Chapter 8
What Is Man?
Hebrews 2:6 asks, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him?” Is man really that important to God? The answer is a resounding yes. God has revealed to us what our makeup is.
We have a physical body, and we have a soul that resides in our body that gives us our intelligence and senses. It is the soul’s responsibility to make decisions for the body using the advice from the Holy Spirit or a demonic spirit. We also have a spirit given to us by God that brings life to the body and allows a relationship with God.
But as we study the Bible, we learn that there is more to man than just the body, soul, and spirit. Man was created to live forever, but when he disobeyed God, he was no longer immortal; he was alive physically but dead spiritually.
We found that we have other residents in our being affecting the choices we make. These residents are in what we call our comfort zone, our heart or box. In the beginning, the Holy Spirit was a resident of our comfort zone and provided us eternal life. But the disobedience of Adam and Eve expelled the Holy Spirit from their hearts losing their immortality. Satan immediately replaced the Holy Spirit with one of his demons. From this day forward, mankind was born with a demon as his mentor residing in his heart.

About the Book
God reveals to us His plan of why He created the Universe and why He created you. He reveals to us that we were created to be His servants.
He tells us why Satan rebelled against God and what he did to mankind. Satan captured the Soul of mankind in the Garden of Eden and they became his slaves.
God reveals to us that the tactics Satan used to capture mankind can also be used against Satan to return to God. Satan is not your friend. He just wants to use you in his battle to defeat God and take over His Kingdom.
Satan is a mighty foe, but Satan cannot and will not defeat God. God has abilities that Satan does not have. God knows what Satan’s plans are before Satan puts his plan in motion. God then uses Satan’s plans against him.
God reveals to us that we were created with a body, soul, and spirit. He reveals to us how they work together and how they are influenced to do good or evil.
Get biblically rooted wisdom on understanding God’s plan for creation and learn why the Bible is about more than reading stories with the insights in God’s Agenda.
