ABOUT

The spirit within you is your innermost being and it has a great connection to the soul. This is the area of man that is in constant conflict. It is in your spirit where you can connect with God through your soul. Apostle Paul tells us the soul struggles against the spirit and the spirit against the soul, and these two are always at war with one another (see Galatians 5:17).

The soul is the mind, emotions, and will. The soul is really the steering committee for the rest of man’s being. The soul determines when the spirit will be fed, as well as, how it will take care of the body with proper nutrition, physical activity, and rest.

“And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)..”

1 Thess. 5:23, AMP

"He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake."
Psalm 23:3, AMP

Many habits are formed in your life that affects your body. These habits can be changed to improve the body’s condition. For instance, smoking, overeating, drinking, and lack of exercise can all be changed to create for you a better body. Regardless of your earthly body’s makeup or how it is functioning, as a Christian, you have a responsibility to maintain good health and uphold sanctification through His Word. The Apostle Paul wrote that the Christian's body is a temple, and exercise keeps that temple in good repair. But more importantly, perhaps, a good 30-minute workout can help clear your mind and allow you to focus on spiritual things.

“Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own.”
1 Corinthians 6:19, AMP
