SPIRIT in MAN? Just what is it?
I love to share this wonderful truth;
Spirit in man is God breathed essence within. If your soul is the seat of your emotions, choices, and thoughts, then your “spirit” is something far deeper. Your spirit is the sacred core of your being, the eternal part of you from God.
Job 32:8 says, "But there is a “spirit in man”, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding." When God breathed into Adam's lifeless form, that breath wasn't just air. It was spirit, God breathed, the “spirit in man”..
The spirit in you is not just a feeling. It is not your gut instinct or even your intuition. It is the God implanted essence of your life, your true self, made to commune with the Divine.
Your spirit is not shaped by culture, trauma, or circumstances. It doesn't shift with the weather of your emotions. It isn't limited by education, status, or background. Your spirit is where you can KNOW God, Hear God, and Respond to God.
Proverbs 20:27: The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the innermost parts of Being. God uses your spirit to search and guide you. It is in the “spirit of man” where His light shines, where His voice echoes, where His presence dwells.
How unfortunate that many believers live their entire lives without ever truly engaging with their “spirit”. They feed their minds, nurture their emotions, and attend to their physical needs, but their spirit remains malnourished, unheard, and untouched.
When your spirit is awakened, when it is born of God; as you placed your FAITH in the Divine Person- Jesus and Trust His” Finished Works”.. your spirit begins to hunger for God, to crave His presence, to walk in truth and holiness, and it becomes the leader, having pre-eminence, aligning your soul and body under God's rule.
In that harmony of spirit, soul and body begins “true transformation” Not from the “outside in”, but from the “inside out” Phil 2:12
Remember, You are not just a physical being trying to have a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being walking through a temporary physical life. And once your spirit comes alive, nothing in this world will satisfy you the way God does.
