And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 NKJV
Genesis 2:7; God breathed His Spirit into us. This is easy to read but how is this key scripture applied to our life today? I believe that part of becoming who God created us to be, is to learn how to operate in the Spirit. We are here but for a short time to fulfill the purposes of the Lord and the Spirit within us helps us do this. His Spirit is what brings us to life. When we choose to go deeper, hungering for more of the Father, an activation occurs from within and the Spirit begins to go to work. New doors begin opening and our eyes begin to see differently. We slowly become equipped to carry out the plans of the Lord.
When I think about how God’s Spirit works within me, I picture how a vessel works. We are vessels for the Lord to use. He fills our cups to overflow. As He pours into us, our being (our spirit), we release what the Father has given to us to help others. He refills our cups, restoring what we have given away. A vessel stores things. These things can be poured out and replenished. Just as the Father fills us up, he also replaces what has been used. We are never in need because the spirit within us is constantly being revived. The more that we become who the Father intended us to be, the more we transform, leaving all the things of the world behind becoming full of love, joy, peace; all the Fruit of the Spirit. When this transformation takes place, we begin living in accordance to the Holy Spirit within us. This unity brings about all the goodness of God. All that God has intended for us to be is now activated and we can begin to take our new identity, walking out our life in union with the Father. The light, the Spirit within us, begins to radiate from within and shines for the one who is in front of us.
I think this blueprint design that God has intended for us, is part of the process of life. As we learn to let go of the worldly ways and thoughts, we learn to become full of Gods Spirit moving in and through His love. As we release baggage of ways of the world, we become lighter and hunger to share our Father with the world. This is how we love the one in front of us. We are temporary residents here. We are living in this world but not of it. We belong to the kingdom of God and we inherit His kingdom becoming sons and daughters when we accept Jesus Christ our Savior. Our Sonship begins when we say Yes! The Great Architect has a blueprint design for each of us. It’s up to us to find this design, our destinies. It’s our choice to want to learn and to move and operate from the Spirit within. God has purposed ALL of our ways. It’s time to get back to the basics and begin to tread the ancient ways.
