Good morning, everyone, and welcome to BC 214, Developing the Human Spirit. Last week we missed our class. I didn't do the class. So let's move forward. Today we're going to get into the next chapter, chapter 5. I haven't really finished the notes, so I'm just going to talk first and then complete typing of the notes, and I'll share it with you subsequently. But in this fifth chapter, what I want to do or share with us is start talking to us about how the human spirit interacts with the spiritual realm. So that's what people talk about in chapter 5. And then in chapter 6, which is the next chapter, we want to talk about, let me see what I put down. We want to talk about the faculties of the human spirit. We want to cover that, and then subsequently we want to cover the functions of the human spirit. And yeah, so those will be the two main topics. And then we'll close off the course talking a little bit about imparting and reproducing spirit to spirit. So those are the three main sections we want to cover. Just to repeat, we're going to talk right now today about the human spirit and its interactions with the spiritual realm to get some understanding on it. Then after we do that, we're going to go into talking about the faculties of the human spirit. So we'll cover that. Then we will talk about the functions of the human spirit. Okay, so those are three of the main sections we want to cover before we finish this course. Now in this chapter, chapter 5, maybe talking about the human spirit and its interactions with the spiritual realm, I want to focus mainly on the born-again human spirit. We're not too much interested in what happens on the other side. Now, you know, we know that we are spiritual beings and God has created us with the capacity to interact with the spiritual realm, that is the unseen realm. And in the spiritual realm, there is God and the angels, kingdom of light, but there's also darkness. There are Satan and his demon spirits, demonic powers. Now people have the capacity to engage with the spiritual realm, either with God or with the dark side. So there are people, human beings, who have developed their ability to interact with the dark side with demonic spirits through, you know, various practices. And we're not interested in that. We are aware that that is possible. We are aware that people do that and they derive, you know, various things through that. But that's not what we're going to explore. What we want to understand is how does our born-again human spirit interact with the spiritual realm? Now maybe we'll talk a little bit about the dark side, just to be aware of it, but that's not what we want to explore. What we want to explore is do we see in the Bible about how the born-again spirit, that means a believer, how does he engage with God, the spiritual realm, with God, who is spirit? So at the very beginning, we said, you know, God is spirit and when we engage with God, when we interact with God or fellowship with God, it is primarily spirit to spirit, spiritually. So we are not fellowshiping with God physically. You can't shake hands with God. You know, you can't sit physically next to him and talk to him. You can't do that. But we relate to God, spirit to spirit. And so our interactions with God are really in the spiritual realm, spirit to spirit. And so I want us to understand that so that when we understand that dynamic, we can of course stand to benefit. We can stand to interact with God or engage with God or fellowship with God in a much better way. So it becomes a little bit more meaningful as we engage with God. So that's what we want to do in this chapter, the human spirit and its interactions with the spiritual realm. Our focus is on the born-again human spirit as a believer. We will just mention a few things about what happens with the dark side, which is, you know, people who connect with demonic powers. Get aware of that. Now I want to summarize four main things. Let me type it out here. These four important things. Now we're talking from the perspective of a believer. I'll give you the notes for these things. I'm just kind of developing the content. So it's not in a form that I want to release to you yet. But I'll just go ahead and speak first and then type it out and give it to you in a little bit more complete form. But in me, these are four things that we must understand and how God, who is spirit, engages with us in our born-again human spirit. So we are focusing on that, the born-again human spirit. So wherever in these four sentences, when I put spirit with small s, I'm referring to the born-again spirit, the spirit of a believer. The spirit of the capitalist, of course, refers to the Holy Spirit, God, who is spirit. So these four things, and these are actually very simple, but we need to understand it. And then we will get into a little deeper, that is, we get into the faculties of the spirit, because it is through these faculties that the Holy Spirit interacts or communicates with our human spirit. So for example, and we'll probably repeat this when we get into the next section, we talk about the faculties. For example, our human body, you all understand, our human body has five main senses, like what we see, smell, hear, feel, taste. And through these five senses, we actually connect with the whole entire natural realm. So we have five channels of input, that's all. But through these five channels of input, we are connecting to the entire, I mean, everything in the natural realm, we experience through these five channels of input. And of course, it's a very complex interaction of these five channels. So when you're you're seeing, you're feeling, you're hearing, you can, you know, smell, sometimes taste, and all that comes into an experience or comes into our learning or understanding. Similarly, the human spirit has five faculties at least. And it is through these five faculties that God who is spirit communicates to the human spirit, the person, the inner person, God who is spirit communicates through these. So we need to understand how these faculties operate and how these spiritual faculties engage with the spiritual realm so that God can communicate, which we will do in the next section. But right now, I want us to understand these four important things, that how the spiritual realm, God who is spirit interacts with our human spirit. So number one, the spirit, which has got the Holy Spirit, who has got the Holy Spirit, bears witness with our spirit. Now, we understand this, or let's go first to first Corinthians chapter two. I'll put this in the notes, first Corinthians chapter two. Now, let's look at verses 11 and 12, please. First Corinthians chapter two, verses 11 and 12. Could somebody read that for us, please? First Corinthians chapter two, verses 11 and 12. Shall I read first? Please go ahead. First Corinthians chapter two, verse 11 and 12 says, for what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him. Even so, no one knows the things of God except the spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. Amen. So verse 11 is telling us that the human spirit, the human spirit is talking about the human spirit, knows everything about the man, about that individual. Verse 11, what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of man, which is in him. That means your human spirit knows everything about you. So all of who you are is there in your human spirit. And then Paul says, everything about God, the Holy Spirit knows. That's the second half of verse 11. And then he says, verse 12, that we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God. That means we have received the Holy Spirit. For what purpose? Verse 12, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. So the Holy Spirit, who knows everything about God, he's been given to us. He comes and dwells with our spirit, so that he can teach our spirit, he can impart knowledge, he can speak to us, to our spirit. And from your human spirit is going to come the understanding concerning everything about you because the Holy Spirit, who is God, who knows everything about God, he's also the one who is going to impart to your human spirit the things that God wants you to know about yourself as well. So the knowledge about God's call on your life, the knowledge about God's purpose for your life, the knowledge about what God wants you to do in your life is going to come from the Holy Spirit to your human spirit, then come into your understanding. So if you want to think about it like this, your human spirit is what knows everything about you, and it's in your human spirit that God is going to reveal things concerning you, and then from there it's going to come into our understanding, and then we live it out. But the Holy Spirit has been given to engage with our spirit. God engages with us first and foremost spirit to spirit. And one of the things he does at the very beginning is he bears witness with our spirit. So we read about that in Romans and I know we are all familiar with these verses. We go to Romans chapter 8 and we'll look at verses 16 and 17. Romans 8, okay, let's read what's 14 to 16. Romans 8 chapter 8, 14 to 16, please. Romans 8, 14 to 16. Yeah, Romans chapter 8 was 14 to 16, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God, for you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the spirit of sonship, and by him we cry above Father. The Spirit Himself justifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now, if your children... That's good. Thank you. Thank you. So we'll pick up in verse 15 says, you know, you did not receive the spirit of bondage to fear, but you received the spirit of sonship, Holy Spirit. So here the Holy Spirit is referred to as a spirit of sonship. He's the one who makes us sons and daughters of God. He's a spirit of adoption. He makes us sons and daughters of God. So the Holy Spirit, now I'm connecting this back to 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 12, that we have received the spirit was from God. He's a spirit of sonship, a spirit of adoption. But what does he do in our hearts? It tells us here that it is by him that we cry out above Father. It tells us here that he bears witness with our spirit. Now this bearing witness really, it is the word to testify. It's like you're testifying, you're giving evidence to, you're saying something that you know as a fact. And so the Holy Spirit is bearing witness. He's testifying with our spirit or through our spirit. He is giving evidence that we are children of God. So the first thing that happens when the spirit of God comes upon us, our spirit is, he brings about that conviction. So conviction inside you is birthed from the Holy Spirit and at a very basic level, the conviction to know that you are a child of God, that you're a son and a daughter of God. And this happens at the time of being born again. So when you're born again, you know you're a child of God. But how do you know that? What makes you feel so convinced about it? I mean, we have no external, you know, evidence. We didn't see a handwriting on the clouds or something like that. And yet we say so confidently, I am a child of God. How do you know that? Because the spirit gives that conviction. But then what I want to extend that understanding is conviction for a lot of other things comes in a similar manner. But the Holy Spirit gives you conviction. He bears witness with your spirit. If somebody asks me, how do you know you're supposed to be a pastor? Like you're supposed to be pastoring the church? How do you know? Did God appear to you and tell you that you're supposed to pastor? Did an angel come and tell you, how do you know? How do you know you're doing what God wants you to do? How do you know God wants you to be in the city of Bangalore and, you know, be doing these things, you know, like pastoring a church or serving people through a Bible college or whatever? How do you know that God appeared to you? Did an angel come to you? Now some people, very few, may have those kinds of experiences where, you know, an angel came or the Lord Jesus personally came to them. But most of us don't. But how do you know you're supposed to do that? How can you say, I know that is exactly. Well, the answer is very simple. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit. The Holy Spirit testifies to, he produces that conviction in our spirit. And it is this conviction that forms the basis for what we call as being led by the Spirit. Because he has in verse 14, Romans 8.40, as many as are led by the Spirit. So I may make, I may, or we may make a statement. I'm just using my personal example. I may make a statement and say, the Lord led me to the city of Bangalore to start a church, to pioneer a church, to take pastor a church, to serve people through the local church. And the Lord led us to start a Bible college. And the Lord led us, etc., etc., do this and do this question. Did God appear to you and tell you to do it? Did an angel come to you and tell you to do it? On what basis do you say the Lord led you? Answer simple. Conviction. The Spirit bears witness with our spirit. The Spirit testifies. He gives evidence to our spirit. I mean, you act on that witness. When you act on that conviction, you are led by the Spirit. Do we all understand this? So this is the first one. Romans, based on Romans chapter 8, 14, 15, 16. I'm connecting that back to 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 11 and 12. So if you want to know everything about yourself, I mean, if you want to know about yourself, what is your calling? What is your purpose in life? Well, it's your spirit that knows everything about you. But where does your spirit get that knowledge about you? It comes from the Holy Spirit. So somebody asks me, what is God's purpose for your life? And I say, you know, God wanted me to, you know, do what I'm doing now, you know, be here and serve him here and etc. So how do you know that was God's purpose for your life? Where did you get it from? Well, it came out of my spirit. But how did you get into your spirit? The Holy Spirit put that conviction. And then as you live out of that, you're actually being led by the spirit. So that's the first thing. The interaction of the spirit of God with our human spirit, giving us conviction and leading us, leading us into the purpose of God for our lives. That's the first thing. Any questions on that first part? Vessy, can I ask a question? So how can we be sure that it is really the Holy Spirit who is giving the conviction or am I getting influenced by people's opinions or, you know, even my own thoughts about the matter? So can we really confirm it basically that it is from God? So one of the things, and I'm not saying the only thing, but one of the things I really like to point to in response to that question, which is a question all of us have, you know, because we all, as we pay attention to what is happening within us in our human spirit, because the spirit is bearing witness with our spirit. And we feel convinced about certain things. I have to do this. Of course, the next question is, how do I discern? How do I know for sure that this witness that I feel, this conviction that I feel, is the Holy Spirit? One of the things that I like to point to is Ephesians 3, or maybe we should read this whole passage here. Ephesians 3, 1 to 7. I'll just summarize it. Ephesians 3, 1 to 7. What Paul is talking about in Ephesians 3, 1 to 7 is about the grace of God that was given to him. And he says, you know, this was revealed to him. He says, you know, the revelation that he made known to me, the mystery. So Paul understood about the grace of God that was given to him. And there was, of course, the mystery of God also revealed to him. And he recognized that there was the grace of God given to him to verse 7, to be a minister of that mystery. Right? So he recognized it. But in that recognition came also verse 7, the gift of the grace of God, secondly, the effective working of his power. So he says there was verse 2, there was the grace of God that was given to him to be a minister. So that's the recognition of what God called him to do, wanted him to do. But with that recognition of being a minister, there were two other things. There was the gift of the grace of God. And there was the working of his power, the effective working of his power. So one of the things that I would look for is, has God given me the gift of grace in that area? So is there the gift of grace? Is God's grace being put upon my life for that? And second, is there the effective working of his power in that direction? So these are two important things. That there is the grace of God over somebody's life, aligned to what they are called to do. So there's calling, there's gifting, there's grace, and there's power. So all four have to line up. The call of God, the gift of God, the grace of God, and the power of God line up. That's where we would be very effective. So I would look for that. At least signs for it, you know, it's not going to be obviously in its mature state. We grow in these things, of course, but at least I need to see indicators or signs of the gift, grace, and power of God at work aligned to that conviction that calling. Sure, sure. Thank you. Thank you best. Yeah. Okay. I see Beth's question. Where do involuntary physical reactions come from, our spirit? I know I believe the word and in my mind I've heard peaceful. My body reacts at just fast heart rate or stomach soon. Where does that come from? I'm not a doctor or I'm not a specialist in this area. So I'm just sharing my thoughts. So don't take what I say as final or anything. I'm just sharing my thoughts in response to your question on where do involuntary physical reactions come from? Sometimes, I'm not saying always, but sometimes what affects our spirit eventually comes through our mind and affects our body. So if I'm very anxious, I'm very disturbed, distressed, and my spirit doesn't seem to be at peace. Then that sense of restlessness, feeling disturbed, anxiety, so on can obviously affect my mind and my body or sometimes. And I think the second case, which is I think is more common than the first one. The second case is I may be in my spirit, very comfortable resting on the promise of God, resting in God, but I haven't quietened my mind down, my soul. My soul has not yet come to the place of being like a veined child. The psalmist writes about it. My soul is still in that place of being disturbed. Spirit, yes, I have learned to, okay, that's the promise of God, I'll rest in it. But my soul and my mind, my emotions are still in that place of being agitated. And then that does affect my body. Right? I'm not a psychologist, I'm just saying based on what we understand from Scripture. And the second case is probably the most common for all of us believers because, you know, all of us believers, we know the promise of God. We know what God has spoken and we can affirm that. But then our mind is still anxious or disturbed or restless just because, you know, it's so connected to the natural world, things we see here or, you know, our mind is at work. And so we must learn to quieten our mind down. And then it can, you know, or if our mind is very agitated, then it affects our body or so that's the connect. So that would be my response to you. Your question is the second case, which is very often. Okay. All right. So going back to how the spirit interacts with our spirit, the Holy Spirit interacts with our spirit. Number one is this conviction, bearing witness. Second, let me just move on and cover these four. The second is this, the Holy Spirit gives revelation. This is in the partition of knowledge to our human spirit. Now, knowledge in our human spirit can come through two ways. One is through the normal process of the senses to our mind and then into our spirit. So for example, right now, as you're listening to me, and as we are all reading the scripture and we're all thinking about the same thing and we're all discussing, we are learning from each other. It's the normal process. That means, you know, we're interacting, we're reading the scripture, we are discussing, we are learning, we're asking questions. And through that knowledge goes through our mind. We understand what we are discussing and what we are reading, and then it gets into our spirit, which is good. But the Holy Spirit can also directly impart revelation to your human spirit, because he knows all things. He knows everything about God. And he teaches us, he teaches us, you know, John 16 verse 30. Jesus said that when he, the spirit, let's turn there. I hope, I wish we had a lot of time, I could just go on this very slowly, but we'll have to go a little fast here. But John 16, John 16, and verse 13. Could somebody read that, please? John 16 verse 13, please. Shall I read first? Please go ahead. However, when he, the spirit of truth has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he will speak and he will tell you things to come. Amen. So the Holy Spirit is going, Jesus said, the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. He teaches us. John 14, 26, he will teach you all things. Same thing, John, you know, in 1 John 2, 27, he repeats this. 1 John chapter 2, verse 20, and also verse 27, he says, you know, the anointing that you have of him, referring to the Holy Spirit, he teaches you all things. And verse 27, verse John 2, 27, he says, and you don't need any man to teach you because the Holy Spirit teaches you all things. Now, that is not disregarding, you know, the people whom God has put in the body to teach, but the emphasis is the Holy Spirit is teaching you. He's imparting knowledge to your human spirit or he's giving revelation, spiritual knowledge to your human spirit. So that's the second thing. And we must pay attention to that, that there is knowledge being, spiritual knowledge, spiritual truth, the Holy Spirit is teaching your human spirit, giving understanding, giving revelation, giving wisdom to your spirit. And then you pick it up. So sometimes, you know, if you are paying attention, you will realize that there are moments when you can use the word tube light or some light coming on, a light bulb coming on. It's like, oh, I understand it. Oh, I didn't see it before. Now, we use those phrases, so we use those terms, but it's the Holy Spirit giving your revelation in your spirit. And he's, oh, God, I understand now what's happening. The Holy Spirit is teaching you. He's guiding you to all truth. He is imparting truth or revelation to your human spirit and your human spirit is understanding it. So that's the second function. That's the second thing of how God interacts with our human spirit, the born again human spirit. He teaches, he gives truth, he gives revelation, he gives understanding. But the same question we would ask is how do I validate that what I'm, what I, you know, I feel I've received in my spirit is, is from the Holy Spirit. Well, that's validated against the scriptures. Right. The spirit and the word agree. So this is first John chapter five or seven, the spirit and the word agree. That means what the Holy Spirit speaks, the living word and the written word all agree. So the Holy Spirit is not going to contradict the written word. He reveals, he unveils truth in the word. So revelation is given to our human spirit. So that's part of our learning. There is the learning that we have through the natural process that is through our mind, which is good. And we must continue with that, but we must also be open to the revelation because sometimes our answers may not come from the natural learning process. That is, you know, you, you're, you're searching, you may find all the books and you may listen to everybody and trying to find out, get answers. It may not come that way. It may come from the Holy Spirit guiding you to all truth. He gives you that understanding. That's where the answers come from. The third way the spirit of God interacts with our human spirit is this. He produces the fruit of the spirit. And this is in Galatians five. Now we are all familiar with it. We talk about or over in Galatians five, the Apostle Paul says, we must walk in the spirit. We must be led by the spirit. We must live by the spirit. That means my whole life here is originating from the spirit of God. Our human spirit is connected with the Holy Spirit and life originates from that. We live by the spirit. We walk in the spirit. We are led by the spirit. And in that context, he says, but the fruit of the spirit, and he mentions love, joy, peace, kindness, meekness, goodness, temperance, faith, against the such, there is no law, the fruit of the spirit. So what is the fruit of the spirit? It's what the Holy Spirit developing the character and the virtue of Christ in our human spirit, which is then expressed through our manner of life, the way we live. But where is it developed in your human spirit? How is it developed? The Holy Spirit develops that. The Holy Spirit releases, produces that in our spirit. What love, giving us the capacity to love, joy, giving us the capacity to walk in joy, peace, kindness, meekness, self-control, faith, you know, all of that. The Holy Spirit produces. It comes from him, but it's produced in our spirit, developed in our spirit, becomes a part of us, and then we walk in it. So the spirit produces the fruit of the spirit. And the last one, and this is based on 1 Corinthians 12, the spirit manifests through the human spirit. So when the Holy Spirit wants to work through us, he manifests himself. That means he is expressing himself. He is making himself visible. You know, that's such an amazing thought. That God is making himself visible through us, human beings, born again people. So God, so that's what the manifestation of the spirit is. The spirit of God is revealing something of himself through us. How does it happen? The Holy Spirit works through our human spirit, desiring to express something of himself, whether it's the power of God or whether it's word of knowledge or word of wisdom or working miracles. And then it comes through us. So then we process it and we express it. And when we express it, it's actually the manifestation of the spirit. The Holy Spirit is expressing himself through us, but it begins Holy Spirit human spirit, our soul and body to release it. So we have to learn how to pick that up, first of all, in our human spirit. Second, how to bring our soul and body aligned to that, so that the Holy Spirit can express. So many times the reason we don't see manifestations is not because the Holy Spirit is unwilling to manifest himself. Many times we don't see manifestations is because the rest of the flow is interrupted. Either we have not learned to pick up in our spirit, or we have not learned how the soul and the body should come aligned to that, so that it can be released through us. And so right there it stops. So the problem is not with the Holy Spirit not deciding to manifest himself. I think the Holy Spirit is more than eager to manifest himself. But in our spirit, we have not learned the interaction and we have not learned how to bring our soul and body in subjection, so that we can release him more freely and more effectively. And many times our mind and our body just block the flow. So four things about the interaction of the born-again spirit with the Spirit of God. Number one, the Spirit that is the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit. Number two, the Spirit gives revelation or teaches our human spirit. Number three, the Spirit produces in our human spirit the fruit of the Spirit that is a character in the virtues of Christ. And number four, the Spirit manifests himself through our spirit. The Mensee operates, he works through our spirit to touch people. So our invitation is how do we develop the human spirit so that these four interactions are smooth, they are growing in what's happening. That's what we're going to pursue. Any questions now? I know we have a few more minutes. Any questions on these four things? Are you all with me? Do you're understanding what I'm saying? Any questions? Yes, Pastor, I have a question. Some people, you know, someone I know, just prays and then opens the Bible randomly and reads the Word and says that I found this Word for me in the Word of God. So that did not, you know, convince me. So when we say that Lord gives us a Word to confirm. So Pastor, how do we get that Word? Like what is the way we should go and is this the thing right or wrong? That's what I wanted to know. Now, you know, if somebody has the Bible and they just randomly open and then read a verse, so right now my finger is on Psalm 132 verse 4, I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumbered to my eyelids. You know, now that is not the way to do things. Right? Now God may at times, at occasion do that. But that's not the way we're supposed to be led by God. Right? It's not casting lots. It's not, you know, it's not that. But how would God use the Scriptures in leading? Well, He would, you know, the first one, He would bear witness with your spirit. And in that bearing witness, He would give you a Scripture. So that's coming by inspiration, not by accident. So this thing, you do this is by accident. You know, now my finger is on another verse in Jeremiah 2315. It doesn't make sense. But, you know, that's by accident. Now God doesn't lead us by accident. He leads us by the witness of the Holy Spirit. Right? So we have to be sensitive to that. You know, for example, yesterday, Sunday service, Finnish ministering, I usually come down and I wait, you know, I just minister to people one on one. And, you know, one man came to me and for prayer. And at that moment, the Lord just, in my spirit, it's already happening very quietly. It's not like some thunder and lightning in my spirit. He just, you know, I would say, I would use the word reminded me of a Scripture. At that time, I couldn't recall the reference. I came and looked it up later on. But I remember the words. There's a Psalm 113 verse seven and eight. So I couldn't remember the reference at that moment. But the word was very clear. God raises the poor out of the ash heap and puts them among princes. So I just, you know, I just spoke that to him. Now I didn't tell him the Lord spoke to me. The Lord said to me, and I said, you know, hey, the Bible says, you know, God is what the Bible says. The Bible says that God will take the poor out of the ash heap and set them among princes. So I want you to just believe God, you know, that God will take you out of where you are right now and put you to do this. Right. So now that's how I spoke. It seemed like a very normal conversation. But actually, the reason I was speaking that particular words to him was because at that very moment, the Holy Spirit reminded me, speak this to him. So that's inspiration, the spirit bearing witness for us. But then the next person I was praying, and I just began to speak things over his life. And I was not speaking, you know, randomly. It seemed like a normal conversation. But for me, I know I'm speaking under the anointing. Now I don't tell him, you know, oh, I've, you know, I feel the anointing and I'm speaking under the prophecy and all your life. No, I don't just, I'm just having a normal conversation. But the words I'm speaking to him at that moment is actually, I can, I personally know the sense, the anointing. I personally recognize that the very words I'm speaking are inspired at that moment. But my conversation with him is very normal. And I'm just speaking over his life. Then I pray with him. So that's how we should be operating when we are ministering people, not randomly opening the Bible, putting our finger and saying this is God's Word. That's accident. We are led by the inner witness, you know, we are led by the Holy Spirit bearing witness with our spirit. One follow up question first, if we have time. Sometimes is it possible that a word is coming to you, a simple word like humble? And then you start reading the word, which in the Bible, which speaks of humility, humbleness, something. And then you get the word from the Lord, what is Lord talking to you about? Look, I mean, is that the way? Yeah, that's, that's also, that's also fine. That's also fine. So God is giving you that lead or the leading of a particular word or a theme. Then you go back into the scripture, you connect it to the scripture, which is perfectly fine. And it is the right thing to do. And then you speak out of that. And that's, that's perfect. Thank you. But the inspiration at that moment is coming from God. He's giving you what to look at. You know, in this case, example would be humility, you know, so that's good. Abraham, can we say the scriptures is the outward confirmation of the work of the Holy Spirit in us? Yes. All right, so the spirit bears witness with our spirit, but the spirit and the word agree. So we always have to come back and check with the scriptures. All right, any other questions? I know we're a little over time. Okay, so I will write this up for us. We will complete this chapter. And then we will move into the next chapter next week, which is the faculties of the spirit. So in order for us to pick up these four interactions, our faculties must be fine tuned. So we're going to talk about that. Okay. Prabhakar, a little example of training our soul and body. Okay, okay. So we will touch on that as we talk about training our spiritual faculties in how we will talk on that. Okay. All right, let's go for a break. And we will connect to the next class in about five to 10 minutes. I will open up the class right after this and then take your break and join. Okay. Thank you, everyone. I'll see you in the next class. God bless. Bye now.
