The body is the physical form of a
human. It is the container where the
spirit and soul reside. If the body is
always tired, sick, overextended, sluggish and malnourished, it is very
difficult for the spirit [the realm of your will is the area of your
feelings and heart issues] to pay attention to God, much less desire to do what
is right.
[1 Corinthians
6:19 NKJV]
"Or do you not know
that your body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit [who is] in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?"
There is an idea that prevails largely
today that man consists of only two component parts: namely, body and spirit. This view appears to be one that might create
confusion in the minds of many Christians. While soul and spirit are so closely
related that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish accurately between them,
there seems to be only one logical conclusion: namely, that “soul” and “spirit”
are not the same. The Bible does make a distinction.
Man is a triune being because he is created in the image of God. “God said, Let us make man in Our image” (Genesis 1:26 ). We know that God is a Trinity. The Holy Trinity is
clearly set forth in the Apostle Paul’s benediction that closed his Second
Corinthian Epistle: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of
God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians
13:14 ). Our Lord Himself said, in what we call “The Great
Commission”: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19).
Created in the image of God, man is likewise a trinity. He has a spiritual
nature that is separate and distinct from the body in which it dwells in.
[Genesis
1:26 NKJV]
"Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to
Our likeness; let them have
dominion over the fish of
the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all
the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
I love that God created a balance in the
creeping crawling things on earth - BUT they cannot live in my house - Outside
in Jesus' Name! Also notice, we have DOMINION
over ALL THE EARTH too. So if we walk
making worldly choices, we're give it all to the twerp.
If we walk in the Word [Jesus] we have a better life - OUR CHOICE.
Not only will a sluggish and malnourished body find it difficult
to enjoy and pay attention to the things of God, but it will also find it
difficult to ward off the attacks of the twerp [enemy].
[2 Corinthians
13:14
NKJV] "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
communion of the Holy Spirit [be] with you all. Amen.
[Matthew
28:19 NKJV] "Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"
Jesus came to
restore men and women created in His Father's image from sin, sickness and
broken hearts. Un-confessed sin will
keep you under an immense burden, a yoke to heavy for mankind to bear. Confess any sins, shift your focus off of
yourself, and look/talk to Abba [God Almighty], who is waiting to miraculously heal
you, set you free and most important, have an ASSURANCE in eternity with Him.
Body and [Soul] = mind, will and emotions, need to
get in line with God's Word! It is God's
will that you prosper in ALL things.
[3 John 1:2-3 NKJV] 2 Beloved,
I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, JUST AS YOUR SOUL
PROSPERS. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth
[that is] in you, just as you walk in the truth."
We do have a GOOD ABBA, who loves us
un-conditionally and always leaves a door open to repent and return to Him -
PRODIGALS it's not to late, but don't wait to much longer. He has a much better life for you - and
HE IS COMING SOON...
