Spirit, Soul & Body

The best way to healing and health that I have discovered is to start by fixing what’s going on on the inside, that way everything on the outside follows suit. If we start by trying to fix what’s happening on the outside it ends up being a “bandaged” job. One of the best ways that I have heard this explained is with a train.

Each of us are made up of a spirit (the part created in God’s image that lives forever), a soul (our emotions, feelings and free will), and a body (the outside part that houses the soul & spirit).  We often live our lives, making decisions with our feelings and our emotions. ” I feel sad today so I’m going to stop for a late to cheer me up.”  “I had a bad day at work today and I’m tired so I’m going to go through the drive thru on the way home. I know I shouldn’t eat it but after all I’ve been through today, I deserve it. ” We each have our own customized justification, that is lead by our emotions. This is not the best way to make decisions. Our emotions are like a caboose on a train, the caboose is meant to follow just as our emotions are meant to follow.  If the caboose is leading the train then it is going backwards, it is going in the wrong direction, (we are going in the wrong direction). The engine is God, He should be leading our train. God is Spirit and He talks to our spirit and our spirit leads us and then our emotions will follow. This is how we should be living our daily lives, and making our daily decisions. With God at the head (The Engine) of our train and our emotions at the end (the caboose).

In this same way is how we need to overcome the obstacles that come our way, and it is how we need to get healing for ourselves. As an example, let’s say that we want to lose some weight. We can’t just go on a diet and exercise and expect to lose the weight and keep it off. We may be successful at first but chances are the weight will return and maybe even be greater than before. First we must go to the root cause, the source of the weight gain in the first place. This is a spiritual matter. We need to get help from God and support from the people that we trust in order to get healing for our spirit, and then we can make the right changes in our lifestyle with a healed spirit and with our emotions in check, allowing for success in our weight loss!

So remember always put your spirit first, get things right with God and He will help you with the rest, then victory is bound to come! I’m hear to help in any way!
