THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL

YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH'S (JESUS CHRIST'S) MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. FIRST SENT OUT IN 2006

EXCERPT 25


Whereas the SOUL MUST BE CONVERTED, the SPIRIT (not the breath) MUST BE “BORN AGAIN”!!

It is your spirit that is “born again” through the power of the Ruach Ha Kodesh! This re-birth is important, because it is through the spirit that We, the Godhead, communicate with mankind. That was the reason I told Nicodemus:

[Yahweh] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4: 24

These two parts of the being, THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL, are inseparable and are sometimes referred to as: “the spirit”, or “the soul”. They are the true person whom you are, and the part of your being, which never dies (John 11: 25, 26).
However, at the death of your body, they must leave this world because without the body, they do not have any legal right in this world. At the time of death, they will come to Heaven, where I dwell, for those who have accepted Me, Yahushua as their Saviour; or they go to Satan’s Hell and torment (Luke 16: 19-31; 2 Corinthians 5: 1-9).

As soon as you are “born again”, We the Godhead: Yahweh, the Father, Yahushua, the Saviour, and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, will be given the permission We need to come and dwell with you. (We give you the freedom of choice and do not force Ourselves into your lives.) The Ruach Ha Kodesh then has access to be your Helper, Comforter, Teacher, Leader, Guide and much more (John 14:16,17,23). From that time of your re-birth and onwards, He is able to teach you about Me, Yahushua, guide you into all truths, and show you things that are to come (John 16:13). You will then be filled with His spirit and will manifest His fruit in your lives. He will also give you His gifts, whereby He will enable you to operate in the gifts He has given to you (Galatians 5: 22, 23; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11).

Your SOUL must be CONVERTED, and your SPIRIT must be “BORN AGAIN”! These two changes MUST take place in your lives for you to be My children, and to become heirs of the kingdom in Heaven, My dwelling place, as well as the new earth. As soon as these two changes of Conversion and Re-birth occur in your lives, there will be a transformation, and you will become a new creature all together. Concerning this new creation it is written in My Word:


Therefore if any man be in [Ha Mashiach] Christ, “he is a new creature”: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17.

I will also be in you, manifesting My glory in your lives, so that you will live a radiant, happy and peaceful inward life; although everything around you may be caving in, and the trials and troubles of life are overwhelming. This assurance is given in Colossians 1: 27, 28:

To whom [Yahweh] God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; “which is [Ha Mashiach] Christ in you, the hope of glory” . . . teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in [Yahushua Ha Mashiach] Christ Jesus.

In addition, I will not only be your Saviour, I will become your Brother and Friend, as you are told in Romans 8:29:

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate “to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren”.

And:

. . . but “I have called you friends”; for all things that I have heard of my Father [Yahweh] I have made known unto you. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. John 15: 14.

The commands given in My Word, the Holy Scriptures, are for your well-being. In addition, it is important that you pattern your lives after My own pure life, and live holy lives, as you are admonished in the following Scripture verses:

• “be ye holy: for I am [YAHWEH, your Elohim] the LORD your God”. Leviticus 20: 7.

• But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation: Because it is written, “Be ye holy; for I [Yahushua] am holy”. 1 Peter 1:15, 16.

It is very important therefore, that you live a life that is patterned after My own life. This you can do with the help of the Ruach Ha Kodesh, so that you will not return to your old way of life! Thus you will be able to do all things through Me, Yahushua, Who strengthens you (Philippians 4:12).

I DIED TO SAVE THE SOULS OF THE HUMAN RACE!!

It was for the SAVING OF THE SOULS of the human race (spirit and soul), why I, Yahushua Ha Mashiach, gave up My throne in Heaven, My dwelling place, and came to earth. Here upon earth, I lived, ministered, suffered and died for the entire human race. In love, I took the suffering and death each sinner deserves in exchange for My own sinless life. Thus I PAID THE PRICE FOR THE SALVATION OF EVERYONE, whereby each person is given the same opportunity to be saved in My eternal kingdom of Love, peace, joy and righteousness.

The choice is given to everyone to choose whom they will worship and serve. In this world there are millions of counterfeit gods, each one vying for the souls of men, including your own very soul! Therefore, it is important that while you are still alive and in your right mind, and while you have the legal right to be upon the earth, that you MAKE an intelligent DECISION WHOM YOU WILL SERVE!! Your body is your special gift, enabling you to be in this world. Once it dies, your fate is eternally sealed and cannot be reversed (except for those whom I have sent back from the dead in recent years, to inform the world that there is life, real life, after death, and that I, Yahushua, am coming Soon). That is the reason you are told:

• (. . . behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 2 Corinthians 6:2.

• While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:15.

• Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Ecclesiastes 9:10.

As soon as the soul is converted, and re-birth of the spirit takes place, you will be set free from the shackles of Satan; who up until then had been your master. Likewise, you will not have the desire to sin, because of the new heart and the new spirit, which will be in you. Your “stony hearts”, hardened by sin, will be replaced by a “heart of flesh”. Thus your entire spirit man will be under the control of the Ruach Ha Kodesh. He will set you FREE from your sin and from the shackles of Satan. He will also fill your hearts with His spirit of love, joy and peace. Concerning the liberty which the Ruach Ha Kodesh gives, it is recorded in Romans 3:17, 18:

Now the [Ruach Ha Kodesh] Lord is that Spirit: “and where the Spirit of the Lord [Yahweh] is, there is liberty”. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of [Yahushua] the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of [Yahweh] the Lord.

Day by day, therefore, the Ruach Ha Kodesh will be with you, and He will cause you to grow in My grace and in the knowledge of Yahweh, My Father. Thus you have the assurance:

• But “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our [Adonai, Yahushua Ha Mashiach] Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ”. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18.

• 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, “to be strengthened with might by his [the Ruach Ha Kodesh] Spirit in the inner man; 17That [Ha Mashiach] Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith”; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the love of [Ha Mashiach] Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of [Yahweh] God. Ephesians 3:16-19.

MAKE AN OPEN CONFESSION!!

Once you have accepted Me, Yahushua, and given your lives to Me; it is important that you make an open confession before others and the world, that I am your Adonai (Lord). Thus in Romans 10: 9, 10, you are told:

• That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth [Adonai, Yahushua] the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that [Yahweh] God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9, 10.

• And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb [Yahushua], and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11.

Once you have accepted Me, Yahushua, as your Saviour, it is imperative that you confess and forsake your sins!! This means you must own up to the wrongs you have done, and do not return to, or continue in the sins or wrong doings of your past. Concerning this, the Scriptures say:

• He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy… Proverbs 28:13.

• If we confess our sins, he [Yahushua] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9.

I, Yahushua, am the Lamb of Yahweh, Who died for the sins of the world! Thus John the Baptist says in John 1:29:

The next day John seeth [Yahushua] Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of [Yahweh] God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

In this world, Satan wages war against My children, and the only means whereby they can overcome him, is through My blood, which was shed for them on the Cross of Calvary. They also overcome him through their “Testimonies”, whereby they renounce Satan as their master; and then confess before the world that I, Yahushua, am their Saviour from sin. Hence the importance of the following Scripture Passages on making an open confession before the world:

• That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth [Adonai, Yahushua] the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that [Yahweh] God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9, 10.

• And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb [Yahushua], and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11.

For all those who will make this CONFESSION in Romans 10:9, 10 with your own mouths, I, Yahushua, will come into your hearts and be your Saviour. Yahweh, the Father, and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, will also come into your hearts. We will then make Our abode with you (John 14: 16, 17, 23). Thereby, you will be enabled to live a holy life, patterned after My own holy life, which I lived while on earth.

EACH INDIVIDUAL MUST CHOOSE!!

SALVATION, although it is My FREE GIFT to the world, is NOT FORCED UPON ANYONE!! The INVITATION is extended to EVERYONE. However, EACH PERSON MUST MAKE A PERSONAL CHOICE AND CHOOSE TO ACCEPT, or REJECT IT, OF HIS OR HER OWN FREE WILL. It is NOT FORCED upon anyone AGAINST THEIR WILL!!

It is also important for each person to KNOW and UNDERSTAND that NO ONE CAN RECEIVE MY SAVING GRACE THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ANOTHER PERSON. This is a personal choice, which each person MUST make individually.

Therefore, even though a parent may be very devoted to Me, Yahushua, their righteousness will NOT save either their sons or their daughters, neither any other close relation, nor devoted friend. Thus the Scriptures say:

As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD [YAHWEH] even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness. Ezekiel 14: 20.

Therefore, as your loving Saviour, Yahushua Ha Mashiach, I admonish each of you, young and old alike, to turn to Me in righteousness and seek after Me, your Adonai (Lord) with all your hearts. Those who do will surely find Me, for I have said:

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart... Jeremiah 29: 12, 13.

Parents, who love and follow Me, Yahushua, please let your children know the importance of making their own personal commitment to Me. Therefore, as soon as they are old enough to understand, teach and help them to know and accept Me, Yahushua (Jesus) as their personal Saviour.

Likewise, to everyone on Planet Earth, I say the same thing. Each of you MUST make your own personal decision to ACCEPT or REJECT Me, Yahushua, because you cannot be saved by the righteousness of another, regardless of how close your relationship may be with each other. Neither will I accept the excuse that you did not know, nor that you were prevented from accepting Me as your Saviour, because of what others may have done to you.

THE INVITATION TO ACCEPT MY LOVE, SACRIFICE AND DEATH, AND TO HAVE ME, YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH, AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR FROM SIN, IS EXTENDED TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IN THIS WORLD.
