Living in the Spirit is about consciously living by the leading of the Spirit – it’s about living in the knowledge that you’re in Him and He’s in you. It’s about resting in Him. It’s about letting Him be the source of information, direction, relationship, giftings, etc. Being born again is when the Spirit becomes one with you through the Word you received. Unless you are born of Water and Spirit, you cannot enter the kingdom of God. The Spirit is Life – abundance of Life! He is Eternal Life. We received eternal life when we believed Jesus.
The New Man is spirit. We are not in the flesh. We are One with the Spirit of Jesus – the first born among many brethren. Our identity is rooted in the nature and likeness of our Father. We are sons of God – created just like Him – as Jesus is, so are we, now. Access to the state of spiritual existence lies in knowing and believing this truth. It is as God intended. We are created to live and walk in our true state of being – Spirit!
The Armour of God is the state of existence in which the New Man dwells. It is a conscious state of being in which we are called to ‘stand’ and rest. Put on the new man, which is created according to God in righteousness and true holiness. – Ephesians 4:24. It’s not something we take off and put on again… it’s the way we are created. – We have come to the knowledge of the truth by which we have been set free. (John 14:6)
The human brain receives information from the physical senses. It processes this information to create a reality – this is called our ‘mindset.’ This reality plays out in daily life. The decisions we make everyday are based on our mindset. From the time we were born, our minds have been trained to think, based on the information our brain has received. This information has come from the world around us. By default, we live according to the ways of the world.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20. When we heard the gospel of our salvation we were imparted faith that came from hearing that Word. Our human faith wasn’t sufficient to receive such a magnanimous gift of salvation, especially when we were still in sin.
