The Soul

THE SOUL
Galatians 5:17
Wednesday, January 20, 2016

We often say that the flesh and the spirit are in continuous contention, of course scriptures backs it, saying they lust after themselves and are contrary to each other;  The question then is, what are they fighting for? No one fights without a cause.

The spirit and the flesh are two husbands fighting for a woman called the soul. The spirit and the body cannot cohabit without the soul. The soul is what brings the spirit and the flesh together into existence. The soul is the center of life and control.

Another way of saying this is that the soul is the cockpit of everyman.  The soul consists of the mind, emotions, intellect and will basically. It is the desire of the flesh and spirit to influence your mind, emotions, intellect and will so as to rule over your soul.

If you are a believer the spirit of God lives in your spirit. Scriptures say in Romans 12:2 says that we should not conform to this world (manifested through the desires of the flesh) but we should be transformed by the renewing of our mind. We do this through prayer, the word, worship…

In the battle of the soul you decide who wins, whether the flesh or the spirit. If you empower the flesh it will defeat the spirit, but if you empower the spirit it would defeat the flesh, so you determine your paths by your investment.

The kingdom of the world understands this mechanism and so they have organized enough corruptions through music, media, entertainment, etc so as to snatch the soul of a man through the flesh. They make the world more attractive, thereby empowering the flesh to defeat the Spirit.

So scriptures say, keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Prov 4:23) Beware of what you let into your heart, because it can control you. If you want to do God’s will then let his words be the greatest and largest investment that comes into the field of your heart.

SELAH: Guard your heart (soul) with all diligence!

Shalom
