STUDY GUIDE

What can the spirit of a believer do today? What does our spirit do? We are made of three parts. We are a spirit. In the garden of Eden, Adam decided to disobey God. Eve was tricked, but the scriptures say Adam was not tricked. God had warned them that if they do this, they will die. He wasn't talking about physical death, He was talking about spiritual death, which is a separation from God. Everyone's spirit is either alive to God or dead to God.

Since we are three parts (spirit, soul, and body), we need to get our soul to line up with our spirit. Our soul is made of our emotions and mind. We have to get our mind in conjunction with our spirits, with what we believe. We train our soul. Our soul demands evidence, because it can believe easier with evidence. When we allow evidence to produce our believing, we are no longer in faith. We have to train our soul not to demand evidence. We should accept God's word at face value without any evidence. To do this, we have to learn who God is. How powerful He is.

For example, to get started learning about God, think about the fact that He created all the stars. He knows every one of them by name. He named them. God is an awesome God. We have to build faith, or a belief system, into our life. We have to decide who are we going to believe? There's always something pulling at us to get us to believe it. Nature isn't a substitute for God. There is no substitute for God.

Once we believe God, at the moment of our redemption, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Our spirits are sealed by God. A lot of what we need to do is renew our minds and cause our souls to agree with the Word of God.

The power of the name of Jesus gives us the ability to cast out devils. The eternal purpose of God the Father is to bless men, this is done through the name of Jesus. Today, the power of God is released through the Body of Christ using the name of Jesus. This is the same power and ability Jesus used when He was on the earth, to heal and to bless. This same power has been given to the Body of Christ. With great boldness, we should use that name to bless people, to heal people, to deliver people, and to produce miracles in that name. This is our responsibility as believers.

We should have respect for the name of Jesus. Familiarity can breed contempt, so we shouldn't be flippant with His name or so familiar with it that we don't recognize what the name of Jesus really means. We need to know how that name was achieved by the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other name like His name. The name of Jesus was held special by God and given to Jesus on purpose, so He could give it to us so that we can use His name. That name is supposed to bring recognition in the world of darkness.

The name of Jesus is the only light that there is. It's not our ability that is shining. It's God's ability in us that's the light. We are the chosen vessels to deliver His name to lost and hurt people. When we minister to others, it isn't valid unless it is done in Jesus' name. We don't have the ability to bless anyone without the name of Jesus. We don't have God's approval to do anything without the name of Jesus.

But with His name we have God's approval to do all of these things in His Word. The name of Jesus has already been supplied with His ability. There's no lack of ability in His name. There's no lack of power in His name.
