 Until you Know certain truths, you aren`t going to experience Victory . People don`t like to Hear this because it makes them Responsible ; but not liking it doesn`t make it less True . It was True for me the day I Received the Revelation of Spirit , Soul , and Body .
<p>
Over forty years ago, this Revelation opened the Eyes of my Understanding to the Bible and the True Nature of God . Everything I Teach is based on the Revelation of who I am in Christ--who I am in my born-again Spirit . I want to make sure everyone Knows that this Truth holds the Key that will unlock God`s blessings. Once you Understand this, the Bible comes alive.
<p>
Every BornAgain Believer has undergone a complete inner transformation.
<dir>
Therefore if any man be in Christ , he is a New Creature : old things are passed away; Behold , all things are become New . [18] And all things are of God , who hath Reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ . 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 
</dir>
It doesn`t Say that all things are becoming New or have the potential of becoming new--they are New the moment we are Born again. To Understand that we are totally New requires us to Understand how God put us together. 
<p>
What part of us did God make New ? 
It`s obviously not our bodies, because we are still shaped the same as before. It`s obviously not our minds, because we still Think the same and have the same emotions. So what is it? 
<p>
It`s our spirits. We are all made up of three parts, which some don`t Know . Something that helped me make sense of this is that God is three parts too, and we are made in His Image . 1 Thessalonians 5:23 makes it clear: ~And the very God of Peace Sanctify you wholly; and I Pray God your Whole Spirit and Soul and Body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ .~
<p>
It was easy to figure out that the New part wasn`t my Body or Soul ( Mind , Will , Emotions , Conscience ), so I knew it must be my Spirit . His Word confirms this again in 1 Corinthians 6:17: ~But he that is joined unto the Lord is one Spirit .~ 
<p>
Similar to the way that sexual Relationships produce a Physical Union , the BornAgain experience Creates a Spiritual Union . Our Spirits become one with God`s. Since it`s in His Word , we need to Believe it, even if we don`t quite Understand it yet.
<p>
This brings up the tough problem of figuring out how to apply what`s True in God`s Word--our New Spirits are one with Him--to our old bodies and souls. It`s easy to Understand both our bodies and our Souls . We are Receiving Information from them all the time . 
<p>
For Example , if I put my hand on someone`s shoulder, they would Know that I touched them. I could also make people Feel Happy or sad, or I could even hurt them without any Physical contact, simply by the Words I Speak . Those Words are processed by the Mind and felt in the Emotions .
<p>
However, you can`t Feel your Spirit that same way . If you don`t Understand that the Spiritual Reality can`t be felt, then you`ll be confused when God`s Word declares that you have the same Power Living in you that raised Jesus from the Dead ( Eph. 1:19-20 ). 
<p>
If you Think Truth can be discerned through your natural senses, you`ll be baffled when the Bible Says you`re a brand-new Creature who can do the same miraculous Works that Jesus did--and more ( 2 Cor. 5:17 and John 14:12 ).
<p>
God`s Word reveals Spiritual Reality . If you want to Know what your Spirit is like, you must find out from the Word , not rely on Emotions or other perceptions. God`s Word is Spirit and Life .
<p>
This Revelation of the Relationship between the Spirit , Soul , and Body has Transformed my Life . It set me Free when I realized that God had already given me everything I needed and it`s all contained in my spirit--all I needed to do was release it. 
<p>
That simple Understanding Changes everything. The Christian Life isn`t a process of ~getting from God~; it`s a process of renewing your Mind and learning to release what you`ve already received.
<p>
If you don`t Understand that at Salvation you have already Received in your Spirit all that you will ever need , there will always be Doubt . You may Know it`s possible, or even promised in the Word , but you`ll be trying to perceive it in the Mental , Emotional , or Physical Realm . That`s a recipe for Failure .
<p>
That misconception can also result in a performance-based Relationship with God : ~If I`m Good enough, if I Read the Bible enough, if I pay my Tithe . . .~ and on and on it goes, in an attempt to motivate God to Give you what you need . It`s Wrong to Think that God hasn`t already given you everything, and that somehow you have to make yourself Worthy enough to get it. 
<p>
You`re already Worthy because of Jesus Christ and His Sacrifice . He paid the price for everything you will ever need . In fact , you`ve already got it! It`s just a matter of Understanding the Relationship of the Spirit to the Soul and Body .
<p>
 Understanding Spirit , Soul , and Body is critically important to every Believer . It`s the Key to Receiving God`s Grace . It could be a matter of Life and Death . And it`s the Foundation to Understanding the Rest of Scripture .
