"Soulish" Christians (part two)
1 Thessalonians 5:23 New English Translation
Conclusion
23 Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Soulish” Christians Part 2
To be delivered from self-consciousness is part of the redemption
It does not happen all at once, but we’ll be sanctified that way
By the knowledge of our inward parts, we must apprehend our condition
The understanding here provides now, as The Holy Spirit prays
It is truly needed to search through our desires
Regenerated believers often don’t realize
The presence of The Spirit or even when He is moving
Upon their sensitivity, when He arrives
Even spiritual senses we notice at a specific time now
Realizing their origin is not often understood
It transfers from just a feeling, which we digest through emotion
And then plainly is forgotten as we do with regular food
The soul is affected by outside influences
The world’s penetration is part of its provision
The repetition of this constant bombardment
Will often leave its senses in a vague derision
Soulish Christians band together in specific directions
Either towards emotion or reason directing the path
They will go to extremes of where they think they came from
For this is their deliverance into a temporary fad
