I'm curious ---- who is you spirit? is there a different you that is your spirit?
Thoughts come from the heart, Christ said. It was out of the abundance of the mouth that the heart speaks. Therefore, the heart of the man (the core nature, I think, not the physical beating muscle) is the problem.
A more interesting question is: is there a difference between how your spirit presents itself to others and how it really is. Or even, how it views itself, and how it really is.
I am of three parts - spirit - soul - body as First Thessalonians 5:23 reveals.I'm curious ---- who is you spirit? is there a different you that is your spirit?

We can learn to discern and even divide our soul from our spirit. But it is a life long matter, It starts by learning to TASTE the living Lord within us. Reading the word, Reading it aloud. Reading it not allowed but prayerfully, are good initial ways to "TASTE" the living Lord Jesus who is "one spirit" with our spirit.These two passages are important in the Old Testament to seeing the function of the human spirit.
The revelation of the human spirit and the human soul, I think, is progressive. It becomes the most clear in the New Testament where we see that the two may be divided asunder by the word of God which is sharper than a two-edged ssord.
"For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit." (Heb. 4:12)
