PROSPERITY OF YOUR SOUL
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III John 1:2 (KJV)
Man is a tripartite being. He is principally a spirit that has a soul that lives in a house called the body. Man is not a soul. Man has a soul. There is a difference. Man is a spirit because he was created in the image of Yahweh who is a spirit. At the breathe of Yahweh, his soul came alive. Genesis 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” It was the breathe of life that brought about the living soul. This accounts why life begins at new birth. You have a dead soul without a living spirit. It is the breathe of life that imparts the living soul. This is very critical for you to understand. When man died, his soul died. But at new birth, he is made alive and that affects the soul also. The soul is quickened at new birth. The soul is your will, emotion and intellect/mind. But the saving of the soul is a function of knowledge. The soul is saved completely as the mind is renewed by the Word of Yahweh. This is a gradual process and this process continues until the person exits time into eternity. But as long as you are in time, you would continually need the renewing of the mind by the Word. The prosperity of the soul is a function of knowledge of the Lord.
To prosper in your soul, you must be able to control your mind, your will and your emotions. Just because you have accumulated large amounts of knowledge does not mean that your mind is prosperous. Prosperity of the mind comes when you use the knowledge that has been accumulated—when you are controlling your mind instead of your mind controlling you. Second Corinthians 10:5 says we are to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Yahweh (or against the Word of Yahweh), bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of HaMashiach. The person who does this has control of his mind and is in position to prosper mentally. You cannot control your mind completely without the Word of Yahweh being alive and operating inside you. You must control your will in the same way. Yahweh doesn’t want a broken will that He can dominate. He wants your will whole and in submission to His will so that the two of you can work together in unity. When a man’s soul is prosperous, his will is in line with Yahweh’s will.
The person who is emotionally prosperous can control his emotions. I used to think this meant never showing emotions, but that’s not so. Yahushua had complete control over His emotions, yet He wept at the tomb of Lazarus! The important thing is that His weeping didn’t cause Him to join the grief-stricken throng of people. He continued to move in the Spirit. He put His priorities where they belonged and raised Lazarus from the dead. He showed emotions, but He was not moved by them. Selah!
REMEMBER: Your mind, will and emotions must be in line with the Word for you to prosper in your soul.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for grace to submit my will to You in all things. I receive the grace to control my emotions and go for Your knowledge in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever that is hindering the prosperity of your soul dies today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
