THE BODY is the shell that affects how we live.<br> <br> GOD RENEWED MY PASSION IN THIS AREA: If we allow addictions to control our attitude and productivity, it will hinder what we do for God. When we’re always dealing with stress, anxiety and sickness, can we do much for God?<br> <br> WHY wouldn’t the devil what to severely hinder productivity? Does your mood (the way you feel) affect productivity and quality of life?<br> <br> <br> Serotonin. Dopamine. Glutamate. Noradrenaline.<br> <br> <br> <br> 2. THE SOUL is our distinct personality; nephesh in Hebrew, and psyche in Greek.<br> <br> This is said to be the part that is eternal – SPIRIT and SOUL are often interchangeable.<br> <br> Isaiah 26:9, “With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early…”<br> <br> <br> HEART (kardia): the governing aspect of the body that controls conduct.<br> <br> <br> <br> Mark 12:30, “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength….”<br> <br> 3. THE SPIRIT refers to our interaction with God – pneuma; it is sometimes interchangeable with the word “soul.”<br> __________________________<br> <br> Sin and the Curse: to inflict harm or punishment<br> <br> Genesis 3:1-7 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes,
