The Life of the Spirit

The moment a man falls into sin, divine life ceases to flow, and his life becomes one of helplessness. Take the place of knowing that you are a son of God, and remember that, as your hope is set in Christ, it should have a purifying effect on your life. You must come to see how wonderful you are in God and how helpless you are in yourself. God declared Himself more mighty than every opposing power when He cast out the powers of darkness from heaven.

I want you to know that the same power that cast Satan out of heaven dwells in every man that is born of God. If you would but realize this, you would reign in life. When you know you have an evil spirit to deal with you have power to cast it out. God means you to be in a place of overcoming, and has put a force within you whereby you may defeat the devil. Temptations will come to all. If you are not worth tempting you are not worth powder and shot. The Lord loveth His saints and covereth them with His almighty wings.

May God help us to see it. We cannot be to the praise of His glory until we are ready for trials, and are able to triumph in them. We cannot get away from the fact that sin came in by nature, but God comes into our nature and puts it into the place of death, that the Spirit of God may come into the temple in all His power and liberty, that right here in this present evil world Satan may be dethroned by the believer.

Satan is always endeavoring to bring the saints of God into disrepute, bringing against them railing accusations, but the Holy Ghost never comes with condemnation.

He always reveals the blood of Christ. He always brings us help. The Lord Jesus referred to Him as the Comforter who would come. He is always on hand to help in the seasons of trial and test. The Holy Ghost is the lifting power of the church of Christ. He brings into the heart the riches of the revelation of Christ, implanting purity and holiness there, so that, out of its depths, praises may well up continually.

The Holy Ghost will make us epistles of Christ, ever telling out that Jesus our Lord is our Redeemer and God has never put away that revelation. And because of the perfect atonement of that slain Lamb, there is salvation, healing and deliverance for all. Some people think that they have only to be cleansed once, but as we walk in the light the blood of Jesus Christ is ever cleansing.

The very life of Christ has been put within us, and is moving within us-a perfect life. May the Lord help us to see the power of this life. In me is working a power stronger than every other power; Christ, the power of God, formed within me. I can see why we need to be clothed upon from above, for the life that is in me is a thousand times bigger than I am outside.

There must be a tremendous expansion.

I see, and cannot help seeing, that this thing cannot be understood on natural lines; no natural reason can comprehend the divine plan. We leave the old order of things. We can never have confidence in the flesh; we cannot touch that. We are in a new order, a spiritual order. It is a new life of absolute faith in the sufficiency of our God in everything that pertains to life and godliness.

You could never come into this place and be a Seventh-day Adventist. The law has no place in you. You are set free from everything. Any man can live in the letter and become dry and wordy, limited in knowledge of spiritual verities, and spend his time everlastingly in splitting hairs; but as soon as he touches the realm of the Spirit, all the dryness goes, all the spirit of criticism leaves. There can be no divisions in a life in the Spirit. The Spirit of God brings such pliability and such love! There is no love like the love in the Spirit. It is a pure, a holy, a divine love that is shed in our hearts by the Spirit.

It loves to serve and to honor the Lord. The Father understands exactly what the Spirit is thinking because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. To quote the late E. The wonderful truth here is this — when we sign with inarticulate desires, it is the Holy Spirit Himself who is interceding on our behalf, prompting these groans. Reflect upon the words of James Montgomery —. Prayer is the burden of a sigh… the falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye… when none but God is near Stott, p.

Remember, it is the Holy Spirit who moves us to pray and gives direction to our prayers. Charles Spurgeon describes this process as follows: We feel secure when the Holy Spirit guides our minds…. As believers we need to become increasingly sensitive to the influence of the Holy Spirit and receptive to the way that He is guiding us to pray, so that our prayers become increasingly aligned with the will of God.

In closing, reflect upon the words of a hymn that Kenneth Berding penned —. Many believers have chosen to preface their prayers with this prayer to the Spirit because it gives them a wonderful perspective from which to petition the throne of grace Remember, we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and grace to help in time of need. In this critical chapter of Scripture, Paul describes seven key ministries of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer — Walk according to the Spirit 8: Set your mind on the things of the Spirit 8: Put to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit 8: Be led by the Spirit 8: Know the Fatherhood of God by the Spirit 8: Hope in the Spirit 8: Pray in the Spirit 8: In other passages Paul mentions — Be filled with the Spirit Eph 5: Serve in the Spirit Rom 7: Love by the Spirit Rom According to Romans 8, here is what is possible in the Christian life — We can live with the knowledge that we are free from condemnation v.



We can live realizing that God fulfilled the requirement of the Law in us thru Christ vv. We can walk according to the Spirit rather than according to the flesh v. We can set our minds on the things of the Spirit rather than things of the flesh vv. We can live as people who are characterized by peace v. We can live lives that are pleasing to God implied in v. We can live free from the obligation to do the things of the flesh v. Do your best to present yourself approved to God 2 Tim 2: May I hear that you are standing firm… and striving for the faith of the gospel Phil 1: Flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness 2 Tim 2: Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the devil Eph 6: Be Led by the Spirit Rom 8: Nobody wants to be your friend!

You are not in bondage to the flesh. You are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. You belong to Christ. You are spiritually alive in Christ. You are children of God. You are adopted into His family. You will be glorified together with Him. Hope in the Spirit Rom 8: Pray in the Spirit Rom 8: In closing, reflect upon the words of a hymn that Kenneth Berding penned — Spirit I Come, not knowing what to say Spirit I come, and needing help to pray Spirit I come, but my weaknesses are getting in the way Spirit I come.

InterVarsity Press, C. Lewis — Mere Christianity. After the fall, however, a second life came in, and with this life there is an evil law. At this point, the trouble within man began. Because our mind is fallen, however, it does not always stand on the side of good, the side of the law of God. When our mind does not stand with the side of good, the second law will not rise up. However, whenever our mind sides with the side of good, the second law, the law of sin and death, comes in to interrupt and frustrate us.

The law of the satanic life frustrates us and wars against the law in the human mind. This satanic law is stronger than the law of our human life. So, the human life with the law of the human life is always defeated. However, at the time of regeneration, we received the strongest life with the strongest law. This law, which is the law of the Spirit of life, can now deliver us. This law sets us free from the law of sin, fulfills the requirements of the law of God, and satisfies the desire of the law of the human life.

The operation of the law of these lives depends on which side the mind takes. The mind can side with the flesh, which has the law of sin in our members, or it can side with the spirit, with the law of the divine life in our spirit. There are two sides, and the mind is in the middle. Our experience depends on what side our mind stands with. The flesh is outside, the spirit is inside, and the mind is in the middle representing the soul.
