Just the Beginning
Positive thoughts are always full of

faith and hope.
Negative thoughts are always full of fear and doubt
1 Mga Taga-Corinto 2:16
[15Sinisiyasat ng taong pinapanahanan ng Espiritu ang lahat ng bagay, ngunit walang sinumang makakasiyasat sa kanya.]
16Sino ang nakakaalam ng pag-iisip ng Panginoon?

Sino ang makapagpapayo sa kanya?
Ngunit nasa atin ang pag-iisip ni Cristo.
17Kaya't kung nakipag-isa na kay Cristo ang isang tao, isa na siyang bagong nilalang. Wala
na ang dati niyang pagkatao, sa halip, ito'y napalitan na ng bago.
Ezekiel 36:26-27
26Bibigyan ko kayo ng bagong puso at bagong espiritu.
Ang masuwayin ninyong puso ay gagawin kong pusong masunurin. 27Bibigyan ko
kayo ng aking Espiritu upang makalakad kayo ayon sa aking mga tuntunin at masunod
ninyong mabuti ang aking mga utos.
Mga Taga-Roma 12:2
Huwag kayong makiayon sa takbo ng mundong ito. Mag-iba kayo sa pamamagitan ng
pagbabago ng inyong pag-iisip upang maunawaan ninyo ang kalooban ng Diyos;
kung ano ang mabuti, kalugud-lugod at ganap na kalooban niya.
STEP 1. THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS (Part 1)
2. BE GOD-MINDED
3. BE GOD-LOVES-ME MINDED
4. HAVE AN EXORTATIVE MIND
5. DEVELOP A THANKFUL MIND
6. BE WORD-MINDED
Amos 3:3
Isaiah 26:3
1 Juan 4:16
Mga Taga Roma 12:8
Awit 100:4
Juan 5:38
A whole new world opens up to us when we learn to choose our own thoughts
rather
than letting the devil fill our minds full of things that will destroy us.
We must learn to be responsible for our thoughts and words because they
produce our actions.
It is impossible for us to behave better unless we think better thoughts!

(BUHAY
Mga Taga Roma 8:6-10
6Ang pagsunod sa hilig ng laman ay naghahatid sa kamatayan, ngunit ang pagsunod sa

Espiritu ay nagdudulot ng buhay at kapayapaan. 7Kaya nga, kapag sinusunod ng tao ang mga
hilig ng laman, siya'y nagiging kaaway ng Diyos sapagkat hindi niya sinusunod ang batas ng
Diyos, at talaga namang hindi niya kayang sundin ito. 8At ang nabubuhay ayon sa hilig ng laman
ay hindi maaaring kalugdan ng Diyos.
9Ngunit hindi na kayo namumuhay ayon sa laman, kundi ayon sa Espiritu. Sa katunayan,
nananatili na sa inyo ang Espiritu ng Diyos. Kung wala sa isang tao ang Espiritu ni Cristo, hindi
kay Cristo ang taong iyon. 10Ngunit dahil nananahan sa inyo si Cristo, mamatay man ang inyong
mga katawan dahil sa kasalanan, ang espiritu naman ninyo ay buhy sapagkat itinuring na
kayong matuwid ng Diyos.
Have - a positive outlook and attitude
Maintain positive thoughts and expectations
Engage in positive conversation
Last words:
little by little
Never give up!
My Notes:
Everything in this planet are governed by law! Natural Law-physical & since human
being tayo, we have Gods spirit that sets us apart from other creation we are also
governed by spiritual law!
Whether we believe it or not! Well all reap the consequences of our actions. For
example:
Physical = too much sugar diabetes (for acquired not hereditary);
= Pagod, kulang sa pahinga/tulog its hard to pray, really, totoo yn! Kc
kulang ka sa tulong! Dont make it an excuse..bcz but God givs us the wisdom- try
to balance it! All work w/ no play makes Johny a dull boy! U know what I mean.
Tanong? Saan tayo sumosobra sa oras kaya kinukulang sa pakikipagbonding/prayer
sa Panginoon? Warning: while it is very truepalaging si satan ang sinisisi ntn
tinukso tayo, pumayag tayoso its us pa rin, d b? Kaya its so hard for the carnal to
change his carnal inclination! Who can charnge us? ONLY GOD! So lets spend more
time w/ SOMEONE who can change us!
Spiritual =
Actually pg kulang sa vitamin B- its hard to focus or concentrate

2 Corinthians 4:4 - Hindi sila sumasampalataya sapagkat ang kanilang isip ay

pinuno ng mundong ito. Wala siyang kapangyarihan sa akin.
1 Juan 2:15-17 Huwag ninyong ibigin ang sanlibutan o ang mga bagay na nasa
sanlibutan. Ang umiibig sa sanlibutan ay hindi umiibig sa Ama. 16Ang lahat ng nasa
sanlibutan, ang masasamang nasa ng laman, ang nasa ng mga mata, at ang
pagmamalaki sa mundong ito ay hindi nagmumula sa Ama kundi sa
sanlibutan. 17Mawawala ang sanlibutan at ang lahat ng kinahuhumalingan nito,
ngunit ang mga sumusunod sa kalooban ng Diyos ay mabubuhay magpakailanman.
Mga Taga-Roma 12:2 - Huwag kayong makiayon sa takbo ng mundong ito. Magiba kayo sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng inyong pag-iisip upang maunawaan

2 Mga Taga-Corinto 5:4-5
Ang sandatang ginamit namin sa pakikipaglaban ay hindi sandatang makamundo, kundi ang
kapangyarihan ng Diyos na nakakapagpabagsak ng mga kuta. Sinisira namin ang mga maling
pangangatuwiran, 5ginagapi namin ang lahat ng pagmamataas laban sa kaalaman tungkol sa Diyos, at
binibihag namin ang lahat ng isipan upang matutong sumunod kay Cristo.

DRIVE YOU AWAY FROM KNOWING GOD! (NOT TO INCREASE FAITH BY NOT ATTENDING BS, NOT

ROMANS 10:16-17 16Ngunit hindi lahat ay tumanggap sa Magandang Balita, gaya

ng sinulat ni Isaias, Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming mensahe? 17Kaya't ang
pananampalataya ay bunga ng pakikinig, at ang pakikinig naman ay bunga ng
pangangaral tungkol kay Cristo.

inyong kabutihang-loob. Malapit nang dumating ang Panginoon. 6Huwag kayong mabalisa
tungkol sa anumang bagay. Sa halip, hingin ninyo sa Diyos ang lahat ng inyong kailangan sa
pamamagitan ng panalanging may pasasalamat. 7At ang kapayapaan ng Diyos na hindi kayang
maunawaan ng tao ang siyang mag-iingat sa inyong puso at pag-iisip dahil sa inyong

Juan 3:3
3Sumagot si Jesus, Pakatandaan mo: malibang ipanganak na muli ang isang tao, hindi niya makikita ang
paghahari ng Diyos.

17Kaya't kung nakipag-isa na kay Cristo ang isang tao, isa na siyang bagong nilalang. Wala na ang dati
niyang pagkatao, sa halip, ito'y napalitan na ng bago. [18Ang Diyos ang gumawa ng lahat ng ito. Sa pamamagitan ni
Cristo, ibinilang niya tayong mga kaibigan at hindi na kaaway, at pinili niya kami upang ang iba pang mga tao ay maging kaibigan rin
niya. 19Ang ibig sabihin, sa pamamagitan ni Cristo, ang mga tao'y ibinilang ng Diyos na kaibigan, at nilimot na niya ang kanilang mga
kasalanan. At kami naman ay inatasan niyang ipamalita ito.]
CHRISTIANS ENEMY/SPIRITUAL ARMOR
Mga Taga-Efeso 6:12-18
12Sapagkat hindi tayo nakikipaglaban sa mga tao, kundi sa mga pinuno, sa mga maykapangyarihan, at sa
mga tagapamahala ng kadilimang umiiral sa sanlibutang itoang mga hukbong espirituwal ng kasamaan
sa himpapawid.
13Kaya't isuot ninyo ang kasuotang pandigma na mula sa Diyos. Sa gayon, makalalaban kayo kapag
dumating ang masamang araw na sumalakay ang kaaway, upang pagkatapos ng labanan ay matatag pa
rin kayong nakatayo.
14Kaya't maging handa kayo. Ibigkis sa inyong baywang ang sinturon ng katotohanan, at isuot sa dibdib
ang baluti ng katuwiran;
15isuot ninyo ang sandalyas ng pagiging handa sa pangangaral ng Magandang Balita ng kapayapaan.
16Lagi ninyong gawing panangga ang pananampalataya, na siyang papatay sa lahat ng nagliliyab na
palaso ng diyablo.
17Isuot ninyo ang helmet ng kaligtasan, at gamitin ang tabak ng Espiritu, na walang iba kundi ang Salita
ng Diyos.
18Ang lahat ng ito'y gawin ninyo na may panalangin at pagsamo. Manalangin kayo sa lahat ng
pagkakataon, sa patnubay ng Espiritu. Lagi kayong maging handa, at patuloy na ipanalangin ang lahat ng
hinirang ng Diyos.
Mga Taga-Roma 12:2

2Huwag kayong makiayon sa takbo ng mundong ito. Mag-iba kayo sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng
inyong pag-iisip upang maunawaan ninyo ang kalooban ng Diyos; kung ano ang mabuti, kalugud-lugod at
ganap na kalooban niya.
Hebreo 4:12
12Ang salita ng Diyos ay buhy at mabisa, mas matalas kaysa alinmang tabak na sa magkabila'y may
talim. Ito'y tumatagos maging sa kaibuturan ng kaluluwa at espiritu, ng mga kasukasuan at buto, at
nakakaalam ng mga iniisip at binabalak ng tao.
13Walang makakapagtago sa Diyos; ang lahat ay hayag at lantad sa kanyang paningin, at sa kanya tayo
mananagot.
1 Mga Taga-Tessalonica 5:23

23Nawa'y lubusan kayong gawing banal ng Diyos na siyang nagbibigay ng kapayapaan. At nawa'y
panatilihin niyang walang kapintasan ang buo ninyong katauhan, ang espiritu, kaluluwa at katawan,
hanggang sa pagparito ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo .[ 24Tapat ang tumawag sa inyo, at gagawin niya ang mga
bagay na ito.]
MAN (CREATED IN GODs IMAGE), BOTH HUMAN AND SPIRITUAL BEING
1. Body
2. Soul (mind, will, emotions)
14Sapagkat ang taong di pinapanahanan ng Espiritu ay ayaw tumanggap ng mga kaloob mula sa Espiritu
ng Diyos. Para sa kanila, kahangalan ang mga iyon at di nila nauunawaan, sapagkat ang mga bagay na
espirituwal ay mauunawaan lamang sa paraang espirituwal.
15Sinisiyasat ng taong pinapanahanan ng Espiritu ang lahat ng bagay, ngunit walang sinumang
makakasiyasat sa kanya.
3. Spirit
Sa Mga Taga Roma 5:18-19

18At kung paanong ang pagsuway ng isang tao ay nagdulot ng kaparusahan sa lahat, ang matuwid na
ginawa rin ng isang tao ay nagdudulot ng kapatawaran at buhay sa lahat. 19Sapagkat kung ang lahat ay
naging makasalanan dahil sa pagsuway ng isang tao, ang lahat ay mapapawalang-sala dahil sa pagsunod
ng isa ring tao.
Mga Taga Efeso 1:13-14

13Kayo man ay naging bayan ng Diyos matapos ninyong marinig ang salita ng katotohanan, ang
Magandang Balita na nagdudulot ng kaligtasan. Sumampalataya kayo kay Cristo, kaya't ipinagkaloob sa
inyo ang Espiritu Santo na ipinangako ng Diyos bilang tatak ng pagkahirang sa inyo.
14Ang Espiritu ang katibayan na makakamit natin ang mga pangako ng Diyos para sa atin, hanggang sa
makamtan natin ang lubos na kaligtasan.
Soul + Spirit = tied together = heartof a man
Mga Kawikaan 4:23

23Ang puso mo'y ingatang mabuti at alagaan, pagkat iyan ang siyang bukal ng buhay mong tinataglay.

[3Kung nabubuhay man kami sa mundong ito, hindi naman kami nakikipaglaban ayon sa pamamaraan ng mundong ito .]
4Ang sandatang ginamit namin sa pakikipaglaban ay hindi sandatang makamundo, kundi ang
kapangyarihan ng Diyos na nakakapagpabagsak ng mga kuta. Sinisira namin ang mga maling
pangangatuwiran,
5ginagapi namin ang lahat ng pagmamataas laban sa kaalaman tungkol sa Diyos, at binibihag namin ang
lahat ng isipan upang matutong sumunod kay Cristo.
Mga Taga-Filipos 4:8-9

8Bilang pagtatapos, mga kapatid, dapat maging laman ng inyong isip ang mga bagay na karapat-dapat at
kapuri-puri: mga bagay na totoo, marangal, matuwid, malinis, kaibig-ibig, at kagalang-galang.
9Isagawa ninyo ang lahat ng inyong natutuhan, tinanggap, narinig at nakita sa akin. Sa gayon, sasainyo
ang Diyos na nagbibigay ng kapayapaan.
Mateo 10:16
16Tingnan ninyo; isinusugo ko kayo na parang mga tupa sa gitna ng mga asong-gubat. Kaya't maging
matalino kayong gaya ng ahas at maamo na gaya ng kalapati.

23Malaking halaga ang ipinantubos sa inyo ng Diyos; huwag kayong paaalipin sa mga tao.
24Mga kapatid, anuman ang kalagayan ninyo sa buhay nang kayo'y tawagin, manatili kayo sa gayong
pakikiisa sa Diyos.
Luke 6:31
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Luke 6:35
35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.
Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the
ungrateful and wicked.
John 8:13
13 The Pharisees challenged him, "Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not
valid."
Romans 12:9
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Mark 12:31
31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Romans 13:10
10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love
never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be
stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Corinthians 13:13
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Ephesians 4:2
2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
1 Peter 4:8
8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 John 4:7
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of
God and knows God.
1 John 4:18-19
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us.
John 15:13
13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Ephesians 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Ephesians 5:33
33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her
husband.
Colossians 3:14
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Proverbs 10:12
12 Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

Proverbs 17:17
17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
1 John 3:16-18
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down
our lives for our brothers.17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has
no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18Dear children, let us not love with words or
tongue but with actions and in truth.
1 John 4:8

27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since
all of them were married to her?" 29 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the
Scriptures or the power of God.
Deuteronomy 10:12-19
12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk
in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your
soul, 13 and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own
good? 14 To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and
everything in it. 15 Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose
you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today. 16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and
do not be stiff-necked any longer. 17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the
great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. 18 He defends the
cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. 19 And you are
to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.
Deuteronomy 11:13-22
13 So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the LORD your God and to
serve him with all your heart and with all your soul-- 14 then I will send rain on your land in its season,
both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. 15 I will provide
grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. 16 Be careful, or you will be enticed
to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. 17 Then the LORD's anger will burn
against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce,
and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. 18 Fix these words of mine in your
hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them
to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you
lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your
gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore
to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth. 22 If you carefully
observe all these commands I am giving you to follow--to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his
ways and to hold fast to him-
Song of Solomon 8:4-8

4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. 5 Who is this
coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother
conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth. 6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a
seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing
fire, like a mighty flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to
give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. 8 We have a young sister, and her
breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for?
Matthew 6:24
24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted
to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Matthew 22:37-39
37 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor
as yourself.'
Matthew 23:6-8
6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love
to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' 8 "But you are not to be called
'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.
Battlefield Of The Mind Quotes by Joyce Meyer

Dont ever give up, because little by little you are changing. The more you change your mind for the better, the
more your life will also change for the better. When you begin to see Gods good plan for you in your thinking,
you will begin to walk in it!
Dont receive condemnation when you have setbacks or bad days. Just get bacj up, dust yourself off, and start
again. I repeat: dont receive condemnation. Your total victory will come, but it will take time because it will
come little by little!
Our past may explain why we're suffering but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.
You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.
Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.
Trust and faith bring joy to life and help relationships grow to their maximum potential.
Some people think they have discernment when actually they are just suspicious..
Suspicion comes out of the unrenewed mind; discernment comes out of the renewed spirit.
Don't reason in the mind just obey in the spirit.
The devil will give up when he sees that you are not going to give in.
No matter how much we know in any area there are always new things to learn and things we have previously
learned that we need to be refreshed in.
It is not that we don't have faith it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with lies.
There are times when God leaves huge question marks as tools in our lives to stretch our our faith.
If you only do what is easy, you will always remain weak.
A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like
rottenness of the bones. Proverbs 14:30
Asking for something is easy being responsible for it is the part that develops character.
People living in the vanity of their own mind not only destroy themselves, but far too often, they bring destruction
to others around them.
Discouragement destroys hope, so naturally the devil always tries to discourage us. Without hope we give up, which
is what the devil wants us to do. The Bible repeatedly tells us not to be discouraged or dismayed. God knows that we
will not come through to victory if we get discouraged, so He always encourages us as we start out on a project by
saying to us, Dont get discouraged. God wants us to be encouraged, not discouraged.
We are not walking in the Word if our thoughts are opposite of what it says. We are not walking in the Word if we
are not thinking in the Word.
When a person is going through a hard time, his mind wants to give up. Satan knows that if he can defeat us in our
mind, he can defeat us in our experience. Thats why it is so important that we not lose heart, grow weary and faint.
A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your
flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you
shall heed My ordinances and do them. Ezekiel 36:26,27
The pathway to freedom begins when we face the problem without making excuses for it.
The mind should be kept peaceful. As the prophet Isaiah tells us, when the mind is stayed on the right things, it will
be at rest.
We like everything instantaneous. We have the fruit of patience inside, but it is being worked to the outside.
Sometimes God takes His time about bringing us our full deliverance. He uses the difficult period of waiting to
stretch our faith and to let patience have her perfect work (see James 1:4 KJV). Gods timing is perfect. He is never
late.
The mind is the leader or forerunner of all actions.
Pray for your enemies, and bless those who mistreat you (see Matt. 5:44).
Remember, you become what you think. Think discouraging thoughts, and youll get discouraged.
Our past may explain why were suffering, but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.
Satan will aggressively fight against the renewal of your mind, but it is vital that you press on and continue to pray
and study in this area until you gain measurable victory.
So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit
receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted [in your hearts] contains the power to save your souls.
James 1:21
Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you
are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
My Notes:
Before we go deeper again into the Word of God, lets refresh our mind: Why the Bible? Bible is a
Living Book. The wisdom it teaches cannot be found in any other book! Lets all read aloud: What
is the Bible? 1-2-3 Go!

its changing the hearts of people, one at a time. Only Jesus can do that.
CHRIST INVITATION
Juan1:12
12Subalit ang lahat ng tumanggap at sumampalataya sa kanya ay binigyan niya ng karapatang
maging mga anak ng Diyos.
Juan 10:27-28
27Nakikinig sa akin ang aking mga tupa; nakikilala ko sila, at sumusunod sila sa akin.
28Binibigyan ko sila ng buhay na walang hanggan. Kailanma'y hindi sila mapapahamak at hindi
sila maaagaw sa akin ninuman.
Mga Gawa 4:12
[11Ang Jesus na ito, Ang batong itinakwil ninyong mga tagapagtayo ng bahay, ang siyang naging batonganulukan.]
12Sa kanya lamang matatagpuan ang kaligtasan, sapagkat walang ibang pangalan ng sinumang
tao sa buong mundo na ibinigay ng Diyos sa mga tao upang tayo ay maligtas.
AS CHRISTIANS:
Mga Taga Roma 6:12-14
12Huwag na ninyong paghariin ang kasalanan sa inyong mga katawang may kamatayan upang
hindi na kayo maalipin ng masasamang hilig nito.
13Huwag na ninyong ipailalim sa kapangyarihan ng kasalanan ang alinmang bahagi ng inyong
katawan bilang kasangkapan sa paggawa ng kasamaan. Sa halip, pasakop kayo sa Diyos bilang
mga taong namatay na at muling binuhay, at ihandog ninyo sa kanya ang inyong katawan bilang
kasangkapan sa kabutihan.
14Sapagkat hindi na dapat maghari sa inyo ang kasalanan, dahil kayo'y hindi na namumuhay sa
ilalim ng kautusan kundi sa ilalim ng kagandahang-loob ng Diyos.
1 Juan 1:9
9Subalit kung ipinapahayag natin sa Diyos ang ating mga kasalanan, maaasahan nating
patatawarin tayo ng Diyos sa mga ito, at lilinisin tayo sa lahat ng ating kasalanan, sapagkat
siya'y tapat at matuwid.
GODS PROMISE
Juan 5:24
24Pakatandaan ninyo: ang nakikinig sa aking salita at sumasampalataya sa nagsugo sa akin ay
may buhay na walang hanggan. Hindi na siya hahatulan, sa halip ay inilipat na siya sa buhay
mula sa kamatayan.
Pahayag 21:3-4
3Narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig mula sa trono, Tingnan ninyo, ang tahanan ng Diyos ay
nasa piling na ng mga tao! Maninirahan siyang kasama nila, at sila'y magiging bayan niya.
Makakapiling nilang palagi ang Diyos at siya ang magiging Diyos nila.
4At papahirin niya ang bawat luha sa kanilang mga mata. Wala nang kamatayan, dalamhati,
pagtangis, at paghihirap sapagkat lumipas na ang dating mga bagay.
8Sapagkat
ganito ang sinasabi, Malapit sa iyo ang kautusan, nasa iyong mga labi at nasa
iyong puso. Ang tinutukoy dito'y ang salitang ipinapangaral namin tungkol sa
pananampalataya. 9Kung ipahahayag ng iyong labi na si Jesus ay Panginoon at buong puso
kang sasampalataya na siya'y muling binuhay ng Diyos, maliligtas ka. 10Sapagkat
sumasampalataya ang tao sa pamamagitan ng kanyang puso at sa gayon ay pinapawalangsala ng Diyos. Nagpapahayag naman siya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang labi at sa gayon ay
naliligtas. 11Sinabi nga ng kasulatan, Walang sinumang sumasampalataya sa kanya ang
mapapahiya. 12Kaya't walang pagkakaiba ang katayuan ng Judio at ng Hentil. Iisa ang
Panginoon ng lahat at siya'y masaganang nagbibigay sa lahat ng tumatawag sa
kanya,13dahil sinasabi sa kasulatan, Maliligtas ang lahat ng tumatawag sa Panginoon.
14Paano
naman sila tatawag sa kanya kung hindi sila sumasampalataya? Paano sila
sasampalataya kung wala pa silang napakinggan tungkol sa kanya? Paano naman sila
makakapakinig kung walang mangangaral sa kanila? 15Atpaanong makakapangaral ang
sinuman kung hindi siya isinugo? Tulad ng nasusulat, O kay gandang pagmasdan ang
pagdating ng mga may dalang Magandang Balita!16Ngunit hindi lahat ay tumanggap sa
Magandang Balita, gaya ng sinulat ni Isaias, Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming
mensahe? 17Kaya't ang pananampalataya ay bunga ng pakikinig, at ang pakikinig naman ay
bunga ng pangangaral tungkol kay Cristo.
18Subalit
ang tanong ko'y ganito: Hindi kaya sila nakapakinig? Oo, sila'y nakapakinig!
Sapagkat nasusulat,
Abot sa lahat ng dako ang kanilang tinig,
balita ay umaabot hanggang sa dulo ng daigdig.
19Ito
pa ang isa kong tanong: Hindi kaya nakaunawa ang bansang Israel? Noon pa man ay
sinabi na ni Moises,
Gagamitin ko ang mga taong di man lamang isang bansa
upang kayo'y inggitin,
gagamitin ko ang isang bansang hangal
upang kayo'y galitin.
20Buong
tapang namang ipinahayag ni Isaias,
Natagpuan ako ng mga hindi naghahanap sa akin.
Nagpahayag ako sa mga hindi nag-uusisa tungkol sa akin.

21Subalit
tungkol naman sa Israel ay sinabi niya,
Buong maghapong nakaunat ang aking mga kamay

sa isang bansang suwail at rebelde!
For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body (1 Cor. 6:20).
My Notes:
Anu ba yung walang kabuluhang pamumuhay? Lets define it, sabi sa Matthew 22:36-40
36Guro, alin po ang pinakamahalagang utos sa Kautusan? tanong niya.
37Sumagot si Jesus, Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso, nang buong kaluluwa, at nang
buong pag-iisip. 38Ito ang pinakamahalagang utos. 39Ito naman ang pangalawa: Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa
gaya ng pag-ibig mo sa iyong sarili. 40Sa dalawang utos na ito nakasalalay ang buong Kautusan ni Moises at
ang katuruan ng mga propeta.

Man hasnt created anything new; hes just discovered the laws that the Lord established from the beginning. Bird brains
have been flying from the start. The same is true with communications, electricity, computing, and a host of other modern
breakthroughs. Man is just discovering the laws God created.
Although mankind has made huge discoveries that have totally changed the way we live, it seems like we know less about
ourselves than previous generations. While our ancestors didnt have all the modern conveniences, they had a peace and
strength that eludes most today. As our knowledge of our natural world has increased, our knowledge of spiritual things
has decreased. In mans arrogance, he blindly believes all of lifes problems can be solved by himself. But there can be no
peace without if there isnt peace within.
There is a whole universe that man in all his wisdom is ignorant of. That is the world of the spirit. And Im not just talking

When we see a cross, what usually comes into our mind?---
Do you agree with me that pag ang 1 bagay palagi mong nakikita, parang nawawala na yun tindi or dating nun bagay na
un? Eg. (1) new toys sa mga bata, (2) in eating sa pinakafavorite restaurant..bt tanungin ko mga mommies- yun pain of
giving birth- madali bang malimutan? Betrayal in a rltnship, yun sakit? . And so on
Sometimes especially when we are in difficult situation or circumstancewe are tempted to ask ourselves? /as
Christians
Talagang kayang mahal ako ng Diyos? Totoong-totoo kaya un?
The truth of GODs luv is not based on: (a) what we think, (b) what we feel, (c) what we have done, and (d) whatever
situations we are in..but it is based on What Christ has done on the cross for you and me- for ordinary man, for sinners
like us!
Sister, ano ba bago? Medyo sawa na ata kami sa msg na yan? W/ this simple msg on the greatness of Gods luv for us,
it is my prayer that when we leave this placewe will have a fresher, newer outlook everytime we see a cross.yung
tipong ako dpt ang nakapako dyanpero SSS, u did it for metalagang walang hanggang pasasalamat po!
Intro:
Naranasan nyo na bang magsanla? Aminin2

1. In exchange for cash, u will give something u own/ur property to the pawnshop
2. Bigyan ka ng cash bt your property should worth more than the cash the pawnshop will
give u
3. On an specific date/period dapat maibalik mo yun pera nila para yun property na naisanla
ay matubos mo (maibalik sayo as the owner), otherwise di na ikaw ang may-ari nun
sinanla!
Question:
1. Kanino yun property nun nakasanla sa pawnshop? Sa may-ari, pero di mo pwede maenjoy kc umutang ka e!
2. Ano effect nun pagkakasanla? If matubos- ok, balik yun property but first you have to
return yun cash + interest. If di matubos - forfeited yun property mo, meaning nwala na
un ownership sa property sayo mo, naipasa or nailipat na sa pawnshop.
Now, lets translate to spiritual realm!

1. Who created us? Sino ang may-ari sa atin?
We are complex human being- body, soul (will, mind, emotions inc ambition, character,
pagkatao mo- the you & spirit (returns to God- dwelling either in heaven or hell!);
soul and spirit mysteriously intertwined
tHe soul and the spirit are mysteriously tied together and make up what the Scriptures call the "heart."
The writer of Proverbs declares, " Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life." (Prov. 4:23 NASB). We
see here that the "heart" is central to our emotions and will.
But a natural (psuchikos -- soulish) man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he
cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised (1 Cor. 2:14 NASB).
Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, "Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day"
(Acts 23:1 NASB).
A Physician's View of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ
By Dr. C. Truman Davis

About a decade ago, reading Jim Bishops The Day Christ Died, I realized that I had for years
taken the Crucifixion more or less for granted that I had grown callous to its horror by a too
easy familiarity with the grim details and a too distant friendship with our Lord. It finally occurred
to me that, though a physician, I didnt even know the actual immediate cause of death. The
Gospel writers dont help us much on this point, because crucifixion and scourging were so
common during their lifetime that they apparently considered a detailed description
unnecessary.
So we have only the concise words of the Evangelists: Pilate, having scourged Jesus, delivered
Him to them to be crucified and they crucified Him. I have no competence to discuss the
infinite psychic and spiritual suffering of the Incarnate God atoning for the sins of fallen man. But
it seemed to me that as a physician I might pursue the physiological and anatomical aspects of
our Lords passion in some detail.
What did the body of Jesus of Nazareth actually endure during those hours of torture?
This led me first to a study of the practice of crucifixion itself; that is, torture and execution by
fixation to a cross. I am indebted to many who have studied this subject in the past, and
especially to a contemporary colleague, Dr. Pierre Barbet, a French surgeon who has done
exhaustive historical and experimental research and has written extensively on the subject.
Apparently, the first known practice of crucifixion was by the Persians. Alexander and his
generals brought it back to the Mediterranean world to Egypt and to Carthage. The Romans
apparently learned the practice from the Carthaginians and (as with almost everything the
Romans did) rapidly developed a very high degree of efficiency and skill at it. A number of
Roman authors (Livy, Cicer, Tacitus) comment on crucifixion, and several innovations,
modifications, and variations are described in the ancient literature. For instance, the upright
portion of the cross (or stipes) could have the cross-arm (or patibulum) attached two or three
feet below its top in what we commonly think of as the Latin cross. The most common form used
in our Lords day, however, was the Tau cross, shaped like our T.
In this cross, the patibulum was placed in a notch at the top of the stipes. There is archeological
evidence that it was on this type of cross that Jesus was crucified. Without any historical or
biblical proof, Medieval and Renaissance painters have given us our picture of Christ carrying the
entire cross. But the upright post, or stipes, was generally fixed permanently in the ground at the
site of execution and the condemned man was forced to carry the patibulum, weighing about
110 pounds, from the prison to the place of execution.
Many of the painters and most of the sculptors of crucifixion, also show the nails through the
palms. Historical Roman accounts and experimental work have established that the nails were
driven between the small bones of the wrists (radial and ulna) and not through the palms. Nails
driven through the palms will strip out between the fingers when made to support the weight of
the human body. The misconception may have come about through a misunderstanding of Jesus
words to Thomas, Observe my hands. Anatomists, both modern and ancient, have always
considered the wrist as part of the hand.
A titulus, or small sign, stating the victims crime was usually placed on a staff, carried at the
front of the procession from the prison, and later nailed to the cross so that it extended above
the head. This sign with its staff nailed to the top of the cross would have given it somewhat the
characteristic form of the Latin cross.
But, of course, the physical passion of the Christ began in Gethsemane. Of the many aspects of
this initial suffering, the one of greatest physiological interest is the bloody sweat. It is interesting
that St. Luke, the physician, is the only one to mention this. He says, And being in agony, He
prayed the longer. And His sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the
ground. Every ruse (trick) imaginable has been used by modern scholars to explain away this
description, apparently under the mistaken impression that this just doesnt happen. A great deal
of effort could have been saved had the doubters consulted the medical literature. Though very
rare, the phenomenon of Hematidrosis, or bloody sweat, is well documented. Under great
emotional stress of the kind our Lord suffered, tiny capillaries in the sweat glands can break, thus
mixing blood with sweat. This process might well have produced marked weakness and possible
shock.
After the arrest in the middle of the night, Jesus was next brought before the Sanhedrin and
Caiphus, the High Priest; it is here that the first physical trauma was inflicted. A soldier struck
Jesus across the face for remaining silent when questioned by Caiphus. The palace guards then
blind-folded Him and mockingly taunted Him to identify them as they each passed by, spat upon
Him, and struck Him in the face.
In the early morning, battered and bruised, dehydrated, and exhausted from a sleepless night,
Jesus is taken across the Praetorium of the Fortress Antonia, the seat of government of the
Procurator of Judea, Pontius Pilate. You are, of course, familiar with Pilates action in attempting
to pass responsibility to Herod Antipas, the Tetrarch of Judea. Jesus apparently suffered no
physical mistreatment at the hands of Herod and was returned to Pilate.
It was then, in response to the cries of the mob, that Pilate ordered Bar-Abbas released and
condemned Jesus to scourging and crucifixion. There is much disagreement among authorities
about the unusual scourging as a prelude to crucifixion. Most Roman writers from this period do
not associate the two. Many scholars believe that Pilate originally ordered Jesus scourged as his
full punishment and that the death sentence by crucifixion came only in response to the taunt by
the mob that the Procurator was not properly defending Caesar against this pretender who
allegedly claimed to be the King of the Jews. Preparations for the scourging were carried out
when the Prisoner was stripped of His clothing and His hands tied to a post above His head. It is
doubtful the Romans would have made any attempt to follow the Jewish law in this matter, but
the Jews had an ancient law prohibiting more than forty lashes. The Roman legionnaire steps
forward with the flagrum (or flagellum) in his hand. This is a short whip consisting of several
heavy, leather thongs with two small balls of lead attached near the ends of each. The heavy
whip is brought down with full force again and again across Jesus shoulders, back, and legs.
At first the thongs cut through the skin only. Then, as the blows continue, they cut deeper into
the subcutaneous tissues, producing first an oozing of blood from the capillaries and veins of the
skin, and finally spurting arterial bleeding from vessels in the underlying muscles. The small
balls of lead first produce large, deep bruises which are broken open by subsequent blows. Finally
the skin of the back is hanging in long ribbons and the entire area is an unrecognizable mass of
torn, bleeding tissue. When it is determined by the centurion in charge that the prisoner is near
death, the beating is finally stopped. The half-fainting Jesus is then untied and allowed to slump
to the stone pavement, wet with His own blood.
The Roman soldiers see a great joke in this provincial Jew claiming to be king. They throw a robe
across His shoulders and place a stick in His hand for a scepter. They still need a crown to make
their travesty complete. Flexible branches covered with long thorns (commonly used in bundles
for firewood) are plaited into the shape of a crown and this is pressed into His scalp. Again there
is copious bleeding, the scalp being one of the most vascular areas of the body.
After mocking Him and striking Him across the face, the soldiers take the stick from His hand and
strike Him across the head, driving the thorns deeper into His scalp. Finally, they tire of their
sadistic sport and the robe is torn from His back. Already having adhered to the clots of blood
and serum in the wounds, its removal causes excruciating pain just as in the careless removal of
a surgical bandage, and almost as though He were again being whipped the wounds once more
begin to bleed. In deference to Jewish custom, the Romans return His garments. The heavy
patibulum of the cross is tied across His shoulders, and the procession of the condemned Christ,
two thieves, and the execution detail of Roman soldiers headed by a centurion begins its slow
journey along the Via Dolorosa.
In spite of His efforts to walk erect, the weight of the heavy wooden beam, together with the
shock produced by copious blood loss, is too much. He stumbles and falls. The rough wood of the
beam gouges into the lacerated skin and muscles of the shoulders. He tries to rise, but human
muscles have been pushed beyond their endurance. The centurion, anxious to get on with the
crucifixion, selects a stalwart North African onlooker, Simon of Cyrene, to carry the cross. Jesus
follows, still bleeding and sweating the cold, clammy sweat of shock, until the 650 yard journey
from the fortress Antonia to Golgotha is finally completed. Jesus is offered wine mixed with
myrrh, a mild analgesic mixture. He refuses to drink. Simon is ordered to place the patibulum on
the ground and Jesus quickly thrown backward with His shoulders against the wood. The
legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. He drives a heavy, square, wroughtiron nail through the wrist and deep into the wood. Quickly, he moves to the other side and
repeats the action, being careful not to pull the arms to tightly, but to allow some flexion and
movement. The patibulum is then lifted in place at the top of the stipes and the titulus reading,
Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, is nailed in place.
The left foot is now pressed backward against the right foot, and with both feet extended, toes
down, a nail is driven through the arch of each, leaving the knees moderately flexed. The Victim
is now crucified. As He slowly sags down with more weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating
pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain the nails in the wrists
are putting pressure on the median nerves.
As He pushes Himself upward to avoid this stretching torment, He places His full weight on the
nail through His feet. Again there is the searing agony of the nail tearing through the nerves
between the metatarsal bones of the feet. At this point, as the arms fatigue, great waves of
cramps sweep over the muscles, knotting them in deep, relentless, throbbing pain. With these
cramps comes the inability to push Himself upward. Hanging by his arms, the pectoral muscles
are paralyzed and the intercostal muscles are unable to act. Air can be drawn into the lungs, but
cannot be exhaled. Jesus fights to raise Himself in order to get even one short breath. Finally,
carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in the blood stream and the cramps partially subside.
Spasmodically, he is able to push Himself upward to exhale and bring in the life-giving oxygen.
It was undoubtedly during these periods that He uttered the seven short sentences recorded:
The first, looking down at the Roman soldiers throwing dice for His seamless garment, Father,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
The second, to the penitent thief, Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise.
The third, looking down at the terrified, grief-stricken adolescent John the beloved Apostle
he said, Behold thy mother. Then, looking to His mother Mary, Woman behold thy son.
The fourth cry is from the beginning of the 22nd Psalm, My God, my God, why has thou forsaken
me?
Jesus experienced hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent
partial asphyxiation, searing pain where tissue is torn from His lacerated back as He moves up
and down against the rough timber. Then another agony begins -- a terrible crushing pain deep in
the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. One
remembers again the 22nd Psalm, the 14th verse: I am poured out like water, and all my bones
are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
It is now almost over. The loss of tissue fluids has reached a critical level; the compressed heart
is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood into the tissue; the tortured lungs are making a
frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air. The markedly dehydrated tissues send their flood of
stimuli to the brain. Jesus gasps His fifth cry, I thirst. One remembers another verse from the
prophetic 22nd Psalm: My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my
jaws; and thou has brought me into the dust of death. A sponge soaked in posca, the cheap,
sour wine which is the staple drink of the Roman legionaries, is lifted to His lips. He apparently
doesnt take any of the liquid.
The body of Jesus is now in extremes, and He can feel the chill of death creeping through His
tissues. This realization brings out His sixth words, possibly little more than a tortured whisper,
It is finished. His mission of atonement has completed. Finally He can allow his body to die.
With one last surge of strength, he once again presses His torn feet against the nail, straightens
His legs, takes a deeper breath, and utters His seventh and last cry, Father! Into thy hands I
commit my spirit.
The rest you know. In order that the Sabbath not be profaned, the Jews asked that the
condemned men be dispatched and removed from the crosses. The common method of ending a
crucifixion was by crurifracture, the breaking of the bones of the legs. This prevented the victim
from pushing himself upward; thus the tension could not be relieved from the muscles of the
chest and rapid suffocation occurred. The legs of the two thieves were broken, but when the
soldiers came to Jesus they saw that this was unnecessary.
Apparently, to make doubly sure of death, the legionnaire drove his lance through the fifth
interspace between the ribs, upward through the pericardium and into the heart. The 34th verse
of the 19th chapter of the Gospel according to St. John reports: And immediately there came out
blood and water. That is, there was an escape of water fluid from the sac surrounding the heart,
giving postmortem evidence that Our Lord died not the usual crucifixion death by suffocation,
but of heart failure (a broken heart) due to shock and constriction of the heart by fluid in the
pericardium.
Thus we have had our glimpse including the medical evidence of that epitome of evil which
man has exhibited toward Man and toward God. It has been a terrible sight, and more than
enough to leave us despondent and depressed. How grateful we can be that we have the great
sequel in the infinite mercy of God toward man at once the miracle of the atonement (at one
ment) and the expectation of the triumphant Easter morning.
Are you moved by what Jesus did for you on the cross? Do you want to receive the salvation
Jesus purchased for you at Calvary with His own blood? Pray this prayer with me:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my
sins and rose from the grave to give me life. I know You are the only way to God so now I want to
quit disobeying You and start living for You. Please forgive me, change my life and show me how
to know You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
How you can know you are forgiven:
The Bible, God's Word says: You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better that we
deserve. This is God's gift to you, and you have done nothing on your own (Ephesians 2:8).
For those who put their faith in Jesus: He gave them the right to be the children of God... God
Himself was the one who made them His children (John 1:12-13).
Details of Christ Crucifixion

1.
Crucifixion was invented by the Persians in 300 BC and perfected by the Romans who rapidly
developed to a very high degree of efficiency and skills at it.
2.
It is the most painful death ever invented by man and is where we get our term "excruciating
(agony, torment, terrible, severe, unbearable/unsefferable, painful
Y, papatayin ka din nmn paunti-unti pa! Inhuman (hayop na pagpatay)! Sana

firing squad na lang, in a second patay agad! Well find out later bakit di
makatao ang pagpatay na i2! Scholars estimated Christ suffering yun
tortured sa kanya for abt 6 hours!
3. It was reserved primarily for the most vicious of male criminals. Death sentence na nga,
ginawa pang napakabrutal ng pagpatay sa pinakamatitinding criminal! Think
of any crimes ever committed by men..it was paid by the Incarnate God as
brutally executed by Roman soldiers (its not them anyway, its us!)
4. Getsemane physiological interest is the bloody sweat
22o ba ito?
Before the crucifixion, as Jesus Christ prayed in the Garden ofGesthemane,
the disciple and physician Luke noted that:
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like
drops
of
blood falling
to
the
ground.
Luke 22:44 (NKJV)
41Lumayo siya sa kanila, mga isang pukol ng bato ang layo, at doo'y lumuhod
at nanalangin. 42Sabi niya, Ama, kung maaari po ay ilayo mo sa akin ang
kopang ito, ngunit huwag ang kalooban ko ang masunod, kundi ang kalooban
mo. [43Nagpakita sa kanya ang isang anghel mula sa langit at pinalakas ang
loob niya. 44Dala ng matinding hinagpis, siya'y nanalangin nang lalong
taimtim, at pumatak sa lupa ang kanyang pawis na parang malalaking patak ng
dugo.]
This was written by the physician Luke, a well-educated man and a careful
observer by profession.
Luke is also the only gospel writer to mention the bloody sweat, possibly
because of his interest as a physician in this rare physiological
phenomenon, which spoke elequently of the intense spiritual agony Jesus was
suffering (Dr. Henry M. Morris& Dr. Truman)
Although this medical condition is relatively rare, according to Dr.
Frederick Zugibe (Chief Medical Examiner of Rockland County, New York) it
is well-known, and there have been many cases of it. The clinical term is
hematohidrosis. [Hematidrosis=tiny cappilaries of sweat glands can break under
great emotional stress]
Around the sweat glands, there are multiple blood vessels in a net-like
form. Under the pressure of great stress the vessels constrict. Then as
the anxiety passes the blood vessels dilate to the point of rupture. The
blood goes into the sweat glands. As the sweat glands are producing a lot
of sweat, it pushes the blood to the surface - coming out as droplets of
blood mixed with sweat. The process alone can marked weakness and
possible shock!
What was the source of Jesus great stress and anguish? Clearly he was in
intense spiritualagony. Being the Son of God, he would have in detail
everything that was about to happen to him. He knew that he was physically
facing one of the most horrible forms of capital punishment there has ever
been. His body was human, and he would feel everything at least as
intensely as we would. Was this the source of his severe stress?
5. Although Jesus' betrayal and arrest are important portions of the passion story, the next event in the
account which is significant from a medical perspective is His trial before the Sanhedrin and
Caiaphas, the High Priest. Here the first physical trauma was inflicted. A soldier struck Jesus across
the face for remaining silent when questioned by Caiaphas. The palace guards then blindfolded Him,
mockingly taunted Him to identify them as each passed by, spat on Him, and struck Him in the face.
6. Pilate ordered Barabbas released and condemned Jesus to scourging (torture) and
cruxifixion! The Roman legionnaire stepped forward with the flagrum, or flagellum, in his
hand. This was a short whip consisting of several heavy, leather thongs (strings/cords) with
two small balls of lead attached near the ends of each. The heavy whip was brought down with
full force again and again across Jesus' shoulders, back, and legs. At first the weighted
thongs :
1. cut through the skin only.
2. as the blows continued, they cut deeper into the subcutaneous tissues, producing first
an oozing of blood from the capillaries and veins of the skin
3. finally spurting arterial bleeding from vessels in the underlying muscles.
The small balls of lead first produced large deep bruises that were broken open by
subsequent blows. Finally, the skin of the back was hanging in long ribbons, and the entire
area was an unrecognizable mass of torn, bleeding tissue. When it was determined by the
centurion in charge that the prisoner was near death, the beating was finally stopped.
7.
Mockery (ininsulto/sarcasm-boo! kinutya, pinagtawanan, nilaitname it all! To humiliate)
The half-fainting Jesus was then untied and allowed to slump (collapse) to the stone pavement, wet with
his own blood.

The crown was pressed into his scalp and again there was copious bleeding as the thorns pierced the very
vascular tissue. After mocking Him and striking (tinamaan) Him across the face, the soldiers took the stick from
His hand and struck Him across the head, driving the thorns deeper into His scalp. Finally, they tired of their
sadistic sport and tore the robe from His back. The robe had already become adherent to the clots of blood and
serum in the wounds, (mabilis dumikit kc malapot un dugo) and its removal, just as in the careless removal of a
surgical bandage, caused excruciating pain. The wounds again began to bleed.
8.
Golgotha
In deference to Jewish custom, the Romans apparently returned His garments. The heavy patibulum of the cross
was tied across His shoulders. The procession of the condemned Christ, two thieves, and the execution detail of
Roman soldiers headed by a centurion began its slow journey along the route which we know today as the Via
Dolorosa.
In spite of Jesus' efforts to walk erect, the weight of the heavy wooden beam, together with the shock produced
by copious loss of blood, was too much. He stumbled and fell. The rough wood of the beam gouged into the
lacerated skin and muscles of the shoulders. He tried to rise, but human muscles had been pushed beyond their
endurance. The centurion, anxious to proceed with the crucifixion, selected a stalwart North African onlooker,
Simon of Cyrene, to carry the cross. Jesus followed, still bleeding and sweating the cold, clammy sweat of
shock. The 650-yard journey from the Fortress Antonia to Golgotha was finally completed. The prisoner was
again stripped of His clothing except for a loin cloth which was allowed the Jews.
The crucifixion began. Jesus was offered wine mixed with myrrh, a mild analgesic, pain-reliving mixture. He
refused the drink. Simon was ordered to place the patibulum on the ground, and Jesus was quickly thrown
backward, with His shoulders against the wood. The legionnaire felt for the depression at the front of the wrist.
He drove a heavy, square wrought-iron nail through the wrist and deep into the wood. Quickly, he moved to the
other side and repeated the action, being careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flexion and
movement. The patibulum was then lifted into place at the top of the stipes, and the titulus reading "Jesus of
Nazareth, King of the Jews" was nailed into place.
The left foot was pressed backward against the right foot. With both feet extended, toes down, a nail was driven
through the arch of each, leaving the knees moderately flexed. The victim was now crucified.
9.
On the Cross
As Jesus slowly sagged down with more weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating, fiery pain shot along the
fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain. The nails in the wrists were putting pressure on the median
nerve, large nerve trunks which traverse the mid-wrist and hand. As He pushed himself upward to avoid this
stretching torment, He placed His full weight on the nail through His feet. Again there was searing agony as the
nail tore through the nerves between the metatarsal bones of this feet.
At this point, another phenomenon occurred. As the arms fatigued, great waves of cramps swept over the
muscles, knotting them in deep relentless, throbbing pain. With these cramps came the inability to push Himself
upward. Hanging by the arm, the pectoral muscles, the large muscles of the chest, were paralyzed and the
intercostal muscles, the small muscles between the ribs, were unable to act. Air could be drawn into the lungs,
but could not be exhaled. Jesus fought to raise Himself in order to get even one short breath. Finally, the carbon
dioxide level increased in the lungs and in the blood stream, and the cramps partially subsided.
10.
The Last Words
Spasmodically, He was able to push Himself upward to exhale and bring in life-giving oxygen. It was
undoubtedly during these periods that He uttered the seven short sentences that are recorded.
The first - looking down at the Roman soldiers throwing dice for His seamless garment: "Father, forgive them
for they do not know what they do."
The second - to the penitent thief: "Today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise."
The third - looking down at Mary Jesus' mother, He said: "Woman, behold your son." Then turning to the
terrified, grief-stricken adolescent John, the beloved apostle, He said: "Behold your mother."
The fourth cry is from the beginning of Psalm 22: "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
He suffered hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation,
and searing pain as tissue was torn from His lacerated back from His movement up and down against the rough
timbers of the cross. Then another agony began: a deep crushing pain in the chest as the pericardium, the sac
surrounding the heart, slowly filled with serum and began to compress the heart.
The prophecy in Psalm 22:14 was being fulfilled: "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint,
my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels."
The end was rapidly approaching. The loss of tissue fluids had reached a critical level; the compressed heart
was struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood to the tissues, and the tortured lungs were making a frantic
effort to inhale small gulps of air. The markedly dehydrated tissues sent their flood of stimuli to the brain. Jesus
gasped His fifth cry: "I thirst." Again we read in the prophetic psalm: "My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou has brought me into the dust of death" (Psalm 22:15 KJV).
A sponge soaked in posca, the cheap, sour wine that was the staple drink of the Roman legionnaires, was lifted
to Jesus' lips. His body was now in extremis, and He could feel the chill of death creeping through His tissues.
This realization brought forth His sixth word, possibly little more than a tortured whisper: "It is finished." His
mission of atonement had been completed. Finally, He could allow His body to die. With one last surge of
strength, He once again pressed His torn feet against the nail, straightened His legs, took a deeper breath, and
uttered His seventh and last cry: "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit."
11.
Death
The common method of ending a crucifixion was by crurifracture, the breaking of the bones of the leg. This
prevented the victim from pushing himself upward; the tension could not be relieved from the muscles of the
chest, and rapid suffocation occurred. The legs of the two thieves were broken, but when the soldiers
approached Jesus, they saw that this was unnecessary.
Apparently, to make doubly sure of death, the legionnaire drove his lance between the ribs, upward through the
pericardium and into the heart. John 19:34 states, "And immediately there came out blood and water." Thus
there was an escape of watery fluid from the sac surrounding the heart and the blood of the interior of the heart.
This is rather conclusive post-mortem evidence that Jesus died, not the usual crucifixion death by
suffocation, but of heart failure due to shock and constriction of the heart by fluid in the pericardium.
Resurrection
In these events, we have seen a glimpse of the epitome of evil that man can exhibit toward his fellowman and
toward God. This is an ugly sight and is likely to leave us despondent and depressed.
But the crucifixion was not the end of the story. How grateful we can be that we have a sequel: a glimpse of the
infinite mercy of God toward man -- the gift of atonement, the miracle of the resurrection, and the expectation
of Easter morning.
Jesus refused the anaesthetic wine which was offered to Him by the Roman soldiers because of His
promise in Matthew 26: 29, "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until
that
day
when
I
drink
it
new
with
you
in
My
Father's
kingdom."
Pagkatapos, dumampot siya ng kopa, nagpasalamat sa Diyos at ibinigay iyon

3. Jesus was stripped naked and His clothing divided by the Roman guards. This was in fulfilment of
Psalm 22:18, "They divide My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots."
4. The Crucifixion of Jesus guaranteed a horrific, slow, painful death.
Having been nailed the Cross, Jesus now had an impossible anatomical position to maintain.
5. Jesus' knees were flexed at about 45 degrees, and He was forced to bear His weight with the
muscles of His thigh, which is not an anatomical position which is possible to maintain for more than a
few minutes without severe cramp in the muscles of the thigh and calf.
6. Jesus' weight was borne on His feet, with nails driven through them.
As the strength of the muscles of Jesus' lower limbs tired, the weight of His body had to be
transferred to His wrists, His arms, and His shoulders.
7. Within a few minutes of being placed on the Cross, Jesus' shoulders were dislocated.
Minutes later Jesus' elbows and wrists became dislocated.
8. The result of these upper limb dislocations is that His arms were 9 inches longer than normal, as
clearly shown on the Shroud.
9. In addition prophecy was fulfilled in Psalm 22:14, "I am poured out like water, and all My bones are
out of joint."
10. After Jesus' wrists, elbows, and shoulders were dislocated, the weight of His body on his upper
limbs caused traction forces on the Pectoralis Major muscles of His chest wall.
11. These traction forces caused His rib cage to be pulled upwards and outwards, in a most unnatural
state. His chest wall was permanently in a position of maximal respiratory inspiration. In order to
exhale, Jesus was physiologically required to force His body.
12. In order to breathe out, Jesus had to push down on the nails in His feet to raise His body, and
allow His rib cage to move downwards and inwards to expire air from His lungs.
13. His lungs were in a resting position of constant maximum inspiration. Crucifixion is a medical
catastrophe.
14. The problem was that Jesus could not easily push down on the nails in His feet because the
muscles of His legs, bent at 45 degrees, were extremely fatigued, in severe cramp, and in an
anatomically compromised position.
15. Unlike all Hollywood movies about the Crucifixion, the victim was extremely active.
The crucified victim was physiologically forced to move up and down the cross, a distance of about 12
inches, in order to breathe.
16. The process of respiration caused excruciating pain, mixed with the absolute terror of
asphyxiation.
17. As the six hours of the Crucifixion wore on, Jesus was less and less able to bear His weight on
His legs, as His thigh and calf muscles became increasingly exhausted.
There was increasing dislocation of His wrists, elbows and shoulders, and further elevation of His
chest wall, making His breathing more and more difficult
Within minutes of crucifixion Jesus became severely dyspnoeic (short of breath).
18. His movements up and down the Cross to breathe caused excruciating pain in His wrist, His feet,
and His dislocated elbows and shoulders.
19. The movements became less frequent as Jesus became increasingly exhausted, but the terror of
imminent death by asphyxiation forced Him to continue in His efforts to breathe.
20. Jesus' lower limb muscles developed excruciating cramp from the effort of pushing down on His
legs, to raise His body, so that He could breathe out, in their anatomically compromised position.
21. The pain from His two shattered median nerves in His wrists exploded with every movement.
22. Jesus was covered in blood and sweat.
23. The blood was a result of the Scourging that nearly killed Him, and the sweat as a result of His
violent involuntary attempts to effort to expire air from His lungs.
Throughout all this He was completely naked, and the leaders of the Jews, the crowds, and the
thieves on both sides of Him were jeering, swearing and laughing at Him.
In addition, Jesus' own mother was watching.
24. Physiologically, Jesus' body was undergoing a series of catastrophic and terminal events.
25. Because Jesus could not maintain adequate ventilation of His lungs, He was now in a state of
hypoventilation (inadequate ventilation).
26. His blood oxygen level began to fall, and He developed Hypoxia (low blood oxygen).
In addition, because of His restricted respiratory movements, His blood carbon dioxide (CO2) level
began to rise, a condition known as Hypercapnia.
27. This rising CO2 level stimulated His heart to beat faster in order to increase the delivery of
oxygen, and the removal of CO2
28. The Respiratory Centre in Jesus' brain sent urgent messages to his lungs to breathe faster, and
Jesus began to pant.
29. Jesus' physiological reflexes demanded that He took deeper breaths, and He involuntarily moved
up and down the Cross much faster, despite the excruciating pain.
The agonising movements spontaneously started several times a minute, to the delight of the crowd
who jeered Him, the Roman soldiers, and the Sanhedrin.
30. However, due to the nailing of Jesus to the Cross and His increasing exhaustion, He was unable
to provide more oxygen to His oxygen starved body.
31. The twin forces of Hypoxia (too little oxygen) and Hypercapnia (too much CO2) caused His heart
to beat faster and faster, and Jesus developed Tachycardia.
32. Jesus' heart beat faster and faster, and His pulse rate was probably about 220 beats/ minute, the
maximum normally sustainable.
33. Jesus had drunk nothing for 15 hours, since 6 pm the previous evening.
Jesus had endured a scourging which nearly killed Him.
34. He was bleeding from all over His body following the Scourging, the crown of thorns, the nails in
His wrists and feet, and the lacerations following His beatings and falls.
35. Jesus was already very dehydrated, and His blood pressure fell alarmingly.
36. His blood pressure was probably about 80/50.
37. He was in First Degree Shock, with Hypovolaemia (low blood volume), Tachycardia (excessively
fast Heart Rate), Tachypnoea (excessively fast Respiratory Rate), and Hyperhidrosis (excessive
sweating).
38. By about noon Jesus' heart probably began to fail.
39. Jesus' lungs probably began to fill up with Pulmonary Oedema.
40. This only served to exacerbate His breathing, which was already severely compromised.
41. Jesus was in Heart Failure and Respiratory Failure.
42. Jesus said, "I thirst" because His body was crying out for fluids.
43. Jesus was in desperate need of an intravenous infusion of blood and plasma to save His life
44. Jesus could not breathe properly and was slowly suffocating to death.
45. At this stage Jesus probably developed a Haemopericardium.
46. Plasma and blood gathered in the space around His heart, called the Pericardium.
47. This fluid around His heart caused Cardiac Tamponade (fluid around His heart, which prevented
Jesus' heart from beating properly).
48. Because of the increasing physiological demands on Jesus' heart, and the advanced state of
Haemopericardium, Jesus probably eventually sustained Cardiac Rupture. His heart literally burst.
This was probably the cause of His death.
49. To slow the process of death the soldiers put a small wooden seat on the Cross, which would
allow Jesus the "privilege" of bearing His weight on his sacrum.
50. The effect of this was that it could take up to nine days to die on a Cross.
51. When the Romans wanted to expedite death they would simply break the legs of the victim,
causing the victim to suffocate in a matter of minutes. This was called Crucifragrum.
52. At three o'clock in the afternoon Jesus said, "Tetelastai," meaning, "It is finished."
At that moment, He gave up His Spirit, and He died.
53. When the soldiers came to Jesus to break His legs, He was already dead. Not a bone of His body
was broken, in fulfilment of prophecy (above).
54. Jesus died after six hours of the most excruciating and terrifying torture ever invented.
55. Jesus died so that ordinary people like you and me could go to Heaven.

A Physician Analyzes The

Crucifixion
A medical explanation of what Jesus endured
on the day He died by Dr. C. Truman Davis.
To Learn The Medical Reason Why Jesus Died On The Cross
Several years ago I became interested in the physical aspects of the passion, or suffering, of Jesus Christ when I
read an account of the crucifixion in Jim Bishop's book, The Day Christ Died. I suddenly realized that I had
taken the crucifixion more or less for granted all these years -- that I had grown callous to its horror by a tooeasy familiarity with the grim details. It finally occurred to me that, as a physician, I did not even know the
actual immediate cause of Christ's death. The gospel writers do not help much on this point. Since
crucifixion and scourging were so common during their lifetimes, they undoubtedly considered a detailed
description superfluous. For that reason we have only the concise words of the evangelists: "Pilate, having
scourged Jesus, delivered Him to them to be crucified ... and they crucified Him."
Despite the gospel accounts' silence on the details of Christ's crucifixion, many have looked into this subject
in the past. In my personal study of the event from a medical viewpoint, I am indebted especially to Dr. Pierre
Barbet, a French surgeon who did exhaustive historical and experimental research and wrote extensively on the
topic.
An attempt to examine the infinite psychic and spiritual suffering of the Incarnate God in atonement for the
sins of fallen man is beyond the scope of this article. However, the physiological and anatomical aspects of our
Lord's passion we can examine in some detail. What did the body of Jesus of Nazareth actually endure during
those hours of torture?
Gethsemane
The physical passion of Christ began in Gethsemane. Of the many aspects of His initial suffering, the one which
is of particular physiological interest is the bloody sweat. Interestingly enough, the physician, St. Luke, is the
only evangelist to mention this occurrence. He says, "And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. And his
sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground" (Luke 22:44 KJV).
Every attempt imaginable has been used by modern scholars to explain away the phenomenon of bloody sweat,
apparently under the mistaken impression that it simply does not occur. A great deal of effort could be saved by
consulting the medical literature. Though very rare, the phenomenon of hematidrosis, or bloody sweat, is well
documented. Under great emotional stress, tiny capillaries in the sweat glands can break, thus mixing blood
with sweat. This process alone could have produced marked weakness and possible shock.
Although Jesus' betrayal and arrest are important portions of the passion story, the next event in the account
which is significant from a medical perspective is His trial before the Sanhedrin and Caiaphas, the High Priest.
Here the first physical trauma was inflicted. A soldier struck Jesus across the face for remaining silent when
questioned by Caiaphas. The palace guards then blindfolded Him, mockingly taunted Him to identify them as
each passed by, spat on Him, and struck Him in the face.
Before Pilate
In the early morning, battered and bruised, dehydrated, and worn out from a sleepless night, Jesus was
taken across Jerusalem to the Praetorium of the Fortress Antonia, the seat of government of the Procurator of
Judea, Pontius Pilate. We are familiar with Pilate's action in attempting to shift responsibility to Herod Antipas,
the Tetrarch of Judea. Jesus apparently suffered no physical mistreatment at the hands of Herod and was
returned to Pilate. It was then, in response to the outcry of the mob, that Pilate ordered Barabbas released and
condemned Jesus to scourging and crucifixion.
Preparations for Jesus' scourging were carried out at Caesar's orders. The prisoner was stripped of His clothing
and His hands tied to a post above His head. The Roman legionnaire stepped forward with the flagrum, or
flagellum, in his hand. This was a short whip consisting of several heavy, leather thongs with two small
balls of lead attached near the ends of each. The heavy whip was brought down with full force again and
again across Jesus' shoulders, back, and legs. At first the weighted thongs cut through the skin only.
Then, as the blows continued, they cut deeper into the subcutaneous tissues, producing first an oozing
of blood from the capillaries and veins of the skin and finally spurting arterial bleeding from vessels in
the underlying muscles.
The small balls of lead first produced large deep bruises that were broken open by subsequent blows.
Finally, the skin of the back was hanging in long ribbons, and the entire area was an unrecognizable mass
of torn, bleeding tissue. When it was determined by the centurion in charge that the prisoner was near
death, the beating was finally stopped.
Mockery
The half-fainting Jesus was then untied and allowed to slump to the stone pavement, wet with his own
blood. The Roman soldiers saw a great joke in this provincial Jew claiming to be a king. They threw a robe
across His shoulders and placed a stick in His hand for a scepter. They still needed a crown to make their
travesty complete. Small flexible branches covered with long thorns, commonly used for kindling fires in the
charcoal braziers in the courtyard, were plaited into the shape of a crude crown. The crown was pressed into his
scalp and again there was copious bleeding as the thorns pierced the very vascular tissue. After mocking Him
and striking Him across the face, the soldiers took the stick from His hand and struck Him across the head,
driving the thorns deeper into His scalp. Finally, they tired of their sadistic sport and tore the robe from His
back. The robe had already become adherent to the clots of blood and serum in the wounds, and its removal, just
as in the careless removal of a surgical bandage, caused excruciating pain. The wounds again began to bleed.
Golgotha
In deference to Jewish custom, the Romans apparently returned His garments. The heavy patibulum of the cross
was tied across His shoulders. The procession of the condemned Christ, two thieves, and the execution detail of
Roman soldiers headed by a centurion began its slow journey along the route which we know today as the Via

but could not be exhaled. Jesus fought to raise Himself in order to get even one short breath. Finally, the carbon

Spasmodically, He was able to push Himself upward to exhale and bring in life-giving oxygen. It was

for they do not know what they do."
The second - to the penitent thief: "Today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise."
The third - looking down at Mary Jesus' mother, He said: "Woman, behold your son." Then turning to the
terrified, grief-stricken adolescent John, the beloved apostle, He said: "Behold your mother."
The fourth cry is from the beginning of Psalm 22: "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
He suffered hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation,
and searing pain as tissue was torn from His lacerated back from His movement up and down against the rough
timbers of the cross. Then another agony began: a deep crushing pain in the chest as the pericardium, the sac
surrounding the heart, slowly filled with serum and began to compress the heart.
The prophecy in Psalm 22:14 was being fulfilled: "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint,

But the crucifixion was not the end of the story. How grateful we can be that we have a sequel: a glimpse of the
infinite mercy of God toward man -- the gift of atonement, the miracle of the resurrection, and the expectation

Question: What are the three parts of man?
Answer: Spirit, Soul and Body
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds
of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His
own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:26-27 NASB)
According to the Bible, mankind is distinct from all the rest of creation, including the animals, in that he is made in the image of God. As
God is a tripartite -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- so man is three parts --body, soul and spirit. In the most explicit example from
Scripture of these divisions, the Apostle Paul writes:
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without
blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23 NASB).
Man is made up of physical material, the body, that can be seen and touched. But he is also made up of immaterial aspects, which are
intangible -- this includes the soul, spirit, intellect, will, emotions, conscience, and so forth. These immaterial characteristics exist
beyond the physical lifespan of the human body and are therefore eternal.
These immaterial aspects -- the spirit, soul, heart, conscience, mind and emotions -- make up the whole personality. The Bible makes it
clear that the soul and spirit are the primary immaterial aspects of humanity, while the body is the physical container that holds them on
this earth.
The Body (Greek, "soma")

This is the entire material or physical structure of a human being -- it is the physical part of a person.
The Apostle Paul, writing to the Romans again connects the body, the mind (soul) and the spirit.
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is
your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you
may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:1-2 NASB).
For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body (1 Cor. 6:20).
The Soul (Greek, "psyche")

Genesis 2:7 states that Man was created as a "living soul." The soul consists of the mind (which includes the conscience), the will
and the emotions. The soul and the spirit are mysteriously tied together and make up what the Scriptures call the "heart."
The writer of Proverbs declares, " Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life." (Prov. 4:23 NASB). We
see here that the "heart" is central to our emotions and will.
But a natural (psuchikos -- soulish) man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he
cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised (1 Cor. 2:14 NASB).
Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, "Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day"
(Acts 23:1 NASB).
The Spirit (Greek " Pneuma")

In Numbers 16:22, Moses and Aaron, "fell upon their faces and said, 'O God, God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will
you be angry with the entire congregation?'" This verse names God as the God of the spirits that are possessed by all humanity.
Notice also that it mentions the flesh (body) of all mankind, connecting it with the spirit.
Another key verse that describes the separation between soul and spirit is Hebrews 4:12:
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit,
of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb. 4:12 NASB).
We see in this passage of Scripture that the soul and spirit can be divided -- and that it is the Word of God that pierces our heart to
bring the division of soul and spirit, something that only God can do.
As human beings, we live eternally as a spirit, we have a soul, and we dwell in a body. We can rejoice with the Psalmist and declare,
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works, and my soulknows it very well (Ps. 139:13-14 NASB).
All of this is possible because of knowledge. Man hasnt created anything new; hes just discovered the laws that the Lord
established from the beginning. Bird brains have been flying from the start. The same is true with communications,
electricity, computing, and a host of other modern breakthroughs. Man is just discovering the laws God created.
Although mankind has made huge discoveries that have totally changed the way we live, it seems like we know less about
ourselves than previous generations. While our ancestors didnt have all the modern conveniences, they had a peace and
strength that eludes most today. As our knowledge of our natural world has increased, our knowledge of spiritual things
has decreased. In mans arrogance, he blindly believes all of lifes problems can be solved by himself. But there can be no
peace without if there isnt peace within.
There is a whole universe that man in all his wisdom is ignorant of. That is the world of the spirit. And Im not just talking
about the spiritual realm outside of us but also the spiritual being inside of every person. We arent evolved animals; we

were created in Gods image and likeness (Gen. 1:26). We are spirit beings.
Yet sadly, even many Christians have lost this spiritual point of view. Very few Christians know who they are in the spirit. In
fact, they have been taught by religion that they are sinners by naturejust the opposite of what the Bible teaches.
Its true that we were all born sinners (Ps. 51:5) and had the nature of the devil working in us (Eph. 2:2-3). But when we
came to Christ and received salvation, we became a new person in the spirit.
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
This isnt talking about your body. If you were a man before you accepted Christ, you were still a man afterwards. Your
body didnt change. And
your soul, which is what the Bible calls the mental-emotional part of you,
didnt automatically change either. Its subject to change, but you have to renew your mind to
experience change in your mind and emotions.
But in the spirit, you became a brand-new species of being. Your spirit is totally new. There
isnt an old sin nature left in you.
I know this comes as a complete shock to many of you who have been indoctrinated in the-old-nature-versus-the-newnature theology. Most Christians have been taught to believe that after salvation, they are still the same at their core, and
they live the rest of their lives trying to restrain this old nature. They believe they have two natures. Thats schizophrenic,
and it produces Christians who are nothing like Christ.
Paul dealt with this issue in Romans 6. He had so powerfully proved in the preceding chapters that God deals with us by
grace through faith that the logical question was, Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Rom. 6:1). Of
course this is not what Paul was saying, and he gave two reasons in this chapter that Christians should live holy.
The first reason Paul gave simply says,
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:2
What a radical statement! This is not believed by the majority of Christians today. They believe that they are alive to sin
and that it is with much effort, frustration, and failure that they battle this sin nature the rest of their lives. Thats not what
Paul believed.
Paul said that once we are baptized into Christ (Rom. 6:3), we experience a death to our old sin nature. Its dead.
Its gone. It doesnt exist anymore.
I can just hear people saying, What!? Are you crazy? I still struggle with many sins. Im not dead to sin.
I will admit that Christians still sin. Paul made mention of this in this very chapter and dealt with it in more detail in Romans
7. But our nature has been changed. The only reason we still sin is because we dont know these truths (John 8:32).
Our minds are similar to computers in the sense that they can be programmed. And once programmed, they will
continue to function as programmed until we reprogram them. We were all born in sin, and our old sin nature
programmed our minds how to be selfish, bitter, angry, how to lust, etc. When we are born again (John 3:3), we
become totally new in our spirits. This old nature has been completely changed (2 Cor. 5:17). Its not in the
process of becoming new; its already as pure and perfect as Jesus (1 John 4:17, 1 Cor. 6:17, and Eph. 4:24).
Paul called this resurrection life. In Romans 6:5, he said,
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
But in the very next verse, he said we have to know something in order to experience this. The first thing he mentioned is
that our old man is crucified with [Christ] (Rom. 6:6, brackets mine). This isnt something that has yet to happen or that
has to happen over and over; its a done deal. In our new, born-again spirits, we are dead to sin.
Then Paul said,
That the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Romans 6:6
Our sin nature is dead and gone, but it left behind a body. That body is the carnal mind. It will still function as programmed
until we reprogram it. Thats what the Bible calls the renewing of the mind. Our lives are transformed by the renewing of
our minds (Rom. 12:2).
Therefore, victory in the Christian life is as simple as renewing our minds to who we are and what we have
already received in Christ. Its not the struggle of two natures inside of us; we are the way we think (Prov.
23:7). If we see ourselves as old sinners, saved by grace, then we will continue to struggle with sin. But when
we see the total change that took place in our nature, we will manifest that change in our actions.
When we see ourselves as being part devil, we act like it. But when we see who we are in Christi.e., in our
born-again spiritswe become like Him (2 Cor. 3:18 and 1 John 3:2). The way we see ourselves becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
This is the dominant revelation the Lord has used to change my life. I had a life-altering encounter with the Lord on March
23, 1968. The Lord used that to get my attention and show me there was so much more. But its the revelation I received
from the Word on who I have become in my spirit that has made the biggest impression and lasting change in my life. It
has totally changed my identity.
I call this revelation Spirit, Soul & Body. Thats not a catchy phrase, but its descriptive of the way the Lord revealed these
truths to me. Ive come to know Im a spirit being who has a soul and lives in a body. But the real me is my spiritual
person. And its in the spirit that Ive been totally changed and made just like Jesus.
Since God is a Spirit and He deals with me on the basis of who I am in the spirit (John 4:24), this has
changed everything. I now worship God based on who I am in the spirit and not on who I am in my
flesh; i.e., how I act or feel. I now understand how our holy God can truly love me, because in my
born-again spirit, Im totally righteous and holy (Eph. 4:24). My spirit is His workmanship (Eph. 2:10).
Ive discovered that Im redeemed from the Law because the Law wasnt made for a righteous man (1 Tim. 1:9). The Law
was given to show us our need for salvation, but it couldnt save us (Rom. 3:19-21). But what the Law couldnt do, Jesus
did (Rom. 8:3-4), and Im now the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21).
This entitles me to everything God is and has. I have His authority to use, and to the degree that Ive done this, Ive
experienced miraculous results. Im so excited about this that Im trying to let the whole world know these truths.
