Man is a spirit. When he is born again, he receives the life and nature of God into his spirit. The changes that are later observed in his soul and body are activated from his spirit. This is why God wants you to nurture and develop your spirit because it is only through your spirit that you can make contact with Him. You need to constantly feed and nurture your heart with the Word of God. I’m not talking about the organ that pumps blood through your body but your human spirit, which acts as the soil for the Word of God.
The human spirit feeds on the Word of God. No wonder the Lord Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). That way, even your mind becomes productive, fruitful, renewed and completely void of the devil’s thoughts and ideas. Feed your spirit with God’s Word!
God doesn’t appeal to the human mind or the senses because the mind limits God. He appeals to your spirit. He communicates and leads you through your spirit. The Bible says the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord (Proverbs 20:27). So the light of God is not in your mind but in your spirit; that’s where the Word of God illuminates.
The forces of life are domiciled in your spirit, but you’ve got to cultivate them! God’s life, character and nature are already deposited in your human spirit, but you must spend time to cultivate and nurture your spirit by learning and meditating on the Word.
