The soul comprises the mind, the will, and the emotions, and has it’s connections with your body or “flesh.” Your heart, which is called “your spirit” is actually the real you. It’s the power house or production center of your life. The word of God is spirit, it’s designed to go past your soul and link up with your spirit, or as Was said, your heart. When the spirit of God’s word gets down into your spirit or heart, it will control your soul. Then your soul, won’t fight against what you know to be true.
How can I get the spirit of God’s word to get pass my mind, my will and my emotions and down into my spirit or my heart? Total immersion is the only way. This is how you renew your mind. That’s why it’s called a transformation. I wish I could say it was simpler than this, but it’s not. It takes everything that you are to become everything God designed you to be.
Romans 12:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
