Journey Through The Spiritual Body

Circulatory System of the Spiritual Body

The journey through the spiritual body draws a parallel between the human circulatory system and the spiritual body (the church). It explains that just as the circulatory system transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body and removes waste, the spiritual body functions similarly:

Circulatory System and Spiritual Body

Blood Vessels & Heart

The arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins return it, and capillaries exchange gases and nutrients. Spiritually, this represents how the church distributes spiritual nourishment and support among its members.

We, the ones filled with the spirit, are ejected into the uttermost parts of the world, and we are to reach into every place we can to save the lost world from sin. Therefore, we are ejected under pressure through the spiritual arteries into the spiritual body. We are to leave the confines of the large church houses (aorta) and go into smaller groups, like home Bible studies (smaller arteries) and then one-on one (capillaries) with those we meet in our daily lives.
