A RELATIONSHIP GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU WHOLE AGAIN!!

THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU WHOLE AGAIN!

“…May God himself …make you holy and whole, put you together [again]—[through his holy] spirit, [your] soul, and body …” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 MSG). “….God saw every thing he had made……and, behold, it was very good…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

                                                                     * 

The NEED to be REUNITED with the HOLY SPIRIT is DESPERATE. The SOUL is “NOW” totally and absolutely controlled by the dictatorship of the EVIL ONE. The SOUL is also a SLAVE TO SIN through the SINFUL NATURE. 

The BODY, once a vessel for the HOLY SPIRIT and SOUL’s use, has become the rebellious, unredeemable, and innately, SINFUL NATURE “controlled” by the “EVIL ONE”. The BODY is DEAD and the SOUL is lost in SIN. “…The Son of man came to seek and to save THAT WHICH WAS LOST…” (Luke 19:10 KJV).  “…the body without (apart from) the spirit is dead…” (James 2:26 KJV). 

“…The wages of sin (being born with a sin nature) is death…” (Romans 6:23 KJV). “…YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS…” (John 8:24 KJV). “…Your INIQUITIES (sin) have separated between you and your God…” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV). 

“…BE CONVERTED, that your sins may be blotted out…” (Acts 3:19 KJV). “…HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY…” (John 3:18-20 KJV). 

The SINFUL NATURE pollutes the heart where the sinful thoughts reside and also INFLUENCES the emotions, reason, affections, appetites, personality, and the human will of the LOST SOUL through the DICTATES of flesh/body controlled or dominated by the power of the EVIL ONE. 

The thoughts that reside in the heart are the command center of the SOUL, and those thoughts become UTTERLY deceitful under the POWER, CONTROL, and DOMINATION of the EVIL ONE!  

The heart where the thoughts reside, “…is deceitful ABOVE ALL THINGS and desperately wicked…who can know it [except God?]” (Jeremiah 17:9 KJV).  

The SOUL’s HEART, where the THOUGHTS reside, prove to be basically EVIL to the CORE and defiles a person's behavior and actions. “...I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.  And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. …I [am] …a slave to the sin that is … within me (within my sinful nature) …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). 

“…From within, out of a person’s HEART …EVIL THOUGHTS come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.… All these evils come from INSIDE, and defile a person.” (Mark 7:21-23 NIV). 

EVIL THOUGHTS, THAT RESIDE IN THE UNTRANSFORMED HEART, “COMMANDS” YOUR BEHAVIORS AND ACTIONS. 

The UNTRANSFORMED thoughts, that reside in the heart, are “…deceitful ABOVE ALL THINGS and desperately wicked…” (Jeremiah 17:9 KJV). Therefore, it is important to “…Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (thoughts)….” (Romans 12:2 KJV).  

“...God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at THE HEART (the command center of the SOUL where the thoughts reside)…”(1 Samuel 16:7 NASB). “…[the] hidden man of the heart (the command center of the SOUL where the thoughts reside)…” (1 Peter 3:4 KJV). 

WITHOUT God, the HOLY SPIRIT, there is “NOTHING”GOOD or RIGHTEOUSNESS about man’s NATURE. “.. there is NONE good but one, that is, God” (Mark 10:18 KJV). “… I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature…I [am] …a slave to the sin that is … within me (my flesh)…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not…” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV). “…There is none righteous, no, not one:” (Romans 3:10 KJV). “… [ALL have become]…..unclean and [their] righteousnesses are as filthy rags….” (Isaiah 64:6 KJV).  

“And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is NONE good but one, that is, God” (Mark 10:18 KJV). Without God, the Holy Spirit, the SOUL’s heart, where the thoughts reside, are easily LED ASTRAY by the SINFUL NATURE. “…Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away (led away) of his (her) own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it BRINGETH FORTH SIN: and sin, when it is finished, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH (Spiritual death)…” (James 1:13-15 NLT). 

THOUGHTS are non-physical aspects of a man’s SOUL and those thoughts, without the indwelling Holy Spirit, are completely corrupted by the SINFUL NATURE. “…From within, out of a person’s HEART  … EVIL THOUGHTS come (non-physical)—… murder, adultery, greed, malice, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.… All these evils come from INSIDE, and defile a person.” (Mark 7:21-23 NIV). “….From WITHIN , out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,  adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from WITHIN; they are what defile you…” (Mark 7:20-23 NLT). “... I [am] …a slave to the sin that is … WITHIN me (My FLESH; MY SINFUL NATURE, ETC.) …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). 

The THOUGHTS, which are non-physical aspects of the SOUL, can make a person UNCLEAN when influenced to participate “IN” the DEEDS of the SINFUL NATURE.  “…From within, out of a person’s HEART … EVIL THOUGHTS "come" …All these evils come from INSIDE, and defile a person.” (Mark 7:21-23 NIV). “….From WITHIN , out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts … All these vile things come from WITHIN; they are what defile you (defile your behavior and actions)…” (Mark 7:20-23 NLT). 

“... I [am] …a slave to the sin that is … WITHIN me (My FLESH) …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). 

There is HOPE for man’s SOUL, but “NONE” for the SINFUL NATURE that SOME theologians believe is TOTALLY DEPRAVED and completely under the POWER of the EVIL ONE. … the whole world lies under the power (BONDAGE, slavery, control, DICTATORSHIP) of the evil one” (1 John 5:19 RSV). 

Man’s SOUL chooses to depend upon God’s DELIVERANCE from the SINFUL NATURE. The SINFUL NATURE constantly WAGES WAR against the FREEDOMS “the SOUL’ has gained through Christ JESUS. “… Abstain from fleshly lusts which WAGE WAR against THE SOUL…” (1 Peter 2:11 NASB). “… I see a different law in the members of my body, WAGING WAR against the law of my mind (command center of the SOUL) and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members…” (Romans 7:23 NASB). “…What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasure  that WAGE WAR in your members…” (James 1:4 NASB). 

“…God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son (THE WORD, THE LAMB which taken away the SINS of the world) as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit. Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.” (Romans 8:1-14 NLT). “…So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These TWO FORCES are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. …” (Galatians 5 NLT). 

The SOUL’S WAR against the SINFUL NATURE is WON from the FREEDOM in Christ JESUS and through the POWER of the INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT!! “… So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. ..” (Romans 8:1-13 NLT).“… The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.,,” (Romans 8:1-13 NLT).“ … Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace…” (Romans 8:1-13 NLT). 

“…For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.  But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you…” (Romans 8:1-13 NLT). 

“,,, (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you…” (Romans 8:1-13 NLT). 

God, the HOLY SPIRIT also the BREATH OF LIFE takes up residence and unites with the SOUL again and supplies the POWER needed to OVERCOME the SIN NATURE. “… Therefore, dear brothers and sisters you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.  For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. …” (Romans 8:1-13 NLT).

“…It is… GOD, [the Holy Spirit] WHO “DOES” THE WORK IN AND THROUGH all of us who are his. The Holy Spirit “displays” God’s power THROUGH each of us…” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “ … The excellency of the power  [to overcome the SINFUL NATURE] may be of God, and not of us...” (2 Corinthians 4:6-7 KJV). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…Christ in you, …” (Colossians 1:27 KJV). “…the Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).  “…if Christ be in you…” (Romans 8:10 KJV). “…if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you…” (Romans 8:11 KJV).  ^“…Christ liveth in me…” (Galatians 2:20 KJV). “…until Christ be formed in you…” (Galatians 4:19 KJV). “…the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV). “…the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you…” (1 Corinthians 6:19 KJV). “…God hath said, I will dwell in them…” (2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV). “…Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (freedom from SIN)…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). 

Man’s SOUL was originally created WHOLE with the BODY, GOD’s HOLY SPIRIT, and the SOUL united together.  “…..God created man in his own image…..male and female created he them…” (Genesis 1:27 KJV). “….God formed man of the dust of the ground (BODY), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (SPIRIT); and man became a living soul (SOUL)…” (Genesis 2:7 KJV). “…I AM what I AM …” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV). 

However, ADAM and EVE choose to follow their OWN way. “….So she took some of the fruit and ATE IT. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and HE ATE IT, too …” (Genesis 3:1-7 NLT). 

God told ADAM and EVE that if they choose their OWN way they would DIE and they DID. “…THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST thereof THOU SHALT SURELY DIE…” (Genesis 2:16-17 KJV). “…At that moment their eyes were opened…” (Genesis 3:1-7 NLT). 

Adam and Eve were “…separated from the “LIFE” of God…” (Ephesians 4:18 NIV). “…God asked the woman, “What have you done?” (Genesis 3:7-13 NLT). 

“… ONE sinner (led astray) destroy[ed]… MUCH GOOD (the original UNION of body, soul, and God’s Holy Spirit)…” (Ecclesiastes 9:18 NASB).

UNITED WITH GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU BECOME A "LIVING" SOUL AGAIN.

IF YOU ARE "NOT" UNITED WITH GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU "ARE" A DEAD SOUL; TRULY THE WALKING DEAD.

“…ALL HAVE SINNED (BEEN BORN WITH A SIN NATURE) and fallen short of the glory of God (BORN WITHOUT THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT)…” (Romans 3:23). “…the wages of sin (BEING BORN WITH A SIN NATURE) is death…” (Romans 6:23 KJV).

“…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by SIN (because of the sin nature)? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…He loved us and sent his Son …” (1 John 4:10 NIV).  “… [He sent the] …one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT). 

PRAISE GOD, “…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole (BODY, SOUL, AND THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV). NLT). “…I pray [to God that] ... [HIS indwelling Holy]...SPIRIT and [your] ...SOUL and BODY be preserved [together again] ... blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” (1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV). “….He restoreth [your].. soul….” (PSALM 23:1-3 NLT).
