Apostle Billey.
Man has a spirit, a soul and a body.
Spirit and soul are spiritual. If you work a lot for your body, know that it’s temporary, because the body can’t go to heaven.
When we are born again, the Lord forgives us and washes us, our spirit is regenerated. And so the relationship with God begins. the spirit is nourished by the Word of God. And those who don’t have God, their spirit is in contact with the enemy.
The soul manages material things and relationships, but does not feed on physical food. The soul, too, is nourished by the Word of God.
And often, for most people, the problem lies at the level of the soul. Because they’re more focused on human relations and material things. And they neglect their relationship with God.
Man must not love the material/money … more than God.
When the soul is in contact with God, it is freed from the powers of darkness.
Luke 15.
11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood.
Inheritance is physical. So when he came to ask for his inheritance, this young man already had intentions in his heart. But these were only related to his body. This young man was focused on the pleasures linked to his body, what we call the flesh.
He had his own way in his heart/soul.
13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.
When he left, there was a program inside him, located in his heart.
He could already see himself buying tons of expensive clothes. And with all these things, to be able to brag about it in front of people.
Beloved, when there is no word of God in the heart, it will take us out of God’s way.
That’s why we need to grasp the Word with our minds and hearts.
Whenever you’re given money, whatever the amount, $5,000, $10,000 even if God allows you to receive millions, don’t let the heart be attached to it.
You can have ten houses, but don’t put your pride in them. Look at it as nothing.
Don’t set your heart on the things of this world, so as not to be manipulated by the enemy.
What’s important is the One who created you, and whom you must honor and elevate.
By doing so, the material will follow you, and when someone is in need, you’ll be able to help them with all your heart.
14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.
Do you think this young man gave his tithe? or offerings?
Certainly not. The materialistic spirit only knows how to spend on itself.
15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
Is this young man naked or spiritually clothed?
He is spiritually naked.
Why?
Because he disconnected himself from his father, from the authority, the path, the comfort, the honor, the cover …from his father.
When the devil succeeds in wresting the Word from the heart, that person will walk according to the flesh; that person is then said to be naked.
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
How did he get inside himself? With his spirit or his soul?
It was through the spirit that this young man was able to enter him. Through his spirit, he was able to take his soul back to his father. Because in his soul, there was pride, arrogance… evil. This had led him to oppose his father and take his inheritance.
So with his soul, it was not possible to enter into himself but only through the spirit.
1 Corinthians 2
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
When the “e” is lowercase, it’s the spirit of man, and when it’s capital “E”, it’s the Spirit of God.
When you see Christians in depression, it’s because they don’t know each other.
How can you take yourself to the Lord if you don’t know yourself?
Sometimes your soul, depending on how you’ve accustomed it, reacts and resists prayer and going to church.
So how do you re-educate the soul?
It’s listening to the spirit. If you listen to the soul, there will be debates within you.
For example: When presented with a dish, you have the choice of accepting or refusing.
And if you want to refuse this dish, in reality, it makes a difference whether you refuse with your soul or with your mind.
If you refuse with your soul, the person proposing you will be able to convince you and change your mind.
But with your spirit, it’s impossible, whatever the arguments, you’ll be firm in your refusal.
And that’s how we grow in authority, through the spirit.
That’s why the devil goes through the soul to manipulate us, but Jesus came to wake us up in spirit.
We dominate with our spirit. That’s how you become a hero.
Beloved, you must no longer be weak; you are called to be strong. You must be strong in spirit in Jesus’ name.
Don’t put yourself down any more, your value can’t be compared to anything in this world.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, Let Us Pray… →
Lord, forgive me for all I have done against you.
May every seed of the enemy within me to control me be utterly destroyed.
I renounce the voice of Satan in the name of Jesus.
Lord, help me to keep Your Word.
I declare that all this week, I walk, I decide, I see… in spirit.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
