This is the 3rd animation of the teaching Spirit, Soul and Body, which is a foundational truth that is essential for understanding how much God loves you and believing what He says about you in His Word. Each person is made up of three different parts: spirit, soul, and body. Learn how these three parts relate to God and to each other. At salvation your spirit is totally changed, but your soul and body is not yet redeemed. This series will teach you how to release the life that is already in your spirit, into your physical body and emotions.
the rest of the Christian life is a
renewing of the mind and as we do that
then the physical body will experience
the benefit here’s another scripture
that says this in Romans chapter 12
verse 1 it says I beseech you therefore
brethren by the mercies of God that you
present your body a living sacrifice
holy acceptable unto God which is your
reasonable service and be not conformed
to this world but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind that you may prove
what is that good and acceptable and
perfect will of God that’s Romans 12
verses 1 & 2 in verse 2 it says don’t be
conformed to this world the word conform
their means to be poured into the mold
of in other words there’s pressure from
the world from the devil from
unbelievers from circumstances you can’t
go through life without being pressured
you come into this life innocent and
pure but you don’t exit that way just
automatically your going to be melted
but you get to pick what mold you fit
into that word transformed in the Greek
is the word Metamorpho and it’s the word
we get metamorphosis from the process
where a little worm spends a cocoon and
then comes out a butterfly if you want
that kind of transformation change
metamorphosis so that you begin to start
in your physical and emotional realm
changing from the bitter hurtful person
from the sick person from the defeated
person into the victorious person that
God wants you to be if you want that
kind of change the way it happens Romans
12:2 says is by the renewing of your
mind how do you renew that man it’s
through the Word of God God’s Word tells
you what is spiritually true it gives
you new values new attitudes and you
have to conform yourself to what God’s
word has to say about you
the knowledge of God’s Word is critical
you’ve got to have it
but you’ve got to have the understanding
of that knowledge the application of it
in other words knowledge is like taking
food
and putting it in your mouth it’s the
first step but you know what you
actually have to swallow that food and
your body has to start digesting it
before all of the nutrients and the
benefit and that food begins to release
into your body the knowledge of God is
important but it’s only important if you
can understand it if you can begin to
release the life that’s in it in
Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 17 he says
this I say therefore and testify in the
Lord that ye henceforth walk not as
other Gentiles walk in the vanity of
their mind
now the word Gentile here is talking
about a non Jew the way we would express
this today is say don’t walk like a lost
man a person that doesn’t have a
relationship with God if you don’t begin
to start thinking spiritually minded
instead of carnal minded then you will
shut off the flow of the life of God
through you a scripture that goes along
with this is Romans 8:6 and that verse
says to be carnally minded is death but
to be spiritually minded is life and
peace carnal mindedness doesn’t mean
necessarily sinful mindedness now all
sin is carnal but not all carnality is
sin the word carnal literally means of
the five senses in other words don’t let
your mind be dominated only by what it
can see tastier smelling feel you can
perceive reality beyond that your soul
can through faith
you can believe the Word of God and you
can you can believe things that you
can’t see in other words you could do it
like a mathematical formula spiritual
mindedness equals life and peace carnal
mindedness equals death this isn’t
talking about only physical death but
depression is death death is anything
that’s a result of sin whether it’s the
ultimate physical death of your body or
if it’s talking about the slow death of
emotional sadness loneliness bitterness
anger all of those things so it says
that if you walk like a Gentile then you
aren’t using your mind for spiritual
things you’re just dominated by the
natural that produces a darkening of the
understanding and then
it says being alienated from the life of
God through the ignorance that is in
them because of the blindness of their
heart if you are dominated by physical
natural things instead of by spiritual
truth it a lien AIT’s you from the life
of God and this is what’s happened with
most of us we have not thought the way
God thought here’s a scripture in
Philemon Paul wrote this to a friend of
his Philemon and he prayed a prayer for
him and in verse 6 Philemon chapter 1
verse 6 he prayed that the communication
of your faith may become effectual by
the acknowledging of every good thing
which is in you in Christ Jesus this is
a radical statement he says the
communication the release or transfer of
your faith may become effectual the word
effectual means it just begins to work
begins to be productive and how does
that happen
he said by the acknowledging of every
good thing which is in you in Christ
Jesus
he didn’t say that your faith begins to
work by getting more faith by going to
God and getting a new anointing a double
portion getting more of God see those
are concepts that you’ll hear often but
the truth is that’s not reality there is
a process of renewing the mind it’s not
instantaneous it’s not just one thought
that changes your life but this one
thought is so radical it would begin the
process and there there is patience and
there’s a growth in the Solis realm
understanding maturing but if you just
believe that one truth how radically
that would change our lives you do have
the potential to believe it you can
renew your mind and if you will renew
your mind then you can be transformed
and to where you will prove manifest to
your physical senses the good the
acceptable and the perfect will of God
if you will embrace the things that
we’ve talked about you can get to where
you start seeing this perfection that
came into your spirit at salvation begin
to start flowing out through your soul
and through your body to where it not
only impacts you physically but it’ll
even flow out beyond you and
such other people and you can see virtue
flow out of you the way that Jesus did
and see other people healed and it is
now given me a different attitude that
gives me a confidence and a security and
a belief that allows me to confront
problems and overcome problems that I
wasn’t able to confront before I believe
that this same teaching will do the same
thing for you I encourage you that to
recognize the importance of what we’ve
talked about I’d only scratched the
surface
we’ve got more teaching that we’re going
to be doing on this I’m going to be
saying in so many different ways that
praise God I believe you’re going to get
it and I just praise God I believe that
this truth will set you free the way
that it is impacted my life
