We were originally created so that the Spirit would be the head and rule the soul, the soul would then rule the flesh, the flesh would then obey, this is still the way God wants born again christians to live as this is and was the way Jesus Christ lived.
As unbelievers our spirits are dormant and have very little effect on our flesh or our souls as our souls lack the direction of a living spirit, the soul then is primarily influenced by its self and its wants via indulging our emotions, and the wants of the flesh through what we choose to do with our bodies.
The soul is the seat of a person’s intellect, personality, emotions, feelings, wants and desires, thus pertaining to his man-conscious existence, without the spirit to influence the soul it is influenced by the flesh and the world, and as this worlds God is Satan, it is his spiritual influence that influences our soul, our actions, and our willingness to exert our will towards what we want, what we desire and what we consider to be good as per Satans whispering.
Once we have chosen to live in Christ, he sends us the Holy Spirit, whom chooses to indwell us with his presence and through his influence our spirt is regenerated and is energized by Gods will for us and his instructions for our lives, through our spirits connection with Gods Holy Spirit, it is here that we connect to God personally and where we communicate with him intimately, It is now we are expected to give control of our soul to God, by allowing our Spirit to fully influence our soul and in-tern our will, so that as we choose to obey God our soul obeys the spirits commands and asserts control over the flesh, to deny the flesh is to deny Satan to deny the soul is to deny self, once we learn to deny flesh and self we achieve the spirits desire for us and our lives. That is to live as christ, as Born Again Christians.
