Do you see this? David: I have other things calling my attention right now, but this did not

What I meant to say is that the flesh is not swept COMPLETELY clean until
the resurrection, and
this is in contrast to the spirit which is swept clean completely, and the
soul which progressively
is cleaned as the new spirit takes over. Until later...
jt: At one time I would have agreed 100% having
been taught that when the Holy Spirit comes
to indwell our human spirit that this is completely
cleansed and dependable so we could always
rely upon the leading
of our spirit. Certain faith teachers taught
this. However I then saw a lot of
flaky things going on in
charismatic circles where ppl believed this way with
never a correction
or retraction and this
became a cause for stumbling in my life and
for others I know. I also learned
that born again ppl
including pastors and choir members were in
need of spiritual help and had
received prayer for
deliverance in the past which showed me that I needed to make some
adjustments in my own thinking. I've heard all the
arguments about whether the devil is on the
shoulder in the pew etc. but he is spirit and basically
spirit communes with spirit. I then
became apparent in the Word of God that
sanctification involved spirit as well
as soul and body.
Actually it was there all the time but the doctrine had
blinded my eyes so that I did not see it.
