Exploring the Triad: Spirit, Soul, and Body in Spiritual Victory

Exploring the Triad: Spirit, Soul, and Body in Spiritual Victory

Unlock the mysteries of your own existence as we navigate the profound concept of the three parts of man: spirit, soul, and body. What if understanding this triad could transform your spiritual life? Join me, Chaplain Terry Warner, as we journey through scripture, specifically 1 Thessalonians 5:23, and explore how these elements are intertwined. Discover the divine design of humanity, reflecting on Adam as a spiritual being created in God's image, reliant on his "earth suit" to engage with the world. We’ll discuss the vital role of the spirit in connecting with God, the soul’s complex blend of mind, will, and emotions, and how the body serves as a bridge to the physical realm.

Step into the light of spiritual victory in Christ, where confidence and righteousness await. In our second chapter, we explore how believers can approach God boldly, free from condemnation, by aligning their desires with His word. Learn the power of presenting your requests with assurance, equipping you to lead others towards spiritual fulfillment. As always, I assure you that your personal information and donations remain strictly for ministry purposes. Let’s close our time together with a heartfelt blessing of peace and grace in Jesus' name, sending you forth with renewed strength and purpose.

"He has shown you, O Man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" (Micah 6:8)

00:00:25.757 --> 00:00:27.897
Hello, friend Chaplain Terry Warner here.

00:00:27.897 --> 00:00:32.151
The title of this podcast is the Three Parts of man.

00:00:32.151 --> 00:00:38.213
We'll be looking at Part 1, series 4, episode 46.

00:00:38.213 --> 00:00:42.500
It will air on November 11, 2024.

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.215
On November, the 11th, 2024.

00:00:45.215 --> 00:00:50.371
Your foundation scriptures will be 1 Thessalonians, 5 and verse 23.

00:00:50.371 --> 00:00:55.149
We're going to read more than that, but that's our foundation scripture.

00:00:57.042 --> 00:01:05.685
I'm going to try to explain and get you to understand the three parts of man, or the triune of man, or the trinity, so to speak.

00:01:05.685 --> 00:01:07.150
It's tough.

00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:11.870
I'm going to talk slow, not so much for your sake but for my sake.

00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:16.831
So let's answer some questions in this series, our next series.

00:01:16.831 --> 00:01:20.328
Why should I try to speak in tongues?

00:01:20.328 --> 00:01:23.587
Should I try and prophesy?

00:01:23.587 --> 00:01:26.224
Should I be an interpreter?

00:01:26.224 --> 00:01:31.222
Should I just sit quietly by and wait for the event to pass?

00:01:31.222 --> 00:01:33.106
Let others handle it?

00:01:33.106 --> 00:01:36.933
Let's start reading in 1 Thessalonians.

00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:45.474
This is some final instructions that Paul is giving the church at Thessalonica, starting in verse 12.

00:01:45.474 --> 00:01:58.590
Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish or warn or reprimand firmly.

00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:04.240
Hold them in the highest regard and love because of their work.

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:06.623
Live in peace with each other.

00:02:06.623 --> 00:02:10.664
I'm in fourteen now and we will surge.

00:02:10.664 --> 00:02:21.873
We will surge, we will urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, be patient with everyone.

00:02:21.873 --> 00:02:22.974
Verse 15.

00:02:22.974 --> 00:02:39.838
Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to keep the paper from bunching up.

00:02:39.838 --> 00:02:43.740
Always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:52.967
Be joyful, always Pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

00:02:52.967 --> 00:02:55.548
Do not put out the Spirit's fire.

00:02:55.548 --> 00:03:10.984
Do not treat prophecies with contempt, in other words the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless or deserving, deserving scorn.

00:03:10.984 --> 00:03:17.526
Test everything, hold on to the good, avoid every kind of evil.

00:03:17.526 --> 00:03:20.280
Then, verse 23.

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:30.414
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify, set apart as or declare holy or consecrate you through and through.

00:03:30.414 --> 00:03:42.335
May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord, the one Jesus who is faithful, and he will do it.

00:03:42.335 --> 00:03:45.890
1 Thessalonians 5, 12 through 24.

00:03:46.941 --> 00:03:55.633
So we can see from the above verse that I just quoted in verse 23, that man is a spirit, soul and body.

00:03:55.633 --> 00:04:15.139
He operates as one, and all of these three intertwine and overlap, so that it's hard and difficult to separate them, especially trying to tell godly things from worldly things.

00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:16.245
If you don't know the word.

00:04:16.245 --> 00:04:19.108
It takes the spirit of God to do this.

00:04:19.108 --> 00:04:22.069
It takes the word of God to separate it.

00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:24.701
Adam was created.

00:04:24.701 --> 00:04:27.084
Let me back up.

00:04:27.084 --> 00:04:30.348
So man is first, his spirit was created.

00:04:30.348 --> 00:04:36.315
It's the dominant thing, the dominant person is his spirit.

00:04:36.315 --> 00:04:46.694
Adam was created, a spirit man, and was made in the image and likeness of God.

00:04:46.694 --> 00:04:53.132
He was created by Elohim, a name for God, and it's also plural and encompasses the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

00:04:53.132 --> 00:04:56.487
So Adam is a spirit being.

00:04:56.487 --> 00:05:02.468
He has been formed in the image and likeness of God out of the dust of the earth.

00:05:02.468 --> 00:05:13.108
But, being a spiritual being and being on earth, he needs a body so that he can communicate and function here on earth.

00:05:13.108 --> 00:05:14.091
He needs an earth suit.

00:05:14.091 --> 00:05:19.529
With the spirit, man contacts God.

00:05:19.529 --> 00:05:25.427
When the man dies, god's spirit in him returns to God.

00:05:25.427 --> 00:05:28.747
Ecclesiastes 12, verse 7.

00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:35.151
Second, this spirit man that God has just created has a soul.

00:05:35.151 --> 00:05:38.108
We call it the spirit.

00:05:38.108 --> 00:05:39.846
A lot of people interchange the words.

00:05:39.846 --> 00:05:49.334
If you do that, you might always remember to keep the human spirit with a small s, not a capital S.

00:05:49.334 --> 00:05:54.427
So we have God, we have this being Adam.

00:05:54.427 --> 00:05:56.331
He's a spirit.

00:05:56.331 --> 00:05:59.199
His spirit has a soul.

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.408
His soul is his inner man or lives inside him.

00:06:03.408 --> 00:06:09.545
It's also our conscience and it's made up of our mind, our will and our emotions.

00:06:09.545 --> 00:06:13.516
It is how we communicate with the unseen part of our world.

00:06:13.516 --> 00:06:17.964
While on earth, our soul is our real identity.

00:06:17.964 --> 00:06:31.588
If you've ever had anybody sneak up behind you and scare you, you felt that soul jump up inside you and you said man, my heart just jumped up in my soul, just jumped up in my heart.

00:06:31.588 --> 00:06:43.552
With the soul, we contact the intellect, the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract or academic matters.

00:06:43.552 --> 00:06:49.884
The soul is also called the heart of man, or the center In some languages.

00:06:49.884 --> 00:06:54.557
In some foreign countries they call it the liver, the center of the body.

00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.524
The third part of the creation is our body.

00:06:59.524 --> 00:07:02.927
The body is our earth suit that we see.

00:07:02.927 --> 00:07:05.454
It operates and functions on the earth.

00:07:05.454 --> 00:07:18.379
It uses our flesh or our senses is a better understanding word, sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing to function and live on this earth.

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:27.564
It is limited to the earth laws and the statues of operation, but it gives man the ability to communicate with another man.

00:07:27.564 --> 00:07:32.196
Man contacts the physical things on earth using his body.

00:07:34.019 --> 00:07:36.904
Now let's take a look and visualize what God is doing.

00:07:36.904 --> 00:07:38.988
This will help you a little bit.

00:07:38.988 --> 00:07:43.923
Man has been formed using the dust of the earth by God.

00:07:43.923 --> 00:07:45.166
So he formed him.

00:07:45.166 --> 00:07:52.547
He's made in the image and likeness of God, so he's got arms, legs, head, body, everything.

00:07:52.547 --> 00:07:55.202
He's about six foot one, six foot two.

00:07:55.202 --> 00:08:03.379
Now imagine God forming man out of the dust of the earth, mixing it up, making, and he's just.

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:14.300
He's got his arms out and he's holding man up by his shoulders, one on the left, one on the right, holding him by looking him right in the face.

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:22.185
And if you, if he was to let go a man, there's no life in the man, it's just the spirit being, the body would fall to the ground.

00:08:22.185 --> 00:08:24.117
There's nothing in there controlling that body.

00:08:24.117 --> 00:08:33.602
However, god is a spirit and the man, in this first stage of creation, is just a lifeless body being held up by his shoulders.

00:08:33.602 --> 00:08:44.865
Imagine God reaching out with his hands after forming this man, and is holding him upright and since the man has been formed from the image of God, would be looking at face level at God.

00:08:44.865 --> 00:08:49.196
I repeated that so that you get a good picture of what I'm talking about.

00:08:50.418 --> 00:08:58.398
God then, at this point, begins to breathe into man's nostrils his words John 6, 63.

00:08:58.398 --> 00:09:07.697
And those words coming from God and going into the man, bring man to life and man has become a living soul.

00:09:07.697 --> 00:09:14.615
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God.

00:09:14.615 --> 00:09:18.542
Jesus said his words were spirit and they were life.

00:09:18.542 --> 00:09:34.101
So when God breathed those words, when God put his breath of words into man, that body of clay didn't turn into that body of clay.

00:09:34.101 --> 00:09:36.101
Soul became alive.

00:09:36.101 --> 00:09:38.623
Now that soul is just like the spirit.

00:09:38.623 --> 00:09:45.964
It will not be destroyed when the man dies physically.

00:09:45.964 --> 00:09:53.285
His spirit will go to where his god is either god the father in heaven or his god, satan, in hell.

00:09:53.285 --> 00:10:00.455
Once you make that, once you die, you can't make that decision it's only can be made while you're here on earth.

00:10:00.455 --> 00:10:08.436
That's why it's so important that you give your heart to jesus christ now, because it's going to be too late if you wait much longer.

00:10:10.458 --> 00:10:16.990
With this creation, adam the first man has become a product or, better yet, a son of god.

00:10:16.990 --> 00:10:18.975
Luke 3, 38.

00:10:18.975 --> 00:10:19.436
Yes, a son of god.

00:10:19.436 --> 00:10:20.057
Jesus said he was son of man.

00:10:20.057 --> 00:10:21.317
You could say adam was son of man.

00:10:21.317 --> 00:10:22.437
Luke 3, 38.

00:10:22.437 --> 00:10:22.957
Yes, the Son of God.

00:10:22.957 --> 00:10:24.499
Jesus said he was Son of man.

00:10:24.499 --> 00:10:26.841
You could say Adam was Son of man.

00:10:27.260 --> 00:10:28.581
I can say I'm Son of man.

00:10:28.581 --> 00:10:31.442
That just means I have an earth suit on.

00:10:31.442 --> 00:10:33.965
So I am a spirit being.

00:10:33.965 --> 00:10:39.607
I live in a body and that's how I contact the physical world.

00:10:39.607 --> 00:10:42.610
But my soul is my real me.

00:10:42.610 --> 00:10:48.253
And you do not see that God does, god can and God can.

00:10:48.253 --> 00:10:53.563
But that's how we are put together.

00:10:53.563 --> 00:10:55.769
So you are a spirit.

00:10:55.769 --> 00:10:57.982
Now the spirit goes back to God.

00:10:57.982 --> 00:10:59.500
That's God giving you the spirit.

00:10:59.975 --> 00:11:00.818
See to die does not mean cease to exist.

00:11:00.818 --> 00:11:01.923
It just means you're separated from God.

00:11:01.923 --> 00:11:02.769
That's God giving you the spirit.

00:11:02.769 --> 00:11:03.673
See to die does not mean cease to exist.

00:11:03.673 --> 00:11:05.317
It just means you're separated from God.

00:11:05.317 --> 00:11:13.820
So if the soul is condemned to hell because he will not accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:18.408
He doesn't cease to exist, he's just going to exist in hell.

00:11:18.408 --> 00:11:28.937
Spirit, soul and body operate and function so well together that it takes God's word to separate or distinguish and comprehend Adam.

00:11:28.937 --> 00:11:37.495
All three parts have a distinct function and purpose but requires God, not man, to keep it all functioning.

00:11:38.725 --> 00:11:44.231
The purpose of man, in that case, why did God make man?

00:11:44.231 --> 00:11:51.234
Well, in Genesis 1, 26 through 31,.

00:11:51.234 --> 00:11:54.480
Make sure I got the right page here.

00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:12.413
Then God said let us make man in our own image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

00:12:12.413 --> 00:12:17.568
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God.

00:12:17.568 --> 00:12:21.008
He created him Male and female.

00:12:21.008 --> 00:12:22.049
He created them.

00:12:22.049 --> 00:12:24.797
Did you get that?

00:12:24.797 --> 00:12:26.707
Male and female?

00:12:26.707 --> 00:12:27.509
He created them.

00:12:27.509 --> 00:12:30.957
Still, man, verse 28.

00:12:30.957 --> 00:12:44.674
God blessed them and said to them Be fruitful and increase in number, fill the earth and subdue it, rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.

00:12:44.674 --> 00:12:48.634
Now drop down to Genesis 2.1.

00:12:48.634 --> 00:12:54.208
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast arrays.

00:12:54.208 --> 00:12:59.418
That's an impressive display or range of a particular type of thing.

00:12:59.418 --> 00:13:08.251
And man came in, and man is the ruling, uh force on this earth.

00:13:08.251 --> 00:13:13.099
Why did god create the heavens so for the earth?

00:13:13.099 --> 00:13:14.986
Why did god create the earth for man?

00:13:14.986 --> 00:13:22.081
Man was his final and complete and image and likeness of his person.

00:13:22.081 --> 00:13:26.890
He created someone like him so he'd have worship and fellowship.

00:13:28.712 --> 00:13:36.716
Psalm 8, starting in verse 1 oh lord, our lord, how excellent, majestic and glorious is your name in all the earth.

00:13:36.716 --> 00:13:40.245
You have set your glory on or above the heavens.

00:13:40.245 --> 00:13:46.017
Out of the mouth of babes and unweaned infants, you have established strength.

00:13:46.017 --> 00:13:49.513
That was that was fulfilled when jesus was born.

00:13:49.513 --> 00:13:51.370
Our praise also.

00:13:51.370 --> 00:14:01.892
This was fulfilled when christ came into the world as a baby, because of your foes that you, that is, us, the believer, the church, might silence the enemy.

00:14:01.892 --> 00:14:02.413
And Sorry.

00:14:13.466 --> 00:14:15.693
Matthew 21, 15 through 16.

00:14:15.693 --> 00:14:28.386
When I view and consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars, which you have ordained, ordered or decreed something and established what is man?

00:14:28.386 --> 00:14:34.691
That you are mindful of him and the son of the earth-born man, that you care for him.

00:14:34.691 --> 00:14:42.913
Yet you have made him a little lower than the, than god or heavenly beings, and you have crowned him with glory and honor.

00:14:42.913 --> 00:14:48.933
You made him to have dominion, that's, rule and authority over the works of your hands.

00:14:48.933 --> 00:14:51.447
You have put all things under his feet.

00:14:51.447 --> 00:14:55.153
Under his feet, that's 1 Corinthians 15, 27.

00:14:55.153 --> 00:14:58.799
Ephesians 1, 22 and 23.

00:14:59.605 --> 00:15:01.466
Hebrews 2, 6 through 8.

00:15:01.466 --> 00:15:12.759
All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, yes, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes along the path of the seas.

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:23.956
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent and majestic and glorious is your name in all of the earth.

00:15:23.956 --> 00:15:26.605
So I want you to stop and think about this a minute now.

00:15:26.605 --> 00:15:36.475
Man is a spirit, he has a soul and they live in a body and they all work together and act as one.

00:15:36.475 --> 00:15:54.293
When man passes away or dies, the spirit goes back to heaven, the soul goes to wherever its father God is, whichever God he has made of his life goes, and the body returns to dust.

00:15:54.293 --> 00:16:08.735
When you are born again, the spirit man is recreated, not redone, not refurbished, not made like new, totally created anew in Christ.

00:16:08.735 --> 00:16:15.510
That way, there is absolutely no unrighteousness in you when you are born again.

00:16:15.530 --> 00:16:23.190
Now there might be some in your body, there might be some in your mind, but that soul man is pure and clean.

00:16:23.190 --> 00:16:24.591
He that knew no sin was made to be sin for me.

00:16:24.591 --> 00:16:31.038
He that knew no sin was made to be sin for me, that I might be made the righteousness of God.

00:16:31.038 --> 00:16:35.606
In Christ Jesus, I have been made righteous.

00:16:35.606 --> 00:16:42.418
I can stand before God without being condemned, feeling guilty or ashamed or hesitant.

00:16:42.418 --> 00:16:54.355
I can go boldly to the throne and tell Him my needs and wants and my desires, and pray his word back to me, back to him, and put him in remembrance of his word.

00:16:54.355 --> 00:17:02.773
Put him in remembrance so that I can live and walk in a victorious life on this earth and bring others to Christ as well.

00:17:02.773 --> 00:17:05.471
You have a blessed day.
