Is There a Difference Between Your Soul and Spirit?

Isn’t it odd that you never thought to ask such a fundamental question? “Soul Care” is a buzz phrase right now. But, how can you care for something if you don’t even know what it is?

Your spirit is the part of you in which you are born again. It is where The Spirit of Jesus or Holy Spirit makes the connection with you and lives. Only spirit can understand things of the spirit. There is an invisible spirit world going on right now at the same time as the physical world you can see. The spirit world is what you were made for and will outlast this present form of the world you now see. So, it is good to understand spiritual things.

1 Corinthians 2:14

But the spirit of man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Your soul is your mind, will, and emotions. This is the part of you where you think, act, and feel. You have control over this part of yourself. You must choose to have it obey Holy Spirit within you. What you “feed” your soul on matters.

Romans 6:16

Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of God leading to righteousness?

Your body is obviously your body. But, what you might not realize is that it is so closely linked with your spirit and soul. When your soul is not at peace or tormented, it affects your body. When your soul is doing well, your body reacts to that as well.

It’s been said that your spirit is the KING, soul is the SERVANT, and body is the SLAVE. So, if you aren’t feeling well, speak aloud to your body and tell it to line up with The Kingdom of Heaven that is within you.

III John 1:2

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Pray Aloud

Holy Spirit, I thank You for opening my eyes to the unseen world so that I can now understand it. I will take every opportunity to understand what the spirit world is like. I want to use all 5 of my natural senses to encounter You and this realm for which I was created, in Jesus’ name.

Jesus, I know that You have good food for me and want me to be strong and healthy inside and out. Please stir up in me a hunger for the things that are good. I choose to lose the taste for things that are not from You. Give me the wisdom to know the difference.

I choose this day to give You control of my body. Where there are things that are not perfect in me, I ask You to make them right. I welcome and accept instant miracles as well as the process of healing. I also choose to honor You with my body by staying pure of all sexual sin and those traps of the enemy that seek to hurt me physically.
