Want to know a secret?
Among all of the things created by God, man received something very special. According to the Bible, God formed the spirit of man within him. In Zechariah 12:1 man’s human spirit is ranked as important as the creation of heaven and earth because this spirit is the key to fulfilling God’s purpose for man. You have a spirit. I have a spirit. Every man has a spirit within him.
God’s intention in creating your human spirit is so that He can live in your spirit. How can God live in your spirit? The God who created this universe became a man named Jesus and lived a perfect human life. He died on the cross for our sins and in resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45).
When the Lord Jesus became the life-giving Spirit, He immediately breathed Himself into His disciples and they received Him into their spirit (John 20:22). In like manner, the Lord as the Spirit is waiting to breathe Himself into you. You can receive Him right now by praying this prayer:
“Thank You Lord for creating a spirit within me. Thank You that You died for my sins and resurrected to become the life-giving Spirit. I receive You into my spirit right now. I want You to live in my spirit and make home in my heart. O Lord Jesus, I love You!”
In our spirit we can contact, contain, and enjoy the very God who is Spirit (John 4:24). Throughout the generations, this secret has been hidden in God’s heart. But now in reading this, God has revealed His secret to you!
