Pastor Jeremy shares Wednesday in Miles City.

New series on Following The Spirit Of God - “Subscribed”

● Now more than ever we need to be led by our

spirit, rather than our flesh, our opinion, our

political party, the news, or our intellect.

● The results of learning how to follow God, and

developing our spirit will always outweigh the

effort needed to do so.

Man is a 3-Part Being

1 Thes 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify

you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and

body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord

Jesus Christ.

We are a spirit

● Gen 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our

image, according to Our likeness; let them have

dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of

the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and

over every creeping thing that creeps on the

earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image;

in the image of God He created him; male and

female He created them.

● John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship

Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

● The image of God is a spirit having complete

authority. We have been made in His likeness.

See yourself as a spirit.

● God’s first contact with Adam was Spirit to spirit

○ Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of

the dust of the ground, and breathed into his

nostrils the breath of life; and man became a

living being.

○ John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the

flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak

to you are spirit, and they are life.

● 2 Cor 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even

though our outward man is perishing, yet the

inward man is being renewed day by day.

○ There is an “outward” man and an “inward”

man.

○ Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to

the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from

whom the whole family in heaven and earth

is named, 16 that He would grant you,

according to the riches of His glory, to be

strengthened with might through His Spirit in

the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in

your hearts through faith; that you, being

rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able

to comprehend with all the saints what is the

width and length and depth and height— 19

to know the love of Christ which passes

knowledge; that you may be filled with all the

fullness of God.20 Now to Him who is able to

do exceedingly abundantly above all that we

ask or think, according to the power that

works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church

by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and

ever. Amen.

○ The inward man is your spirit, the real you,

the part of you that is strengthened, the part

of you that is filled with the fullness of God.

We have a soul

● When God made Spirit to spirit contact with Adam

he became a living soul.

● Man has a mind, will and emotions. Man was

given a thought life, a will and the capacity to feel

emotions.

● The soul is the link or bridge between the material

world and the spiritual world. It is here that the

crucial battles of life are fought. The soul is the

primary issue for the believer.

○ 1 Peter 2:11 (AMPc) Beloved, I implore you

as aliens and strangers and exiles [in this

world] to abstain from the sensual urges (the

evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your

lower nature) that wage war against the soul.

○ 2 Cor 10:3 For the weapons of our warfare

are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling

down strongholds, 5 casting down

arguments and every high thing that exalts

itself against the knowledge of God, bringing

every thought into captivity to the obedience

of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all

disobedience when your obedience is

fulfilled.

○ Rom 12:2 And do not be conformed to this

world, but be transformed by the renewing

of your mind, that you may prove what is

that good and acceptable and perfect will of

God.

We live in a body

● The body gives us contact with the material world.

We cannot function without a body. The body is

our ‘earth suit’ for our spirit and soul. In order for

God to manifest and execute His will in the earth,

he requires a body.

● Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by

the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a

living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is

your reasonable service.

● Gal 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you

shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh

lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the

flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so

that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But

if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the

law.
