As the glorified Jesus Christ finds a habitation within
us, a life-giving river of the Spirit of God gushes from our innermost being. “My
words are Spirit, and they are life...the word of God is living and energetic,
and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of
soul and spirit...” John, in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, saw Jesus Christ,
“his voice as the sound of many waters...and out of his mouth went a sharp
two-edged sword” (Revelation 1:15-16). The same Spirit of God who strengthens
the inner man weakens the outer man. The same Spirit of God which empowers the
new creation man devastates the old creation man. The same Spirit of God communicates
the wisdom of God and confounds the carnal mind. The same Spirit who anointed Jesus
to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons, led Jesus to the cross.
This same Spirit of God, burns in us the outworking of all that Jesus accomplished
on the Cross.
“Father God…Draw us to walk on the narrow path of your
will that this same
Spirit might burn a path through our soul that your life
might be released.
Lord Jesus, we want to know you…we long for your
appearing…quicken our
mortal bodies that we might fully redeem the time we
have been given.
We love you Lord and we desire your presence above all
else.”
