“It amazes me to see the power of positive thinking operating in the lives of people who don’t even know the Lord. They apply principles of God’s Word and get results.”

Rom 8:7 Die dinge waarmee die sondige natuur van die mens hom besig hou, is immers vyandskap teen God. Die sondige natuur onderwerp hom nie aan die wet van God nie, dit kan trouens ook nie.
Paulus gebruik die woordpneumatikoi (letterlik, geestelikepersoon) ommensetebeskryfwat in pas bly met die pneuma (Gees) van God. Die woord "spiritualiteit" stam van die Latynse word spiritualitas , en houverband met die byvoeglikenaamwoordspiritualis (geestelike).

Nee (1968:45), het bv die volgendestellinggemaak: “Man can be moved to tears, can confess his sin, can consider redemption reasonable, can profess his interest in religion, can read the Bible and pray, can even testify with joy; but still his spirit has not received God’s life and therefore remains as dead as before.

Wommackwaarsku en sê “Mere beliefs and motile religious transformation theories, which can be processed by the corporeal and psychological capacities of a person, do not birth spiritual transformation or constitute Christian spirituality, due to the absence of the Spirit (Wommack 2007:133).
“The difference between psychofortology and spiritual fortology is the following: Despite the fact that both operate within the paradigm of constructive and positive human empowerment (the fortification of human dignity and meaningful living), psychofortology uses the inner psychic potential/energy of human behavior,
while spiritual fortology uses the indwelling charisma of the Spirit and fruit of the Spirit to set free a courage to be and a spirit of hope that is not merely dependent on inner human potential but on the interplay between the biblical text, appropriate God images and the eschatological reshaping and transformation of the being qualities of human beings (human beings as a new creation due to Christ’s death on the cross and his resurrection).
One can call this pneumatological empowerment and affirmation of human beings: Christian spiritual humanisation; spiritual humanness and spiritual human dignity. In terms of Christian theology, spiritual fortigenetics is inhabitational theology, i.e. the energy of the Spirit within the inner human potentials.”
