Man was created to live forever. Adam lost his right to eternal life as a natural man, thus giving up his soul. Jesus, becoming our Ransom, redeemed the right, restoring the soul of man; by his choice of course (John 3:16)!
The following excerpts are great food for the soul….And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? The soul, housing the mind, will and emotions is truly the last great, unexplained realm on earth. Its fertile soil is enriched with divine substance, which is far more precious than all the wealth in the world. It is the essence of who you really are. “Though man has traversed the earth, built the most impressive buildings to protect himself from most foreboding mountains, fought the greatest battles, defied the most devastating natural disasters, harnessed electricity and fired rockets into outer space, we are still on a quest to find answers that are locked only within the soul of himself.
“It is not what goes in a man that defiles him, but what comes out, ( T.D. Jakes).” People all around the world are trying to find out just who they really are; to get to know who God has designed them to be. Many are seeking their authenticity and originality. There can be look-a-likes, sound-a-likes and even duplicates, but never another original you. If you sometimes feel you are not fully using your strengths and talents, or that your work is no longer meaningful or challenging, you may be facing a crossroads of life.
Taylor Caldwell wrote, “The most desperate need of men today is not a new way of life, vaccine, or religion. Man needs none of these… His real need, his most terrible need is for someone to listen to him, not as a patient, but as a human soul.
Mohandas Gandhi stated, “To deprive a man of his natural liberty, is starvation of the soul.”
The soul is not the body, but is contained within a physical body, a body created from the earth to interact with and function in the physical realm. The body is tempered and earth-bound, the spirit is eternal and heaven-bound, the spirit is eternal and heaven-bound. These two planes of existence come together in the human soul. The great battle of heaven and earth, kingdom of darkness and kingdom of Light are for the souls of humanity. These battles not only waged in our souls, but for our souls. The word soul comes from the Hebrew word [nephesh] which refers to a breathing, thinking being with passion, appetite, and emotions. The soul gives us a sense of individualism so that we can distinguish ourselves from other souls.
Dr. Cindy Trimm’s book The Soul Fast has enlightened many. I found it to be amazing that many of us are soul winners, but are not sure as to what we are saving or winning. Man has but one soul; he can house many spirits, which by authority of the Holy Spirit can be cast out. No one can cast out a soul.
This has been food for the soul.
