The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

what the other two spheres have determined inwardly. The heart is the repository that receives and dispenses via thoughts and will what the soul desires and the body craves to perform. The spirit, once renewed to God, becomes a slave to the long-standing dominance of the other two, the soul and the body, until it is matured by His word. It seems to have the least say after salvation, when once it held dominant authority. As the spirit is renewed, per Ephesians 4:23, Romans 12:2 happens and eventually what the new man (another word for the spirit) decrees the other members will agree to and perform. The soul is revealed as the seat of the human being in contrast to the spirit, which is presented in Scripture as being the divine part. Romans 2:9; Psalm 16:10; Matthew 10:28; Acts 2:27, 31. It would seem from this distinction that souls were created differently from spirits to enable their animation in the earthly realm. The spirit conversely was made to inhabit God’s celestial realms, which makes the revelation of Matthew 25:41 clearer.

Thus their presence in the lower realms of creation coincides with their banishment from the celestial heavens to the terrains of earth. Humanity’s origin in the same mid lower realms receives God’s invitation to press to earn the right to ascend into the highest by the spirit. The role of the soul to inhabit the earth is to prepare people to reside in heaven, God’s first choice for them. See also Isaiah 57:16 and 43:7; Job 32:8; Genesis 1:27. 637.

Hierscopy—The official work of ancient pagan priests of Greece and Rome whereby they sought and supplied omens by studying the severed parts of a sacrificial animal. The organs most studied were the heart, kidneys, liver, and gall bladder. Deformities, abnormalities, veins, and tissue formation were all thought to be omen signs. 639. Hierus—A Greek term for a sacred official, a priest. The term underscores the servant’s worshipful character and official duties to his or her deity. This is a New Testament word used in the accounts of the Lord’s ministry in the gospels. 640. High Places—Hilltops where pagan gods were worshipped.
