How do I work. All things have mechanisms that make them function. Some things have many mechanisms and the sum of those mechanisms make one whole unit; but what about me, how do I work; what makes me tick?
We are designed; as complex as it seems, and if you believe it or not, the finished product from a blueprint, engineered with many mechanical parts created by a higher power; no different than a car that was assembled on an assembly line, and just like a car, unable to operate without the fuel.
The fuel that makes us work is the Breath of God, (Genesis 2:7). God breathed the breath of life into the man/our nostrils and the man/we becoming a living soul.
As long as the Breath of God is in us, we will function as a living being/soul. Remove that — God’s Breath, and this highly-engineered mechanism of flesh will stop and drop like a rock in water; as fast as gravity can pull it down; just as a car empty of its fuel.
Knowing that, it’s quite apparent we can’t function without God. The fuel/Breath of God is what’s holding us together. I hope you understand this? There is no seeing, there is no hearing, there is no tasting, there is no touching, there is no smelling, and there is no living soul without the Breath of God functioning inside of you.
So, what is this breath? How can breath do these things? Well, the word for breath in the Hebrew language is ghost. The breath of God is the Holy Ghost/Spirit. God blew into our nostrils the Holy Ghost and we became a living soul.
We’re not what we see in the mirror, we’re what we can’t see — nor understand if not saved, but it’s essential to believe this because it’s true and happening. Sadly, how blind are the people in denial.
We are of God period. Do we make choices that contradict this fact — yes? This mechanism is easily influenced because of its design, but is it a flaw — no? This mechanism’s design has free will as part of its engineering. This free will enables us to refuse the truth because of influences but is no less a creation of God. There’s nothing about us separate from God. He’s with us and into every act and every choice to influence truth by way of the Holy Ghost/Spirit – His Breath.
This is why He can say I’ll never leave you or forsake you, (Hebrews 13:5,6). He can’t leave you. We are because He is; without Him there is no us or a working physical body. Let me add.
The only reason we can entertain anything contradictory to God is because we don’t fear Him. He will not strike us down or open the Earth and swallow us up as He did in the Old Testament before Jesus, and it’s because of Jesus we’re able to treat God as a wuss — without those things happening; a phase — short of choice, we all go through, and some remain, but we’d better think again.
If you are a living soul, and you/we are, it’s because of God; there’s no getting around it, and to not take it seriously but foolishly or lightly as we sometimes do, is a lack of respect, disbelief, and having no honor for God all mighty, plus ignorant to what makes us tick.
Will we be separated from our physical body — yes, but very much alive because what makes us tick returns to the owner for another phase according to Jesus, (2nd Corinthians 5:8).
After the separation from the physical body, a meeting will be held between you and God called judgment if you don’t have confirmation to go further, (Hebrews 9:27). If you do have confirmation, you’ll be given keys to a mansion, amongst other things, (John 14:2). You’ve been pardoned and judgment is not for you.
At that time the mechanism called your body would have been reworked and re-engineered, and what makes it tick – the real you with the Breath of God, will be re-implanted — similarly to the way it was when it was inserted into your earthly body, but not by birth, but by a rebirth you obtained while still alive in time. Glory be to God.
