THE POWER OF GOD’S SPIRIT
I remember the late John Belushi of The Blues Brothers standing on the edge of a stage in a white-hot spotlight singing, “I’m a soul man!” As much as I love that song, I don’t sing it anymore, because it’s a bad testimony. We are not supposed to be soul men and women. We are supposed to be “Spirit of God” people.
And so it is written, the first man, Adam, was made a living soul; the last Adam [Jesus] was made a quickening spirit. – 1 Corinthians 15:44-45
People say the difference between animals and people is that animals don’t have a soul. This is wrong. Animals have souls just like we do. According to the Bible, the soul is our mind and get this—it is animalistic in nature. It’s the beast within.
A beast has a mind, a will, and emotions. It goes after what it wants and runs away from what it’s scared of. It meets its impulses as a brute beast.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. – Jude 10:10
What makes someone like an animal? Look at what Peter says on the subject:
But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of things they do not understand and will utterly perish in their own corruption. – 2 Peter 2:12
The bottom line is this: the soul is your thought life and your emotions, and we know they are liars. Beasts are meant to be caught in the snare – to be put into bondage, often by their own corruption. Most people, even believers, don’t understand this.
So, where does Jesus operate? The Bible says it’s in the Spirit, not the soul. Know the difference. Don’t listen to your head or your heart. Call on the Spirit of Truth within you.
Declaration: I am not a slave to the beast within. I have been set free through the blood of Jesus Christ. I will not listen to the carnal spirit; I follow the Spirit of the Lord.
