(Known as the Trinity)
1. Man is a creature.

3. Man is Imperfect
1. God The Creator

3. FACTS ABOUT MAN
Man kind has a Tri-Level Existence – Body, Soul and Spirit.
Body – Physical subject to basic needs: (e.g. Food, water,
shelter, clothing, etc.
Soul – Emotions/Mind with basic needs: (e.g. Touch,
Companionship, Sense of Purpose, Security, Emotional Support
for others, etc..)
Spiritual – Consciousness with basic needs: (e.g. Morals, Ethics
etc.

4. These three interact with each other as we walk through life.
Physically - Man is driven to fill their basic needs. As man ages,
they become more aware of the workings of the Soul and Spirit.
Most individuals exist only to satisfy the Physical and Soul realms –
without or very little Spiritual awareness, but are driven equally as
much by its needs.
Soul: The Soul drivers are explained by most Sociologist today as
one experiencing feelings of Bitterness, Sorrow, Grief, etc., which
produce physical effects, (e.g. translates into action).
Spiritual: Man learns over time, through education and other
internal/external environmental factors what it takes to survive, (e.g.
Morals, Ethics, a sense of Right and Wrong driven to obtain basic
needs).

5. THEREFORE, MAN’S EXISTANCE HAS
THREE LEVELS TO THEIR BEING:
The Physical – Level 1
The Soul – Level 2
The Spirit – Level 3
1

SPIRIT
Each acting in concert with one-another, each with their
own set of needs influencing thoughts and actions.

12. Revelation 3:20 Questions:

4. Why is He Knocking? Wants to come.

13. Revelation 3:20 questions continued:
10. If you wanted to ask Christ into your life, when could you do it?
When you hear the knocking.
11. Can you think of any reason why not to ask Christ into your life?
12. Would you like to now? If yes, then pray with me the following:
“Lord Jesus Christ, I come before you, mindful of my sinful life,
seeking your forgiveness, humble in heart and spirit I invite you
into my life. I ask that you forgive me my sins, come into my life,
and be Lord of my life. I pray you will forgive all my sins both
Past, Present and Future. Wash me clean in your precious blood
and purify my Heart, Soul and Spirit that I may know your Love

14. Now that I have asked and accepted Jesus Christ, what do I do
now?
1. Repent, [means to turn your life around]. Praying and receiving
Christ, you have begun the process.
2. Be Baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. [Baptism is
what all new believers are commanded to do. Baptism by water.
Acts 2:38: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost”.
3. Receiving the Holy Ghost [Spirit] is a gift of God. It is the
Spirit of God filling you life – regenerating, transforming and
helping you in your daily life walk.
What Can I Expect to Happen?
Where Can I be Baptized?

15. Where Can I be Baptized? At Church.
Finding a Church of Believers and a Pastor who is lead by the Holy
Spirit is Very Important for new believers in Christ.
As a Chaplain’s Assistant in the U.S. Army for some twenty years,
I have worked with many Chaplains and attended many types of
main line religious denominations. After much prayerful searching
and examination, I’ve settled on Calvary Chapel located in Troy,
Michigan. I highly recommend the Pastor and this church to all
believers. See the contact information below:

18. The stairs represent out daily walk with God – Flooding our Body,
Soul and Spirit with God’s Word, His Knowledge, His Presence,
His Power to Change and Transform our life. This is the Good
News and the reason Jesus came into the world. Jesus provided a
way to bring all into His and God the Father’s presence. It all Starts
with Accepting Jesus Christ, be Baptized by water, and be Baptized
by the His Holy Spirit. . . .Let the Transformation begin.
