 Okay. Recording is on. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to BC 214, our course on developing the human spirit. We're going to continue our journey exploring, learning. So I'd just like to invite somebody to pray with a class and we will get started. Could somebody please unmute your mic, pray with us and we will start. Anyone, please? Justus. Go ahead, Mangee. Father, we thank you for this morning again, Lord. We thank you for giving us the opportunity to come and learn about our spiritual being, Lord, our primary being of us being spiritual and us being originally from you, Lord. We pray, Father, as Pastor Shish teaches us, Lord, empower the spirit and also let your spirit, Lord, prepare our heart, Lord, so that we may receive whatever you are giving us through Pastor Shish. We pray all this in your mighty name, Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. All right. Thank you, Mangee, and welcome everyone once again. I'm sorry I just put up the PDF, just literally a few minutes before class. So you may or may not have got it yet, but that's okay. I will share the PDF and then you can download it after class. So today we're going to focus perhaps on material that may be familiar to some of us and the two things I just want to cover today. One is to emphasize to all of us that we are primarily spirit beings or spiritual beings. I'm going to emphasize that. And then I want to touch upon developing the born-again human spirit. You know, what are the things that we could do to develop the born-again human spirit? That means we are focusing on those who have been saved and regenerated. They have the life of God, so now how do we develop that born-again human spirit? Just hopefully we'll be able to cover both of these in today's lecture. Right? So what I want us to understand is that the human spirit, that means your spirit, or I'm referring to myself, my human spirit, is the real person. And the human spirit has things that we would normally associate or we are normally understand it with a person. So the human spirit is the real person with personality, faculties and functions. So personality generally you will say, okay, these are the person's characteristics or traits or we would describe it in terms of interests. If you think about a person, in fact, each one of us here in the class, if we all get to know each other, a part of our understanding of each other would be, you know, hey, this person has these kinds of interests, this person has these kind of inclinations. And of course there are these faculties and functions that are expressed to the person, what the person is able to say and do and think and all those kinds of things. And so we understand it very clearly in the natural standpoint. That means when we interact with people, we recognize, you know, this person is like this, this person is like that, you know, this person has these, this kind of a personality, maybe quiet, maybe very outspoken, maybe very strong, maybe very faithful, maybe very sincere, maybe very genuine, you know, all these things which we use to describe an individual's personality. What I want to understand is that the same can be said about those spiritual person, that the spirit, the human spirit has all of this. And really, it is the expression of the human spirit coming through the soul and the body that we are seeing on the outside. So we need to start thinking in terms of this that the human spirit is the real person. And just as we develop the soul and the body, our focus is to learn how to develop the spiritual, the born against spiritual person. That's our focus. As believers, how do you develop the spiritual person? And we also want to explore, you know, what the realms of possibilities in the spirit and how can we grow into those things as we progress in the course. But just one passage, and you know, we could look at several different passages to emphasize that the spirit, the spiritual person is the real person. But I just listed one verse, one passage, Second Peter chapter one, verses 13 to 15. Can somebody read that out loud for us, please? Second Peter chapter one verse 13 to 15. Sir, shall I read it? Please go ahead. I think it's right as long as I am in this body to stir up by way of reminder. Since I know that the putting off my body will be soon as a Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me and I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things. Thank you. Thank you. Notice how in this verse, and we will, you know, we of course find this in other places as well, where here it is Peter who is distinguishing between him and his body. Now he says in verse 13, as long as I am in this and the New King James uses the word tent, which is quite interesting. Of course, other versions would use the translated, you know, more you know, more contemporary as in body. But he says as long as I am in this tent, so the house, the body is just the house, is just the tent. But the real person is inside the house. So he says I am in this tent. So I'm going to remind you in a second video. I'm going to keep reminding you. And then in verse 14 he says I am going to put off my tent. So the real person is actually inside. And he's getting to, you know, exit. He's getting ready to leave the house. Peter is talking about himself and his imminent death. So just one example here to show us that the real person is inside the house. The body is just the dwelling place. And then to build that up further, the human spirit is the real person. And we've looked at this worse before for spirit three was four. Now we understand the context. The context is Peter is writing and he's telling, you know, women specifically here is saying, okay, you know, don't focus on the outward adorning, but let it be the inner person. But in that process is revealing something to us about the inner person. And that's our focus for spirit three and worse form. Could somebody just read the scripture text? You can leave out these Greek words. Somebody could read the scripture text for us please. Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. Amen. So that is what he says. The hidden person. So this is what anthropos is a genetic word which just means human. Now it could refer to a male or a female, right? So that the human spirit has no gender. You know, it's a person. So it's let it be the hidden person of the heart. So the heart is a person. The spirit, the human spirit is a person. And the heart is also referred to as spirit, you know, numa, the word that we have been, we mentioned earlier. So the heart, spirit, person, right? So the heart or the human, the heart or the human spirit is really, is the real person, but it's the hidden person, meaning it's not the outer person as in the visible human body. The human body you have already established is only the tent, is only the house, but the person on the inside that is the spirit, the spirit person is the real person. And God is looking at that person in the side of God, right? So the character of this person. So this person has attributes and in this case Peter is emphasizing the attributes of gentleness and quietness. So that means this hidden person has characteristics or traits, yeah, and those characteristics or those traits are what God is looking at. And in this case he's saying these these characteristics or traits of gentleness and quietness are precious and beautiful in the side of God and of course the context here is also to man, to people, to other people, because he's talking about, you know, the adorning, he says, okay, don't focus so much on the outward adorning, but in other words, you know, that is what people see, but he says, you know, let the quiet gentle and quiet spirit, let the incorruptible beauty see, so this character traits of the human spirit is incorruptible, unlike the outward adorning that we wear, that we may have, which will fade, you know, that will go away, be outward appearance, but the traits of your inner person, the real person, gentleness, quietness, and then we could add other characteristics, you know, you could add things like compassion, maybe generosity, maybe endurance, maybe patience, you know, all of these other character traits of the inner person. One, it's going to be visible to people and that is he says incorruptible beauty, meaning this will never fade away, you know, you can live, you know, whether they are 40 or 50 or 60, 70, 80, or however long these character traits of the inner person are not going to fade, you'd be able to have that with you, whereas, you know, the outer other features and the adorning, that those things will fade away, so it's visible to other people, that means the personality of my human spirit, and I will mention this a little later, the personality of my human spirit is then expressed through my soul and body, which people are able to see. That's one thing, but also it is precious on the side of God, that means God is also interested in those character traits of my human spirit or the real person, that's precious inside of God, that is these positive, these good character traits, Christ-like traits of gentleness, quietness, compassion, generosity, patience, endurance, all of that. We will see later on, you know, and which we are all familiar with, the fruit of the spirit, Galatians 5, developing those kinds of traits in the human spirit, of course with the help of the Holy Spirit, is in the side of God very precious, so there's a lot that we're picking up from here on the human spirit, and I'll just quickly repeat it and we'll re-trade it again, first of all we said that the heart or also refer to as spirit is the real person, it's the hidden person, it's the real person, then we said the hidden person has traits, character traits, and in this war, she's just mentioning two, which is gentleness and quietness, but we could definitely add to the list and Galatians 5, which we will look at later, gives us other traits or virtues, but this is part of the personality of the hidden person, the man, the person on the inside, then we said that these virtues, character traits of the hidden person, that is your heart or your spirit, is expressed through your soul and body so that people are able to see it, right, they are able to see it, that means your inner personality is being visible, expressed through the soul and the body, for the people to see, then fourthly, we also see that this, these virtues, these character traits of the human part is incorruptible, you know, it's what Peter refers to as incorruptible beauty, it's, it'll be that it's enduring through time and fifthly, lastly, we said this is also very precious in the sight of God, I mean this is what God is looking for, the personality, the virtues, the character traits of the human person or the human heart or the spirit, right, so you and I must begin to think, so we are learning to think in terms of the human spirit or the hidden person being the real person and I think I've said this before, we need to think as what is the condition of my heart or my human spirit and how do we, you know, develop that, which is what we will learn, so now extending what we have seen here for spirit three, we can say that hidden person, that is the heart or the spirit, has its own traits and characteristics which determine the individual's personality because we said that, you know, people are going to see that from outside and that's what describes your personality, so they will see example, gentleness, quietness or other things, you know, like generosity or passion or inclination, okay, this person is very compassionate towards poor people or this person is very compassionate towards, you know, maybe some other situation, you know, or this person is very passionate about providing education, whatever, you know, those are the things that are coming out actually from your spirit and people begin to see that and one example that I'm just, I put here was an incident actually in Luke chapter 9, when, and I haven't quoted all the verses in that passage but you could read from verse 15 and 56, you will see that as Jesus was passing through the village, Jesus and his disciples were passing through Samaria at one time, they didn't receive Jesus, not interested and so James and John, they turn around to Jesus and they say, Lord shall we call fire down to destroy this village as Elijah did, so they're even quoting Old Testament say, you know, Elijah called fire down to destroy the people, you know, so there are several occasions that you'll find, so shall we call fire down and Jesus rebuked them and it's very interesting what he told them at that point, he said, you do not know what manner of spirit you are of, or what sort of spirit, you know, what is, what is, what is really coming out of your heart, you know, in other words, to put it in simple words, we want to paraphrase it, he's saying, you guys will don't know yourself and you guys don't know what's really moving you at this point, on the outside it seemed very spiritual what they were asking and they were even quoting scripture, you know, like Elijah, we'll call fire down, but really the motivation was wrong, so how do we know it was wrong, because if you read the verses prior to this, they've just gone through expressing how first they felt, you know, that they were like the chosen people, the elite exclusive ones, because in the verses prior to this one incident they, you know, they saw somebody else using the name of Jesus and they said, Lord we have to stop them because he's not part of our group, so immediately you could see that by this time the disciples had some sort of a feeling that, hey, we are the chosen 12, you know, we're the elite ones, the exclusive ones, you can count that comes through and then right after that there's another incident where they're asking God, you know, who's the greatest amongst us, yeah, so already the motivations is off and so now coming here into this village, it's maybe bitterness, it may be revenge, it may be the fact that they are self-righteous or they are, you know, they have certain status as disciples of Jesus or they're just angry and short-tempered, that it's something that's, you know, a wrong motivation even though the thing that they were asking to do had biblical precedence, you know, Elijah did it, let's do it, you know, Elijah was a prophet, hey, we are apostles, let's do it, it seemed very spiritual but the motivation was wrong and so Jesus rebuked them and he didn't encourage them, he rebuked them or you could say he's called them or he collected them, hey, you don't even know what's motivating you, you know, you don't know what's coming out of your inner person, so that the things that motivate us come out of our spirit and they describe our personality, they describe our, of course, they determine our actions, our words and our actions and that's what we see here in the next verse, Matthew 15, again this passage and not reading the whole passage but in verse 19, Jesus is saying out of the heart, right, so we can replace the word spirit or heart, you know, as we saw in 1st Spirit 3, 4, the interchangeable, so out of the spirit, out of the spirit person, out of your inner person, come thoughts and your actions, so where do these thoughts and actions come from, come from your heart, what people see are the expressions of our thoughts that is words and actions and they, there's some total of words and actions, they use that to define our personality, right, so when you get to know a person, you listen to the way they speak and what they say, what's important to them, you listen to them, sorry, you see them, you know, what they're involved in, engage in them, your frame, get some sort of understanding of who they are as a person but where do those thoughts and actions come from, Jesus said, out of the spirit, out of that hidden person, these thoughts and actions are coming, so if we develop the hidden person right and we know to the right word choose, the right character traits in the heart, in the spiritual person, then what will happen is the thoughts, words and actions that come will be, you know, precious, will be virtuous in the sight of God, so while we know we have to discipline the body, we need to train the mind, fine, but the real person you have to deal with is the heart, the spiritual person and we shape and mold and develop the spiritual person right, then thoughts, words and deeds will be right, talk about right in the sight of God, so keep these things in mind because they form the basis of what we're going to do in the coming weeks, now let me just mention the faculties and the functions of the human spirit which we are going to discuss in detail, the five faculties of the human spirit, now you would have seen some of this in the Course on the Holy Spirit when we, in the book, Gifts of the Spirit because we talk a little bit about this, what we, and I'll just mention it here but we're going to get into the details of it in the coming, not the next chapter but the chapter later, so what we can understand from scripture is that the human spirit has faculties just like the human body, so when we look at the human body we say okay for any human person they've got to have these five faculties, they've got to be able to see, hear, feel, smell and taste and if any one of these faculties or we call them senses, if any one of these five senses are not working properly then it's not good, right, that particular sense or faculty has been impaired and you know they try to heal and help them recover but in general we say every human person has five senses and we can map these five senses to the human spirit in scripture, in scripture we see that the human spirit or the inner person has at least the ability, these five faculties. Now we need to develop these five faculties because these five faculties enable us to interact with the spiritual realm and the more sharp these five faculties are, I'm talking about in the spirit, the human spirit, the more we can engage with the spiritual realm, the faculties of our spirit, our human spirit and so as believers we need to develop these faculties which we will discuss. Similarly we can see in scripture the seven functions of the born-again human spirit. Now I specifically stayed born again because our focus is going to be on developing the functions of the human spirit in the context of being a believer and in our relationship with God, right, so these same functions can also be used in a wrong way meaning, and we will mention this a little later but in the wrong way sense in the sense that those who are you know who are engaging with the dark side, the demonic spirits practicing witchcraft and all that you know in some way they're going to use their spirit faculties and functions to do wrong things, yeah they're engaging with the dark side but our focus is on the born-again spirit. So what are the seven functions of the human spirit specifically the born-again human spirit, conscience, and we see all of this in scripture and we will develop this as in in coming chapters, conscience, and this is so important because the conscience at a very basic level tells you and me what's right what's wrong or is acceptable to God but is not acceptable to God. The sad thing is even believers can act against their conscience, so we're not talking about even the bible or the holy spirit, we're just talking about the conscience, of course you know the conscience is something God-given and it is built in if you want to use the word moral indicator what is right and wrong in every person but in the especially for the born-again believer we have to live in good conscience, good conscience, but even if the born-again believer, even if he doesn't know chapter and verse, maybe doesn't know how to listen to the holy spirit, if he will just live in good conscience he's going to be living right before God but even a born-again believer can violate his own his or her own conscience but what we will see later on is even if a born-again believer lives like that why just violating their own conscience they will destroy their own faith just that just just violating our own conscience we will destroy our faith in God and we will see it in scripture but sad to say you know when we look around we see that some of the actions even Christians do that you you wonder how could in good conscience could that person even do that example you hear about you know people I'm talking about believers maybe they rob money from the church or maybe they misuse money from you know the church or they just do things that are wrong and you wonder didn't they even have a conscience I mean forget about chapter and verse and forget about the leading of the holy spirit just basic thing what about their own conscience what happened to it well even though they were believers they were violating their own conscience and the result we could see they may have destroyed their faith have come close to that okay we'll talk about it in detail so conscience second thing second function of the human spirit is the ability to know to receive knowledge just like the human mind in the natural acquires knowledge and grows in knowledge the natural the human spirit receives knowledge spiritual revelation knowledge knowing knowing things of the spiritual realm and we will learn that the inspiration of the Almighty gives the human spirit understanding so there are times when you have knowledge which is not what you have received through information meaning information channels you have not receded through the five senses but it is coming from the inspiration of God but that's part of our spirit function knowing of course there is other ways by which we our spirit knows it is through the word of God but we must understand the inspiration process by which your human spirit receives knowledge outside of what is coming through the five natural senses that is through your reading of scripture and so on and please understand everything must be tested by scripture all right so even what is received through inspiration is subject to the written scriptures because the written scriptures is our standard right we will get into the details of all of each of these seven functions I'm just introducing it or mentioning it here number three third function which the human spirit is the born again human spirit is capable of worship and fellowship with God and this is very amazing you know it's very amazing how the human spirit can fellowship with God God is spirit you are spirit and the reason he created a spiritual body is our spirit can fellowship with him it's like you know if you want to put it in simple terms it's like be friends or have a relationship with him now a simple example and this might be a little crude but let's just think about it you know and to really have fellowship with a certain class of being you need to be in that example you know again this may be a crude example but you know I have to be a dog if I really want to understand the dog world as a human to some extent I can understand you know dogs and you know relate and talk and you know so on but I don't necessarily understand you know will not be able to understand everything about the dog world you have to be in that same class of being and it's not possible right we are humans the animals and they're a particular kind of animal so like that you have different kinds of animals and you know to really understand that kind of an animal you you know have to be in that class or that category now think about this for us to really understand God we have to be in that category we have to be spiritual beings and God created us as spiritual beings so that we could have that that ability to really fellowship with him so God is spirit and he created us as spiritual beings so that we can have the capacity to connect with him but we connect through our spirit faculties not our natural faculties our natural faculties help us meaning with their eyes we can see the great see God's creation we can you know feel the wind and the breeze and we can praise God for it or we can see the stars or we can study science or we can you know those natural things they help us of course but when it comes to spirit to spirit fellowship we use the five faculties of our spirit to fellowship with God because we are engaging in the actually use the word same realm or same category his spirit we have to fellowship with him in spirit and truth okay i hope i communicated that well we'll get into it here this human's functional human spirit is also a container it's a carrier of the grace the power the glory of God and and we see that described to us in scripture the those scriptures use the word vessels and and you know we are place where there's the resident there's the dwelling place of God we contain the glory and the power of God and out of that we give the human spirit also has identity you know we've talked a lot about that in our first year it's it's it's who you are and knowing who you are the spirit is also capable of action of doing things of you know just like the human body can do things the human spirit takes action in the realm of the spirit so imagine in the realm of the spirit you're getting things done when you when you and i know how the spirit can do things in the realm of the spirit that it's believing serving interceding fighting you know in the realm of the spirit you're getting things done just like in the natural and then another function is to keep growing into grace like this so we'll develop it we'll talk about these seven functions of the human spirit let me just go into just one more thought then i'll keep time for discussion so the born again human spirit needs to be nurtured let's just quickly can somebody read Hebrews 5 12 to 14 please and we will look at it we will be coming back to it later but Hebrews 5 12 to 14 somebody read that please Hebrews chapter 5 verse 12 to 14 says for thou for though by this time you ought to be teachers you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God and you have come to need milk and not solid food for everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness for he is a being but solid food belongs to those who are of full age that is those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil amen amen thank you so look at two contrasting terms he uses verse 13 and 14 he talks about spiritually being babies and verse 14 he talks about being of full age or mature or grown-up adults so now he's writing to believers yeah Hebrews he's writing to those who are saved but he's saying look you are like babies when you should have been grown up and therefore their diet is affected you only need milk and i can't give you uh you know solid food or food that grown-ups eat of course the context here is spiritual he's talking about spiritually in your human spirit in your born again human spirit he's telling these people you're like babies you haven't grown up to be adults grown-up people and therefore you have to eat spiritual baby food instead of being eating spiritual adult food grown-up food and then he also tells us the difference he says see here's one very important characteristic of a grown-up person a grown-up person is able to discern good and evil whereas a baby doesn't know that a baby needs to be told this is right this is wrong you know or don't put your hand in the fire you know don't do this don't do that don't put your hand in the socket be careful don't go here don't go there an adult discerns has the ability to know good and evil and there's a process by which that can happen he outlines that for us which we will look into a little later okay so what did we cover today we said that you know the human spirit that's the real you and the human spirit has personality meaning the traits that you develop in the spirit and what you develop in the spirit is going to come out as thoughts words and actions which people are going to see and then be outlined we didn't get into the details but we just outlined the five faculties of the human spirit the seven functions of the human spirit which we are going to get into detail later on and what we are saying is there is spiritual growth that has to happen we have to go from being babies to being people of full age but this means this involves the development of the faculties and the functions five faculties seven functions we develop them develop them nurture them then we move from being babies to being adults and what we have outlined what the right of Hebrew says is the adults one important characteristic is they can discern good and evil okay i actually wanted to do the next one okay we have only six minutes so i will it takes some questions and we guess we'll have to do this next week okay all right yes um let's try to do the question answers quickly um i see bet has a comment i think i would have thought the personality my human spirit can be corrupted by evil tragic circumstances isn't that what mental problems are corruption or sickness of the human spirit if our spirit can grow in a positive way put on the gears it can grow in a negative way yes so the answer uh if if i have understood what bet is saying correctly um i think what bet is saying yes that the human spirit can be corrupted or be affected which is true because we will see later and i've kept a separate chapter on the effect of the human spirit on the soul and the body for instance we see in the book of probes we read about things like a broken spirit a wounded spirit that means uh and this is something we have to guard ourselves and i will share it in that chapter we have to protect our human spirit because sometimes that the experiences of life can wound our spirit i just a simple example is bitterness right if somebody deals very badly with me yes it affects me emotionally but it will be really bad if i let it affect my human spirit that means my very core gets affected and i'm tainted with bitterness then i would be bitter with people bitter with this bitter with that and it'll come out you know people think of me as a bitter person so i think if i understand what bet is saying if i understand it correctly i think my answer to that would be yes you know that the human spirit can be affected in a negative way okay i hope i understood your comment correctly but forgive me if i didn't um divya in look 951 of 56 was jesus excised in the gift of dissonance spirit is it right to say that was he discerning the gift of the uh uh was he the gift of spirit in answer to that now divya is yes because he was seeing into their spirit so he wasn't just being moved by what they said but he was looking at what was really in their heart so the answer to that question from divya is yes next one again from divya what are the spirit gifts of the spirit in what are the gifts of spirit impacting are they empowering the faculties are the functions of the born again human spirit so the gifts of the spirit are coming through the faculties of the born again human spirit and they're actually releasing a work of god they're a manifestation of god so um to answer your question they come through the faculties and they are an expression of the presence of the holy spirit usually it's to get a job done right so that's what the gifts of the spirit are whether to you know in this case discern or to heal to work a miracle to express god in some way okay okay pastor i just had a question so uh they they don't have a role in developing the human spirit right the gifts um usually i would say like you know the gifts the spirit are given primarily to help minister to people but in the process of course we all we're going to keep learning you know that means my knowing is going to keep increasing every time you know you express a gift for spirit you're learning something about the holy spirit you're learning something about god even if that gift is to you know help somebody else uh your human spirit is also learning so yes it will even though the primary function is to minister to somebody to manifest the presence of the holy spirit we will end up learning in the process and um when you're praying in tongues it's a big learning as well okay all right we have about two minutes let's take man's question please thank you sir um my question is similar to to uh birth comment uh early on when when when when you you're speaking about okay that's a question so can we say if i understood correctly that's the fruit of the holy spirit is is it they are they are original originally uh our original design that gods has given us and when we we are born again we are when we are sanctified they get revealed or they we when when holy spirit is working in us then our true nature our true person our spirit being start manifesting freely and then we we exhibit the the traits of being kind being uh being good the answer is yes right so imagine okay so this is the real person my human spirit the holy spirit comes and works on me and he's developing you know the the fruit of the spirit love joy peace so my human spirit was designed for that of course you know until i got saved things could have been going wrong but then i'm born again and so now the human spirit has been given the life in the nature of god it has the you know the ability enough to grow into the image of god to grow into the nature of god then the holy spirit also comes and dwells here and then he's developing you know love joy peace all those things and through my human spirit that is being expressed right so when it says it is a fruit of the spirit it is not just that the holy spirit is independent of me or you know the holy spirit is nurturing these in your spirit and that is being expressed right remember he said i'm the one you are the branches the branches bear fruit so you can imagine the human spirit like the branch the holy spirit is working in us and then the branch bears fruit so the answer your question is yes these are virtues or character traits that are developed in your human spirit which are then expressed through the outer person the soul and the body thank you sir okay all right last one is christopher's so christopher's wants the explanation matthew 15 17 to 18 do you not yet understand what enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated so i was 17 just talking about the food we eat right so the food we eat that just goes through the natural process it's eliminated so it really doesn't defile the man it doesn't affect your spirit you know the food but he says was 18 but if you look for the words a person speaks that comes out of the heart of the person and those words also affect the person is what jesus saying matthew 15 18 okay the words we speak they come out of the heart and they also impact the heart right okay um i think we'll have to pause here um we will continue this next week uh talking more about this but think about these things okay let's
