HOW OUR SPIRIT MAN GROWS
5/15/11
We have been told in
scripture to grow up/ build up our spirits and so this
teaching is about how our spirit grows.
WE
ARE CREATED WITH 3 PARTS: SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY
1 Thess 5:23-24
Now may the God of peace
Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole
spirit,
soul, and body be preserved blameless at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is
faithful, who also will do it.
Philem 25
The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Rom 8:14-17
For as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For
you did not receive the spirit of bondage again
to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption
by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit
Himself bears witness with
our spirit
that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then
heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if
indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified
together.
Heb 4:12-13
For the word of God is
living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing even to the
division of soul and
spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And
there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all
things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we
must give account.
When the Lord created Adam,
He created him a living being. This Hebrew word has its
roots in being a living breath. When a person dies and
takes his last breath, it is his breath that literally
leaves his body. That breath is our spirit.
Gen 2:7
And the Lord God formed
man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
being.
OT:5315 BEING
nephesh (neh'-fesh); from
OT:5314; properly, a breathing creature, i.e. animal of
(abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal,
accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental):
KJV - any, appetite, beast,
body, breath, creature, dead (-ly), desire, [dis-]
contented, fish, ghost, greedy, he, heart (-y),
(hath, jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man,
me, mind, mortally, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-,
him-, my-, thyself-), them (your)- selves, slay, soul,
tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, would have it.
OT:5314 BREATHE
naphash (naw-fash'); a
primitive root; to breathe; passively, to be breathed
upon, i.e. (figuratively) refreshed (as if by a current
of air):
KJV - (be) refresh selves (-ed).
Zech 12:1-2
Thus says the
Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation
of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:
OUR SPIRIT BYPASSES OUR
BRAINS
The spirit part of us - we do
not remember, recall or understand with our intellect.
We have been told to build and grow up our spirit man,
yet because our spirit man bypasses our minds or
realization of what is going on, we need to know how to
built this part of our being.
1 Cor 14:2-3
For he who speaks in a
tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one
understands him; however, in the
spirit
he speaks mysteries.
1 Cor 14:14-15
For if I pray in a tongue,
my spirit prays,
but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the
conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and
I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing
with the spirit, and I will also sing with the
understanding.
NT:3563 UNDERSTANDING
nous (nooce); probably from
the base of NT:1097; the intellect, i.e. mind (divine or
human; in thought, feeling, or will); by implication
meaning:
KJV - mind, understanding.
Compare NT:5590.

CLOCK TIME: 2:12 chariot wheel
0212 'owphan {o-fawn'} or (shortened) 'ophan {o-fawn'}
¤ from an unused root meaning to revolve; TWOT - 146a; n
m
¤ AV - wheel(s) 35, fitly 1; 36
¤ 1) wheel 1a) chariot wheel 1b) wheel in Ezekiel's
vision 1c) wheels of the ten bases beneath the lavers in
Solomon's temple
The clock time of 2:12 is chariot wheel.
HEARD: Welcome. The Spirit bids me welcome.
TRANCE: I was taken up to the Lord last night.
Just as it happened, I was slain under His power,
saying, “Jesus!!” I remembered seeing things on earth
below as we departed into the heavens. I remember
hearing a LOT of things, but have NO memory of what.
I remember this happening to Annie, sometimes the Lord
would tell her a lot, but she was only allowed to
remember a small portion of it when she came back to
earth.
I have wondered about that. Our spirit man sits in
heavenly places and is one with the Lord, and it
knows. But on earth, we must overcome our flesh and
part of the training of such is the exercise of our free
will and our faith.
Eph 2:6-7 NKJV
...and raised us up together, and made us sit
together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus...
PIX: I saw a stack of progressive “to go”
restaurant boxes, with the largest on the bottom, and
the smallest on top.
He is building His home inside of me, my spirit man that
will be built one Word/ meal at a time. Jesus Christ is
my foundation, the Word is which we build and grow up in
Him.
TRANSLATED TO THE THRONE 2/11/98
My Love, I have promised you many journeys to My throne
room. And you have already been here many times. I
have allowed you to remember snipits of those times, so
that you will know that I fulfill My Word in your life.
But those things that you have not remembered, do not
regret. I have ordained exactly what you shall remember
and exactly what you are not be able to resurrect to
your natural mind. Your spirit man remembers everything
so do not worry about your destiny.
“This boasting is all so foolish, but let me go on.
Let me tell about the visions and revelations I received
from the Lord. 2 I was caught up into the third heaven
fourteen years ago. 3 Whether my body was there or just
my spirit, I don't know; only God knows. 4 But I do know
that I was caught up into paradise and heard things so
astounding that they cannot be told.” (2 Cor 12:1-5 NLT)
OUR SPIRITS ARE
CONSTRUCTED AND BUILT UP LIKE A HOUSE
Wayne was raised up as a home
builder and we built our own home when we were first
married. Building a house has so many facets and
stages; each stage of building is dependant upon the
other stages being completed in chronological order. In
the same fashion,
our spirit man grows.
WORD TO PONDER:
GROWING UP IN THE LORD 11/4/94
Your spirit man is growing from the inside out and you
will one day grow so big that it will break all the
yokes surrounding you.
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his
burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and
his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be
destroyed because of the anointing.” (Isa 10:27 KJV)
VISIONS ABOUT OUR SPIRIT MAN GROWING
WHAT CAN WE DO TO CAUSE
OUR SPIRIT MAN GROW or BE BUILT?
The following scriptures use
this word, "edify" which means to be built up just like
building a house, from the ground upwards.
NT:3618 TO EDIFY
oikodomeo (oy-kod-om-eh'-o);
from the same as NT:3619; to be a house-builder, i.e.
construct or (figuratively) confirm:
KJV - (be in) build (-er, -ing,
up), edify, embolden.
NT:3619
oikodome (oy-kod-om-ay');
feminine (abstract) of a compound of NT:3624 and the
base of NT:1430; architecture, i.e. (concretely) a
structure; figuratively, confirmation:
KJV - building, edify (-ication,
-ing).
NT:3624
oikos (oy'-kos); of uncertain
affinity; a dwelling (more or less extensive, literal or
figurative); by implication a family (more or less
related, literal or figuratively):
KJV - home, house (-hold),
temple.
NT:1430
doma (do'-mah); from demo (to
build); properly, an edifice, i.e. (specially) a roof:
KJV - housetop.
1) PRAYING & SINGING IN TONGUES / THE HOLY SPIRIT
BUILDS US
1 Cor 14:4
He who speaks in a tongue
edifies himself.
1 Cor 14:14-16
For if I pray in a
tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding
is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will
pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the
understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I
will also sing with the understanding.
Jude 20-21
But you, beloved,
building yourselves up on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Spirit.

RECEIVING

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SPEAKING IN TONGUES
2) LOVE BUILDS US
1 Cor 8:1
Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know
that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but
charity edifieth.
Eph 4:16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according
to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love.
3) PROPHESY AND GOOD WORDS BUILDS US
1 Cor 14:1-5
Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but
especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in
a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one
understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks
mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks edification
and exhortation and comfort to men. 4 He who speaks in a
tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies
the church. 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but
even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is
greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed
he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
Eph 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of
your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the
hearers.
========
THE SPIRIT OF PROPHESY IS
THE REPORT OF JESUS
1 Cor 14:31-33
For you can all prophesy
one by one, that all may learn and all may be
encouraged. And the spirits of the prophets are
subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of
confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the
saints.
Rev 19:10
For the testimony
of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
Rev 1:4-5
John, to the seven
churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from
Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the
seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and
from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn
from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the
earth.
NT:3141 TESTIMONY
marturia (mar-too-ree'-ah);

case):
KJV - record, report,
testimony, witness.

WORD TO PONDER: COURAGE 3/17/98 (I BUILD YOU UP
WITH MY WORDS)
I desire to build you beyond your present state. This
can not happen without your cooperation. Widen your
heart, increase your capacity to receive what I have to
say.
You separate us by placing walls of smallness around
yourself. You think that if I were to speak important
Words to you or about you that this might build pride.
But this is a lie of the enemy, desiring to keep you
thwarted. He is very afraid of this hour for he knows
that I AM building a mighty army, fully equipped with
weapons of destruction. The enemy will do everything to
keep your perspective small, fearful and full of defeat.
By way of comparison, if you were to draw a tree
depicting what you consider your stature, you might
think of a tall hedge or a fruit tree. But I say
taller, and even taller still. Picture the strength,
might and majesty of the tallest redwood trees, and then
grow taller. The might and power of your spirit man can
grow as tall as the tallest mountains. But I need your
cooperation to receive the Words I speak into your life.
When I speak Words of courage and valor and bravery and
might into your life, then swallow them. When I speak
your calling, then receive it. When I say you have
authority, than practice it . When I say you can pull
down strongholds, then believe it. When I say you can
move mountains, then accept it. This doesn’t happen
overnight. It happens by steps and degrees of your
willingness to believe and practice what I give in
perfect increments.
What I AM building is an army that can face giants in
the land. With the power and dominion of who they have
become, this army will ultimately defeat those giants.
They will grow to surpass all odds and all obstacles no
matter how tall. For they have grown taller than the
obstacles. They have chosen to believe My Words spoken
over them. Believe it, when I say a mighty army, I mean
a mighty army.
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of
righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye
shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And
ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes
under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do
this, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Malachi 4:2-3)
4) PEOPLE BUILD US
Rom 14:19
Let us therefore follow after the things which make
for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Rom 15:2
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good
to edification.
1 Thess 5:11
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another,
just as you also are doing.
Since our associations with people help build our spirit
man, it is very important that we make healthy choices
in our times of fellowship. The Lord once told me that
associating with a certain person was unhealthy for me
because the unbelief in that person was cankering my own
faith. I did not accept or understand that and it took
me a long time to understand why.
This person was yoked in unbelief and no matter what I
shared of what heard or saw from the Lord seemed to help
this person. The lack of feedback, thankyous,
enthusiasm and reciprocal fellowship began to decay my
own faith because I realized the Words were hitting a
brick wall. This decayed my faith and passion and I
realized that instead of being built up, I was being
torn down due to the unbelieving spirit in that person.
So I changed and turned to prayer for that person
instead of personal communications. I am instead
standing on God's promise that this person will one day
grow up in the Lord and become equally yoked in faith.
1 Cor 15:33 AMP
Do not be so deceived and
misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations)
corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and
character.
2 Cor 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked
together with unbelievers.
HEARD:
A team effort. Respond to what you have.
Confirm the feeble knees.
Pay attention. Build up. Unload My tools. Hundreds
of them. We are committed to being together. Body.
Would you want to do it? Unload them all. Would you
want to? Traveling. I don't know how to do it.
Awesome. 100's of them. Across the nation. You bet.
5) GOD BUILDS US
1 Peter 2:4-6
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed
by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as
living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a
holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the
word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to
give you an inheritance among all them which are
sanctified.
1 Cor 3:9-11
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's
husbandry, ye are God's building. 10 According to the
grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another
buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he
buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man
lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Eph 2:20-22
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner
stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together
groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye
also are builded together for an habitation of God
through the Spirit.
========
6/02/07 LIVING STONES, LIVING SONS
Heaven and earth. Builder. Getting us a helper.
Settling in. Living stones, perfect fit. Let’s put the
pieces together. Prepared. And you cant put them
back. Fit snugly. It behooved Him to bring many sons
to glory. Yes My footmen. All over the earth walking.
Fully manifested. My grace. Equipped. Such a show has
never been seen. Treasures galore. I saw hands moving
through many colored gems and valuables. See them one
by one. Inspect this, it’s real. Genuine article, 100
proof. My creations. It’s such a joy to watch them.
Me in them, fully. Cant undo them. Rank. Fit snugly.
Precisely where they belong. Keeping My sons.
851 of them {in the sense of obedience; cut
off, take away} My grace. Manifested grace. Great
grace walks with them. My sons. Beloved. Treasures in
the earth. They’re the forerunners taking their
places. Shouts of grace, grace. Great grace among
them.
WORD TO PONDER: LIVING STONES 6/02/07
After having been set aside, carved and prepared you
with My image, I AM sending angelic helpers to set you
into place. You are My living stones, and I AM placing
you to fit snugly into position within My living temple,
even as My body functions with every joint and sinew
fitting perfectly together as one. Let not man put
asunder what I have joined together. It is a snug fit,
no refunds and no returns. It is fitting to Me, that I
precisely fit many sons, rank and file, into My glory.
They are Mine! Look at them carefully, I have prepared
My jewels as My genuine creation, walking in the
fullness of their 100 fold promises. I AM sending them
as transparent vessels of loving faith. They are My
feet, walking the earth to show My love, My ways,
Myself. They are My sons, the manifestation of My Name.
I AM keeping My sons, they bring Me such joy!
1 Peter 2:4-5 NKJV
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed
by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as
living stones , are being built up a spiritual house, a
holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Eph 2:19-22 NKJV
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and
members of the household of God, 20 having been built on
the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom
the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a
holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being
built together for a dwelling place of God in the
Spirit.
6) STAY AWAY FROM WHAT IS
NOT EDIFYING
1 Cor 10:23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not
expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things
edify not.
========
8/30/06 DOES IT BUILD OR TEAR DOWN?
PIX:
I saw a covering meant to hold back a landslide.
HEARD:
Help us to keep away from all that is not
edifying. Does it build? Does it help?
WORD TO PONDER: IN DANGER OF A LANDSLIDE 8/30/06
Precious one, build a covering around your loved ones by
staying away from all that is not edifying. Ask
yourself, does this build? Does this help? What you
listen to is what they hear. What you speak is how they
will speak. Is this something that builds character,
thought life, morals, choices? Does it encourage and
inspire living a holy and scriptural life? Help your
children stay away from danger by building a hedge to
protect them with your own godly choices.
Phil 4:8 KJV
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there
be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things.
Eph 4:29-32 NKJV
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but
what is good for necessary edification , that it may
impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy
Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of
redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor,
and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
1 Thess 5:11 NKJV
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another,
just as you also are doing.
