    Soul and Spirit Manifestations are Vastly Different

    In this profound episode of Supernatural Breakthrough, we explore the crucial distinction between the soul and spirit and how each manifests differently in our lives. Many people confuse the two, thinking they are the same, but as we discuss, there are significant differences that shape our experiences, desires, and purpose. Mariana, Joao, and the team dive into how the soul encompasses emotions, free will, and mind—shaped by traumas, conditioning, and belief systems. In contrast, the spirit is connected to a much higher realm, reflecting God’s breath and operating from a different dimension. We unpack how people may achieve material success and soul-level desires, but feel unfulfilled because true joy and purpose come from spirit-level manifestations. This conversation also addresses love, forgiveness, and healing, showing how soulish love is conditional and fragile, while spiritual love, through Christ, transcends emotions and extends beyond our human capacities. We end by exploring how the body, soul, and spirit can be brought into alignment under the authority of the Holy Spirit. If you’ve ever struggled to understand the difference between your soul and spirit, or why some manifestations feel empty while others feel eternal, this episode is for you. Tune in and gain a deeper understanding of how to align your life with the power of the spirit and experience true fulfillment. What was Covered: The difference between soul and spirit: emotions, free will, and higher realmsThe limitations of soulish desires and achievementsPersonal experiences with disillusionment in manifestation and successSpiritual manifestations and the power of the Holy SpiritThe enduring, selfless love that comes from the spirit versus the fickle nature of soulish loveThe role of forgiveness and the greater capacity that comes from the spiritHow the body, soul, and spirit can come into alignment under God’s will Bible Verses Referenced: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 – "May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."Romans 8:6 – "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."John 3:6 – "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit."
