The Three Parts of You: I Thessalonians 5:23: body: carnal (external): what pleases the body; soul: soulish (internal/hidden): what stimulates the intellect or emotions; spirit: spiritual (internal/hidden): what pleases God. Hebrews 6:19-20: God dwells “within the veil” (tabernacle); Hebrews 10:20: veil = flesh (Self-will); Hebrews 4:12: decisions based on what God says. Three men were walking on a wall — Feeling, Faith, and Fact; when Feeling took an awful fall and Faith was taken back; so close was Faith to Feeling, he stumbled and fell, too; but Fact remained and pulled Faith back, and Faith brought Feeling, too. Luke 6:46-49; 8:13,15: “dug deep”; Hebrews 5:11-6:2: signs you may be a soulish (baby) Christian: you act based on being convinced in your mind, or “feeling” like it; you quickly become bored when you study God’s Word or pray; you enjoy social aspects of church life, but never experience true fellowship (“walking in the light”); etc. Colossians 1:9-10: know God’s Will => walk! => bear fruit. Romans 12:1-2: not IN-formation, but TRANS-formation; not workers, but worshipers; not based on knowledge, but based on love. Hebrews 5:7; Mark 14:35-36; Luke 22:42-44: “Father, I don't feel like doing this, but if it is Your will, I will.” King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be; Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary. Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary. May I be willing, Lord, to bear, Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me.
