You live in a body have a spirit (if not a christian) you are spiritually dead. Your emotions is in your soul. That is why when you get born again, Jesus will come and tydy up the soul area, where all the hurt of the past is deposited.
You get your soul renewed through the water of the Word and it is called sanctification. Way back in the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve were spiritual alive but after the sin fall, they died spiritually. Can you remember when God said to Adam and Eve "if you eat from the three of good and evil you will surely die" So, did they die after eating from that three, no they did not, but they died spiritually. Without Christ in your life you are spiritually dead.
Yet, there is a predominant cause why worship is not fulfilling for true Christians. There is a dreadful disease which has captivated much of the church like infectious gangrene. This horrific disease is called "ignorance." Listen to what the Word of God says about "ignorance." Romans 12:2 commands, "Be transformed by the renewing of the mind." Or Psalm 119:175 states, "Let my soul live and it shall praise You, and let Your righteous judgments help me." Or Psalm 119:165 says, "Seven times a day I praise you, because of Your righteous judgments." Or Psalm 119:108 pleads, "Accept, I pray, the acceptable offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your judgments." We see that knowing God's Word, Christian knowledge, has much to do with worship. What? Did you think that you could have "blind faith" and that such "blind faith" would be pleasing before God? How can we worship God without knowing Him? How can we praise His wonderful works if we do not know very much about His works? We should be hungry to listen, hear and obey the Word of God. When the teacher teaches or the preacher preaches we should be there affixed upon the words which are spoken as they are rightly divided. We will not be able to worship rightly on the Lord’s Day if we do not learn who this God is that we are worshipping. Worship, then, is the full expression of what we know to be true about God. What we know to be true about God is expressed by our attentive listening to the Word, and singing of the various psalms. It is expressed through prayer, and through the sharing of God's Word with others.
Are you hungry for God's word? Psalm 42:2 states, "My soul thirsts for the Living God." Can you truthfully state this with conviction? The hunger we have for what we think and do in worship will outwardly express God’s Word. Those who neglect to learn more about the Lord will have a worship experience that is not fulfilling. They will then attempt to measure their worship by ecstatic experience, rather than true worship which is done in spirit and in truth.
Take care

your spirit is not connected to the soul. we are spirit, soul and body. our spirit is connected to the Holy Spirit. our soul is made up of our mind, will, emotions. Our spirit, should rule, not our souls. Like Jacob and easu, the younger rules the elder. The older submits to the younger. our soul is phuche, flesh. Our spirit is pneuma, zoe, life, spirit. The dividing of the soul and spirit is merismos. Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
We go to the threshing floor, (seperating of soul and spirit) for the seperation of wheat and chafe and throw the dead, rotten into the flames for it to be burned. Thats what God does for His true sons and daughters we when are dealt with.

I always understood it to be a trinity deal. Like the Trinity: The Father (the soul), The Son (flesh), and the Holy Ghost (spirit). these three things are like man... we are made up of the spirit, the flesh, the soul. none can not exist without the other but they are not the same thing. I didn't exactly answer your question but maybe I shed more light on it!?!?

I'm afraid you are confusing things spirits are for drinking,soul is for listening to.Everything else is chemical reactions and electrical signals in the brain.

you are a spirit (the real eternal you) you have a soul (mind, will and emotions) and you live in a body (your earthly home)

No one knows. No 'soul' has been proven. Except 'musically' it has been used as an emotive term for 'black' music.
