Spirit and Life
Devotions:
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." John 6:63 KJV
Anything that we do that has its origins in the flesh is of no eternal value. Everything that we do, we do in the flesh but the question is where is the origin. When we walk by the Spirit then we are then profitable to ourselves and to God. When we walk by the Spirit we are then walking by the power of God. When we worship if we try to present to God what we have worked up then we are walking by the flesh. When we worship in response to the Spirit then we walk in spirit and life. When we minister by the leading of the Spirit then we minister life. When we are just ministering by our mind then our ministry will be of no value. We will pray and get no answer.
This is why we are to walk by the Spirit in order to walk in victory. When we walk by the Spirit we are walking with God. As we walk by the Spirit we are renewed by the Spirit.
Jesus said that His words were spirit and life. It is our words that will release life as we speak what the Father has said. Jesus says that He only said what the Father has said. As we speak what the Father says we speak life to our bodies and we will speak life to others.
