Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
2 Corinthians 4:13, “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;”
The apostle Paul shows us the importance of our spirit and mouth in experiencing Christ in the midst of our environments.
In this verse Paul quotes David from Psalm 116:10.
There David describes his afflictions and trials, and then speaks of how he called upon the name of the Lord in the midst of them.
When Paul says, “We have the same spirit of faith,” he is identifying himself with David both with David’s trials, as well as with how he handled his trials.
David’s way and Paul’s way of passing through trials was to release their spirit of faith by speaking.
To understand the spiritual law of opening our mouth to draw from our spirit of faith is the key to experiencing Christ in a practical way.
This is how Christ can become our relationship to everything.
It is also how the church is Christ in its expression.
For example, in the middle of your feelings of hurt and bitterness when you can feel them wanting to take you over, when the feelings are turning into anger, when your reasonings begin to fuel your feelings and you are about to give vent to them in words and deeds at that moment you can exercise your spirit by opening your mouth and saying, “Lord Jesus!”
When we call His name, He operates within our spirit to change us.
Thus, He becomes our relationship with others.
This is how the content of the church is Christ.
