Ephesians 2:18 - Willing To Learn

¹⁸ For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 

We are a tri-une being, body soul and spirit. Our bodies are the tangible flesh and blood, our soul is the part of us that makes up our personality, our emotions, intellect and our decision making process, our will. Then there is the part of us that is dormant or dead unless we are born again, our spirit. Our spirit when aligned with The Holy Spirit has access to God. Others who refuse to know God can have a spiritual experience but run the risk of being influenced by the spirit of, well...who knows what? You see it all comes down to influence. We all have our own free will, we decide for ourselves all manner of issues. Our spirit informs our will or stated another way influences our decisions. For example in the Bible it states that the evil one has come to kill steal and destroy. His minions are spirit and they influence people to accomplish his agenda, killing, stealing, destroying. So who do you think is influencing the mind of a person that is determined to commit suicide? Certainly not the Holy Spirit. The hallmark of the Holy Spirit is to reveal where we are "off" in our thinking and then will always reveal the way out of the situation. The enemy of our soul will condemn us and leave us there to seethe, wither and eventually become confused, all the while tempting us toward destruction. The Holy Spirit's agenda is abundant life, by way of humility, sacrifice, and others centeredness. His route to life will seem more difficult but in the end it is the right way for us and for those around us. He lives to guide us toward the mutual benefit of all.
