What I am getting from you is that you believe in exeriencing [SIC] the spirit of God within you and following what the spirit leads you to do or believe.
The man born of the Spirit, Who is God, must set his mind on his human spirit where the Spirit of God has come.
The human spirit is joined to the Holy Spirit in regeneration. And the two become united, blended, and
"one spirit".
This is seen in a number of places. One of the best is
First Corinthians 6:17.
"He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit" (1 Cor. 6:17)
It is a great thing to firstly have your innermost being born again of the Spirit of God.
Then it is a great thing to LEARN to live another way - by the mingled human spirit that is JOINED to the Lord to be
"one spirit".
You should hunt down a book by Watchman Nee called
The Spiritual Man, a three volume book. But it is volume one that would be of the most help to you at this stage.
Here you may read about the spirit and soul and body in the book
The Spiritual Man. Here below is a link to the Table of Contents. And I would recommend you consider reading the chapter on
The Spirit, the Soul and the Body.
