Spirit

"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."  John 4:24

If God interacts with us through our spirits, we must be in tune with God so that we know when He is speaking to us.  The only way to be in tune with God is to study God's Word. When God's Word is abiding in our spirits, we make good decisions.  John 15:7 says, "If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." We must study the Word and apply it to our lives in order for it to abide in us.  The Word should be there for the "long-haul" and not just momentarily.  If we want the abundant life, we must first acquire the abiding life.  We don't get the desires of our heart without having an abiding life in Christ Jesus.  John 10:10 says that Jesus came that we may have life and life more abundantly.  However, we must receive Jesus in order to have that abundant life.  Jesus is the Word of God and must be dwelling (taking up residence) in our spirits.  It is the only way we can be victorious.  So, if you are not studying to show yourself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15) and walking in the Spirit (of God) so that you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16), you cannot partake of the abundant life that Jesus came, bled and died for us to have. There is power in the Blood of Jesus.  Please nourish your spirit with God's Word. Remember, Jesus is the Word and came in the flesh to dwell among us (John 1:14).  Now we must allow that Word to dwell in us by meditating on it day and night if we want to have good success.
