You’re A Life-giving Spirit
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit
(1 Corinthians 6:17).
The Bible says, “And so it is written, The first
man Adam was made a living soul; the last
Adam was made a quickening spirit…The first man is
of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from
heaven” (1 Corinthians 15:45, 47). This is so powerful!
The Lord Jesus Christ is the second and last Adam; He’s
the Lord from heaven, and the Bible describes Him as a
quickening or life-giving Spirit. No wonder, everything
He touched received life. The next verse says, “As is
the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as
is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly”
(1 Corinthians 15:48). We hail from Christ; this means
we also are life-giving spirits!
This was what the Lord Jesus was referring to in
John 7:38, when He said, “He that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water.” The Greek terminology signifies
gushers or torrents of living water. Life is flowing out
of you. How does it flow? The Scripture shows that
it flows, first from your mouth, and then from your
hands. Anyone who makes contact with you in faith
or by faith can literally pull it out of you.
When Adam sinned against God, the law of death
was set in operation. The Bible says through sin, death
came into the world as a consequence of Adam’s
transgression. Life has however come by the second
and last Adam, Jesus Christ. He said: “…I came that
they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance
(to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10 AMP). Now,
not only do you have life to the full, you’ve become
a dispenser of life.
There’s no more hopelessness where it concerns
you. You can bring life into anything, no matter how
dead. The Bible says in Romans 4:17, “…even God,
who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things
which be not as though they were.” This shows what
you can do, because you’re made in His image and
in His likeness. As He is, so are you in this world (1
John 4:17).
Confession
I live in the Spirit; I also walk in the Spirit, because I’m born
of the Spirit. I’m heavenly; therefore, I live by the law
of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
I’m also a life-giving spirit, ministering the divine life to my
world. Hallelujah!
