Why Minister to the Human Spirit: Brokenness, Renewal, and Pre-Adamic Trauma! Dan argues that ministering to the human spirit is biblically necessary. He challenges the view that the spirit is automatically perfected at salvation, citing 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and 2 Corinthians 7:1 to show that the spirit can require cleansing and sanctification. He teaches that while the Holy Spirit indwells a protected core of the spirit at salvation, other areas may still carry wounds or defilement. Scripture, he says, shows the spirit can be broken, overwhelmed, deceitful, or in need of renewal (Psalm 51:10, 17; Proverbs 18:14). Duval also connects Jeremiah 1:5 to the idea of pre-earth existence, suggesting that pre-Adamic trauma can affect the human spirit. He maintains that targeted ministry to the spirit brings deep healing and transformation Covered in this episode: 00:00 Why Spirit Needs Prayer 00:47 Controversy Over Spirit Ministry 01:49 Biblical Case for Spirit Care 03:00 Salvation and Spirit Defilement 04:34 Broken Spirit and Healing 08:57 Idle Spirit and Deceit 12:37 Renewing the Steadfast Spirit 14:19 Overwhelmed Spirit and Fear 16:50 Pre-Adamic Trauma and Origins 18:36 Why It’s Necessary Closing Then we ENCOURAGE you to do 4 QUICK THINGS!!
