All those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ , His Person and His complete Work on the cross have the result that they have His Life in them. The are a new creation created in Him and therefore in Him they live and move. Having the Lords own Life within means that we are one with Him. His feeling becomes our feeling His thought becomes our thought. We have His mind. It is this having His Life that makes us members of His Body. This Life in our spirits. This in true grace!!. Christ who has come to us by the Holy Spirit is in our spirits. Christ in the Holy spirit is mingled into oneness with our regenerated spirit. The Life that God lives by is the same life found in His children and hence we are true Sons. This is made possible by the work done in the First Born Son, Jesus Christ. Because of the property of deathless Life in Him, He was fit to finish us off by the cross and thereon impart Himself to us by resurrection from the dead.
Today the key is in living and walking according to the spirit. For this reason believers must have their spirits delivered and released from the enclosing hard shell coming from emotions or will or thoughts. Instead these functions must serve in releasing and expressing the spirit. We conclude every thought without the spirit must be denied, every feeling or desire without the spirit must be denied, every decision and action that doesn’t flow from clear discernment to be of the spirit must be rejected. Whatever is without the spirit is natural, sensual defiling, rejected and condemned by God.

If we live in the Spirit let us also walk by the Spirit. Only this is of the Church and is the Church the rest is not. For example when one opens their mouth to talk and say something one should judge by themselves whether whatever they want to torrent is passed God’s test within. Is it seen and confirmed by the Holy Spirit in our spirits, Who abides down deep within?.
