Spirit, Soul & Body

This is one of the most profound spiritual truths you will ever read.  It is the key to understanding spiritual growth, your standing in Christ, and how to live victoriously.  The lack of understanding the spirit, soul and body has brought defeat and discouragement to most Christians. The ONLY THING THAT GET'S SAVED AND PERFECTED at salvation is your spirit.  Your soul, which is your emotions, mind, will, imagination and conscience, and your body, which are your 5 senses only becomes SANCTIFIED through your walking in the SPIRIT after you are saved.  You are only made a new creation in your spirit! Jesus said, "That which is born of the Spirit is spirit, and that which is born of the flesh is flesh." in John chapter 3. The flesh and body are still the same as they were before you found Christ.  That is why your soul and body still have the same issues after you are saved. If you smoked and did drugs before salvation, your body will still crave them until the power of deliverance comes through the Spirit in your spirit by the blood and name of Christ.  Paul said, "They that walk in the Spirit will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh".  He never said your flesh would stop desiring the same old things. But now that Christ dwells in your spirit by faith, you have the potential to overcome all things!  The key is learning to "walk in the Spirit".  For me, praying in the Spirit daily really helps tune me in to the Holy Spirit's voice.  (that is praying in tongues as well as with understanding like Paul the apostle).  Reading the word of God tunes me into the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God and reveals them to my spirit through the Word of God!  Fellowshipping with others who "walk in the Spirit" and talking about spiritual things helps me tune into the Holy Spirit's voice.  Paul also said, "I die daily".  What does that mean.  Paul learned to "Recon himself crucified with Christ, buried with Christ, risen with Christ, seated with Christ and now reigning with Christ" by the power of the Holy Spirit! (please go to my teaching on the book of Romans chapters 5-7)  By walking in the Spirit, you diminish the effect that your soul and body have on you.  They become obedient to the voice of God and eventually every "thought is brought into captivity to Christ", as Paul said. 

TEACHING IS VITAL TO YOUR GROWTH
