How to Train the Human Spirit !

How to Train the Human Spirit: 4. Instantly Obeying the Voice of Your Spirit. The human spirit has a voice. We called that voice "conscience." Sometimes we called it "intuition," "an inner voice," or guidance." The world calls it "a hunch." What it is, use your spirit speaking to you. Every man's spirit and every woman's spirit, whether he or she is saved or unsaved, has a voice. The human spirit, as we have seen in the previous lessons, is a spiritual man or a spiritual woman, a spirit man, and inward and hidden man. He is hidden to the physical senses. You cannot see him with the physical eyes or touch him with your physical hands. This is the man who has become a new creature in Christ according to (2 Corinthians 5:17). When a man is born again, or when a woman is born again, there spirit is reborn. God prophesied through both Ezekiel and Jeremiah that a time would come when He would take the old stony heart out of men and put in a new one. He said that He would put His Spirit in us. Under the New Covenant, the New Birth becomes available. The New Birth is a rebirth of the human spirit. As (2 Corinthians 5:17) tells us, "if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature-- everything that was old in his or her spirit-- the old nature--- is taken away and all things become new. The only thing that did not become new was the soul or the mind and the body of mankind. You and I have to do our part as instructed in (Romans 12:1-2). I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you give this newborn spirit the privilege of meditating on the Word of God, and not on secularism, entertainment, and religious programming. This becomes the source of its information. Your spirit will become strong, and the inward voice of your conscience, educated in the spirit, will become a true guide, for "the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord." Your newborn spirit has within it the life and nature of God. I like to call it the D & A. The Holy Spirit dwells within your spirit. "Greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world" He didn't say in your edifices or your building you call church (1 John 4:4). The Holy Spirit dwells within you-- not in your head, but in your spirit. God has to communicate with you through your spirit because that is where He is. Your spirit gets its information through Him. Learn to obey your spirit ! If you are truly born again, you see you can join in you have to be born again. Some say that conscience is not a safe guide, but that statement is not always true. The conscience is a safe guide in the believer. Your conscience is the voice of your spirit; and the voice of your spirit can become the voice of God speaking to you. God uses your spirit to enlighten and guide you. And as your spirit has the privilege of meditating and feeding upon the Word of God, it increasingly becomes a safe guide. It is trained in the Word of righteousness. However, the more you submit your members to entertainment, or secularism, or TV even music, that's going to come out of your spirit. Paul said that he always obeyed his conscience. Sometimes people say, "Well, you are a minister, so the Holy Spirit would speak to you differently than He would to me." No, He deals with us in ministry and enables us to minister a little differently, but in speaking to us as in individuals about our own lives He deals with us just as He deals with all believers. For they is no partiality with God. He speaks to us with this inward voice-- the voice of our own spirit speaking--- not with just the voice of the Holy Spirit. We misted mind not always looking to the spiritual. Instead, we try to get God to come over into the sense, or physical, realm. We put out a fleece and tell God, "you do this if you want me to do that." That is purely under the old covenant. Gideon put out a fleece, but remember he didn't have the Spirit of God in him, it was on him !. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit only came "upon" certain wants to minister. Gideon was what we would call a lay member. He did not have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. God had to deal with him through the senses. And God might do that today, but If He Has to, it is because we all spiritually dull ! Under the New Testament, Jesus said, "And I will pray The Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever" (John 14:16). Gideon didn't know the Holy Spirit; you know Him. God deals with man through his human spirit, by the Holy Spirit. And Jesus said of him, "when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth. . ." (John 16:13). Satan is the god realm. (See 2 Corinthians 4:4). Many times people try to get God to move in the sense realm. Nowhere in the New Testament does it say, "as many as are led by feelings or fleeces, they are the sons of God." But you will find that the Bible does say, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Romans 8:14). God would lead and guide you through your own spirit. You need to know that. "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. . ." Too many miss it because they are not taking advantage of what belongs to them.
