He Had by the Spirit

Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat; and the plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things; also for the division of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord.
(1 Chronicles 28:11-13) NKJV

Now we’re going to bring all of our ideas together and propose a mechanism for the action of spiritual entities. In the passage above King David had by the spirit the plans for building of the temple.

The Mind of the Spirit

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
(Romans 8:26-27) NKJV

Let’s look at the context of the passage. Likewise the Spirit. Spirit is capitalized which means it’s specifically referring to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the comforter which helps us in our weakness.

The Heart and Mind of the Soul

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
(Romans 8:6-8) NKJV

We deduced that the soul is physically gravity, but functionally it’s the mind and heart. As such, souls, including God the father, have a mind and a heart. The separation of mind and heart is a pattern in creation.

Spirits and Gravity

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
(Romans 8:5) NKJV

We previously developed the rationale that spiritual messengers, referred to sometimes as angels, are a combination of spirit (vapor) and soul (gravity). This was described in the post Holograms, Relativity and the Soul.

Biblical Exposition

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
(2 Timothy 2:15) KJV

Biblical exposition is a tricky business. It’s also something that’s not to be taken lightly. In general, taking one passage from the Bible, imputing a meaning to it, and then building a doctrine on it is exactly what you DON’T do.

O Lord, Search my Kidneys

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
(Revelation 2:23) KJV

It may seen random or coincidental that the two meanings of the word reins: a bridle for a horse; or the kidneys, can be both be part of a physiological process which can guide and influence us.

O Lord, Try my Kidneys

But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
(Jeremiah 11:20) KJV

The heart is the seat of our drive and motivation which accomplishes it’s purpose by pumping blood around our body. The blood is subject to the influence of chemical compounds, spirits, that can be absorbed in a variety of ways.

Kidneys are Reins on our Heart

And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.
(Exodus 29:13) KJV

We can imagine God holding our spiritual reins like the harness of a horse and directing us. However, there’s another way to understand the reins which ties into our developing hypotheses of the operation of the human body.

The Nations Shall Gather at Jerusalem

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
(Jeremiah 3:17) KJV

There will come a time when God will intervene in human affairs in a very real way. There will be a time of ongoing catastrophes during which there will be chaos, death and suffering unlike anything that has ever been seen.

Imagine Peace

They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
(Jeremiah 23:17) KJV

Our other god, popular science (SciPop), wants you to think that there’s no God, no judgment, no hell, nothing to worry about. Be at peace, nothing bad is going to happen to you.
