I have found out that many of God's children do not know where their spirit is and therefore, function appropriately from it. Yet, the Spirit of man is where God relates with us from. Proverbs 20:27 tells us, 'The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.' The word, 'candle' is from the Hebrew, 'neer'. 'Neer' means 'light'. In other words, our spirits are God's lights in us; he leads us from our spirits. Therefore, it's crucial to properly locate our spirits and learn how to function from there. How then do I locate my spirit? Hebrews 4:12, 'For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.' The phrase, 'dividing asunder' in the Greek is the word, 'merismos'. It means to, 'separate, partition, split'. Now, this is interesting! Take note of the character of this verse. It's talking about the ability of God's word to do the humanly impossible. Firstly, it divides asunder the soul and spirit. Then, the joint and marrow. This gives us an insight into the character of the spirit; the spirit is conjoined with the mind. So much so that it takes God's Word to properly distinguish them. Some things we perceive as coming from our spirits are from our souls and can be wrong. For instance, a lot of us think that when we feel peace about something, then our spirits are at peace and therefore, it's of God. Not exactly so. Jesus certainly was troubled about going to the cross, yet it was God's perfect will for him. So, you need to locate your spirit! How? Through the Word! God's Word has the ability to distinguish between your soul and spirit. When you give yourself to the Word by meditation and confession of same, the more you will function from your spirit and walk in God's perfect will for you through faith! What a light God has granted us, that we may walk in his circumspection! #Light #Pleroma
