Overcoming Faith: Walking in The Spirit - Spirit, Soul and Body

IIn this video, we begin to delve into the war within us by looking at the relationship between the three parts of man. Every man or woman (and child) has a physical body, a soul, and a "spirit." The spirit is eternal. The physical body, which includes the brain is passing away. The soul is that part that connects the spirit and the body. When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, they "sinned" or separated from God as the sole source within their souls that connected spirit and body, and in essence became their own god. It is important to see that we separated from God and that God did not separate from us as was illustrated in Him coming after Adam and Eve when they hid from Him.

Of course, there were consequences to their action as illustrated by the curses. Note that these curses were not placed on Man. Even the curse on childbearing was not placed on Eve so much as how things would be birthed in a world opposed to God. These curses quickly exposed how inadequate Man was to be God, and just how much Man God to even identify evil let alone overcome it.

God came down in the person of Jesus Christ to close the gap between us and God and in doing so opened the door to the Spirit, Who by dwelling in us, made us brethren of the Second Adam, or Adam as he was before what we call the "fall."

Overcoming faith walks by the Spirit as the covering by which we bring under control the body and soul at enmity with God.
