God of the Spirits of All Flesh

Num.27:16-17
16 "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation 17 who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the LORD may not be as sheep that have no shepherd."Most of the human race thinks in terms of ourselves as a physical body. Until we read and study the bible, we never take into account that, being made by God, He designed a body and a spirit, the body meant to die and the spirit meant to live eternally, and just what the implications are of having an eternal life. It is a great and deep mystery, this body we live in! It hides a soul inside that man can not find. The soul can not be seen as can different organs of the body. It is indeed a spirit. This is what is changed when you trust in Christ. The spirit will then show the outward change to the world. Thus, You are a new creation in Christ. Christ sent the comforter to be our ever present help, to guide us, to help keep us from yielding to temptation and to show the world Himself! We still have the human side that fails but we also have a spirit of repentance that leads to forgiveness when we do fail.Luke 6:45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.Romans 8:2-6because the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.  What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin's domain, and as a sin offering,  in order that the law's requirement would be accomplished in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.  For those whose lives are according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those whose lives are according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.  For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.2 Cor.5:16-18From now on, then, we do not know anyone in a purely human way. Even if we have known Christ in a purely human way, yet now we no longer know Him like that. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.  Now everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation
1 John 2:19-27
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.  I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Messiah? He is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.  No one who denies the Son can have the Father; he who confesses the Son has the Father as well. What you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father.  And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.  I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. The anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you don't need anyone to teach you. Instead, His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie; just as it has taught you, remain in Him.
Lord, Your Word is good! We ask for the souls You are calling. Help us to be aware of the ones who need You. Put Your Word in our mouth and loose our tongues! Amen
