"The World English Bible (WEB): Mark" tells of the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death, burial, and the discovery of his empty tomb. It portrays Jesus as a teacher, an exorcist, a healer, and a miracle worker, though it does not expound upon the miraculous birth or divine pre-existence. He refers to himself as the Son of Man. He is called the Son of God but keeps his messianic nature secret; even his disciples fail to understand him.
The Holy Bible is a collection of books and letters written by many people who were inspired by the Holy Spirit of God.

The power of God's word is often times hard to explain, because of the influence and wisdom in those words, and the emotions or feeling these words can often provoke within all of us. You need to know and understand that we can trust and believe what God has provided and granted to us, and that by acting upon God's word and not merely reacting to a situation we will be able to manage our emotions instead of allowing them to manage us. I offer you this piece of personal advice: You only have a lifetime to figure out how you are going to spend eternity. Choose wisely.

I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water.

Since surgeons cannot see a soul inside the external mortal body, the concept of spirit-soul becomes incredibly challenging to most people. The idea may be difficult to comprehend if one is a modern materialist who has little or no belief in spirituality, the reality of the non-corporeal dimension, and the existence of angelic beings in our comic universe. Many people keep asking what the soul is and whether it is an object we carry around inside us. What constitutes its essential nature as a rational personality and spiritual origin, if any? Does humankind have a soul and inner spiritual life? Again, what do we know about consciousness, the nature of immortality, and the afterlife? Who is the father of spirits and humankind? This book and the others in the series will answer some of these questions and much more for the readers. The book is in three volumes because all the facts cannot be made available in a single book without skipping relevant details. Therefore, the author shall present this information about the human soul-its origin, nature, and destiny- in three separate books for easy readability and a better understanding of the subjects. We advise you to read the three volumes as a trilogy series, and finally, please take what you find useful and leave the rest. We hope this book will show you some of the biblical and non-biblical sources, information about the spiritual body. This first part shows you the basic necessary information about the soul and its origin. We shall also talk about a spiritualist who has become a dear friend since his conversion from the occult to believe Yeshua as the Savior of his life. His testimonies will undoubtedly produce some expositions about the soul, the origin of the spiritual self, and the truth about the dangers of spiritual travels that perhaps you have never been told. Finally, we shall be looking at how to break from soul ties and obtain lasting freedom from the demons of the occult using our findings through experience and research on this topic. As we shall discover, we have a spirit-soul that is something far more significant than the material envelope, which is our physical form. But this spirit body is inside of us all, and it is just one of the many secrets of humankind by divine design.
