4. Tripartite Human Soma Seer Hearer Taster Toucher Smeller Pneuma, Ruach Righter-Wronger, Communer, Knower Psyche Mind (Thinker) Emotion (Feeler) Will (Willer) May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Thes 5:23

5. GOD Inward out movement Feelings and Will aligns with Truth Identity Worth Bearers of God’s image Worship made simple Human spirit communes with God and gets download of identity and worth. Mind gets truth, wisdom from God in alignment with spirit. Emotion aligns with spirit and mind.  Will decides on a response and body expresses that response.

6. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?   1 Cor. 6:19. Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temp;e, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy and you are that temple. 1 Cor. 3:16-7

7. I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual act of worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but e transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2 In whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. Matt 6:22

8. Tactics to Defile the Temple Infusion of the pride of life.

9. Satan imparts his prideful thoughts and desires. ‘I will ascend into heaven,I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;I will also sit on the mount of the congregationOn the farthest sides of the north;14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,I will be like the Most High.’ Isaiah 14:13-4 “Eve don’t you want to be like God?” “Make your papa proud by been like Him.” “You can be more independent and do more things for Him.”

10. Tactics to Defile the Temple Infusion of the pride of life. Evoke Feelings of desire. Doubts, Lies and Deception. (Evidence presented from “without”, natural, bodily world). “You will not die.” Evoke Feelings to align with Lies and Deception. Entice the Will to follow feelings, lies and body.

11. Defiling the Temple Lie presented to the mind via bodily senses (hearing). Serpent Instead of feelings following mind, the mind is getting confirmation of what is true by feelings. (It’s feels right so it must be true.)

12. Defiling the Temple Good for food, pleasing to the eye. Smell and touch inferred. More evidence via the natural realm! Serpent Lie presented to the mind via bodily senses. Mind confirms it as truth based on the feelings.

13. Defiling the Temple Will chooses an action based on “truth” and the body does it. Evidence via bodily senses, natural realm (eye, touch, hearing, etc) Will chooses Serpent Lie presented to the mind via bodily senses. Mind looks for confirmation with feelings. Human spirit is bypassed.

14. Defiling the Temple Spirit is shaped by what the will decides Evidence via bodily senses (eye, touch, hearing, etc) Ineffective Representative and Temple of God Serpent Evidence is processed by Mind & Emo, and The Will chooses Outward in movement

15. What’s better than just defiling things? Have the defiling mechanism set on autopilot repetition cycle and reproduce itself Have someone else do it for you.

16. Tree of Life has seeds in it and has capability for reproducing. • And God said, “ I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” Gen 1:29. • And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.  And out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Gen 2:8-9

17. Passed down to us The seed of pride of life with reproducing capabilities. Seed of Desire for independence Seed Desire to be like God. Notices these were things God originally want to give to us to begin with—confidence in our identity, ability to have individual thought and to be like Him— but are now defiled because of rebellion.

18. Price of Growing the Seed of Prideful Independence—Been like God Taking on roles that God plays: Job of a provider – workaholics Job of the helper – burnt out servants Taking the all knowing characteristic – arrogance Taking the all powerful characteristic – control freaks. Taking on omnipresence -- ??

19. A Judge Needs a system of justice. A set of law to determine good or evil. Set a fair standard. Has authority to pronounce guilt: “____, I find you guilty of the charge(s) of _______.” Has the right to decide what is owed: “I now sentence you to serve the sentence of punishment or pay the restitution of _____.” Way and authority to enforce the sentence. Platform to clearly communicate all these points.

20. Serpents gets us to play judge • Get us to partake of the Fruit of Good and Evil = gave us our own box of stars and dotsso that we have a ‘system of justice”. • Gave us pride to think that we have a fair standard, authority to judge, ability to enforce a sentence. • Our system is not fair and it is relative to each person’s convictions and knowledge. • We do not have authority to judge nor the power to enforce judgment.

21. Serpent did not tell us that natural spiritual laws applies to making judgments: • Law of Sowing and Reaping: Galatians 6:7. • Law of Increase: Hosea 8:7. Sow a seed, get a tree, sow wind and get a whirlwind. • Law of Faith: Heb 12:1-2. • Physics law that every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

22. Sow Judgment, Reap Responsibilities of a Judge. • In taking the role of a judge, you are also reap the role of rendering a punishment or restitution and the means of executing justice. • If you pass down a restitution of an apology from someone, you will need to collect that debt. If you render a punishment of eternal pain for the other person, your soul won’t rest until it’s pay in full. • Unforgiving servant thrown into eternal torment. The torment is re-experiencing the pain, hurt b/c restitution/punishment has not been collected.

23. Sow Judgment, Reap defilement Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way (krima, judgment in KJV) you judge others, you will be judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matt 7:1,2 Gets us to defile ourselves through judging. Sow judgment, reap condemnation.

24. Judgment Reaps Condemnation You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemningyourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’sjudgment (krima) against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment (krima)? Romans 2:1-3

25. Judgments Reaps Illnesses. • Qin'ahקִנְאָה(Strong’s H7068) Ardour, zeal, jealousy, ardour of anger, indignation. • A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but Qin'ahthe rottenness of the bones. Prov 14:30 • Type A personality and depression (anger turned inwards) have both been linked as risks factors for stress illnesses such as stroke, heart disease as much as high blood pressure and high cholesterol are risk factors.

26. Sow Judgment, Reap Bitter Roots • Marinating in thoughts of anger, critical judgment of someone due to unforgiveness, repeating offense or a deep wound can result in will result in parorgismos (indignation, wrath, bitterness, resentment): BITTER ROOT JUDGMENTS. • Do not let the sun go down on your parorgismosand do not give the devil a foothold. Eph 4:26-7

27. Bitter Root Judgment • Opinion formed out of bitterness about a person’s character and identity. Crosses the line btw examining behavior to judging character. • Condemning them to a label • A firm belief that this person will not change. • ____ is always controlling. • ____ is a liar. • ____ is uncaring. • ____ is incapable of showing affection. • ____ is evil/bad.

28. Bitter Roots Reaps • Defilement of one’s own temple. • Accusing God of been unfair, inactive or incapable to change the person. Disassembling altar that honors God. • Setting up idols of Self-righteousness and pride. • Making offerings to the idol of self with pain, negativity, emotional hardness, hopelessness, revenge, etc. • We defile self -- We become what we judged (Romans 2:1)

29. Bitterness Reaps a Veil between God and us. • Blocks our relationship with God and blocks Him from hearing us and forgiving us • “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:2 • “If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.” Ps 66:18 • “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matt 6:14-5

30. Bitter Roots Reap: • Blocking of God’s intervention and blessings. John 20:23 “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” Proverbs 18:21 “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Desecration of other temples of God. Likely condemning that person as “hopelessly unchangeable”/”forever sinful” even before God.

31. Reapings of Bitter Root Judgments: • See to it… that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Heb 12:15. • Releases rights to the enemy to confirm that characteristic in that person. Puts a human curse on the person that blocks the blessings of God. Ex:Dad • Releases right to the enemy to put blinders on our eyes so we cannot see change in the person (con’t to misread them in the way we painted them) or cannot see them through God’s eyes.

32. Bitter Root Judgments Reaps Bitter Expectancies A negative belief system that is established in your heart that expects the ‘worst’ in people, self, God and situations. This negative belief system ‘protects’ one from disappointments in hoping. (Hoping for change hurts b/c people fall short, so it’s better not to hope)

33. Bitter Expectancies Reap: • A Self fulfilling prophecy. It operates on the spiritual law of faith. According to your faith, will it be done to you. Matt 9:29 For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Prov 23:7. • A man thinks, he will act accordingly and in so doing actually brings about what he expects to happen.

34. Examples of Bitter Root Expectancies I never fit in. People always think I’m weird. There is always someone prettier. People always reject me. I always get left out. People always use me. No one ever listens to me. No one understands me. No one loves me. Everyone always leaves me. Guys never ask me out. Something always comes up to eat my money.

35. Bitter Roots Reaps Bitter Laws of Life, False Beliefs Systems • Judgments sets up a hypothesis we have about how life is. Over time and repetition of the same scenarios, it becomes a generalizedfalse ‘law of life’ that we live by. • Bitterness at not been promoted turns into “Only charismatic people get promoted.” • Bitterness at a husband’s unfaithfulness becomes “Men cannot be trusted.” “All men are liar.” • Bitterness at wife becomes “all women are manipulative.” • Bitterness at abandonment = I’m on my own.

36. Progression of Bitterness

37. In Summary: Bitter judgment is my conclusion about a person’s(gp of people’s) character. Bitter expectancy is what I expect to happen in the future Bitter belief is a generalized conclusion of how the world runs. Unforgiveness grows into bitterness into hatred, etc.

38. Exercise God, can you show my bitterness against a person past or present that I can process now? God, what bitter root judgments do I have against this person? God, what punishment or recompense do I require from him or her? (an apology, acknowledgement, change in behavior, money, time, kind words, etc???) God, what bitter expectancies do I have because of this person’s actions? God, what life laws have I written because of this person?

39. What’s better than just defiling things? Have the defiling mechanism set on autopilot repetition cycle and reproduce itself. Have someone else do it.

41. My Bitterness Bitter Belief SystemBitter Expectancies Defense Mehanisms. Dad scolded me after I was thrown into the pool and almost drowned. Same incident can have many branches.

43. My Bitterness Bitter Laws of LifeBitter Expectancies Defense Mechanisms. Second branch of Mom withholding stuff animal I wanted and gave it to brother.

44. Defense Mechanisms • Denial • Sublimation • Displacement • Projection • Rationalization. • Reaction Formation • Passive-Aggression • Inner Vows Escapism, Avoidance Addictions Pleasures Performance Intellectualization Dissociation Appeasing Domination and threats Legalism

45. Displacement: Taking out frustration, feelings on people or objects that are less threatening. (get mad at wife after a hard day at work). Sublimation: socially unacceptable impulses or idealizations are consciously transformed into socially acceptable actions of behaviors. (person with anger issues may take up kick boxing as a means of venting frustrations.)

46. Reaction Formation: Converting unwanted or dangerous thought, feelings or impulses into their opposites. (I really don’t like this person so I go out of my way to be nice to him or her.) Projection: taking our own unacceptable qualities or feelings and ascribing them to other people. (You strongly dislike someone but believes that it’s he or she that doesn’t like you.)

47. The more ‘mature’ defense mechanism while they are healthier still does not allow us to be honest about the root of our issue and our own feelings and anger.

48. “Protective” Inner Vows • Decisions/Deep conviction of needing to do something usually to protect oneself from future harm or to exert control over our lives. • Usually made subconsciously when we are still children. Ex: • I’m never cry. • I’m never be like mom or dad. • I’ll never be left out again. • I’ll never marry. I’ll never kids (like that). • I will never forgive myself or you.

49. No one is going to tell me what to do • I will never trust a man(woman) again. • I’ll never be vulnerable enough to get hurt. (I’ll never let anyone get close to me.) • I’ll never to that again. • I’ll never speak in public or sound stupid. • I’ll never trust God again. • I’ll never discipline like my parents. • I’ll be invisible so no one can blame me. • I’ll never make a mistake again. • I’ll never be a disappointment. • I’ll always be there for you. I’ll always love you.

50. Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it. Deut 12:32. 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord. But I tell you, do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” Matthew 5:33-37
