Foundational Wholistic (Wholiopathic)
Healing and Restoration for the Spirit
The spirit of a man or a woman is the most powerful dimension of mankind.
The spirit should be governing the soul and keeping the body in check.
This can only effectively be done when the spirit has
experienced a rebirth through the Holy Spirit.
The rebirth through the Holy Spirit is spoken of in The Gospel of John.
John 3
New American Standard Bible
The New Birth
3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 this man came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that
You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless
God is with him.” 3 Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I
say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a person be born when he is old?
He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?”
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water
(Word of God) and the Spirit (Holy Spirit), he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been
born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know
where it is coming from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus responded and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand
these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of
what we have seen, and you people do not accept our testimony.
12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 No one has ascended into heaven, except He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 so that everyone who believes will have eternal life in Him. 16 “For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have
eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to
judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
Jesus said that everyone must experience a transformational
rebirth in their spirit man/woman by the power of the Holy Spirit.
How can this happen? Verses 14 through 16 tells us. The
bronze serpent Moses erected in the desert caused healing in
the people that had sinned. They had to simply gaze at it. That
was symbolic of something better to come, Jesus Christ crucified.
John 3:15 and 16 then says that God so loved the world that
He sent His Son to die (as a serpent, for he who knew no sin
became sin on our behalf)) on the cross for our sins so that we
may be forgiven and be granted eternal life. Jesus is the
second Adam who redeems mankind from the fall of the first Adam.
So how does this rebirth happen? It happens when we
recognize we are sinners in need of the Savior Jesus Christ.
The moment we believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins,
repent and receive Him in our hearts as Lord and Savior, the
Holy Spirit of God regenerates our spirit and gives us a new
birth. The Holy Spirit takes His dwelling in our spirit
man/woman and our spiritual eyes, ears and heart become
alive to God. Redemption takes place.
The reborn spirit is now able to govern the soul and keep the body in check
because the spirit is redeemed where the soul and body has not been totally redeemed yet.
One day they will in the afterlife.
Before the rebirth, the spirit of men and women is dead to God
but alive to the world and Satan. After the rebirth, the spirit
becomes alive to God so he/she (the real you) can enjoy the
presence of ABBA Father God.
God wants everyone to be born again in their spirit so that
communion and intimacy with God can take place.
The whole purpose for salvation in Jesus Christ was to remove
the sin that blocked us from God. But now those who are
reborn are not blocked. They can enjoy the peace, the joy, the
love, the presence, and the power of God forever.
The greatest healing of the spirit is the rebirth.
Wholistic healing is not possible without the rebirth of the spirit.
Once the spirit is reborn in Jesus Christ then complete
wholeness is available spiritually and bodily.
The spirit has the ability to sense the presence of God and
other spirit beings. The spirit knows the difference between
right and wrong (conscience) unless it is seared by hardness of
heart. The spirit is intuitive and can sense things.
The Holy Spirit lives in the reborn spirit and connects the reborn
spirit with God. This is why scripture says that the Spirit within
us bears witness that we are children of God.
The reborn spirit grows and strengthens through the following:
The daily life of praise and worship to God
The daily devotion to the Word of God and prayer
The daily life of piety (love, devotion, and reverence to God in all holiness).
The daily ministry of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ
The daily walk of love towards God and His people
Belonging to a local Church
Fulfilling the calling of God
Pursuing by faith and love the spiritual gifts God has ordained.
The greatest spiritual healing, restoration and growth comes
when we cultivate intimacy with God. This goes beyond
prayer, praise, communion, fellowship, and worship as we know
it. It is an intimacy with God and Jesus Christ by the Holy
Spirit that brings you and I to spiritual intercourse. It is joy
unspeakable and full of glory! God desires it for you and I. We
only need to draw close to Him, ministering to Him by pouring
out our love to Him. This has transforming power in our spiritual
and natural walk. This is wholeness.
1 Corinthians 2:9
New American Standard Bible
9 but just as it is written:
“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HUMAN HEART,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”
Let us draw near to our Creator and experience wholeness to its fullest.
