We live so much of our lives in the flesh that many times we forget that we are really spirit beings. We are not physical/carnal beings and we are not soulish beings. We are a spirit; we have a soul and we live in a body.
It would help you become more conscious of spiritual things and the things of GOD would be more real to you if you would think of yourself as a spirit being, because that is what you are ["Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" 1 Thess.5:23]. In fact, it would help you to say that OUT LOUD: "I (ONYEMAECHI CHIBUOGWU JUDE JUDE-MARY EMMANUEL) AM A SPIRIT; I have a soul; and I live in a body"
