For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
(Romans 1:9)
Just as there are physical activities, there are also spiritual activities. Spiritual activities are those performed through the spirit. While there may be physical involvement, these activities are fundamentally spiritual. In our opening discussion, Paul says that he serves God with his spirit. Before we delve into spiritual activities, let me clarify that when I refer to the spirit, I am talking about the re-created spirit. When a person receives Christ and is born again, their spirit is made new. They are now born of the Holy Spirit, and their human spirit becomes one with the Holy Spirit. This is the spirit of a child of God. When Adam sinned, he first died spiritually, and eventually, he died physically as well. When a person is born again, they are no longer spiritually dead as Adam was; instead, their spirit is made alive.
Their spirit now contains the life of God and has spiritual abilities. In Christ, you are a child of God, and your spirit is made alive. Your spirit carries tremendous power.
When you pray, it’s not just about pouring out your requests before your Heavenly Father—there’s much more happening. Especially, when you pray in tongues, your spirit is unleashing its power, creating things in the realm of the Spirit, reshaping your future, and bringing dynamic change to your circumstances.
In the same way, when you pray for others or focus on a specific situation where you desire change, it is your spirit that generates the power and is responsible for bringing about that change. Often, you are giving instructions, according to God’s wisdom, to the ministering spirits who are involved in establishing the will of God in your country, nation, situation, or circumstances.
The best part is that the more you use your spirit and engage in spiritual activities, the more you become enlightened to your spiritual capabilities. Unless you explore, you may never realize how powerful you are in Christ Jesus.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank You that in Christ Jesus, my spirit is alive. I am Your child, and You have given me dynamic abilities in my spirit. I recognize my spiritual capabilities, and I walk in the perfect will You have for me. I fulfill all my spiritual responsibilities and accomplish Your perfect will on earth. In Jesus’ name, Amen
