Soul sickness
🕑 Added 2022-11-16 12:00:06 +0000 UTCGood morning!
One of my favorite things to study is our minds and how to change behavior.
We may be familiar with the body-spirit-soul concept but to apply it to life is sometimes entirely different.
The spirit is the place where we connect to God and where God converses with us. It is the place the Holy Spirit dwells.
Our soul is our mind, will and emotions. This is the place where we think, we choose and we feel.
If our soul is “sick”, we will be erratic with emotions, make poor choices and dwell on thoughts that are unproductive.
The solution is to let the spirit influence the soul to heal it. How do we do that? Immerse ourselves in what God says through His Word and through prayer. We cannot overcome the soul with the soul. We need help from above.
It is very evident that there are a lot of sick souls trying to just get by. I know I have easily fallen into “illness” due to wrong thinking, random choices and letting my feelings dictate much of life. I’m so glad we have a patient Holy Spirit who acts as counselor at all times!
"May your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus" (I Thessalonians 5:23)

Aha, this is the mind, will, and emotion you referred to in yesterday's High Heel Collection video. Thanks for admitting you were fallible at one point with the "illness". This is very therapeutic and demonstrates I might not be a lost soul yet. I will cut this out and place on the refrigerator. I often felt the Holy Spirit was the most mysterious element of the Holy Trinity. Just my personal observation.

Amen!
