 SESSION 1 – Introduction

1 Thessalonians 5:23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Master Yeshua the Messiah.

Genesis 2:7  Then Adonai God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.

Romans 8:5-9  For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on fleshly things, but those who live according to the spirit set their minds on spiritual things. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s Torah; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the spirit, if in fact the spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the spirit of Messiah does not belong to Him.

Galatians 5:16-17  But I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the spirit, and the desires of the spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

LEFT = Physical & RIGHT = Spiritual

Ecclesiastes 10:2    A wise man’s heart is to the right, but a fool’s heart is to the left.

Genesis 48:14   And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands (for Manasseh was the firstborn).

Proverbs 3:16    Long life is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.

Matthew 25:33    And He will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left.

Matthew 6:3    But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

Isaiah 48:13   My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens…

REFERENCES:

Deuteronomy 33:2  He said, “Adonai came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us; He shone forth from Mount Paran; He came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand.”

Judges 5:4  “Adonai, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens dropped, yes, the clouds dropped water.”

Habakkuk 3:3  God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise.

“Self-control is at the heart of all spiritual growth, and it is developed by the discipline required to obey. By contrast, when one acts spontaneously there is no resistance to overcome; the action is relatively easy, and so it has relatively little potential for growth…But there is more here than meets the eye. When you act spontaneously, you are expressing yourself. That may be a great thing, but it can never be greater than you are… But when the source of my command is outside myself, I express that source when I act … we join in a partnership that expresses us both.” – R’ Akiva Tatz
