AIR:
The spiritual significance of the air, in the life of the believer, is indispensable. Naturally speaking, without the air, there would be no life; moreover, we would not be able to breathe or speak. There would be no way to travel by ground or by flight because there would be no air or space in which to travel. Spiritually speaking, the air represents the life (breath) of Yahweh Elohim within us. It also characterizes the fundamental nature of our spiritual existance and mobility.
Air is the creative element. During the creation of earth, the very first action taken by the Creator was when He caused His spirit (wind, breath) to move upon the face of the waters that covered the void, undeveloped earth. During the creation of man, the Creator breathed into man’s nostrils the breath (spirit, wind, air) of life and man became a living soul. So we, therefore, surmise that without the wind, there would not be a vehicle to carry the word which was spoken over the earth.
The spirit (wind, air) precedes the spoken word. When we speak, our breath assists our words as they flow from our lips into the natural atmosphere. Words travel at the speed of light. As soon as a word is spoken, it transcends the natural realm and enters into the world of the spirit. Our words are spirit. This is why it is vital that we monitor the words that we speak. Once our words leave our lips, we cannot take them back. For they enter into the spirit realm almost instantly. Everything that we speak enters into the spirit world and is recorded in a book by the scribes of heaven, whereby we will ultimately be held accountable.
Satan, who is the prince of the power of the air, commands his subordinates to intercept our prayers and our scriptural affirmations. To keep the air clear so that our words are not hindered, we must continue to reinforce the Word of Yahweh through repetitious confession mixed with unwavering faith.
SOUL AND SPIRIT:
Man has the innate ability to change his world by the words of his mouth, simply because the breath (air, spirit), with which he speaks, was given to him by the Creator. Because we all possess a portion of the eternal wind or spirit within us, our living soul (human spirit) also has the aptitude to access the spirit realm. Our human spirit is the liaison that connects our physical senses to the spirit world. This was made possible when the Creator breathed His Spirit into man’s physical body, providing man with the means to communicate and fellowship with Him in the spirit while existing on the physical plane. In other words, a spiritual body (living soul, human spirit) was conceived by the life-giving wind of the Creator. We can enter and move about in the spirit because we are made of the same celestial material (eternal spirit) as the Almighty Creator.
There are those who are skilled in the knowledge and practice of accessing the spirit world. Witches, sorcerers, warlocks, wizards, diviners, astrologers, palm readers, crystal gazers, tarot card readers, shamans, necromancers, Satanists, soothsayers (psychics), to name a few, are, at this very moment, frequenting the spirit realm. They do this by spiritually illegal means. It is spiritually illegal, because they use their souls (soul power/mind power) to control their human spirit. With their human spirit, they summons the aid of spirit guides: ancestoral spirits, animal spirits and “the ascended masters.” These spirit guides are demonic spirits that are disguised as angels, deceased love ones, animals and/or harmless figures such as children.

Occultic chants and rituals are performed with focused meditation or concentration on the incantations used to call up the spirit guides. The soul, at this time, is connected to the human spirit and opens the doorways to the human spirit to be inhabited by the spirit guides. The spirit guides then enters the human spirit of the individual (host), via the soul, and conducts the will of the host. The will of the host is often time influenced by the demonic spirit, thus causing the host to perform the wishes of the unholy spirit. Hosts (physical body of the individual who yields themselves to spirit guides) are known as mediums or channels. A medium is a human vessel who speaks by inspiriation of a supernatural being. The medium acts as a channel, or channeler, for nonphysical entities to come through to this physical plane (very often these entities are the spirits of people who lived before and are no longer among the living).
For example, the medium who is channeling the spirit of their deceased mentor emanates the personality and mannerisms of thier late mentor. In such case, the spirit of the mentor has crossed over onto the physical plane. In reality, a demonic spirit inhabits the physical body and immitates the deceased mentor with credible accuracy. Satan and his suboridinates are the biggest copycats in the universe. Yahweh's desire is that we yield our body, soul and spirit to Him so that we can become holy vessels through which His Holy Spirit can work by manifesting in and through us on this physical plane. The prophet Elisha recieved from the Creator his mentor's mantle and a double portion of his spirit. Therefore, Elisha, by the power of Yahweh Elohim, emanted the works of his mentor two-fold. The spirit of the prophet Eliyah, by the will of Yahweh, returned to this physical plane (centuries later) through the prophet John-the baptist. Yahshua the Messiah was a human vessel that housed the Spirit of the Almighty Creator in its fullness (Yahweh entered the physical plane through Yahshua...the two are one). These are what are known as LEGAL spiritual transactions. In other words, if it isn't by the will and power of Yahweh Elohim, it is not legal and is, therefore, an abomination in His sight.
Ever wonder how psychics, fortune tellers, palm readers, tarot card readers and root doctors know things about you that only you could know? Ever wonder how they can somehow see into your past or foretell certain events? Demonic spirits, with whom they have made an alliance and have invited into their spirit, via their soul, gives them information by spiritually illegal means (without Yahweh's consent). This is called an illegal transaction of the spirit and an abomination to the Most High; for they use "soul power" to gain access into the spirit world. What they don't tell you is that they have to pay a dear price for utilizing demonic influence. That price is their soul. (Demons lie to them by promising them wealth, fame, power, etc....Satan is the father of lies).
Power is like money. It is neither good, nor evil. It is neutral. What makes it good or evil is the spiritual influence inside the vessel through which the power is working. The callings and giftings of Yahweh are without repentance. This means that some witches, wizards, shamans, astrologers, psychics and diviners are actually called and gifted by Yahweh to bring glory to His Holy name. Instead, they prostitue their gifts to glorify themselves and to satisfy the desires of their flesh. Furthermore, such an individual have chosen the wrong path in which to walk and the wrong source from which to operate. One who is gifted and does not have the anointing of the Holy Spirit on his/her life (seal of approval) is one who operates in the soulish realm, which is the realm of satanic influence (Satan governs the powers of the air. If we attempt to enter into his territory without the seal of Yahweh, we subject ourselves to be sifted as wheat). We all will someday stand before our Creator be held accountable for how we used His gifts on the earth.
The soul controls the human spirit only when the two are connected. In order to be in right standing with Yahweh Elohim and to, legally, operate in the spirit, there must be a dividing of the soul and spirit. The soul should never be used to control the human spirit. The desire of the Almighty Creator is that we open our souls to Him alone so that He may inhabit our human spirit. Yahweh Elohim’s purpose for our human spirit is a holy purpose that should not be tainted by occultic (demonic) forces. Yahweh’s spirit (the Holy Spirit) wishes to indwell our human spirits and, therefore, control our souls. If we give ourselves (body, soul and spirit) to the Creator, he will give us holy desires and he will empower us, through His Word, to control and mortify the desires and deeds of our flesh (sin nature).

| CONCLUSION: |
The Word of Yahweh should be our only influence to ensure that the desires of our souls and the deeds of our bodies, governed by the Holy Spirit, are indeed upright before Him. It is only with the help of Yahweh that we can accomplish this life-long task. When we access the spirit world, through the Spirit of Yahweh, we are entering into the sprit world…LEGALLY. Although we live on this physical plane, we have the ability to gain entry into the spirit world. We also have the spiritual dexterity to utilize our five senses in the spirit world. This even incudes our potentiality to pray, sing, and travel in the spirit as well. Our connection to the Most High, with a right relationship, guarantees us spiritual consciousness. There is a very thin line between the soul and spirit. The righteous conjoinment that is required to attain such liberty is the union of our REGENERATED soul and the Holy Spirit within us. If the soul has not been renewed by the Word, and if the human spirit is not inhabited by the Holy Spirit, we are in a dangerous place. Because of the free reign of the sin nature within, demonic influence is inevitable. Again, the soul and the human spirit of man must be divided. The only way to ensure that this necessary division takes place is by applying the Word of Yahweh to our lives. The Word is sharper than any two-edged sword and it has the omnipotence to divide asunder the soul and sprit. We must never forget that Yahweh is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
