LIBERATING THE SOUL
OLUBI JOHNSON
Matthew 11:28-30 KJV
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Recall that even though our spirits are born-again (Jn. 3:6), our souls still need to be saved or, liberated from the dominion of the sin-nature (Jas. 1:21).
What is a saved or liberated soul?
A soul in which the will is free to do the will of God: not under the power or compulsion or addiction of any habit (1Cor. 6:12, 7:37).
The mind is fully enlightened with the life of God, so has the humility and the ability of the mind of Christ (1Cor. 2:16; Eph. 4:18).
The emotions are fully controlled by the fruit of the Spirit (Rom. 14:17; Eph. 5:9).
We are to save or, liberate our souls because this is the goal of our faith (1Pet. 1:9).
Also, the saving of our souls is the key to having all our physical and material needs met (Matt. 6:33; 3Jn. 1:2).
We save or, liberate our souls by the patient or consistent application of the blood, the Word and power of the Holy Spirit, through daily confession of and forsaking of sin (Prov. 28:13), prayer in the Spirit with all types of prayer and travail (Gal. 4:19), reading, meditating and confessing of the written Word (Prov. 4:20-22).
The blood gives access to the life of God. The life of God is then converted to the power of godliness as we confess the Word, pray in tongues and with travail. The power of godliness then liberates us to act like God in thought, word and deed!
The saving, or liberating of the soul, which is also synonymous with entering the Kingdom: the total dominion of righteousness, peace and joy (Rom. 14:17) in the soul, is a gradual, internal process.
Luke 21:19 KJV
In your patience possess ye your souls.
