Spirit, Mind, Soul and Body

As I was praying I felt the Lord telling me to share some of the many things that he has taught me in this area.

Before I begin, some points to note:

– by Spirit, I mean a spiritual being which tends to purely spiritual things, that part of us that would like to be in heaven!

– by Mind, I mean our “humaness”, that part of us that tends towards earthly things such as reading the paper!

– by Soul, I am talking about the part that oversees the other two, the referee!

Note: each of these has a seperate intelligence and will!

Somebody that is too spiritual will may forget to eat, while somebody who is too earthly will forget to pray and somebody who is too “souly” will spend too much time thinking and may neither eat nor pray!!

Amazing : The human person is made of of spirit, mind and soul, all of which have an intellgence and a will, which when working in harmony give a happy balanced person. Remind you of anything? The Holy Trinity, 3 persons, one God?! Father son and Holy Spirit united in perfect love!

 

Spirit and Body

The Spirit “envelopes” the body and when the Spirit is healthy it will bring health and vitality to the body.

However, the same as the body can get injured, so too can the spirit, and an injury in the spiritual body will lead to an imbalance in the corresponing place of the physical body.

Note: This is why people mention demons being in somebody’s leg etc. It’s not that they are actually in the leg, put they are in the part of the spirit that wraps around the leg! (in the spiritual leg if you want!)

Harmony

Ideally, all would be working in harmony. A glowing spirit, permeating the body bringing balance life and happiness. This is how God created Adam and Eve.

 

Disharmony

Sin cut Adam and Eve’s spirits from God, and thus their spiritual food, thus bringing spiritual death, and all the knock on effects on the physical realm, sickness etc.

Baptism

Jesus came to save us, not to “fix” our old spirits, but in fact to give us new spirits!

Thus after baptism, the human person has in fact 2 spirits, the old one (the flesh), that even though dead spiritually tries to pull us into sin and death, and the new spirit through Jesus who leads us into life.

The Battle

Thus the human being becomes a battle field.

The old spirit and Satan v The new Spirit and God!

It’s a bit like a soccer match! Every time the person choses one and not the other he gives them a point. Those with the most points gain the most influence!

Thus the importance of discernment in our lives

– God

– Satan

– The unredeemed man

– The new man

 

I will continue this subject…!

 

Inner wounds, demons, curses….confused?!

This morning as I was praying I asked God to help me better understand the healing process and this is what the Spirit put into my head!

Imagine a child, living in a house. Imagine this same child has an open wound on his leg. Now imagine that the house is quite dirty and that some dirt got into the wound. Now imagine that on top of that, that there are many flies in the house spreading more disease and infection.

Where is this going? Let me explain

1. The child is me and you

2. The wound represents our inner wounds, past traumas, painful memories such as bullying or the death of a loved one.

3. Dirt in the wound represents evil spirits that get into our lives who then live off the wound (and make it worse).

4. The flies represent more unclean spirits from our family tree, curses, sins of our family going back the generarions etc. (these are there through no direct fault of our own)


The Healing Process

So imagining this worst case scenario, wounded child, who has dirt in the wound and flies swarming around…(best not to read this after food!)

To clean the wound,

1. Get the dirt out (demons) by deliverance, cutting ties with all evil activity.

2. Protect the wound from the ‘flies’ by

Cutting contact with some people, avoiding certain conversations, activities etc.

Getting prayer for family tree, curses broken etc.

The house doesn’t necessarily have to be free of flies, the wound simply needs to be protected from them!

3. Bath the wound in the love of Jesus, letting out the hurt and pain and inviting in the Holy Spirit.

Some interesting points!

I learnt a few things from this!

1. That even in the purest of families where there were no demons and a perfect family tree, we would still have our inner wounds to deal with. In other words, we can’t blame the devil for everything! Poor fellow!

2. Some demonic infiltrations are due to our own negligences, say for example practicing tarot etc. while others are not. I guess it is quite similar to physical illnesses, some we pick up while others we inherit.

2. Demons can cause “manageable wounds” to become unmanageable and can slow down the healing process as they swarm around the wound trying to get back in.

3. It made me reflect on our responsibilites towards others! In Europe it is forbidden to smoke inside of bars and pubs due to the dangers of passive smoking! …Ever though of passive spirituality?!

Lord Jesus, fill us, heal us and transform us from the inside out!
