Spirit is Life

Life is a vapor. Anything to help us see this fact will make us wiser.

There is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body… The spiritual did not come first but the natural and after that the spiritual (1 Corinthians 15:44, 46).

The spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing (John 6:63). No one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the spirit… the Spirit gives birth to spirit (John 3:5-6).

The whole point of our journey is to awaken the spirit within us. The Spirit is indwelling (He wants to move in) and filling (He wants to be in control) — it is a continuous discipline.

It is God who has made us… and has given us His Spirit as a deposit (2 Corinthians 5:5). The Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6), and God gives the Spirit without limit (John 3:34).

We have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit (Romans 7:6}. The mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6), for the Spirit helps us in our weakness (Romans 8:26).

The most important is the spiritual, and everything spiritual is of the Will. Nothing happens automatically in the spirit life.

We speak in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words… for they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:13-14). It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth (1 John 5:6).

The Holy Spirit lives in us (2 Timothy 1:14) because You received the Spirit of son-ship (Romans 8:15), a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7). Do not put out the Spirit’s fire (1 Thessalonians 5:19).

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better (Ephesians 1:13, 17). We have access to the Father by that one Spirit (Ephesians 2:18). In Him you are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit (Ephesians 2:22). I pray He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being (Ephesians 3:16). So be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).
