God has deposited in your spirit His own life-producing faith. It’s yours to use just like He does, to create where creation is needed and to move mountains that stand in your way. To use your faith effectively, however, you can’t just focus on externals, thinking and talking like unbelievers do. You must develop your spirit and learn to live like someone from another world. Here are some points to get you there:
- Your reborn spirit is the real you, the central core of your identity. Romans 8:9: “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.”
- Your spirit is what makes you alive. John 6:63: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
- Keep your spirit strong and your faith well-nourished by feeding on The WORD. Proverbs 4:20, 22: “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. For they are life unto those that find them, and health [medicine] to all their flesh.”
- Exercise your spirit by praying in other tongues and walking in love. Jude 1:20-21: “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God….”
- Don’t expect the world to understand your lifestyle of faith. 1 Corinthians 2:14: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
