FACTS ABOUT MAN
Man kind has a Tri-Level Existence – Body, Soul and Spirit.
Body – Physical subject to basic needs: (e.g. Food, water, shelter, clothing, etc.
Soul – Emotions/Mind with basic needs: (e.g. Touch, Companionship, Sense of Purpose, Security, Emotional Support for others, etc..)
Spiritual – Consciousness with basic needs: (e.g. Morals, Ethics etc.
These three interact with each other as we walk through life.
Physically - Man is driven to fill their basic needs. As man ages, they become more aware of the workings of the Soul and Spirit. Most individuals exist only to satisfy the Physical and Soul realms – without or very little Spiritual awareness, but are driven equally as much by its needs.
Soul: The Soul drivers are explained by most Sociologist today as one experiencing feelings of Bitterness, Sorrow, Grief, etc., which produce physical effects, (e.g. translates into action).
Spiritual: Man learns over time, through education and other internal/external environmental factors what it takes to survive, (e.g. Morals, Ethics, a sense of Right and Wrong driven to obtain basic needs).
THEREFORE, MAN’S EXISTANCE HAS THREE LEVELS TO THEIR BEING:
The Physical – Level 1
The Soul – Level 2
The Spirit – Level 3

Each acting in concert with one-another, each with their own set of needs influencing thoughts and actions.

Answer the following questions AFTER reading Revelation 3:20
Holy Spirit
Revelation 3:20 Questions:
1. Who is Speaking? Jesus is Speaking.
2. What Door is it? The door to your heart/life.
3. What is He [Jesus] Doing? Knocking.
4. Why is He Knocking? Wants to come.
5. If we open the door, What will he do? Come in and sup with me.
6. If someone wanted to open the door, When do we open the door?
[Hint: When you hear the knocking]
7. If someone wanted to talk to Christ, How would he do it?. . .[Pray].
8. Can you think of any reason why someone would not want to ask Jesus Christ into their life?
9. Which Side of the bridge are you on? Left side or Right side?
Revelation 3:20 questions continued:
10. If you wanted to ask Christ into your life, when could you do it? When you hear the knocking.
11. Can you think of any reason why not to ask Christ into your life?
12. Would you like to now? If yes, then pray with me the following:
“Lord Jesus Christ, I come before you, mindful of my sinful life, seeking your forgiveness, humble in heart and spirit I invite you into my life. I ask that you forgive me my sins, come into my life,
and be Lord of my life. I pray you will forgive all my sins both Past, Present and Future. Wash me clean in your precious blood and purify my Heart, Soul and Spirit that I may know your Love
and Forgivness. That I may know the Father and the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name I ask, Amen!
Now that I have asked and accepted Jesus Christ, what do I do now?
1. Repent, [means to turn your life around]. Praying and receiving Christ, you have begun the process.
2. Be Baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. [Baptism is what all new believers are commanded to do. Baptism by water.
Acts 2:38: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”.
3. Receiving the Holy Ghost [Spirit] is a gift of God. It is the Spirit of God filling you life – regenerating, transforming and helping you in your daily life walk.
What Can I Expect to Happen?
Where Can I be Baptized?
Where Can I be Baptized? At Church.
Finding a Church of Believers and a Pastor who is lead by the Holy Spirit is Very Important for new believers in Christ.
As a Chaplain’s Assistant in the U.S. Army for some twenty years, I have worked with many Chaplains and attended many types of main line religious denominations. After much prayerful searching and examination, I’ve settled on Calvary Chapel located in Troy, Michigan. I highly recommend the Pastor and this church to all believers.
