God gave the spirit in man but not in animals. The mind is the spirit in man and the physical brain. Animals have intelligence and instinct but not mind and spirit. The spirit in man gives him superiority over the animals, or rulership. The spirit in man is not a separate being or personality. Of itself, aside from the brain it does not see or know or think. It is simply spirit essence. Learn many things about the spiritual side of our walk with Christ in this very informative and interesting message.
