"Three Main Functions of the Human SPIRIT!"

When we are apprehended by God, our natural inclinations have nothing to do with how or what we are to preach (disciple those in and outside the faith). Your commitment to boldly engage and empower others in the gospel (in word and deed) are based upon the premise that you have not arrived..that you are a sinner saved by grace, not some special being made up in heaven.

So three main functions of the human spirit are as follows:
  1. Conscience: Your conscience is a "discerning organ"; it distinguishes right and wrong, not through knowledge or influences stored in the mind but by a spontaneous direct judgement. "Reasoning" judges/justifies "conscience".  The conscience is an independent agent; it is direct and does not bend to outside opinions. Wrong doing or "foul living" will raise the voice of conscience accusation. The function of conscience in man's spirit can be found in: (Duet 2:30; Ps 34:18; Ps 51:10; John 13:21; Acts 17:16; Rom 8:16; 2 Cor 2:13; 2 Tim 1:7)
  2. Intuition: is the "sensory organ" of the human spirit and is an independent agent of any outside influence. Intuition comes to us without any help of emotions, mind or volition. We only "know" through our intuition, our mind merely helps us to "understand." The revelations of God and the movements of the Holy Spirit are known to us by our intuition.  In order to function effectively in this realm, the believer must heed to these two elements: the "voice" of conscience and the "teaching" of intuition.
  3. Communion: is "worshipping" and "fellowship" with God. The organs of the soul, conscience and intuition are incompetent to worship God. God is not apprehended by our thoughts, feelings or emotions or intentions.  He can only be known directly in our spirits.  In other words, worship and communication with God can only be conducted in the spirit realm.
In conclusion, conscience judges according to intuition; conscience condemns all conduct which does not follow the directions given by intuition. Intuition is related to communion or worship in that God is known by man "intuitively" and reveals his will to man in the intuition.  No measure of expectation or deduction gives us the knowledge, heart or mind of God!
