You are a Soul

Contrary to what many of us believe and have been taught, we are not bodies. The bodies that we refer to as ourselves are only the temporary residences of our souls when they are on the terrestrial plane. The reason why we think we are bodies is because we are alienated from our life: God's breath and our bodies are the only realities that we (the embodied soul) are conscious of:

The Bible
The Bible tells us that God created man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and that after this, the man became a living soul Gen 2:7 .i.e the Breath of God transformed the man into a living soul. (not a living body)

We are dead souls living inside living Bodies:
God told Adam and Eve that the consequence of eating from the forbidden tree was a Sure death. But after they ate from the forbidden tree, they seemingly did not die. Also, Jesus stated in John 11:26 that everyone that lives and believes in Him would never die. But all the apostles who believed in Him seemingly died: To the best of our knowledge, none of the Apostles and early saints are alive today.

The questions you ought to ask God if you are familiar with these two accounts are: Were You lying to Eve when You said that she would die if she ate of the forbidden fruit? Was Satan the one telling her the truth when he claimed she would'nt die if she ate of it? Were you simply joking when you stated that everyone that lives and believes in you would never die?
The answer to these questions is a big resounding No. The death that God was talking about was the death of the soul: When we reject God's life (His Spirit, Breath)and choose to have a life outside of Him (The devil and the flesh) We (the soul) die(s). i.e our souls go back to the original state they were before God breathed Life into them. When we accept God's life, we (our souls) are empowered to live forever.

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;:Eph 2:1 
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.Matt 10:28

Thou(God) hast clothed me(soul)with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews",Job 10:11

Satan's Deceit
The 2 main deceit strategies of the devil involve making people ignorant of the fact that they are souls in need of salvation by making them engrossed with the lusts and desires of their bodies and making those who realize that they are souls in need of salvation to think that their salvation lies inside themselves (the inner sinful nature they inherited from the forbidden tree) and not in Jesus.

After the death of our bodies, the soul is the only thing that is left. All the pleasures and cares and attention that we accord to our terrestrial bodies serve as distractions to make us neglect our true selves (our souls): They are designed by the devil to divert our attention from the fact that we are dead souls in need of a Savior.

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.John 6:53
All the occult degrees and occult titles that the children of Satan's souls attain are simply distractions that keep them from seeing that their salvation lies in Jesus and not in the cursed spirit within. When they die, the only thing that would be left is their souls. Their so called occult degrees and knowledge would perish with them and would not be able to save their souls from  hell.



Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:Eph 4:18
Our souls are dead, lost and alienated without Jesus and that is why it is very important for us to realize that we are dead souls in need of the life that only Jesus can offer.


For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?Matt 16:26

Our main goal in life should not be living to care for and gratify the temporary temple of our souls. It should be to seek the connection that Adam and Eve originally had with God. It should be to disconnect from the fruit (Spirit) that their souls ingested and the lusts of the bodies that they became trapped in as a result of their fall into sin and to reconnect with the Breath that God originally breathed into them. (The Holy Spirit: Gen 2:7, John 5:24)
-To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.1 Cor 5:5
-And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.Rom 8:10
-For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls 1 Pet 2:25
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.Rom 6:6.
 

Jesus died to give your true self (your soul) the life that your progenitors originally had. He is the perfect example of sacrificing the death and illusion that the Flesh (Body) and the serpent ( sinful spirit) promote in order to reconnect with God.

Don't let His sacrifice for you be in vain. Accept His Spirit, submit your soul to Him and live.
