Protect Your Spirit

[Proverbs 18:14 KJV] “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?”

I am sure that by now you know that man is tripartite: you are living soul, you live in a body, and you have a spirit. The body is the vehicle that carries us about and allows us to operate in the earth realm. The soul is the emotion, intellectual, and reason part. The spirit is that which connects us to the higher powers of the supernatural. When the body gives up, life on earth ends.

The scripture teaches that the spirit of a man will sustain him in the day of adversity. The spirit of a man shall keep him when he feels sick and broken, but a wounded spirit has no remedy. No man can bear the pain of a wounded spirit, hence the need to protect your spirit from wounds and hurts.

We must protect our spirits from getting hurt, broken or wounded. Your spirit is a very important part of you; it is your defense and shield in the day and moment of adversity. Your spirit will bear you in the day of adversity, but when the spirit is wounded, you have lost what can defend you, and you cannot easily survive. You must, therefore, guard your spirit and keep it from wounds. I pray that the Lord shall touch and heal every spirit that is wounded. Be preserved from hurt and adversity. May the Lord heal your broken-heartedness! May your spirit be strengthened to keep you from failing!

May the Lord keep you from the many things that wound the spirit; deferred hopes, bad news, deceit from friends and family, etc! May the Lord preserve you! May He keep you from falling! Be healed! Be restored! May you be strengthened, Amen!

Remember, that your spirit will sustain you in infirmity, but no one can bear a wounded spirit. By this, the scriptures are teaching us that a healthy spirit conquers adversity, but that there is nothing you can do when your spirit is crushed? When your spirit is healthy, you can pull through in adversity. You can conquer adversity when your spirit is healthy, but what can you do when you are broken and crushed within even before calamity strikes. I pray that you will not allow anything to wound your spirit. Your spirit is so important in surviving adversity, so guard it.

Be blessed, I love you!
