John 15:1-16:16 Word Studies Semantic Range (Personality)

Hey All!

GOOD LEARNING DAY YESTERDAY!

As I was waking up this morning, and talking with the Father in a way that resembles prayer, I was moved to something new for my consideration. He made me aware that all of these things we are discussing right now, are a part of our souls that will live eternal. When I made the list yesterday, I had grabbed the terms from several places, having a little bit of knowledge of the old guys thoughts that I was pretty sure the Holy Spirit would cover. Now that list comes together, and God moves me to know that these words are connected in a very, very special way that has relevance to all of us! Ain't that cool!

By the way, I thought we would be covering nature and will some more, but I'm being moved on. I suspect we will be addressing nature and will deeply in the next coming weeks.

We are examining all of these words separately, and combining them in a way that God wants us to associate them for future teachings. Because it was so difficult for us to get this avalanche started yesterday, I'm going to fill in the definitions of our study today. That will give us the opportunity to move quickly to a greater understanding without having to volley terms back and forth.


NATURE REACTS INSTINCTIVELY

WILL CHOOSES PURPOSEFULLY

Personality reflects individuality

Intellect reasons knowledge

Emotion expresses feeling

Self-awareness

Self-determination

Okay, while you guys contemplate these new definitions we are working with, I will come up with another list of words that you can separate out into the various uses of your soul. You can comment if you wish as I prepare!
