Matthew26:41 Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. How did this all happen? In the beginning of the creation when God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life[the spirit]. He said unto Adam, ”of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that you eat to it, you shall surely die.” Genesis2:7 and 17. But they were both tempted. I say “both” were tempted  because Adam called her bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh, because she was taken out of him ; and they became one. [Genesis2:23,24] They were tempted by the devil and did eat the forbidden fruit, and for this reason the war of the spirit and body began. But there is and has always been an instigator between those two; the devil.

I believe that God’s intention for us was to be somewhat like Him, but to oversee the things of the world He created. God said, ”Let us make man in our image, [a person or thing of close resemblance] after our likeness,[a semblance or guise] and let them have dominion over the fish, birds, cattle, creeping things, and over all the earth” [Genesis1:26] God is a spirit, John4:24 tells us. So if we are created in His image and likeness so was Adam and Eve before they had eaten of the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve, I believe, were created with innocence and purity and so such was the spirit within them. They didn’t know that they were naked and they had no shame until God called onto them after they had eaten the fruit.

What people don’t realize is that because of sin, from the temptation and eating of the forbidden fruit, there arose in each and everyone of us , a division within, and without us which is spirit and flesh. It has become a battle for both the spirit and flesh to live in one accord. The serpent came that he may attack the divinity [the spirit] that God had placed in man, in His likeness and image. The true meaning of spirit to me is to be divine. I believe that Adam and Eve even though they were created from the dust of the ground they were light beings. Jesus, when he took Peter, James and John and was transfigured before them, His face did shine as the sun and his raiment was white as the light. Jesus changed on mountain of transfiguration Matthew17:1-9

The spirit only enters into the flesh once the baby is out of the mother’s womb. Take a deep breath, yes the spirit enters into the body at the first breath of a baby. The reason I say this is because while the baby is in the mother ‘s womb, the baby and the mother are one in spirit and flesh and remain that way until separation. What is  the definition of spirit, it is the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul. The Merriam Webster dictionary definition is: the force within a person that is believed to give the body life, energy, and power. The inner quality or nature of a person.First we must understand that spirit has no gender [male or female].It is only when it enters into the flesh [body] and with our physical eyes can we see, our hands can we touch and our ears can we hear whether it’s a boy or girl. The conflict of homosexuality, transgender and any physical or mental illnesses of the flesh is caused by the battling between the spirit and the flesh. One thing I must say is that even though spirit has no gender, it has a forms, good and bad or should I say negative and positive. The contrast between the negative and the positive is what brings life here on earth into existence,  amd they cannot exist without each other. God did not created us entirely with of spirit, we were created out of the ground of the earth, so the earth and us arenjoined together as one because we came out of it, like Eve who became one with Adam because she was created from one of his ribs. If we were created as the angels, spiritual beings of the heavenly foundation, I believe we wouldn’t suffer with the things we doas a result of our earthly foundation.

I believe that the tree of knowledge of good and evil wasn’t for us because of our inherent inability to handle such power. The spirit moves like the wind and the ray of light. The spirit moves swiftly and the body takes its time. We can see this because the body only grows in stages, like it takes nine month for a baby to be formed in its completeness. Adam was as spiritedly form, he didn’t take nine month and so was Eve. We were created part earth[body] and part spirit. When we die our body goes back to the earth and our spirit goes back to the creator [God]. Jesus came so that He can reclaim that which belongs unto God into oneness with Him. Psalm 24:1 tells us, ” The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein.”

The story of Job wasn’t about Jobs wealth, physical body and faith in God only, it was also about his spirit. The devil was using what was around him, [family, friends and wealth] his emotional and physical body [attack of the body with diseases and his mind with vain thoughts] to show God once again, like the eating of the fruit in the garden that the creation of the spirit of man is weak and can be easily persuaded. What God didn’t do with Adam, He sure did with Job by first forming a hedge around him from the devil and installing in him spirit that cannot be moved or persuaded by the devil. God had drawn the line to the devil where man was concern in the story of Job, the code no access as literary spoken into todays vocabulary for the meaning of hedge, blockage or you are blocked from entering into.
