David Diga Hernandez - This Eye-Opening Revelation will Change How you See the Holy Spirit

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. Now what you’re seeing here mentioned is body, soul, and spirit. Say, «I am a spirit who has a soul that lives in a body.» Now let me be very clear here: I am not by any means saying that man is a trinity, but I am saying that there are three aspects to man’s nature. The human being was born with three aspects in regard to his nature: spirit, soul, and body. I have these gentlemen standing up here to help illustrate which is which, and I don’t want to spend too much time on this, but this is a foundational understanding. You are the spirit, so look like the spirit. It’s hard to do, I know. So, he is the spirit, you are the soul, and I’m sorry, Nick, you are the flesh. But I know you’re a man of the spirit; you’re just playing the flesh tonight, okay? Or the body, the physical body—spirit, soul, body. Stay with me: spirit, soul, body, spirit, soul, body. Watch this: your body is what we shall call your earth suit. It’s your communication with the world around you; it’s how you sense the world around you; it’s how you experience interactions with other individuals. Every interaction that you have with another individual is grounded in the physical realm, at least on this side of eternity. Now what’s interesting here is that many people operate under the false assumption that the physical body is somehow evil in and of itself—that the physical body is some wicked thing. And where that confusion comes from is simple: when Paul the Apostle writes of the flesh, sometimes translators use the word «flesh» in the same way for body and sin nature. So, you have to look carefully at the context when you’re reading. Sometimes when the scripture talks about the flesh, it’s talking about the sin nature, the carnal mind, the tendency to do evil. Other times, when it’s talking about the flesh, the scripture is referring to your physical body. Now, if the Bible says that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, how is it possible that your physical body is evil? It’s not. It’s what we choose to do in the body that makes it good or evil; it’s what we choose to do in the body that makes it holy or unholy. So the physical body can be holy; it can be a carrier of the glory of God. I remember one time I was ministering in Kansas, and I had just finished preaching a service. I was in the lobby, and as I was there, I saw this woman out of the corner of my eye. She came hobbling out of the service; something was wrong with her knee. It was very obvious because she had a distinct limp. So she’s limping by me, and suddenly she stands up straight, as if something had surprised her. She looks around, and then she starts stomping her foot. She turns to me, reaches out toward me, and starts running and screaming. I was terrified; I had no idea what she wanted with me. She came up and started shaking me, screaming, «What did you do?» I had no idea what she was talking about. I was like, «What?» I was backing away, saying, «What are you saying? What happened?» She said, «I had surgery on my knee like two years ago. For the last two years, because they didn’t do the surgery well, I’ve been walking around in pain. When I walked by you just now, something jumped off of you onto me, and the pain left my body.» I was shocked; I said, «Lord, I didn’t even pray for her.» That’s what I said to the Lord. I didn’t even pray for her. He said, and this is what the Holy Spirit said: «That’s because I live in you, and every so often, I like to reach out and touch people.» The physical body, say it with me: «I am a carrier of the glory.» You are, church; you’re a carrier of God’s glory. You don’t have to go searching for atmospheres when you carry an atmosphere. The physical body, guys, is not evil; it can house the glory of God. I was attending a Bible conference, and I set my Bible down—Eric, you’ll like this. I set my Bible down on a chair and I left. Then, somebody brought me the Bible; they thought I lost it. They said, «Hey, I brought you your Bible; you left it on a chair.» I thought, «Well great, now I lost my seat.» But this individual who was handing me the Bible was shaking. I asked myself, «What’s wrong with this person?» I don’t know. They said, «When I grabbed your Bible, I felt a heat and a tingling sensation move up my body, and now my body’s trembling.» It was the fire of God, guys. That tangible touch of God’s power is not just on me; it’s on you too. It’s the power of God. So the physical body can be programmed under the sin nature or the spirit. That’s why the Bible says if you walk in the spirit, you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Why? Because you can only be programmed for one thing at a time. The physical body was trained under an old mindset, which is why the flesh has what’s called sinful cravings.
