Managing your Soul

Build with Hari Rao

Today's teaching will equip us with insight and keys on how we can manage our soul well.
In order to have dominion over our entire being, we must learn to manage our soul effectively. Our body is designed to function in the visible realm through the senses. Although the body is capable of making choices, it is the soul that steers the body, influencing its actions and decisions, essentially making the body an extension of your soul and mind.
When you engage in the act of sinning, your soul and mind have contemplated it multiple times before your body acts on it. Your body merely follows the lead of your soul. This mental processing happens swiftly, and we rarely fully grasp its complexity.

A poorly managed soul lacks prioritization and is perpetually short on time. Conversely, a well-managed, developed soul can effectively accomplish tasks because this war is managed, as there is a silence and stillness to your soul.
It is your spirit that rules over your soul. Your soul is a super conductor to your spirit, it is tuned to detect even subtle shifts within it. However, your soul accumulates an excess of information, making it challenging when the spirit communicates. It's not just about hearing God's voice, but how you interpret the information. Accurate interpretation hinges on effective soul management. While God speaks in the language of spirit, your soul uses human languages, so when God's spirit communicates, it passes through the language your soul can comprehend. A well-managed and renewed soul is receptive to direct communication with the spirit, much like how God spoke to Moses face to face.
Your soul was designed to have fellowship with the spirit. The more your soul yields to the spirit, the greater dominion it has over the flesh and the more efficiently it can lead your body.
Your soul encompasses all your creative abilities, decision-making skills, and the capacity to process and interpret information. It relies on imagination and cognitive power to comprehend the greatness of the Spirit that’s communicating with you. Your soul has the assignment to decode the divine in partnership with the Spirit. While God dwells in your spirit, the soul serves as the point of contact. How you manage your soul reflects how you manage your life. What you permit in your physical surroundings mirrors what you've allowed into your soul. If you're at ease with chaos around you, it's likely because you've grown accustomed to managing chaos within your soul.
The world encourages you to acknowledge and adapt to your circumstances. God, on the other hand, desires to reveal His Spirit to your soul. When your soul aligns with His superior Spirit, it acquires the qualities of that higher spirit, making what was once difficult now effortless through this supernatural grace. God's plan is not just to provide a coping mechanism for you but to transform your soul to resemble His.

Keys to manage your soul better :
1. Manage your environment: Your soul relies on your physical body to influence the natural world. Take charge of your surroundings by using your body intentionally. If you lack dominion in a particular environment, remove yourself from it. Ensure your environment reflects a prophetic vision of the future, let it resemble heaven on earth.
2. Manage your conversations: Exercise wisdom and intentionality in your conversations, as words possess the ability to shape your soul. Your soul reflects the words you both speak and hear.
3. Soul submission: Consider who holds authority over your soul, for the one you submit to, shapes your soul. Your soul is molded by the voice it adheres to, so choose that voice wisely through prayer. In Christ, you can be both unique and united with others.
4. Feeding your soul: Your soul is a reflection of how you are consuming the Word of God. The word of God is a primary way to manage your soul, it is shaped depending on how you consume, retain and interpret the Word.
