The Spirit of Man

1. You Are a Spirit: Your Divine Origin and Tripartite Design

In essence, that is who we are: Spirits that come from God.

Divine blueprint. You are fundamentally a spirit, created in the very image and likeness of God, endowed with His substance and nature. This means you possess inherent abilities, authority, intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and power, reflecting your divine genetics. Before your human existence, you were a spirit, known and named by God, destined to have dominion over all creation.

Tripartite being. Unlike angels or demons, humans are uniquely designed to operate simultaneously in both the spiritual and natural dimensions. This is achieved through a tripartite composition:

• Spirit: Your core divine essence, originating from God.
• Body: Your physical vessel, made of earthly substance.
• Soul: A magnificent device, made of ethereal substance, acting as a decoder to communicate and make the spiritual and natural worlds compatible.

Adam's original state. The first man, Adam, lived with his spiritual senses fully activated, perceiving both natural and spiritual realities. He possessed complete intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge, communicating effortlessly with God and creation. His spirit and soul were cloaked in the glory of God, a deposit of divine life, allowing him to be an architect of God's glory on Earth.

2. The Fall's Impact: A Dormant Spirit and Corrupted Soul

Unfortunately, this entire plan was brought down because of the fall.

Satan's strategy. Lucifer, stripped of his glory, coveted man's unique tripartite design, especially the soul, which could interpret and manifest spiritual dynamics. He needed a vessel to contain complex spirits like humanism or witchcraft. By sowing doubt about God's word, he aimed to sever man's connection to his Creator.

The consequence of disobedience. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they "died" to their communion with God. Their spirit fell into a dormant state, and their soul, once covered by spiritual splendor, became naked and condemned. This act separated the spiritual and earthly dimensions within them, leading to a profound internal conflict.

The rise of the "ego." After the fall, the spirit lost its dominion and power. The soul became the dominant force, governed by earthly knowledge and darkness, giving rise to the "ego" or "self." This ego, though aspiring to be god-like, lacked true answers or power, living instead on lies and a false sense of identity, terrified of confronting its own deception.

3. Rebirth in Christ: Reconnecting to the Spiritual Kingdom

This is what Jesus came to do in the world; restore what had been lost.

The Second Adam. Man's fallen state rendered him incompatible with God's light and holiness. Jesus, the "Last Adam," became flesh and soul to destroy the kingdom of darkness, sin, sickness, and death. Through His sacrifice and resurrection, He reunited human nature with the divine, restoring access to the spiritual Kingdom of God.

Heaven and Earth reunited. Jesus' work on the cross brought together "all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth." This means the division between these dimensions was abolished, and in Jesus, humanity regained access to both. To be "in Jesus" signifies a spiritual position of being covered, submerged, and filled with the Spirit of Christ.

Born of water and Spirit. Being "born again" is not merely a religious phrase but a profound spiritual transformation. Your spirit, once dead or asleep due to sin, is awakened and "engendered" by the divine seed of Jesus. This new birth allows you to:

• Enter the heavenly realm and "see the Kingdom of God."
• Become like the "wind" (Ruah), moving independently and guided by the Spirit.
• Develop dormant spiritual parts through worship, intimacy, sanctification, and meditation on God's Word.

4. The Golden Bowl: Your Inner Sanctuary and Source of Life

The golden bowl is the container where the seed of life enters in order to awaken our spirit.

Holy of Holies. The golden bowl is the innermost sanctuary of your spirit, the place reserved for God's presence. It is the altar from which the river of God flows, the origin of life within your being. This is where eternal life or perdition is determined, directly connected to your spiritual heart and soul.

Fusion with Christ. When you convert, the seed of life (Jesus) enters the golden bowl, initiating the flow of the Spirit's waters. These waters awaken and fill your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—with divine life, leading to your birth into the Kingdom of God. This is the place of intimate communion, where your spirit fuses with God's, making you "one spirit with Him."

The marriage union. This spiritual marriage between Jesus and His bride (your spirit) is the central concept of the Gospel. It's where you "know God" in an intimate sense, producing eternal life and transforming you into His image. From this union, a river of healing and life flows, nourishing your inner being and enabling you to manifest God's glory and connect in true unity with other Sons of God.

5. The Heart: The Bridge Between Spirit and Soul

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

Central determinant. Your heart is the most crucial part of your inner being, serving as the main door to your spirit. It dictates your identity, actions, decisions, and ultimately, your destiny. It is the forge of courage and fear, and a significant determinant of your physical health, as "a sound heart is life to the body."

Spiritual ventricles. Just like the physical heart, your spiritual heart has two sides:

• Spiritual ventricle: Receives God's laws and the flow of life from your spirit, surrounded by a God-given conscience.
• Carnal ventricle: Deals with the issues of the soul, the source of thoughts that can contaminate the soul and body with "iniquity" (spiritual substances like water and oil).

The heart's foreskin. Surrounding the carnal ventricle is the "foreskin of the heart," a dark substance representing a conscience hardened by sin, evil, and unbelief. This acts as a barrier, preventing God's life and holiness from irrigating your soul. Circumcising your heart removes this veil, allowing you to see God's glory and be transformed.

6. The Soul's Transformation: From Deformity to Divine Decoder

The soul is the decoder between the spirit and the body.

The Adamic soul. From conception, your spirit, though from God, contacts the blood and receives ancestral iniquity, leading to a dormant state. This deformed spirit then shapes a twisted soul. Traumas and environmental factors further mold it, causing it to take dominion over the spirit, losing its innocence and connection to the Heavenly Father.

Enmity with God. A deformed soul becomes incapable of operating in God's ways, creating an "enmity against God." Its thoughts are twisted, memory filled with traumas, and imagination corrupted by lust and false identities. It relies on intellect, emotions, and a hardened heart, unable to perceive or understand spiritual truths, leading to a life governed by death and worldly principles.

The renewed soul. True regeneration begins when you consciously surrender your will and lordship to Christ, taking your soul to the cross. Your vivified spirit then creates a new soul, transforming your heart and mind. The seven spirits of God quicken your spirit, sending revelation, understanding, and wisdom to your natural mind. This renewed soul, with its mind and heart united, becomes capable of decoding God's designs, manifesting His power, and living by the faith of God.

7. The Spirit's Dynamic Anatomy: Wheels, Organs, and Senses

The spirit of man does not have access to the natural world except through the soul.

Complex internal structure. Your spirit is not a simple entity but a complex, multidimensional being with various organs and systems, much like your physical body. These include:

• Communion: The central core, where God's Spirit unites with yours.
• Conscience: Surrounds communion, discerning right from wrong.
• Mind of the Spirit: Where Christ's mind is formed, containing organs of knowledge, creativity, and language.

The wheels of the spirit. Surrounding your spirit are "wheels of energy," which prevent it from vaporizing and enable dynamic functions:

• Translation: Allows your spirit to be transported physically or spiritually to different dimensions (e.g., Enoch, Elijah, Paul).
• Elevation: Increases your spirit's frequency, allowing it to ascend into higher heavenly dimensions.
• Elasticity: Enables your spirit to grow or shrink, adapting to spiritual needs (e.g., becoming large to cover a city).

Spiritual senses. Your spirit perceives the invisible realm through senses analogous to your physical ones:

• Eyes: For understanding, seeing into invisible dimensions, and discerning God's ways.
• Ears: To hear God's voice, activating faith.
• Taste, Smell, Touch: For discerning spiritual substances, presences (angels/demons), and experiencing heavenly aromas.

8. Frequencies: Navigating the Spiritual Dimensions

All things in the universe whether visible or invisible, are formed from energy; both spiritual and physical.

Energy and vibration. Everything in the universe, spiritual and physical, is composed of energy that forms electromagnetic fields and vibrates at specific frequencies. The spiritual world becomes perceivable as its frequency increases, with the Kingdom of God vibrating at very high, rapid frequencies, while the kingdom of darkness operates at low, slow frequencies.

Ascending to heaven. When you feel God's presence, your spirit lightens, accelerating its vibration to tune into heaven's frequencies. This is akin to a helicopter propeller becoming invisible at high speeds; your spiritual senses perceive the invisible world when your "wheels" spin faster. Worship, intense love, and strong faith elevate your frequency, opening doors to deeper spiritual dimensions.

Fruit of frequencies. Your spiritual state determines the frequencies you inhabit and the fruit you produce:

• High frequencies (Spirit): Love, joy, peace, health, abundance, revelation, understanding.
• Low frequencies (Flesh/Darkness): Exhaustion, affliction, fear, sickness, lack, anguish, ignorance.
  It is your responsibility to detect and rise out of low frequencies, as high frequencies always dominate low ones, just as light overcomes darkness.

9. Spiritual Health: The Body Reflects the Spirit's Condition

All sickness begins with the condition of the spirit.

Integral connection. Your spirit, soul, and body are intimately interconnected, forming the temple of the Holy Spirit. The condition of your spirit and soul profoundly influences your physical body, leading to either perfect health or disease. Many illnesses without pathological explanation are "psychosomatic," originating from the invisible realm.

Sickness from within. Adam's fall introduced death into his spirit, leading to the decay and atrophy of his physical body. Sickness and mortality did not begin with viruses but with the spirit's loss of perfection. Iniquity, a spiritual inheritance, transfers from the spirit to the soul and then into the body, manifesting as physical ailments.

• Hate/resentment: Affects kidneys, liver, spleen.
• Unforgiveness/stinginess: Leads to arthritis.
• Blood shedding/witchcraft: Causes blood diseases.
• Emotional suffering: Contributes to cardiac problems.
• Idolatry/rebellion: Manifests as respiratory issues or cancer.

Health from within. God is the source of all life and health, continuously transmitting vital energy to your spirit, then to your soul and body. A positive attitude, desire for healing, and faith can significantly aid recovery. The spirit sends life-giving signals through the mind and heart to the nervous, endocrine, and lymphatic systems, regenerating cells and promoting well-being.

10. Spiritual Warfare: Protecting Your Inner Being

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue, which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn.

External attacks. Not all sickness originates internally; the devil actively sends diseases to afflict and destroy. These attacks begin as lies and oppression in the spirit realm, manifesting as physical symptoms. When the mind accepts these signals, the heart believes them, and the tongue confesses the disease, the spiritual lie solidifies into physical illness.

Devil's strategy. The enemy's second onslaught often involves chemical medication, which, despite its benefits, can damage the body's natural defenses. Pharmaceuticals can fill the lymphatic system with toxins, inhibiting antibody production and weakening organs. This compromises the body's powerful immune system, making it vulnerable to further demonic assault.

Combating oppression. The devil also uses "instruments of torture" to inflict pain and discomfort, manifesting as fibromyalgia, migraines, or sharp localized pains. These spiritual weapons can be seen and removed through spiritual discernment and authority. By resisting the devil, understanding Jesus paid the price for all sickness, and actively engaging your spiritual senses, you can live in perfect health and overcome these attacks.
