A fearful and timid spirit

If we use His words when
speaking to our spirit soul and
body, they will have Life.

Learning to Prophesy
• Last week we discussed biblical
basics for ways of healing our human
spirit.
• Today we’ll focus on some examples
from the bible where some conditions
of the spirit are mentioned, we will
study them and then pray for this
cases.

We’ll go over some scriptures
so we can be able to
understand the way we need
to pray.

2 Timothy 1:6-8
• 6For this reason I remind you to fan into
flame the gift of God, which is in you
through the laying on of my
hands. 7For God has not given us a
spirit of timidity, but of
power, love, and self-control. 8So do not
be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in
suffering for the gospel by the power of
God.…Berean Study Bible ·

can be suffocated by the surrounding
of our soul and our body, and in a
way affect the outcome of the
manifestations of the spirit with
improper manners.
