Live In The Spirit And WIth The Spirit

The number 9 is so often associated with the person and work of the Holy Spirit – it is the square of the – the number of Divine perfection – the number of the Trinity. In the next few days I will post some lists that speak of the magnificent third person of the Trinity – our indwelling Holy Spirit.

The Lord calls us to be spiritually minded people – living in Him and He in us. The concept of being “in the spirit” is important for us to consider. Walking in Him and with Him comes from daily choices to surrender all to Him.

Nine Ways to Live In the Spirit and With the Spirit

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His (Rom. 8:9; Eph. 2:22; Gal. 3:3).

The Holy Spirit flows through our human spirit and encourages us to be:

1. Prisoners (bound) in the spirit, Acts 20:22

2. Praying in the spirit, 1 Cor. 14:2; Eph. 6:18; 1 Cor. 14:15

3. Walking in the spirit, Gal. 5:16, 22; 1 Pet. 4:6

4. Living in the spirit, Gal. 5:22

5. Worshiping in the spirit, Phil. 3:3

6. Loving in the spirit, Col. 1:8

7. Singing with the spirit, 1 Cor. 14:15

8. Blessing with the spirit, 1 Cor. 14:16

9. Filled with the Spirit, Eph. 5:18 (Also Ex. 28:3; 31:3; 35:31)

Meditate on each one of these throughout this week. Call upon the Holy Spirit to draw you into deeper relationship and intimate communion with Him.
