Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
So what exactly am I calling Spiritual Ultrasound?
Well, we can call it envisioning ... or the picture from within.
You may have heard people say ... they are soul searching? Meaning they are tying to locate themselves on a deeper level.
Most usually they do not find themselves as they are searching from the carnal area. They may think they have found what they were looking for, but they are actually only going from one short venture to another.
The soul is the make up of the mind, will and emotion. And to try to locate the real you, you must go deeper than soul.
- Mind only knows what it has been taught (programed to)
- Will is choices made from mental reasoning or emotional reaction, and emotions relate the sense realm, and is fickle (up one day, down the next) and easily deceived.
To understand the real you and to operate from a higher source, moving toward a greater state and quality of life, one must understand the whole man, as he is three dimensional.
He is a Spirit, lives in a body and has a soul.
- The Physical (body) is a the carrier of the real you. The house you live in, the vehicle that moves you to and fro.
- The Soul is the (mind, will and emotional center) ... that responds according to revelations received (or at times the lack thereof).
- The Spirit however ... is the life within (the ultrasound) so to speak of the soul or the deeper you.
Prov. 20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
~King James
*one foot note says, searching the rooms within you.
- God is in charge of human life, watching and examining us inside and out. ~ Message
- The spirit of man [that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God] is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts. ~ Amplified
*one foot note say, searching out the deep parts of the heart and person.
Adam Clarke says:
God has given to every man a mind, which he so enlightens by his own Spirit, that the man knows how to distinguish good from evil; and conscience, which springs from this, searches the inmost recesses of the soul.
Family Bible suggest:
The spirit searching, makes us cognizant of our most secret thoughts.
John Wesley states:
The candle-Is a clear and glorious light set up in man for his information and direction ... Searching-Discerning not only his outward actions, which are visible to others, but his most inward thoughts and affections.
Therefore, the candle of the Lord (the spiritual ultrasound), can locate you, and can also locate all the hindrances that oppose you, enlightening that you might move on to new arenas of purposeful living that you have not yet thought or imagined.
Hebrews 4:12-13
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (mind and emotions).
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (even the things unseen in the natural or the carnal arena).
The Word of God ... is the very candle that searches us ... (the Spiritual Ultrasound so to speak) ... (God is Spirit and God is Word).
Thus, the spoken word (sound that produces images) is the very way into this deeper life.
Heb. 4:14 goes on to say: Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession (declaration, spoken confession ... something once written that is now spoken with conviction) ... our ultrasound.
There is both the written Word and the Spoken Word ... The Logos and the Rhema. Each having it's place, working together for the good of man.
The written Word the documented (will of God) has been left here for us from the ancient of days, that we might have revelation of the one who was and is and is to come.
Once we understand that God (the word) was made flesh and walked among us through the person of Jesus Christ and receive Him into our heart and lives ... the person of the Holy Spirit can and will guide us in line with the written Word.
That written word then begins to renew (reprogram our mind for good), and as we make confession of these truths not only do we become more free, but we are brought to new realms of life, because of what we can see and know.
The Word works like a mirror ... or a reflector of light. Reflecting what is within us ... much like an ultra sound shows what is on the inside of us. The Spirit speaks expressly revealing the real you.
Sound and Light ... Powerful means of locating the deeper you!
