God has a Soul

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. Job 23:13 (KJV)

Have you ever considered that God has a soul? Yes, that should be a thrilling revelation if you have not considered it before.

According to 1 Thessalonians 5:23, man is a tripartite being, much like God. It reads: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (KJV).

In John 4:24 we find that, "God is a Spirit." This Spirit Being has a soul. The soul consists of the will, intellect and emotions. Scripture is full of examples of God displaying will, intellect and emotion.

What God, the Father, does not have is a flesh and blood nor a flesh and bone body. Now, however, God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) does have a body of flesh and bone because the resurrected Jesus has a body. There is now a Man in heaven.

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Luke 24:39 (KJV)

The Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) is One: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD" Deut. 6:4 (KJV). The One LORD (YHWH)

"is in one ('echad) mind." This Hebrew word, 'echad, means: one after another, once for all, one by one. This confirms our understanding of the Triune God ('elohiym = Gods [plural intensive-singular] or "the true triune God).

The Father and the Holy Ghost are Spirit and the Son is Spirit with a body. The Eternal Godhead is inseparable and of "one mind, and who can turn Him?"

Because God has a soul, He can love you, cherish you, think thoughts of good toward you, make plans for you (Jer. 29:11), determine to bless you, and speak to you. That is a wonderful revelation to consider today!Link
