 Okay good morning and welcome everyone to the course BC 214 on developing the human spirit, I've been learning about the spirit man and how to develop or we're going to get into learning about the faculties and functions of the human spirit and how to develop those as we journey along. Let's pray together and we'll get started because somebody pray with us and then we will start please. Dear Lord we want to thank you for this time. We pray that you would speak to us this morning. Help us to understand the deep things of your Spirit Lord Jesus. What your word says, your Holy Spirit reveals the deep things are the Father to us, our God and we pray Lord Jesus that you would open our eyes of understanding and we would be able to understand your things of the Spirit well Lord God. Help all of us to stay focused and to apply this in our practical eyes Lord. We thank you Lord in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Again welcome everyone to our class on developing the human spirit. Last week we were talking about the interactions of the human spirit with the spiritual realm and we were just talking about how the our human spirit can connect and experience spiritual things. So we in the previous weeks we spoke about the fact that God works in the case of the believer. He works in and through our born-again human spirit. So that's the place God is spirit. So the place of primary contact with us is in our spirit and so God gives us revelation. He like enlightens us. He speaks to us in our spirit. We saw different things the Holy Spirit does. He bears witness with our spirit. He gives revelation to our spirit. The fruit of the spirit is born in our spirit. God works through our spirit, our human spirit. We looked at a little bit of discussion we had here on you know did God really harden Pharaoh's heart or was it something he did himself and so we you know we put the you know the baby explain it is that Pharaoh was responsible for the condition of his own heart but it was God to let him go that way. You know he made the choice. Okay God let him go that way and so when the scripture attributes about God doing it really is God letting Pharaoh go in the direction he chose to go and so then we started talking about spiritual experiences. So what I what I want to do in this section is just to awaken us to the fact that our spirit can experience things in the spiritual realm. So our spirit can it's like we are living in two worlds. Just as think about our life in the natural world right in the natural world we can feel things you know there's a cold wind blowing or you can feel it. The sun is too hot you feel it. Things in the natural world because we are in this physical body we're able to see all of these things but very interestingly while we are in this physical body and we can engage with the natural realm our spirit gives us the ability to engage or interact with the spiritual realm. So there are things in the spirit that we can also experience and we also understand that God who is spirit he also manifests himself in the natural realm. You know so that's what we kind of looked at last week when in God's interaction with Moses. While Moses was engaging with God God who spirit was manifesting himself in the natural world through various ways and especially in the pillar of fire, the pillar of cloud. It doesn't mean the fire was God the cloud was God it was God using those natural things to make his presence visible. So when they saw the cloud they recognized that's God's presence. Yeah it doesn't mean the cloud is God but that's the presence of God expressed in our world. Similarly when they saw the fire they recognized that was God coming there. And so we can see many examples of the interaction that God had with people and I'm just pointing to a few. The Bible is full of it when you go from Genesis to Revelation. For example in Isaiah chapter 6 we read about Isaiah having a vision of God. You know so he's here in the natural world. He's in a physical body but he is able to see God is enabling him to see into the unseen the spiritual world and he is seeing all the way into the throne room. You know now it would not be possible with than our natural eyes. So obviously it is not his physical eyes that is seeing this but in the eyes of the spirit God has so opened him his eyes giving him vision that he's able to see you know in heaven see into heaven see the throne room see the glory of God and see the the the the the the angelic beings the cherubim's worshiping and seeing the robe of God you know just filling the temple. Right so what's happening the eyes of his spirit have been opened there is no distance there's no in our physical eyes there is a limit of how far we can see but in our spiritual eyes that limitation is no longer there the spirit is seeing into the spirit world and he's actually seeing into the throne room God is letting him see it God is giving him a vision. Similarly Ezekiel is having spiritual experiences and he had numerous experiences just mentioned a few. Ezekiel 3 he's having a vision where God is telling him to eat a scroll and he eats the scroll and it's like honey. So this is not a physical eating he's not physically eating chewing on a scroll but it's like spiritual eating like his spirit is receiving the scroll and and and and it's engaging with it and then it's basically the prophecies that God wants to wanted him to prophesy. So he's having a spiritual experience and and you know and and that is leading him to then release the word of the Lord. Several examples that Ezekiel had I've been mentioned a few Ezekiel chapter 3 is hearing a great thunderous voice so that means in the spirit we can hear the voice of God. He is feeling certain things bitterness. He's agitated about something the heat of my spirit so that means he's feeling something in his spirit because God's hand is upon him. You know so our spirit can hear in the spirit. Our spirit can feel things in the spirit. So he's feeling bitterness he's feeling heat meaning you know and I understand these are old English words but then there's something that is stirring him moving him in the spirit. In Ezekiel 8 he's got a different experience. He's feeling he's feeling that somebody is lifting him up by his hair as somebody you know is pulling his hair and lifting him up. Obviously this is not in the natural but this is his feeling in the spirit that being lifted up and the spirit lifted me up between heaven and earth. So he's feeling like oh I'm being transported and then in visions he is coming to Jerusalem. He's actually going to another city. That means God is letting him see all the way into Jerusalem all the way into you know the inner court and see what is happening there in the temple. So what are we saying? There are so many different kinds of experiences our spirit can have. Our spirit can hear the thunderous voice, our spirit can feel, our spirit can feel as it's being lifted up. Our spirit can actually see way into you know another place like he's seeing way into Jerusalem. In Ezekiel 11 once he feels the spirit lifted me up and brought me. That means he's feeling like oh I'm going there. I'm going into another place into Jerusalem and seeing what's happening. He's seeing these men there. He's seeing these people do certain things there. Similarly once again in Ezekiel 43 he's having another experience where the Holy Spirit is bringing him into the inner court and he's seeing the glory of God fill the temple. Okay so I'm just putting this out there for us to see that our spirit can interact in the spiritual realm. We can have these kinds of experiences where God can let us see into heaven. God can let us see even into this what's happening into this world in other places. God can help us hear the voice thunderous voice of God. God can help us feel in our spirit certain feelings, certain sensations. So these are all things that can happen to our spirit. And so we must be awakened to these things or be open now to these things. Just pointing us to some other examples in scripture. Daniel when he had these visions and dreams he was grieved in his spirit and in a spirit was troubled because of at that point his inability to understand the visions and dreams that God had given him. So the soul in the body was affected by the spiritual reality of what was happening. So I didn't finish the sentence here by spiritual reality. So in Daniel 10 an angel came and touched Daniel. Daniel felt so weak. The angel came and touched Daniels and he strengthened and then Daniel was able to stand up on his feet. He felt strengthened. So the spiritual is touching the physical you know the angel is touching him and giving him strength physical strength so that also can happen. Other examples Paul Paul the apostle he was caught up into the third heavens. Now his spirit was taken there and he heard things that were you know he said I can't even express it. John the beloved the whole book of Revelation. John is caught up into the into the heaven and in heaven he's shown all these you know he's seeing these visions of things that are yet to come you know and so John gets all this revelation. He hears and he sees things while in the spirit he is actually in heaven. So that's again a different kind of experience. So these are all good experiences that we see that we as believers can have and we must therefore be open to. I'm not saying we are running after these things or we are you know we're always asking God to give us these experiences. I'm just saying that these are things we must be open to. Our human spirit can interact with God who is spirit. On the other side we we must also mention in passing that demonic powers can affect the human spirit. That means I may not talk about ourselves but we're talking about other people who are not born again. They can be influenced. Their human spirit can be influenced by demonic powers. So demonic powers can influence them. They can possess them, empower them, give them special powers, give them special abilities and that's how we know that you know some people can tell fortune. They can they can you know even tell you about the past and say this this has happened in your life. Well how do they know it? Because some evil spirit is revealing that to them. You know so we are aware of it and we shouldn't be surprised. So the end point I mean the main point is this as human beings and we are especially telling about us as born again people as believers we can connect to the spiritual and the natural world. So our physical bodies connecting to the natural world our spirit can experience things in the spiritual realm. And so we want to be open to these things. Now we are going to extend this a little further as we get into the next lesson where we want to understand the faculties of the human spirit and then we want to understand the functions of the human spirit. So first we're going to talk about the faculties. Faculties means this is what the human spirit is able to do and we talk about the functions is what the human spirit actually does for us. These are the functions how it operates inside us. Now the faculties means these are capabilities of the human spirit. Now this is something we repeat in you know when we talk about the gift of the Holy Spirit or the prophetic. So you may see some of these things repeated in other courses as well but it's good to repeat it and also to look at it from different angles. What we must understand is that our human spirit the heart or the spirit has at least five spirit senses. So when God is telling his people he says you know I've given you a heart to perceive eyes to see ears to hear. So he's talking about the heart. He says no okay God has given you a heart yet he's saying you know your heart is not able to see your ears are not able to hear. So technically this is what God would have wished that would have happened for these people but the people were so blinded and so stubborn it didn't happen to them. But we're looking at it from a positive side it means God originally had given them a heart so that they could perceive they could see they could hear but unfortunately because of their stubbornness even the God was doing such amazing things these people his people Israel were unable to see unable to hear okay. So we're not looking at we're not pointing fault with them but we're just saying look this is what God intended for them or in another place in asia 6 again he says you know the heart of these people is dull the ears are heavy the eyes cannot see right so he's talking about the heart the heart has faculties the ears of the heart the eyes of the heart in that case again they were not able to hear or they were not able to see okay so that it's it's the condition of the heart that prevented them from hearing and seeing at that time in this particular case but the point i want to get across to us is that the heart or spirit has these abilities it has the ability to hear just like the natural you're able to hear it has the ability to see just like in the natural we have the ability to see right so we can draw a parallel between our spirit the faculties of our spirit and the faculties of the body the body has these five faculties can feel see hear taste and smell that information goes into the soul the mind the will the emotions where we reason we analyze and then we decide on what action to take so also our spirit our human spirit has at least five faculties that means your spirit has eyes it can see your spirit has ears it can hear your spirit can feel your human spirit can also taste and smell in the spirit right we saw example where you know when Ezekiel ate the scroll he it was taste he tasted like honey John ate the scroll it tastes like honey initially you can smell in the spirit that is the we are the aroma of Christ there is our prayers rise up like incense so obviously there is some good smell in the spirit right so in the spirit we can feel see hear taste and smell that these are the faculties of the spirit and the Holy Spirit interacts with us through these faculties right he bears witness he communicates through these faculties so just as in the natural when we are talking to people we use hand movements we use actions we use pictures we use sound all kinds of things to communicate in the natural so also in the spiritual the Holy Spirit will use pictures he will use feelings he will use sound or he will use words to communicate to us in the spirit right so we need to recognize this that your spirit or our human spirit has these faculties and we can show them from scripture right so there are five parallel faculties and our goal is to learn how to exercise or use these faculties how to develop each of these five faculties okay let me pause at this moment to see if there are any questions here are you all with me so far yeah everyone's with me any questions okay so what we have said is very simple our human spirit has at least five faculties like the physical body it's a parallel right so just as we train our physical side you know faculties to see and recognize things we must train our spirit faculties right so example in the natural you know when you look at a little baby when you're teaching the child you know they show a picture of a tree say tree dog cat so the child is being trained to recognize oh that is a dog that is a cat and the child has the faculty to see so the child is seeing it sees a dog or sees a cat or sees a tree or an apple or an orange it sees it but initially it may not recognize it unless you know until parents are teaching okay hey that's a dog that's a cat so the child begins to recognize or dog cat so it's going through a learning process now think about that in the spiritual we said that God communicates to us in the spirit so God is communicating to us in the spirit but we initially initially we may not recognize what is God saying I can feel God's presence I can feel like he's saying something but I'm not able to I'm not yet I'm not yet trained to recognize what is God telling me right what does this presence mean or feeling his presence or or sometimes you know there may be a picture coming God is showing us something and we may not even recognize it or even if we recognize it we may not be able to know you know we're not able to understand how to interpret what is God saying what does that picture mean or sometimes we overlook words God is speaking to us in the spirit you know the message is actually coming to us it comes to us and we think like how maybe I just remembered something or maybe it's not really God maybe it's just my imagination and we actually ignore it you know because our spirit has not been trained to see to hear to feel and a big problem for us is we have not been able to discern spirit and soul so we think oh it's my soul at work it's just my mind my own imagination at work but actually it's God giving something in our spirit He's saying I want you to see this I want you to hear this and I want you to feel it but we are not discerning between soul and spirit spirit and soul we are not understood the difference and so we don't even pick it up you know we just leave it we ignore it and we are missing out on what the Holy Spirit is bearing witness or telling or communicating to our spirit so just like in the natural as the little child is actually trained to see feel you know so the child example again I'm just giving this simple example to see that there's a paddle right so the child child suppose there's a hot thing you know a hot dish kept on the table the mother will say don't touch it it's hot right so by default the child doesn't know oh it was hot what's cold but then what happens maybe it touches it first time oh oh this is hot okay understood what is hot you know what I must not touch so the the sense of feeling is being trained this is hot this is cold I must recognize this is you know the feeling you know so similarly in the spirit the Holy Spirit is giving us a feeling we saw Ezekiel he said I felt heat I felt bitterness in my spirit I felt like being lifted up you know so all those feelings he experienced in the spirit so we experience things in the spirit the Holy Spirit is communicating telling us something but we may not pick it up in the beginning we don't understand okay this is the spirit of God giving me this feeling he's telling me something what I should do what I should not do he's correcting me what you know and we may not pick it up but as we are trained as we learn okay this is from the Holy Spirit this is my own soul my own feeling okay I leave this feeling aside I will pick this up from the spirit then we are able to discern able to understand and we are able to you know interact meaningfully with the Holy Spirit ministering or speaking to us in the in our own spirit okay so that should be our objective to develop our spirit develop our spirit to develop the faculties each faculty seeing hearing feeling and there's more and more you know that we develop our faculties so for example even revelation comes to us through our spirit faculties so when you're reading the bible example you're reading the bible of course you're doing your natural study meaning you're reading the scripture you might be looking up the Hebrew the Greek you might be looking up the meaning you might be doing your you know whatever you do in the in the natural with your mind but while you're reading the scripture the Holy Spirit is speaking to you in the spirit through the faculty maybe or what is here through your faculty of feeling sometimes through your faculty of seeing okay so as we are reading the scriptures we're using our physical eyes we're using our natural mind to you know understand what we are reading but at the same time the Holy Spirit is ministering to us in our spirit right in your spirit through the faculties of your spirit the Holy Spirit is communicating he's giving you revelation he's giving you illumination so you must learn to listen to that pick it up and then we will understand the scriptures better right we will okay this is what God is saying sometimes it'll be very personal it is God speaking something to you personally in your life situation giving you some guidance giving you some instruction but you're putting that two together that means you're putting the natural what you're reading with what is coming through the faculties of your spirit so that is where the Holy Spirit is going to give you revelation if those faculties in our spirit are not awake then what's happening very sad we're only limited to our natural mind in the reading of God's word so that's very limited right because you're processing everything only with the natural mind and you're missing out on the inspiration revelation and teaching of the Holy Spirit coming to us through our spirit okay so that's one reason why we have to train our spirit train our spirit another reason why we have to train the faculties of our spirit is when we administering to other people right so when you're ministering to other people the Holy Spirit is going to use the faculties of your spirit to talk to you and communicate to you what should you tell that person know what word must you give what encouragement must you bring what encouragement must you bring how must you minister right so that's coming from the Holy Spirit through our spirit so the faculties of our human spirit must be alert must be sharpened must be awake so we can hear from the spirit of God and then minister to people as we are serving others so what i'm saying is both for our own personal identification and growth as we study the scriptures as well as you know as we're ministering to other people it's so important for us to have the faculties of our spirit awake you know what we see here feel touch and taste that should be a sorry taste and smell that's the faculties of our spirit should be sharp should be awake so we can hear and receive from the Holy Spirit any questions so far okay all right online anyone any questions okay so let's move to the next lesson in this lesson we just mentioned you know that there are these faculties and a goal is to develop each of these faculties right so we're going to start with seven and I just move through each of these five faculties quickly so seeing the faculty or the ability of our spirit to see right so we know we already looked at some scripture where Jesus talked about the oldest one speaks about it and Jesus repeated it he's talking about the hearts of the people right and he's talking about their years sorry the years cannot hear the eyes cannot see and some of the heart he's not talking about the natural right so it's so important for our years to be able to hear our eyes to be able to see now the eyes of the heart you're talking about obviously right so the eyes of our spirit must be able to see the years of our spirit must be able to hear and then what would happen is when when that happens then the heart can turn so that's how the heart turns the heart will draw closer to God they're going to experience the working of God so really our ability to see with our ability to hear is going to draw hearts to encounter God and experience what he wants for us so we're going to talk about eyes or seeing so what do we see see we see pictures and images right so in the physical you're seeing you're seeing pictures images it's like a lot of information is coming in right so even in the in the spiritual God helps us see the eyes of our spirit see so we saw we saw example Isaiah saw he saw all the way into heaven yeah that means a vision his spiritual eyes could see all the way to heaven Ezekiel the Holy Spirit helped him see but now he's seeing into something else he's seeing into Jerusalem he's seeing how the people are practicing idolatry he's seeing into the temple so God is enabling him to see now how is that happening it's like as to God is i'm just using the illustration i'm not saying God is actually doing it it's as if God is playing out of video movie video for him right it's as if he's watching as though it's just example it's as if he's watching a video this is what is happening so it means he's seeing these things happening the spirit is able to see and through these pictures or through you know what we are saying like a like a vision or a video of some of what God is enabling him to see these things seeing these pictures and the visuals that God is giving to him and through these visuals God is communicating information to him whether it's about God or this is how heaven is and this is the Lord and these are the angels around him and this is what they are crying out saying holy holy holy and this is how the throne room is with the robe of his office with his robe covering the temple so God is communicating something to Isaiah through what he sees okay so the most common experience for us is that we see pictures and images that God gives to us in the spirit there are things that coming up in the spirit and we are able to see these pictures okay we could have these in dreams so that's why you're while we are asleep we're able to see these things or through visions that means while you're awake so what you see when you're awake we call it visions what you see when you're asleep we call it dreams God can give pictures we can see even events and things happening sometimes we have a trance that means the natural faculties are suspended and then you see usually when you're seeing a vision or you're seeing pictures you're seeing events happening you're also conscious about the physical around you so your spirit is seeing your natural body is very much aware of all things around you so in a trance God suspends that so in a trance what happens your spirit is seeing things but and at that moment when God is showing you these things he suspends your awareness of the physical so that's the difference between a trance and what God shows us in a vision picture or in the other communication here okay and then we can see into the spirit realm that means what is going on in the spirit realm so that's another way of seeing here God is showing you pictures you're showing you're showing events and things happening but here your spirit is seeing into the spirit realm you're seeing what's going on you're seeing the current activity in the spirit realm example is Elisha and his servant in second king six they saw the heavenly armies and chariots all around them so that's they're seeing what is happening in the spirit realm okay and lastly is what like we saw in Ezekiel he is actually going in the spiritual realm through what he's seeing he's actually seeing something happening in another place and he's seeing something happening in Jerusalem now that can either God shows that to him in a vision or his spirit is actually traveling into Jerusalem either way it can happen right that he can see what's in Jerusalem while he is away or his spirit is actually traveling into that place and he's seeing so what are we learning now we're learning that it is possible for our spirit to see and there are different kinds of seeing what our spirit can see different kinds one we are saying there are dreams what we call as dreams or the bible calls as dreams which is when we are physically asleep so physically we are sleeping but our spirit is getting information through pictures so we call that a dream and it comes into our conscious mind you wake up and say oh I've had a dream okay what has happened God has given something some information through pictures that you can recall in the morning you wake up and when you're conscious it's in your mind you're able to recall it and in the mind you're saying I saw this this this I saw this thing happen I saw that thing happen it's all in pictures very rarely it'll be only a sentence a word it's all in pictures so we call that a dream what has happened while your body was sleeping basically your body was asleep God was communicating to your spirit he put some pictures he put some uh a sequence of pictures into your spirit and then it's come into your mind so when you wake up oh God has spoken but he's spoken through pictures and he spoke to you when you were asleep so that that's called a dream and God has communicated through visual through visuals what the eyes of your spirit see now the same thing can happen when you're awake and so that's called visions that means you're awake your body's very aware of what's happening around you you know you're very conscious of it but in your spirit you're seeing something God is showing you it could be a still picture or it could be a sequence of events things happening that's a vision right so it could be a picture it could be sequence of events now I'm just repeating what we did we covered trans means it's very similar to a vision the only difference is in trans your awareness of what's around you your surroundings are suspended at that moment temporarily God suspends it so that's a trans you can also see into the spiritual realm that means the spiritual eyes are open to see actual happenings in the spiritual realm but the angels their interactions and so on and you can also go across distance while you're seeing now that can happen in two ways it can happen either you're seeing a vision of something happening somewhere in other city or it can happen through transportation that means you're actually being translated and transported your body may be in one place but your spirit is actually going and seeing something else so they call it transportation or by location right so these are certain experiences that we can have is everybody with me so far any questions on this so far are you understanding this I have a small doubt please go ahead so the I think the last one which we mentioned one of the examples filled in Samaria is he transported to a different place or people in both locations can see him at the same time or is it different only one place people would see on so in acts eight Phillips example he was physically transported from one location from from Samaria I think into Caesarea so that was God the Holy Spirit physically transporting from point A to point B so we would call that as transportation and he was in one place at one time but the transportation took place by the Holy Spirit so that's in in that particular instance right he was physically taken from Samaria into Caesarea he's transported now that was physical transportation okay it's like us taking a flight and going from Bangalore to Mangalore but that is a natural thing but now the whole imagine it's of the flight the Holy Spirit moves you know moves you from point A to point B that's what happened to Philip the supernaturally transported what we're talking about is if my body was left in one city but in the spirit my spirit was taken by the Holy Spirit to another city so that example was in Ezekiel Ezekiel says I felt the Holy Spirit lift my spirit and in the spirit he took me to the temple in Jerusalem so his body was there in by the river Chebar wherever he was there in Babylon in the spirit his spirit is traveling so body there spirit is traveling to Jerusalem so that's translocation he's physically in one place spirit is traveling to another place he is in a spirit visiting now there are cases where people see the same person in two locations example and again we can't we we don't have a chapter and verse for this clearly so we just keep this in mind I'm not saying you know preach it and make a doctrine out of it but example Ezekiel was in you know in captivity so people see his body he's physically there where is he he's there he's sitting in his room there but the spirit has been taken to Jerusalem suppose I'm just saying suppose it's not recorded for us but suppose God enabled people in Jerusalem to see a visible expression of his spirit I'm only saying suppose because it's not actually recorded then at that time people would say hey Ezekiel is here in Jerusalem but the same moment people are saying Ezekiel is there in Babylon so let me see by location they're seeing him in two places at the same time right now some stories meaning stories meaning there's not biblical accounts but this is like you know testimonies people will tell hey this happened by location I was body was seen here but people in another city saw me then you would say yeah okay that's by location is how is it possible like we said we explained it but we can't really you know like always prove it from chapter and verse that it was always it's exactly the way I described it it's hard to prove it so I don't want to preach it like a doctrine or anything I'm just saying like we can imagine that this is how it would have happened yeah yeah thank you pastor pastor in Luke chapter four was 30 after the preaching in the synagogue and when people tried to stop Jesus and they we see one was 29 and 30 and rose up and trust him out of the city and they led him to the brow of the hill on which the city was built that they might throw him down over the cliff then passing through the midst of them he went his way would it be a supernatural phenomenon because the entire intention of the people was to pull Jesus off from the cliff and he we read that then passing through the midst of them wouldn't be something yeah so this I mean look for look for 28 to 30 is a supernatural happening where none of the people so you can imagine a big crowd of people and one man right one person Jesus a big crowd so even if there were 10 people but definitely there must have been more than 10 people maybe 100 people or something like that so many people trying to push one man off the cliff and they couldn't and it says he turned around he just walked through them and nobody touched him right so imagine I'm just saying for number sake there are 100 people they were not able to touch him so that is definitely a supernatural thing and that is the working of God's power at that moment where you know if you want to imagine these 100 people became powerless they may have wanted to lift their hands nobody could move their hands they may have wanted to open them out and shout maybe they couldn't speak you know so that moment the power of God you know just froze all of these people and then Jesus walked through supernatural event but it is different from you know like what we're talking about the translocation or moving in the spirit it's slightly different yes thank you also okay so what we've introduced today is our human spirit has five faculties we need to develop these faculties one of them is seeing seeing in the spirit and we need to develop this because we need to learn and train ourselves in the spirit we will talk about more more on this next week to be able to see because God gives us visions in the spirit you know he's not putting it in the front of our physical eyes our physical eyes are seeing this physical world but in the eyes of our spirit God is giving visions so we need eyes that can see the eyes of our heart and so we need to pray we need to train ourselves we need to by the word of God of course say God let the eyes of my spirit see more clearly and then there are different ways in which God is going to help us see okay so we'll pause here we will continue this next week talk about these five faculties and then we'll talk about the functions of the human spirit and how we can develop those areas okay let's close in prayer and we will dismiss please somebody could leave us in prayer and close Heavenly Father we come to you under the name of Jesus we thank you for the day we thank you for the beautiful class that we had God I give all my classmates and see your hands God we pray that our spiritual eyes will be open Lord to see the mysteries of the heaven to see the mysteries of your kingdom to see the amazing thing that you have got for us Jesus help us to train ourselves help us to spend more time in your presence in your word so that we can see the things that are beyond imagination and we thank you for your love towards us Jesus we thank you that you want us to have such a deep relationship with you that we can connect with you in our spirit what an amazing God you are you love your grace it's so amazing and we stand in all of it right now Lord as we read as we read our bible each and every day help us to see the things through the spiritual eyes Lord let our spiritual eyes be opened let our spiritual eyes see the things that you have got for us we love you we honor you and we give you all the praise in Jesus name I pray Amen thank you everyone thank you um enjoy the rest of the day we'll see you soon God bless
