Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
1 Corinthians 6:17, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”
The secret of Christ becoming everything to us is found in this mingled spirit, where the two spirits have become one.
Our wonderful Christ, who is our relationship with everything, is dwelling in our spirit.
Like the other parts of our being, our spirit is subject to us (1 Cor. 14:32).
When we realize that exercising our spirit is as simple as squeezing our hand, it will revolutionize our daily life.
We can enjoy Christ anytime, in any place, and under any condition.
Joining ourselves to the Lord, the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:18), to be one spirit with Him, activates a oneness in which the integrity of the two spirits and the distinction between them is still preserved (Rom. 8:16).
When we know the address of Christ in us and learn to abide with Him in that place (John 15:4-5), we can consistently experience the unsearchable riches of Christ in our daily life.
There is no need to wait for a “mountain-top” experience.
Years ago when I went to retreats, I would always feel close to God in the atmosphere of the mountains and big trees.
Then a few days later, after returning home, I would wonder what happened to those feelings.
I would try to imagine how to recapture that mountain-top atmosphere in order to be close to the Lord.
But one day I discovered the address of Christ in me.
I saw from the Word that Christ is dwelling in my spirit; and from that time forth, I began to experience Him in a way that I had never known was possible.
Until Tomorrow,
With A Shepherd’s Love
