How many human beings realize and know we are spirit and we are flesh (body, mind, soul, spirit, heart)?

My journey with God, Yahweh, has been growing in understanding and deeper beliefs. Accepting Jesus, the Messiah, God's son and gift of life and receiving the Holy Spirit is an ongoing relationship as He reveals and guides me daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany dream symbols appear in reality as seen in physical forms. Many people experience this.

I paint portraits, getting to know them and watch their mannerisms. Many times people desire portraits of deceased family members. I like for them to stand beside me and tell me what they want different. They paint through me. They will be with the painting. My desire is for them to enjoy the results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of my 43 year old students said she had never seen a sunset until taking art lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lord God Almighty knew us before He created the earth and called us by name.
