Many walk the face of this earth unsure of who they are and as many more why they are here as the result of not knowing where they came from.
Because they do continue to maintain the ability to walk and present themselves as if survivors that alone seems to prove something to the fair amount of those who are willing to believe what their life story puts on display.
Some persons consider themselves as "Anchored" because they've embraced the personalities of those which have physically ushered their bodies into this world.
While others will consider themselves fortunate having encountered a parental "Mentor" as if the replacement of those that were found to be less enjoyable. To put it bluntly someone else to compare themselves to.
All the above can only hope to speak to the mind of the soul as well the condition of the body in which that same mind indwells. Some might even go as far to suggest both of the above more closely defines the remaining results of the mind of their "Flesh".
What if the question were posed, "How does one find his spirit if their spirit is something which can't be seen"?
Can a person prove their spirit or does their spirit prove them?
The following was once said concerning a specific people.
1 John 4:6
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
NIV
Not to make too much of it but the author intentionally chose to express the spirit of truth with a capital "S" and the following with a lower case "s" (falsehood). Either way both are mentioned as a spirit(s) yet obviously each exist in two separate "Hoods".
Does simply speaking "Words" meet the requirements of having been spoken from the mouth of God as if the truth or does that consideration require something more?
Every voice that speaks always has Intentional motive(s). Intentional motive to mean the driving compulsion which caused the voice to speak in the "First" place.
When I say "First place" I say that to mean a voice as if, "One of authority".
I personally believe that all men come into this world from the womb more than prepared to ask the endless supply of questions his own imagination can dream up. He has so many questions about that which is true that he's destined for failure from the beginning unless He encounters and believes the truth.
Logic might suggest man can survive because he has, yet the question still remains "How and in what condition does he find the entirety of himself (3 part being) after the limits of time have elapsed?
Logic should also conclude that a persons body returns to the earth. Upon further investigation logic would also conclude the body then returns to its natural state (dirt/dust/ashes).
What could lead logic to such a conclusion?
Where do most all of our bodies get placed despite what we confess we believe with regards to being possessed by a spirit once we're dead?
Obviously most end up in the ground by some method, yet I can easily admit that some do manage to live on the in the minds of others from inside a urn on a shelf or mantle.
I've attended many funeral viewings in my life time. Some of the more common statements heard are "They look so peaceful" or "They're in a much better place where they are now"!
Were they speaking about their physical body just before it got buried or were they also expressing the details concerning their soul(s)?
Are we as confident as they are where they now find themselves or is that a summation that's based on everything that caused them to be considered "Good" because their life exhibited all the good things we too might enjoy?
Luke 16:25-26
But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'
Luke 16:27-28
"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'
NIV
You are aware the above consideration could require a life time (however long that might be) to get to know? There are some who do get a late start in this process and one of which includes myself.
I sometimes have to view the "Everything" that is and is also found to be within my heart, mind ans soul as if something I truly don't or maybe "Can't" fully fathom.
It's as if I had to come to the realization that if I don't fully know myself at any given moment there must be an even greater possibility that I alone don't completely understand the importance of being forgiven of all wrong doing(s).
Especially so if I alone am not the judge or law maker which determines what is right or wrong.
Once the soul realizes what ALL means in terms of forgiveness, that can only soul only then begin to realize ALL that Love is capable of.
Many have have fallen in love with who they assume they are outside the consideration and need of a Savior, yet how many have fallen in love with "Who" the Lord says we were to the point we now live as if He did Save of from the intentions of something greater?
John 16:27
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
NIV
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind .' This is the first and greatest commandment.
NIV
Is that denial or lack of knowing who God truly is? That is to suggest we can pick and choose or deny what the spirit of God is said to performs as while taking up an inhabitants while in this world?
Why can't it be just that easy in order to determine which spirit is of God and which spiritual expression(s) God not only defines, but also considers to be from the presence of all that is "Evil"?
How easy it to see your self there if all you have to do is produce the names and faces of those thought to be less deserving than YOU so that you make it in?
All these are simple questions, yet what is the truth concerning the entire consideration which pertains to a "Life" which gets to enjoy the length of eternity as if a personage?
If life is all about reward how rewarding does the thought of eternity seem while knowing that true life is something that's only found in Christ Jesus OUR savior?
Notice I didn't suggest only my savior, but OUR(s)?
