New Apostles Voice

Every human being is composed of spirit, soul and body. We are all tripartite beings. We live in a tent or skeletal framework surrounded by flesh called our body. This is our outer covering or tent. Each person also has a soul. This is our psychological part. In it we also have three parts. The first is called our mind or intellect, we also have our will with which we make our decisions and thirdly our emotions or feelings. The third part of our tripartite being is our spirit which is able to connect us to God, the Holy Spirit. Some people confuse their soul with their spirit. They are two different entities. Only born again Christians can contact God with their spirit. Our spirit is sometimes called our inner voice or inner person. In unbelievers, the spirit remains, spiritually, dormant to God's Spirit, but unfortunately, it can contact evil spirits.

Every Christian, when they pray, must believe that they will receive God's answer, to their petitions and intercessions, the moment they utter their prayer, in faith, to the heavenly throne. Their faith must always be based on God's word, the Holy Bible and the directions of the Holy Spirit. These are the two great witnesses of God the Father. Don't waste your thoughts and breath on useless scattering of words but on the sure foundation of God's plans and purposes, for you and at times, for other people. Always be a prayer person who desires to pray, in fellowship, with the Father and the Son, through the revealed knowledge of God, the Holy Spirit. To keep on reading and listening to the Lord, for a consistent prayer life, is as important to a believer, as breathing fresh air.

Every born again Christian has been set free from the kingdom of Satan's darkness and are now living in the kingdom of light, the kingdom of God's dear Son, Jesus Christ. The Lord's anointing of freedom is upon every child of God. We read about the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, which anoints all true believers, from Luke chapter 4 verses 18 and 19. God's children are also empowered to preach and witness the gospel, to unbelievers. They can also announce pardon and forgiveness so that the scales of unbelief are removed from the understanding, of unbelievers. Those who live in the blindness of this world, that is all those who are oppressed by the flesh, the world and the devil, can now live in God's glorious light. This can be the very day of salvation that God's favour flows, to all mankind, willing to believe!

After the Fall, in the Garden of Eden, all of mankind became sinners and were reduced to living in the dark world of sin empowered by Satan and His demonic hosts. Mankind had fallen from his graceful fellowship with God and all had now become enslaved. However, there were some faithful people such as Enoch and Noah, from the first world, before the Flood, who were still able to have fellowship, with their Creator God. Mankind, as a whole, was in cruel bondage to sin and its cruel ways until the advent of Jesus Christ, into man's fallen world. When Jesus died on the Cross and then rose again, mans' penalty for sin, was broken. All who believed in Him were now set free and were able to be resurrected, with Him and their sins forgiven. They were born again children, of God, who, from the moment they believed, were then able to have fellowship and also able to live with God, for eternity.

Christians are a separated people from the unsaved world around them. Does that make them a special people? It sure does! They have been willing to repent of their sins and failures and have had their spirit person, their eternal them, recreated in the likeness of God and have become one of God's children, for eternity. Were they always special? Yes and no is the problematical answer. Because they were willing to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, they were then elected by God the Father, and recreated by the Holy Spirit, to become one of His special chosen people. This means that their old sin nature had been recreated or born again. God's chosen ones began their earthly life like everyone else, on earth. Their inherited sin nature was in bondage to Satan and was a slave of sin. When they repented they were born again and have become a separate person of Almighty God.
