LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HUMAN SOUL. What does the soul consist of? 1. Will of Man 2. Emotions 3. Intellect 4. Imagination 5. Memory When the enemy wants your soul, his goal is to take hold of your will. When God wants to use you, His goal is for you to surrender your will and...
Take up His will Have you ever desired to do something, but then chose not to do it?, that's your will in action EMOTIONS The human emotions/feelings are the main entry gate by which demons access the soul This is also the number one part of the Human soul many people mistake..
For their spirit. Because the spirit-man does feel. The spirit man does have senses. This is where it gets tricky. Emotions of the soul and spiritual senses are different. Many are led according to their emotions and call it led by the Holy Spirit. And also...
The Holy Spirit may nudge you but because your emotions are going in the opposite direction, you may miss your blessings. So Spiritual senses are different from human emotions, when you learn to differentiate the two, your Christian Journey will be made easier.
THE INTELLECT. This is your reasoning and your logic. If one is not careful and spirit led, he may turn the gospel into an intellectual/logical thing. I've seen people who argue over a revelation, why? Because they're logical, they won't get it. It will take the Holy Spirit
It's good to be intellectually sound but keep the intellect submitted to the word of God if you really want to go deep in the things of God. In other words keep the soul submitted to the Spirit, this happens by prayer and fasting, when reading the Bible, invite Holy Spirit.
IMAGINATION. There are good imagination and there are also what the Bible calls "vain imagination" Apostle Paul writes in 2 Cor. 10:4-5 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds...
[5]casting down vain imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Imagination is good,it was given to us by God but it too MUST stay submitted to the word and spirit.
Ambitions build their castle with imagination, fantasies also live in the realm of imagination, know which one is vain and which is good. Cast the vain one down and bring it in submission to God. Some people claim they have a vision but it's really an imagination.
If you have a religious soul, and not a restored and a renewed mind, most of the time false vision has its source in vain imagination. It's the soul seeking to become dominant over the spirit. MEMORY This also one of the main gates the enemy uses to play games with us.
Because most people have a past and many have failed to let go of the past in order to move forward. Keep your memory in accordance to Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, and of good report, if there be any virtue, and if...
There be any praise, think on these things Think on the things that have virtue and is praise worthy. Tell your intellect to quit being logical about the past. God has forgiven you and does not remember your past no more (Isaiah 65:17). Hallelujah
