The Secret of Developing a Strong Soul #2 ! "For as he thinks in his heart, (soul) so is he:"(Proverbs 23: 7), The mind is the seat of our souls, his are her will, emotions, intellect and the word heart and soul is interchangeable and Satan and the ones that are following him, want your soul to stay disconnected from your born-again spirit, which in turn is supposed to be connected to the Holy Spirit: and the Holy Spirit is connected to "God who is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24). And Jesus said, in (John 6:63) "it is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profit nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." You have to put these things together, because the apostle Paul says compare spiritual things with spiritual. It's all right to go to what is called church, but that is not your source ! The Word of God should be your daily source. The request for delivery is recorded in (Psalms 142:6-7). "Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. Then he makes this statement, "Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall come to pass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me." Did you know that your soul, which is your mind, you will, your emotions and your intellect can be imprisoned: by this world system. I would like for you to think about this real hard. With the culture of today, disrespecting and dishonoring God with their body and their mind. I know you probably thinking that you don't do that because you go to church or because you say that you are a Christian. But the fact is that you are not obedient to the instructions that are in (Romans 12:1-2-3). Where the Apostle Paul finds some believers in Rome, and begin to plead with them: "Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (soul). Then you will be able to test and improve what God's will is-- His good, pleasing and perfect will for by the grace given to me I say to everyone of you: do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you." The people of the world system, which is organize humanity thanks fleshly because they connected to the realm of carnality, "but be you transformed:" transformed is a spiritual word that connects us to the realm of the Spirit: "but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind [soul], that you may prove [demonstrate] what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Let's go to a particular scripture that everyone should be familiar with, it's (Psalm 23). The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul: God cannot be your shepherd, that you will have no want: he can't make you lay down in green pastures: he can't lean you beside the still waters, he can't restore your soul, if you don't do your part! not knowing how to develop your souls is very dangerous; they used to say on TV about 50 years ago, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste".. God Word is His will and He will never violate His Word, so he will not go against your mind [soul]. Look at, (1Thessalonians 4:2-3-4-5). "For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God's will that you should be Sanctified: [separated and set apart for pure and holy living]: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control, your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a Brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned before. For God did not call us to be in pure but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you His Holy Spirit. Now about your love for one another: we do not need to write to you, for you yourself have been taught by God to love each other. And in fact, you do love all of God's family throughout Macedonia. Houston: or any other part of the world. Yet we urge you brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: and mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody Brothers or sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death so that you will not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. According to the Lord's Word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words."
