Living Above The Influence

Have you ever wondered about the essence of consciousness and life in the human experience? The scriptures unveil the profound truth that The Most High God breathed eternal essence into man, shaping him from the earth, and transforming him into a living soul. What does this mean? The Hebrew term "nep̄es" (neh'-fesh) used over 450 times in Scripture encompasses literal, accommodated, or figurative senses, speaking to the inner being-the seat of appetites, emotions, and passions. To comprehend consciousness, a facet of the soul, we must distinguish between body, soul, and spirit. At this very moment, you exist as a spirit being, possessing a soul, housed in a body. We must adopt the mindset of Christ to rise above the influences demanding conformity and consciously live above them. We have the responsibility to become aware of our divine nature and practice the principle of submission to God's will in every area of our lives.
