The Life Of The Spirit In You
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because
of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness
(Romans 8:10).
In the verse above, the Apostle Paul wasn’t
questioning whether Christ was in the brethren
in Rome; rather, he stirred their minds to an important
reality. He wanted them to know that Christ in them
was a vital reality, and a guarantee of a life of health
and vitality. He said if Christ is in you, though your
body may be weak and sickly, He’ll vitalize it.
Paul’s conclusion is that when you have the Holy
Spirit, you shouldn’t be sick, because your body is
vitalized by the same Spirit: “...if the Spirit of him that
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that
raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
(vitalize, make alive) your mortal bodies by his Spirit
that dwelleth in you” (Romans 8:11). The work of
the Holy Spirit in vitalizing your physical body is in
the “now”; it’s not futuristic; it’s not something that
will happen when we get to heaven; He works in you
now! Glory to God!
The Holy Spirit is the power of God; His presence
in you has settled the matter of sickness and weakness
forever, for He works and walks in you, to “fix” any
anomaly in your physical body. His life in you makes
you unconquerable. He’s the One who raised the dead
body of Jesus back to life; and now, He lives in you in
all of His glory, power and majesty.
Today, it makes no difference how much your
physical body may have been ravaged or battered by
sickness or disease; what you need is the consciousness
of the Healer in you—the Holy Spirit. He in you is your
hope to rise and walk again, and live perpetually in
divine health.
Confession
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me,
and has given life, vitality and vigour to my physical body.
I’m nourished, refreshed, and rejuvenated every day by the
Holy Spirit, who perambulates in me to keep me in health,
righteousness, and in the glory of God. Blessed be God!
