Live In The Spirit (Part 1)

You wake up, get dressed and move out, live life, eat, exercise and do many other things, but do you know that your body is not the real you? It is just the physical manifestation of you. The real you is a spirit; man is a spirit living in an earth suit that we call body.

To elaborate, let me use this illustration: Mr. X drives a green Mercedes, when he drives across the road you would say, “Mr. X drove across the road”, even though you saw the green Mercedes. Anything that happens to the Mercedes is as a result of the one who drives the Mercedes and not the car doing things by itself. This also applies to man, it is his spirit in him that controls his body; just the way the man in the car determines whatever happens to the car, the same thing applies to the man, whatever happens to man is determined by his spirit. So, why do we focus on the physical things rather than live in the spirit which controls and determines the physical manifestation. Why don’t we live in the spirit, then we would utilise the full potential of our being.

The physical body we possess cannot do anything without the spiritual nature; the spirit is so vast that the physical body is just a trickle of the ability of the spirit. So, when we live in the spirit and understand the fullness of the spirit, we control the physical realm anyhow we want.

Believers are the most privileged, this is because our spirit is the exact spirit of Jesus which is the exact spirit of God; and remember, the spirit Jesus possess is the same spirit God gave all power and authority in heaven, on earth and under the earth to. All power at its climax is in this spirit, but why do we live as one who doesn’t know this?

We must live in the spirit of Jesus which every Believer possesses before we see the miraculous become as easy as the air we breathe. Let’s take a look at Daniel; now remember Daniel had the Holy Spirit with him and not in him because it was until the day of Pentecost before the fullness of the Holy Spirit came and dwelt in every Believer because of the resurrection of Jesus. My emphasis here is to explain that Daniel not having the fullness of the Holy Spirit had great wonders performed through him by the Holy Spirit which is a slap on our face as we have the fullness of the Holy Spirit in us and we are not portraying the tremendous ability given to us just because we are not living in the spirit. What did Daniel do?

In the book of Daniel, king Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that bothered him so much, he forgot the dream and to remember the dream called for wise men, astrologers, sorcerers to tell him his dream and then interpret it. The wise men told the king that it was impossible for any man to tell a dream that he didn’t dream without being told. But there was something striking at what they said, “It is a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.” (Daniel 2:11 NKJV).

Even though their gods were inferior, it wasn’t a lie that mysteries were only understood by gods but we who serve the Almighty God who surpasses all other gods are more privileged. The only way to get the mysteries is for us to leave this physical realm and live in the spirit. Daniel had to seek the mercies of God concerning this secret; he left this realm in order to receive what was beyond the physical; he not only got the dream, he also got the interpretation.

Believers are to live in the spirit which is the unlimited world before they could achieve total control of the power and authority Jesus has given us. How can we actually live in the spirit? Watch out for the next blog.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
