Luke 11:36 TPT
If your spirit burns with light, fully illuminated with no trace of darkness, you will be a shining lamp, reflecting rays of truth by the way you live.”
Beloved,
Yesterday, we began a discussion on the internal components of a born-again man. We looked at the vital force of the spirit as a component of a born-again man. Today, we will look into how you can activate and preserve the vital force of the spirit on your inside.
First, you must take heed to your spirit man, Malachi 2:16b. A lot of people take better care of their bodies than their spirit. Similar to how one can watch their diet, you must be careful of what you feed your spirit. In the same way you exercise your body, you need to exercise your spirit man. Pray and fast regularly to build your spiritual muscles. Engage your spirit by asking for guidance from the Holy Spirit over every matter.
You must also be deliberate in increasing your intake of God’s word, Jeremiah 15:16. Make sure you consume the word daily. Read it, listen to it, sing it, just ensure you do not lack the word.
Another thing you must do is watch and pray, Matthew 26:41. If your prayer will be effective, you must first watch by opening your spirit to understand matters and take heed to divine signals. That is when you can know the right prayer to pray. If your sprit is weak, it means your flesh is rising. It takes more than a willing spirit to win in life. You need a conquered flesh and flesh can be dealt with in the place of prayer. In the same vein, you need to pray more in the spirit, 1 Corinthians 14:1-4. This is how you can desire and acquire more spiritual experiences.
Tomorrow, we will talk about some more things to do and some things not to do in order to protect the vital force of your spirit.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
