LECTURE 02: RE-DEFINING “HUMAN”: A SPIRIT IN A DEAD BODY. HIGHER CLASS 101: HIGHER LEVEL OF TRUTH [WHAT THEY DONT TEACH AT OXFORD] Gen 2:7 “And the LORD God formed a mans body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living person. “ The body of man was not alive until God breathed life (spirit) inside the body. Your spirit makes your body alive, and it identifies who you are today in life. Our make up as humans is triune. We exist in three in parts – spirit, soul and body. The spirit part of us is what relates with the soul which in turn relates with the body. WE ARE MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE IN OUR SPIRITUAL MAKEUP. Our physical bodies are only for the purpose of physical dealings on this physical earth. Sadly we know more about our physical bodies than we do about our spiritual bodies. This series will shade more light on the nature of our spiritual makeup, how to maintain its wellbeing, and receiving God’s healing whenever there is injury to the spirit. WE ARE SPIRITS LIVING IN BODIES The real person in us is not our [physical] bodies. It is our inner makeup of the soul and the spirit. We are therefore spirits living in bodies and not the other way around. Our bodies are not our true selves but the spirit of each of us is. Can you just imagine? Thank God that it is not our bodies that are made in God’s image. They are made for our spirits to express themselves on earth. We’d have a never-ending debate if our bodies were made in God’s image. We’d be debating about his gender, his race, genetics, height, weight, age looks and so on. Is God black or white? Asian or African, is He African American? those sorts of questions. In the true sense, before God, I am not African, God does not recognize me as a Malawian/ Nigerian/ South African. Who I really am has no identity with this physical world. The moment I see myself as just a citizen of this world, then I have limited myself to this physical world. Each of us has one spirit, just as we have one body. This spirit is largely referred to as the human spirit. This serves to distinguish it from other spirits, such as God’s angels (which are also spirits) and fallen angels (which are also spirits). It also distinguishes it from the Holy Spirit. The next section will show how our physical bodies are used by our spirits to relate with all matter in the physical early realm.
