Becoming a spiritual person

A spiritual person (who has been born again, born of the spiritJohn 1.12-13) is led by the spirit through intuition (revelation of the Holy Spirit to the innermost intimacies of our being – our spirits).

As a spiritual being with a physical body & a soul (the soul is a medium between spirit & body), we must pay attention to the “inner, compelling, still, small voice“, rather than outer forces (music, preaching, etc., that stir up emotions or heap up head knowledge lacking inner convictions).

Let us pray,

“ Father in heaven, I desire today to let go of my flesh, to “deny self and take up my cross and follow Jesus Christ my Lord & Savior” (Matthew 16:24); and allow your Holy Spirit to lead me (my mind, emotions &will) in all ways of this humble life.

Teach me to follow that “still small voice of the Holy Spirit” within me, rather than outer forces that provoke soulish, thoughtless acts.

Holy Spirit, help me to distinguish between the self life & the Spirit, the soul & the Spirit (Hebrews 4:12). May I become a spiritual person, working the works of God by faith, bearing fruits of righteousness: Signs, wonders, miracles, healing, salvation & deliverance following me daily to confirm your Word.”(Mark 16:17,18,20) Amen.

17 And these signs will follow those who [a]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. Mark 16 nkjv.

12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4 niv.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me”. Matthew 16:24 niv.

12But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God. John 1 bsb.
