Servant Brian K. Woodson, Sr.
For the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has
made me free from the law of sin and death…
Romans 8:2
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; And I pray God your
whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless unto the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Thessalonians 5:23
Who We Are and Why the Laws Work!
Sermon 6
How many of the Ten Commandments can you name?
The scripture has it correct but most of us get it backwards…
We are concerned with our
Body… Soul… then Spirit.
Scriptural Definitions:
Your Body = your parts – aka Flesh Soul = conscious mind - thoughts Spirit = the essential you – the life
beneath the thoughts; How you feel and what makes you
feel when you feel.

Evil is the everyday disposition of a world intent on doing
things according to anything other than what God requires!
If you continue through life paying primary attention to your
Body – Your soul and Spirit will suffer and die.
If you continue through life paying primary attention to your
Soul – Your Spirit will be deceived and your body misused.
If you continue through life paying primary attention to your
Spirit – Your whole Body Soul and Spirit will thrive!
Your body, soul and spirit each have:
APPETITES – ASPIRATIONS –
APPARATUS
Appetite = is what is craved
Aspiration = the desired result
Apparatus = how it work
Your body, sol and Spirit each have their own; appetite, aspiration and apparatus
The Ten Commandments can be reduced to two:Love God, (1-4)
Love your neighbor (5-10)
The Ten Commandments are the instructions to those who want their Spirit to thrive – Their soul to be satisfied with good things and – Their body
to be strong and responsive all the days of their life.
