There is a Bible Study that I go to on Sunday nights with a few friends. We go there to just grow as brothers in Christ, and help us to really go deep with the Lord, and to teach us what it means to really want to chase after our friends in school, or wherever really.
We've been having this Bible study for a while, and don't get me wrong, I have learned a lot from it. There is just something that is starting to stir within me, and I think it has to do with some revelation that has been going through me.
"Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'” Genesis 1:26
God wanted to make manking in the image of Him, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Part of my revelation is that in the making of the image, he made us into a trinity as well. Just as God is the soul, Jesus is the body, and The Holy Spirit is the spirit, we too have a body, a soul, and a spirit. How sick is that? There are people in the world who strive to be like God, well we have a head start over some things in that respect. There is no way to be fully like God, since there is no way that we can be perfect, but there is nothing else that God gave this trinity to. No fish, no bird, no livestock. All other things are one thing. We have this trinity, and that really shows how much God really cares about us.
Another thing that I learned that goes along with this is that when you feed any part of the trinity, the other two parts will start to become like the part you are growing. The illustration we got was like a three way venn diagram, With the labels "body" "soul" and "spirit". When you have the wants of the body as your main focus, your soul and spirit will start to become just like those of the body. Making you more about those things you are growing your body with. When the desires of your soul are your main priority, the focus of your body and spirit will become to the specifications of the soul. Like wise, when you grow your spirit, in any way, but in the sense that you spend time with the Lord in prayer, quiet times, fasting, however, you will start to notice that your body and soul will be one with the spirit.
If you feed the wants of the body, they will become the wants of your spirit and soul. If you feed the wants of your soul, the wants will be the same in your body and spirit. If you were to feed your spirit, your body and soul will also grow to have the same wants.
Hearing this taught me something from a verse my good friend taught me last year.
"Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all else will be added to you" Matthew 6:33
Learning the thing above has taught me that all else, may not be the desires of your body or spirit. This means that all else means all else that God has in store for you. I do admit, that it did make me seek the Lord, in hope that the other desires would be fulfilled, but I don't think I could go deep, cause I would not let the one desire that I had go, because I was convinced that there was no way it came from me. I'm still not totally sure, which is why I geuss discernment is always a good thing to have. Once you learn to let all your body and soul wants go, and just grow your spirit, the things that your spirit wants, even desires of relationships, and other matters will be given to you, because your spirit is God's, since you have been filled with His Holy Spirit. Which is awesome.
I just pray that I would grow my spirit, and I know that something will be given to me by God.
I hope you all have a good day!
Love y'all
TJ
