T#032 KNOWING with UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE and WHAT MAKES YOU --- THE real YOU!



UNDERSTAND
WHO YOU
ARE

IN TOTALITY


that you can be truly

effective at relating

with your 1-self, with 2-GOD

and with 3-your fellow - man

in every situation 

in this world --- spiritually!


We are made up of SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY. (>>1st Thessalonians 5:23)

Spirit and soul are different from each other. (>>Hebrews 4:12)


 

BODY


(gets us to relate ourselves with THE WORLD's people, places & events)

 

MAKES US ACT



SKELETAL
MUSCULAR
CIRCULATORY
NERVOUS
DIGESTIVE
RESPIRATORY
REPRODUCTIVE
EXCRETORY
SYSTEMS

(Needs proper food and exercise/breathing for its functioning)

Mere Servant

(If you make any of these 8 systems dictate upon you; that is, you readily act without first consulting the dictates of your spirit, then you are CARNAL, not spiritual!)

All our bodily organs, bones, and flesh… all these go to the grave when we DIE.

MORTAL
part of man

{subject to time & space-location}

(Never to be disregarded)

To be RIGHTLY MANAGED

because as a mere servant, its basis for action may sometimes be right at times wrong.


SOUL


(gets us to relate ourselves with OUR PERSON or self)


MAKES US UNDERSTAND


FREE WILL
=grants us the exercise of choice

INTELLIGENCE
=makes us rationalize

EMOTION
=makes us feel

URGES & APPETITE
=satiable desires
(Needs appropriate knowledge and experience for its functioning)

STEWARD ONLY

(If you make any or all of these 4 rule over you; that is, you act immediately without first consulting the dictates of your spirit, then you are SOULISH, not spiritual ! !



S-elf
   Control
O-pinions
U-nreasoned
   Opinions
L-usts



IMMORTAL
part of man

(Never to be disregarded)

To be RIGHTLY MANAGED

because as  steward only, its decisions relayed for action to the body may sometimes be right at times wrong.

 

spirit



(gets us to relate ourselves with GOD)


MAKES US KNOW


INTUITION
=truth coming directly from GOD

CONSCIENCE
=being able to tell right from wrong coming directly from GOD

SENSE OF COMMUNION WITH GOD 
=sense of just being one with GOD

(Needs THE   WORD of GOD and prayer for its functioning)




master



(If you reckon and act according to its dictates, you are spiritual!!!)

The essence of LIFE breathe   to us by GOD!!!


IMMORTAL
part of man

To be INTENTLY LISTENED TO AND HEEDED TO WITHOUT QUESTION

because as master, its dictates will always be according to THEWILL of GOD.



The
SPIRITUAL PERSON

makes:(1) a MASTER of his spirit after it is indwelt by The Holy Spirit, (2) a steward only of his soul, and
(3) a servant only of his body.


The
SOULISH PERSON repeatedly gives proof to his ignorance to the facts herein every time he makes his will, intelligence, emotion and his urges and appetites reign supreme in his life.




The

CARNAL PERSON

 reckons only with his body.








The brain is of the body, while intelligence is of the soul; just as the heart is of the body while emotion is of the soul.


Just as temperature (non-matter) and thermometer (matter) are two different but closely associated things that independently exist even without the other, so shall our emotion and intelligence (both non-matter) continue to exist even with our heart and brain (both matter) already rotten in the grave.


It is the spirit in us that makes us know;
it is our soul that makes us understand,
it is with our body that we get things done.


We are either right or wrong in our understanding and in our actions; this is why, we have to manage rightly our soul and body. This is why neither of both should ever reign supreme in our lives. In fact, in every instance they are mistaken, they have to be made right according to the dictates of what we hear as right --- from the spirit.


WISDOM is known by us through our spirit ....
is ideally later understood by our soul ....
and thereafter consequently translated ....
into action by our body.


>>Genesis 2:7 = Then THE LORD GOD formed man of dust from the ground, and breathe into his nostrils the breath or essence of LIFE [the spirit]; and man became a live personality.

>>Genesis 3:19 = By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground; because part from it you were taken, for you are part dust, and to that dust you shall return [not as ashes].

>>Ecclesiastes 12:7 = Then the body will return to the earth [by decent burial] as it was [part of], and the spirit will return to GOD WHO provided it [to you].

>>Hebrews 9:27 = Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face >>>THE JUDGMENT

>>2nd Corinthians 5:10 = For we must all appear before THE JUDGMENT SEAT of THE CHRIST; that every one may receive the rewards or punishment relative to the things resulting from his body's actions, whether good or bad.
