The Relationship Between The Body, Soul, and Spirit

We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen

Despite the fact that man is primarily a spirit, this spirit is unable to interact with the earthly realm by itself because the law of territory requires it to have a material body appropriate to the ecosystem of the earth in order to walk on it.

Spirits cannot live on the earth without a material body. A human spirit that enters the earth without a physical body will move in waterless places in search of something to occupy. It is against the laws of the universe. A spirit has a legal occupant on the earth because he is placed within a material body.

It is impossible for the human spirit to operate in the earthly realm without a body or for the human body to travel to the spirit realm because of the dimensional nature of its operation. A disparity exists between the two realms, so the spirit cannot directly relate to the body. It needs a bridge.

That is where the soul comes in.

The soul acts as a bridge between the spirit and the body. It is the spirit in partnership with their body. It is the faculty that connects the spirit and the body.

The soul is composed of the mind, will, and emotions. As the bridges between the spirit and the body, these faculties also act as a means for the body to carry out the spirit’s impulses.

There is a need for a soul when spirit and body come together.

The realm of the spirit controls the physical realm. All of what happens on Earth has already taken place in the spirit realm. If there is chaos on Earth, it means there is trouble in paradise. What we see in the physical realm comes from things that are unseen in the spiritual realm.

Since man is a spirit living in a physical body, he has the advantage of both realms. It is because of this dual nature that man is able to receive impulses and feelings that cannot be explained. This is how he connects to the spiritual realm — to what he cannot see.

If you feel a certain heaviness in your heart but there is nothing wrong, it is because your spirit man is perceiving something from the spiritual realm. When you feel something is wrong, but you see nothing wrong physically, it may be your spirit communicating with you and it is very likely that very soon something will go wrong if you don’t take prompt action.

Spirit and body stay in constant communication through the soul bridge. That’s why people feel things before they happen or know things without knowing how they know. If a person is in tune with their spirit, the spirit communicates with them through their mind and emotions.

Spirit and body stay in constant communication through the soul bridge.

There is nothing hidden in the realm of spirit, so your spirit knows everything that’s going on and will always try to share it with you. It is difficult for most people to receive guidance, insights, and information from their spirit because they are not connected to their spiritual side.

A person who cannot sense anything at all — no sense of sight, smell, hearing, taste, feeling — would struggle to survive in the physical realm. It would be impossible for them to protect themselves. They would not know to move away from harm’s way if a car was approaching where they are. They would not be aware to move away from the danger.

As there are physical senses, there are also spiritual senses. Just like one can be physically blind, one can be spiritually blind. A person can be spiritually deaf and so they hear nothing at all from the spirit realm. Just as one can be physically asleep, one can also be spiritually asleep.

When you are spiritually asleep or spiritually suppressed, your own spirit or the Holy Spirit won’t have the ability to communicate important destiny things to you because you’re not able to receive them. Because the Holy Spirit does not give up on those who have lost their spiritual senses, they may get a message through a dream but because the person is still disconnected, they will see nothing but complete nonsense. They will struggle to accurately interpret their dreams.

One’s own flesh can also suffocate and take over the spirit. When this occurs, the person may not perceive it even when the spirit of death was standing right next to them. Regardless of how loud the spirit tries to speak tell them what’s happening or even warn them, they are not able to hear it.

This is how many spiritual attacks occur. The spirit that would warn you of the problem is oppressed, so you have no knowledge of the war that is happening in the spiritual realm involving you and therefore no knowledge to protect yourself. If something is going on around a person, they might not be able to see it physically, but if their spirit is active and they are in touch with it, the spirit will alert them of whatever it is they are perceiving.

This is where spiritual practices that strengthen the spirit like prayer, fasting, meditation, and time in nature can come in.

There is nothing hidden in the realm of spirit. Your spirit knows everything that’s going on and will always try to share it with you.

The flesh — not the body — will always attempt to subjugate the spirit to the point where the body can no longer receive messages from the spirit realm. That’s because the flesh is not able to comprehend things of the spirit. It only cares about matters of the physical world.

The flesh does not see the point of prayer, which is why it is sometimes difficult to pray. The flesh wants to live freely now, while the spirit cares about what is happening in the spiritual realm and what might happen in the future.

There is a rearranging of things in the spirit realm when you pray, fast, meditate, etc. Whenever we pray or perform a spiritual practice, we maintain or fine-tune our spirits. Prayer is medicine for our spirits. It brings them to life. When the spirit has been suppressed, prayers release it from whatever is holding it down.

The reason why your mind feels so clear after prayer and fasting or after meditation is that you are able to hear more clearly from the spirit world. When your organs of interaction with the realm of the spirit are heightened as a result of a spiritual practice, not only are you able to communicate with your spirit but the Holy Spirit is also free to work in your life based on the strength of your spirit.

Your own spirit and the Holy Spirit can easily reveal things to you when your spirit is strengthened and your spiritual senses are activated and heightened. When your spirit is renewed and your spiritual senses are open, the Holy Spirit can use your spiritual sight to show you a vision or your spiritual hearing to speak to you. Prophetic dreams, revelations, and a strong inner knowing are also possible when your spiritual senses are activated.

This knowledge will lead you to understand that prayer is not really about getting daily bread for your physical body, but about getting daily bread for the spirit within. Prayer makes you more sensitive to the spirit. When your spirit is fed and your senses are activated, then you can see, hear, feel, and just know things in the spirit realm, so that you can guide yourself in getting everything that you need. In this way, prayer becomes a tool for spiritual growth and transformation. Then you can create your own miracles, signs, and wonders.

The reason why your mind feels so clear after prayer and fasting or after meditation is that you are able to hear more clearly from the spirit world.

Essentially, a person is not the body he occupies, but the spirit that dwells within it. Since the spirit is the essence of a person, it is an important part of who you are that needs care and attention.

Just like your physical body, your spirit must be fed every day. When your spirit and body are both fed, then the soul becomes strong and free to carry out its duties between the earthly and spiritual realms. A healthy body, spirit, and soul as a bridge allow you to navigate the physical and the spiritual realms with ease.

So even though your spirit cannot be seen, it will continue on forever even long after you’ve become dust on the ground. Knowing this, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
