Pattern and Principles: Spirit, Soul and Body

Pattern and Principles: Spirit, Soul and Body

Pattern and Principles: Spirit, Soul (mind, will and emotion) and Body – 1 Tess. 5: 23

As humans we are tripartite in nature. We have a spirit, a soul and a body. Some other religions (or worldview), do not agree with the bible on the nature of man. Most pantheistic worldview (including New Age) exclude the human spirit.

When we genuinely believe and confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, then God’s Spirit bear witness with our spirit, and bring our spirit to life (this is what is called being Born-Again).

Regardless of how long you’ve been in church or wherever you are reading this – if you know your spirit is disconnected from the Holy Spirit, please pray and God to be your Savior and Lord. Too many attend “church services” but are spiritually dead, those are the people that are easily blown back and forth by doctrines (traditions) of men, rather than God’s eternal truth and His perfect will – rare in our generation.

Human body is very complex, but biology (and the various sub-specialties) has really helped knowing the systems of human body. It is through the body, that information from the external (physical) world come into our soul. Fives senses bring information into the frontal lobe for decisions.

Our body systems often react to external stimuli, circumstances and activities, glands release hormones based on activities, and information are stored either in the hippocampus (intellect) and amygdala (emotional) and are often references for decision making by the frontal lobe in varying circumstances.

Often our brain (the engine room) want to follow what our systems is doing, and our systems is following what we allow into our soul. So our lives are inadvertently being run by the things we allow in through our senses (body) into our soul.

Human soul is where the battle is in our life. It is the first stop of all the crap and good things we allow in (cerebral frontal cortex or frontal lobe). The frontal cortex now liase with the hippocampus or the amygdala to determine the decisions we make. This is why, Paul the apostle said, we must be Transformed by the renewing of our mind (the crap we’ve allowed in over the years).

We can and must renew our Mind with God’s word. We can and we must also learn to submit our will to God’s will, meaning after we make a decision, we must have the guts to follow through, even if we are alone or it means death. This is where many “christians” fail, external circumstances often prevent us from doing what we already know to be true in God’s word – so we compromise and somehow explain our compromise with “christanese”.

I feel led to share the above again today, because God wants someone to stop the religious shenanigan and come to Christ through spiritual rebirth. Someone, need to protect his/her senses from the crap that you are feeding it, someone need to be transformed by renewing his/her mind with God’s Truth, not some half-baked lie-coated ears itching messages you’ve been raised with.

I’ll let the Holy Spirit take it from here, message delivered – please yield, don’t be stubborn.
