SPEAK, LORD; I’M LISTENING
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 NKJV
Jesus was 100 percent God, but guess what? He was also 100 percent man, and the Bible says He laid aside His rights as God and lived just like you and I do. As a man, Jesus was very aware of the different parts of His life; the soul-ish emotions and the spirit-emotions. Your soul-ish emotions aren’t necessarily evil. They’re just part of the human experience. You’re not bad when you feel things. You’re bad when you turn it over to your carnal nature instead of your spirit-nature.
Jesus knew and expressed emotion, and He understood the difference between soul-ish emotions and spirit emotions. He kept it in check by His Spirit. Why? Because He knew it was coming from His soul, therefore His Spirit would have dominion over that.
You need to let the Spirit of the Living God be expressed through your life. You have to know the difference between your spiritual realm and your soul realm because sometimes you’re feeling something that’s coming out of your soul and other times it’s coming out of your spirit. Sometimes, they’re linked up. They’re in tandem, and that’s a powerful emotional place.
You need to know the difference because your spirit-man must have dominion over your soul or you’re going to be out of control and unstable. Your entire life will be about trying to pick up the pieces from when you last fell out.
How can you know the difference between your soul and your spirit? It’s the Word of God. It’s hearing God speak and getting the Word of God in your life. You have to know the difference between your soul and your spirit. The Word of God comes into your thinking and separates life from death, truth from lies, and light from darkness. Why do you need to know that? Because your spirit is where you steer your life from. You have to speak directly from your spirit into your own soul.
Jesus said He only did and said what His Father said. He went up on the mountain often, leaving others behind, and He listened to His Father.
Declaration: My heart is grateful that Jesus came to earth and modeled how to live as a human who was guided by the Spirit of the Living God. Holy Spirit, come fill me up, bring truth and understanding to my soul. Open my spiritual ears so I can hear God in all the ways He speaks to me.
