The Human Being created by God are tripartite in nature. Life in this perspective is in three form. And that is the tripartite nature of man, the spirit,soul and body. Man is a spirit that has a soul/mind and lives in the body or flesh. So man have three life pattern, a life in the spirit, a life in the soul and a life in the flesh... After that God built the body of man, He breathe (the breath of) Life into his nostrils. At the end Man fell through the sin of disobedience and the Spirit of (God in) man died.(Gen 2:17)"but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." When God said they would die, he was not referring to the physical body he moulded from the dust, but the Spirit in man, and after that man fell, the spirit of man died (the spirit left their physical body and the physical body was dead to the voice of the spirit).
In the new testament concept, A man who is not born again has a soul and body. But the breath of life that will make him alive in the spirit is not there until he receives Jesus Christ as his Lord and saviour to blot out his sins. After accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, the breath of life comes in because sin is out of him and his spirit is activated.
After that, such person can live as it was in the beginning in the garden of Eden, the Holy Spirit, the person of God that owns the ministry of the new testament is now in him. When the Holy Spirit comes in to your life, you are now fully alive to God. Through Him (The Holy Spirit), He (God) controls, governs and takes over the rule according to the level of your submission.
In essence, the foundation of Spiritual Quotient/Intelligence is knowing that you are in three folds, Spirit, Soul and Body. And the YOU in you is the Spirit. You are a Spirit that lives in the Flesh.
One will want to ask these questions, If I am a Spirit, how come I can still Perceive feelings? How come I am still Emotional?
Well, the answer is simple, part of the making of Man is this thing called Emotion. Remember, God created man in His image and part of God is the ability to be touched with feelings. How do we know this, we know this through the Love Showed to humanity, after the fall of man, God out of compassion, feelings and love for us, looked for a way to bring us back to His kingdom.(Hebrew 14 vs 15) "For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation..." That is Jesus Christ, God the son. Jesus Christ is our high priest and He understands our feelings, because Him also can percieve feelings. Right, Everything God created is good. But the fall of man gave chance to devil to pollute man. Negative and excessive Emotions are definitely not from God. It can not be found in the spirit God created, but in the flesh which devil has access to.
However, ruling over negative Emotions is simple. Yes, very simple. All you need to do is allow the Holy Spirit to rule your life, if He rules, He moves all the bads away.
