5 Ways to Cultivate the Spirit Man within You
She wanted it badly, so badly, spiritually hungry she was but solely for his
undiluted word, that was free from the countenances of this world. Her heart poured
constantly for him, when she was alone, He was all she listened to, her heart
constantly incorporating and loving him. She heard many people talk about how
God had spoken to them, And she wished more than any other thing in life, He
would speak to her. She watched her actions carefully and fled from a life of
sin, pure was all she was becoming....
"Lord I don't want to struggle anymore, fight my battles for me."
CULTIVATING SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY
Once you function on being led by the spirit, you begin to
avoid a lot of danger and then you are bound to make the right decisions in
life. Your decisions will not be rooted on what you can see with your eyes. Your
decisions will not be according to mental calculation. Your decision will be
based solely on guidance that yields from God. Many people do not receive
guidance from the holy spirit, because the holy spirit gives voice to your
spirit man, and if you are not spiritually sensitive, you will eventually not be
able to pick up information that the holy spirit is putting in your spirit.
Pray
The very first thing you have to do is by having a prayer life. It will help you build
spiritual sensitivity. The bible tells us in Judge 10:20:
"Build up yourself in the most holy faith".
1st Corinthians 14:4
"He who speaks in an unknown tongue, he edifies himself".
In other words, he builds up himself, he strengthens up
himself .What does it mean to pray in the spirit
or to pray in tongues? When you are filled with the holy spirit and then pray
in the spirit, the holy spirit will enable you speak in other tongues. As you keep
speaking and declaring in tongues, you are
giving way to your spirit man and you are gradually developing spiritual
sensitivity.
The spirit man lives by
the word of God, so if you want to build spiritual sensitivity you need to
somebody who knows how to read, you must feed your spirit with the word of God.
A lot of times, you feed your body with three square meals a day, but then you
feed your spirit man one cold snack a week in a whole month and you expect your
spirit man to grow is not possible.
Meditate
Another way of developing your spirit, is to
meditate on God's word, don't just depend on reading alone, you have to
meditate. What does it mean to meditate on the word of God? It means that when
you have read a line or two in the scripture, close your eyes and then think
about what you have read, you know as you begin to think about it more, more
light and revelation will come on what you have actually read. This is what
the bible was referring to in the book of Joshua:
"If you want to have good success, if you want to prosper, even though I am with you, I need you to meditate upon the word day and night".
the bible says
"So that you shall have good success in life".
Fast
Another way you can build up your spirit man, is by fasting.
What fasting does, is that, it puts your flesh under, it puts your physical
senses under and it allows your spirit man to come up. It allows your spirit to become more sensitive. Now why is it that when you fast, you get results in
prayer? It is not that when you fast, God would say
"this person is suffering, let me answer his prayer".
No, what actually happens to you
when you fast is that, your spirit man comes up
higher than your flesh, and is able to become spiritually sensitive to pick
information from God. When your spirit man is alive and alert and then you pray in that stage, your prayers become very powerful, because your prayers are
directed by the holy spirit. That is why when it is important to pray, it is
important to fast and it is still important to study the word of God.
Stay Away From Sin
Another thing that you need to do to build up your spiritual sensitivity is to stay away from sin and live a life of obedience. Do you know that every
time you keep disobeying God, your spiritual sensitivity will be very weak? Stop living in disobedience. If God has said
"Do not do this thing" .
Please don't do it! There is no need, you cannot win the battle against the
word of God, God made you!
He understands how life is meant to be, so that you could
get the best out of life. You can not just decide
"It's my life I can do what I like!".
God knows the best way to get out of life, so anything
God tells you to do, just go ahead and do it! He will help you!
Spiritual Exercise
And lastly, definitely get involved in any sort of spiritual exercise. The Bible says
"Physical exercise profited little, but spiritual exercise gains this life and the life to come".
Examples of spiritual exercise is getting involved in
activities, sowing seeds and basically any activities that will help you train. This does not just involve sitting in church and looking pretty or handsome! There are spiritual classes, you can opt for. You plan to build up your spirit man, go for missions where you are talking
to people about the Lord Jesus.
These are five of the things you will do to build up your
spirit man. Mostly, nourish your spirit with the word of God and ensure that your
spirit man is praying. Ensure that you maintain a close walk and commune with God on a daily basis and you will realize that your
spiritual sensitivity will begin to pick up and enjoy life!
And
it worked, like play, like play, God was there all along, right in the center of
her heart. She did not need to go find him elsewhere. He had been testing her,
training her, preserving her, keeping her and most of all valuing her like a precious gem. He made
her fight, fight for what she believed in, overcame to be less of herself and
more of Him. A heavy
power had came over her, that could overcome every bone and flesh in her body. It
was divine, heavenly, awakening, her soul was on fire.
