We are accelerating into our future, accelerating into the new things God has for us.
Your spirit is what makes you God conscious, your soul is what makes you conscious of yourself, and your body is the thing that makes you aware of the world around you. We are increasing more in the revelation of this.
Every child’s spirit is being created alive to God so that the parent can fill that spirit with the ways of God. If that spirit is filled with the ways of God, when it becomes aware, it will make the decision for God. ⁶Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6, NKJV).
Even though someone may have ways that they live life that look contrary to what they believe, if they have made a decision for God at the age of accountability, they are still God’s child. A real born-again experience is a real born-again experience. You can’t undo a real born-again experience. Doesn’t matter how much garbage comes into your head or into your life.
When we teach and train our children in the ways of God, they will watch what we do and not do what we say. What are we showing them? Are we teaching them that God is only a part of their life, but He’s not the most important part of their life? I’m showing him with my life example, I’m showing him that your physical development is very important, your intellectual development is very important, and the way that you live with people is very important, and all the while, I’m relegating God to a formal position in the household.
Say: My life is a living example before the Lord and my family. God and serving God is the most important part of my life.
We are three part beings. Just because we’ve spent so much of our life developing our bodies and developing our soul does not mean that when you are now born again that you are automatically now a spiritual giant. We have to train our spirit man.
What does a highly developed soul look like?
A highly developed soul has got a lot of opinions, especially about the church and the spiritual leaders.
When we start to develop the spirit life and give enough time for our spirit man to grow, now our spirit man can start guiding us and be the lamp in our soul, be the light in our hearts. That spirit man, out of which all the issues of life flows, becomes alive to God. You are now abiding in Him and He’s abiding in you. That spirit man has got a chance to contest what your soul is telling you, because your soul had so much growing, so much developing, so much promoting, so much stuff, your soul is dominating your whole future unless the spirit man’s got a chance.
Say: I am prepared to give my spirit man enough growth so that my spirit man can get strong enough so that it can change the future of the soul man that wants to dominate me forever.
God wants us to first grow our spirit man, so that when our soul has got things that it can learn in the natural, natural tools that the spirit man knows how to use, not the soul telling the spirit man what it can do. Because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. And the greatest one, that’s Jesus, is in you and nothing is beyond your asking or your doing, if you do it in Him and Him in you. Then the full power of the human being can be released. But we want to limit ourselves to our souls and our body. We don’t want to give enough to the spirit man. We want to relegate the spirit man to a couple of minutes in the morning and maybe church on a Sunday.
The most powerful you is the renewed, recreated Jesus that’s inside of you. If you do not see the spiritual results yet of what you’re wanting to become, don’t quit on the spirit life and go back to growing what you know to do in the soul. Because once you quit the spirit life and you keep going back to the soul life, you will never grow beyond the point you’ve just quit. That’s the point where you will always be limited. God wants us to move beyond that point.
Say: I’m a child of God. I obey the Holy Spirit. I receive the Word of God. I love Him. His words abide in me and because of that, I can ask whatever I want and He will do it for me. I thank you for it, Lord, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
