Chapter 3 The Breath Of Life

Chapter Three - The Breath Of Life

There are two lives in our bodies, the inner man/soul and the outer man/flesh.

The inner man has the breath of life that God breathed into Adam. While the flesh man is of the earth and will return to the dust.

Jesus came to save our soul, not our body. Our inner man must be regenerated, transformed, translated, born again by the Holy Spirit.

When we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit into our soul, then we become the sons and daughters of God and He controls us by the Holy Spirit.

We then have the nature of God in us. This is the mystery of Christ in us. When the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost, they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now are they the sons and daughters of God.

The word of God is in the temple of God, our body. The word of God is no longer in a book of law given as a schoolmaster until the Holy Spirit Seed was given on the day of Pentecost. The word of God is powerful and alive, it is Spirit and it is Life, it is a Living Word with virtue.

Words on paper are dead letter that can save no one. The gospel is not written with ink, nor on tablets of stone, but on our hearts by the Spirit of the Living God. We can now live after the Spirit and not after the flesh. We can walk by faith hearing the voice of the Living Christ through the Holy Spirit, not by sight.

We serve the invisible God; the bible is a physical visible inanimate object that you see with your natural eyes.

The body will age and die, but the spirit will live on.

The law was weak in the flesh. Now we must mortify the sinful deeds of the flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit in us.

Romans 2:14

“For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:”

God writes His law in our heart, not in a book that no one can keep.

Romans 7:18

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

We must all understand the difference between the flesh and the Spirit. Although we live in the flesh, we must live after the Spirit.

Jesus explained it this way in Mark 7:18-23

“Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”

What will a man give in exchange for his soul? He must give up his life after the flesh for a life after the Spirit.

Today people are separating themselves sensually having not the Spirit.

They try to make the flesh holy instead of crucifying it. They claim to keep the law out of the bible, yet break it continually because the flesh cannot keep it, it will not work. Jesus must grant you power according to His riches in glory to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that you be rooted and grounded in love.

Take a deep breath, this is where your spiritual life is, where your soul/heart lives given to us by our Holy Father Creator. The invisible God lives in our heart by the Holy Spirit.

Without the Holy Spirit then you are separated from God, you have a breath of life, but it is not regenerated and will not be received into the Kingdom of God.

We were corrupted by Lucifer in the garden, but now we must partake of the tree of life which is the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ to be redeemed.

You need to understand this simple but powerful truth and not let your belly/flesh be your god.

Philippians 3:18-21

For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.

Learn the difference between the blood pump heart which is the natural life of the flesh and the breath of life in the inner man and love Jesus with your soul heart and not your flesh mind.
