But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding (Job 32:8).
Have you ever heard some people say, “When I was much younger, my memory was perfect; I could remember anything. But now I’m sixty, and I don’t remember as much as I used to”? Never talk like that if you’re a Christian, because you don’t remember with your brain. You’ve got to understand this: your memory is not in your brain; it’s in your spirit.
Your spirit has perfect recall; it can recollect anything. The story the Lord Jesus told about Lazarus and a certain rich man in Luke 16:19-31 proves it. The Bible says that when Lazarus died, the angels carried him to Abraham’s bosom. They didn’t carry his body; it was his spirit.
Then the Bible says the rich man also died, was buried, and opened his eyes in hell. His body was in the earth but his spirit was conscious in hell. While in hell, the rich man could see, he could think, and he could recognize Lazarus. He even spoke and made requests. He asked Abraham to send Lazarus to bring him water (Luke 16:24).
That tells you something: his brain had been buried, but he still had his full memory, his full awareness. His spirit remembered. Then Abraham said something remarkable. He said, “…Son, REMEMBER that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented” (Luke 16:25). Think about that. He had been dead, buried and gone to hell; his brain was no more, but he was told to “remember.”
That means memory is beyond the brain. It is of the spirit. That’s why you must never say, “I forgot”; get that language out of your communication. The spirit never forgets, and you’re a spirit being. So never say, “I’m quite forgetful these days,” or “My memory is failing.” No. It doesn’t matter how old you are; your spirit doesn’t grow old. It doesn’t deteriorate, and it doesn’t lose capacity. Your spirit is alive, alert and full of divine ability. Live from your spirit and enjoy its perfect recall.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for opening my understanding to the realities and abilities of my spirit. I function from my spirit, and my memory is sound, sharp and effective. I have a sound memory because my spirit is alive, alert and has perfect recall, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Luke 16:19-25 KJV
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: [20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, [21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. [22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. [25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
1 Corinthians 2:9-11 KJV
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. [10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. [11] For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1 John 2:20 KJV
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
