THE NEW RECREATED HEART

The Conscience, the Fellowship and the Intuition are the three parts of the SPIRIT.

The Mind, the Emotion, and the Will are the three parts of the SOUL.

The BODY is perhaps the easiest part about our existence to comprehend.

It means: see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.

EZEKIEL 36:25 NKJV

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean;

I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.

EZEKIEL 36:26 KJV

A NEW HEART also will I give you,

• and a NEW SPIRIT will I put WITHIN you:

• and I will TAKE AWAY the STONY HEART out of your flesh,

• and I will GIVE you an HEART of FLESH.

That is what the Lord says.

THE HEART

Since 1 Thessalonians 5:23 speaks definitely that we are

• a TRIPARTITE being composed of the SPIRIT, the SOUL, and the BODY,

• the HEART could NOT be a separate part in addition to the spirit and the soul.

The heart is a composition of the FIRST PART of the SPIRIT and ALL THREE PARTS of the SOUL.

It includes the CONSCIENCE, the first part of our spirit.

3 part of the soul - mind emotion and will

heart knows what is right and wrong according to God's definition

HEBREW 10:22 TPT

we come closer to God and approach him with an OPEN HEART, fully convinced that nothing will keep us at a distance from him.

For our HEARTS have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity, and we have been FREED from an ACCUSING CONSCIENCE.

Now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out!

Thus, it condemns as does the conscience.

1 JOHN 3:20 TPT

Whenever our hearts make us feel guilty and remind us of our failures, we know that God is much greater and more merciful than our conscience, and he knows everything there is to know about us.

The HEART also includes the mind, the will, and the emotion, which are the three parts of our soul.

MATTHEW 9:4 NKJV

But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you THINK evil in your HEARTS?

Thus, the HEART THINKS and has THOUGHTS.

GENESIS 6:5 NKJV

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every INTENT of the THOUGHTS of his HEART was only evil continually.

HEBREW 4:12 NKJV

For the WORD of GOD is LIVING and POWERFUL, and SHARPER than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of SOUL and SPIRIT,

and of joints and marrow,

and is a DISCERNER of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the HEART.

HEBREW 4:12 TPT

For we have the LIVING WORD of GOD, which is full of energy, like a two-mouthed sword.

It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet!

It INTERPRETS and REVEALS the TRUE THOUGHTS and SECRET MOTIVES of our HEARTS.

Are you still fighting whose will?

God's will or my will?

Who want to have beautiful heart?

Develop this part, this 4 parts of the heart

Conscious (spirit) and 3 parts of soul (mind, emotion and will)

It rejoices -

JOHN 16:22

• has sorrow - John 16:6;

• it purposes - Acts 11:23

• has intents - Heb. 4:12

-

ACTS 11:23 NKJV

When he (Barnabas) came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with PURPOSE of HEART they should continue with the Lord.

Hence, the Scripture shows us clearly that our HEART is composed of

• the CONSCIENCE,

• the MIND,

• the EMOTION, and

• the WILL.

It is equal to a part of our spirit and the whole of our soul.

Since the heart is thus composed of parts of our spirit and soul, it is very closely related to both.

THE PURPOSES OF THE PARTS OF MAN

The purpose of our body is our human existence.

It is by our body that we may exist and live physically and practically for the Lord.

Our body is for the Lord, and the Lord is for our body

(1 Cor. 6:13).

The Lord prepares us a body (Heb. 10:5) that we may exist and live for Him.

Thus, we must offer our body to the Lord (Rom. 12:1) and glorify Him in our body (1 Cor. 6:20).

1 Corinthians 6:19-20:

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?

You are not your own; you were bought at a price.

Therefore, honor God with your bodies.”

In simple terms—our bodies were made to carry us through this world. Each of us have a birthdate and an expiration date when we will leave these worn and weathered bodies for God’s Kingdom, should we choose to believe in Him!

The PURPOSE of our HEART in God’s intention is that it

may LOVE HIM. 

MARK 12:30 NKJV

And you shall LOVE the LORD YOUR GOD with ALL your HEART, with all your SOUL, with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH.’

This is the first commandment.

Our heart is a loving organ, prepared by God for us to LOVE HIM.

The PURPOSE of our SPIRIT is

• to contact the Lord (John 4:24),

• to receive Him (1 Cor. 6:17), and

• to contain Him.

2 TIMOTHY 4:22 TPT

The Lord is within your spirit and his grace overflows to you!

Love in Christ, Paul

Our heart is the loving organ, whereas our spirit is the contacting, receiving, and containing organ.

The Lord whom our HEART LOVES

• is contacted, received, and contained by our SPIRIT.

The PURPOSE of our SOUL is to reflect and express the Lord. 

2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 TPT

We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces.

And with no veil we all become like MIRRORS who brightly REFLECT the glory of the Lord Jesus.

We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another.

And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Our soul, that is our person or our personality, must be the very organ, as a MIRROR, to REFLECT and EXPRESS the LORD.

Thus,

• we LOVE the Lord with our HEART;

• we CONTACT, RECEIVE, and CONTAIN Him with our SPIRIT;

• and we REFLECT and EXPRESS HIM with our soul in all that we think, like, and decide—

in ALL that we ARE and ALL that we DO.

(The Parts of Man, Chapter 1, by Witness Lee)

1 KINGS 3:9 KJV

Give therefore THY SERVANT an understanding HEART (H3820) to judge thy people,

• that I may DISCERN (distinguish) between GOOD and Bad

(right and wrong) :

• for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
