him who cannot lie. Revelation 21: 3, 4; Acts 24: 15.

Roll the dice and spin the wheel, it's a crap shoot....even hard work won't guarantee anything. Although it does seem that subterfuge and conniving seem to work very well in the business world.
