How wonderful it is that we can cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life to enjoy the divine dispensing of the Triune God daily simply by turning to our spirit!
When we believers in Christ received the Lord by believing into Him, He functioned as the law of the Spirit of life to dispense Himself as the divine life into our spirit, and our spirit became life (Rom. 8:10).
Now He is spreading from our spirit to make us men of life so that our entire tripartite being is filled with the divine life! Hallelujah!
When Christ came into us, He came as the Spirit of life, the life-giving Spirit.
The indwelling Spirit is the Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, and Christ Himself; He is a compound Spirit who gives life (see Exo. 30:22-25; Phil. 1:19; 1 Cor. 15:45; Rom. 8:2, 9-11).
God went through a process in His economy: He became a man, putting on the human nature, and He went through human living with its sufferings, death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension.
The processed and consummated Triune God in His economy is the Spirit who gives life; now God can dispense Himself into us.
On one hand, God created us with a spirit, which to Him is as important as the heavens and as the earth are (Zech. 12:1).
On the other hand, God Himself is Spirit, and He went through a process to become a life-giving Spirit to dispense Himself into us.
Now we can receive God into us as our life; we can receive the life-giving Spirit into our spirit.
The Spirit that comes into us through our faith in Christ is compounded with the Lord’s divinity, humanity, His incarnation, His human living, His crucifixion, His resurrection, and His ascension.
When we call on the name of the Lord, this bountiful Spirit is applied to us and comes into us to mingle Himself with us.
When we repent and believe into the Lord, the wonderful Spirit that is full of life and is life-giving comes into us to impart the divine life into our spirit.
Throughout the day, after believing into the Lord, we can call on the name of the Lord and be organically saved in His life (Rom. 5:10), for He is right within us, ready to impart life to every part of our inner being.
And according to Rom. 8:2, the Triune God is in us as the law of the Spirit of life to free us from the law of sin and of death on the negative side and to impart the divine life into all the parts of our inner being on the positive side.
If we just set our mind on our spirit, we will enjoy the spontaneous and effortless operation of the law of the Spirit of life to impart the divine life into all the parts of our inner being.
We may not know what we need in reality, but as soon as we turn to the Lord and live in spirit, He applies to us whatever we need in the mingled spirit.
We just need to turn to Him and contact Him; He does the rest. His operation is simply waiting for our cooperation; as soon as we grant Him a little cooperation, the divine dispensing takes place in us.
As soon as we turn to the Lord, our troubled mind is filled with life and peace.
If we give the Lord the slightest cooperation, the law of the Spirit of life operates quietly and silently to impart God as life into us.
God Functions as the Law of the Spirit of Life to Fill our Spirit, Soul, and Body with His Life
Something amazing took place when we believed into the Lord: He came into us as life, and He was installed in our being as the law of the Spirit of life (John 1:12-13; Rom. 8:2).
We may have not realized this at the time, but when we received the Lord by believing into Him, He functioned as the law of the Spirit of life to dispense Himself as the divine, uncreated life of God into our spirit.
Christ is in us and, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness (Rom. 8:10).
Our spirit is life. At least one part of our tripartite being is life, zoe life, the divine life.
The divine life was imparted into us and is constantly being imparted into our inner being because God functions as the law of the Spirit of life to fill our spirit, soul, and body with His life!
Just as the law of gravity causes objects to fall back to earth, working all the time, so the law of the Spirit of life works in us all the time to impart the divine element into every part of our being when we turn to the Lord.
Just as the law of digestion in our body regulates the digestion of the food we eat, so the divine life in us has a law, the law of the Spirit of life, which just works!
When we set our mind on our spirit, the divine dispensing works spontaneously to impart God as life into our mind.
Through the working of the law of the Spirit of life, the essence, element, and riches of the divine life are being dispensed into our being. Wow!
Christ is in us, therefore our spirit is life because of righteousness. We need to remind ourselves about this again and again.
For example, when we wake up in the morning and are before the mirror doing our morning routine, we need to tell the person in the mirror, Your spirit is life! My spirit is life!
Regardless of how we feel and our condition, our spirit is life!
When we declare that our spirit is life and we call on the name of the Lord, we activate the law of the Spirit of life.
Our spirit used to be deadened, mortified, and functionless, because it did not have God’s life in it; through regeneration, however, our spirit was vivified, enlivened, and filled with God as life.
Now our spirit is zoe, the divine life.
The processed and consummated Triune God is in our spirit, and our spirit is life!
We need to be unveiled by the Lord to realize that at least one part of our tripartite being, our spirit, is life.
If we see that our spirit is life and we’re tempted to lose our temper, we will not try to suppress our anger; rather, we will simply declare, My spirit is zoe!
If we’re about to have an exchange of words with our wife or husband, we will have an inward check and feeling that our spirit is life, so we shouldn’t get into this right now.
When we tell ourselves and tell the whole universe that, amen, our spirit is life, we will simply activate the law of the Spirit of life and we will enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity into our being!
It is a game changer for us to realize that our spirit is life and that, whenever we set our mind on our spirit, our mind becomes life and peace!
Our mind is so troublesome and wandering, but when we set it on our spirit, we activate the law of the Spirit of life and God as life is imparted into our mind to make our mind life. Wow!
Even more, the One who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells us (Rom. 8:11). How about that!
God has been installed in our being as the law of the Spirit of life, and He functions to dispense Himself as life into our spirit, soul, and body to fill us with His life!
At the time of our regeneration, our spirit became life, when we set our mind on our spirit our mind becomes life, and God imparts life into our mortal body through His Spirit who indwells us.
In this way, we become men of life, men of zoe, in our entire tripartite being so that we may become the city of life, the city of zoe, the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:6; 22:1-2, 14).
Our destiny is to be the city of life, the New Jerusalem, for God to express the riches of His life through us to the whole universe for eternity!
Praise the Lord, our spirit is life! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming into us to bring the divine life into our spirit. Grant us to see that our spirit is zoe life, the divine life, because Christ is in us! Amen, Lord, we choose to set our mind on our spirit so that our mind may also be life. We set our mind not on our flesh but on our spirit. Impart Your divine life into our mind, emotion, and will, and saturate our inner being with Yourself as life. Amen, Lord Jesus, we believe that You are giving life to our mortal bodies through the Spirit who indwells us! Hallelujah, God functions as the law of the Spirit of life to impart and dispense the divine life to our spirit, soul, and body! Praise the Lord, we are becoming men of life in our entire tripartite being to become the city of life, the New Jerusalem!
Cooperate with the Law of the Spirit of Life to enjoy the Divine Dispensing and be Prepared as the Bride of Christ to Bring Him Back

May the Lord have mercy on us and cause us to see that we don’t primarily need to DO things for Him or STRIVE to be better so that we may please Him; rather, what we need is to cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life in our spirit.
God has been installed in us as the law of the Spirit of life, and we simply need to cooperate with Him by turning to our spirit.
In our daily life, we need to do so many things and take care of so many responsibilities; as we do this and that, we need to keep turning to the Lord to contact Him.
Our spirit is life; when we set our mind on our spirit, our mind becomes life.
When we set our mind on our spirit, we cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life, and we enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.
Just as the law of life in a peach tree causes that tree to bear peaches as fruits, so the law of the Spirit of life operating in us causes us to live Christ as long as we activate it and cooperate with it.
Just as the law of the life of an eagle causes the baby eagle to fly and soar above all, so the law of the Spirit of life in us will cause us to be like Christ and be persons filled with the divine life.
The law of the Spirit of life operates in us spontaneously and effortlessly; we just need to cooperate with it and activate it.
We activate the lights by turning on the switch, and the light simply comes on; we activate the law of the Spirit of life simply by turning to our spirit, and the divine dispensing will simply operate in us.
It is easy for us to live under the divine dispensing because this dispensing takes place in us all the time; we simply need to turn to the Lord!
He is operating in us all the time; we just need to cooperate.
As soon as we say Amen to His operation, as soon as we open to Him even a little, we cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life and the divine dispensing operates in us.
We may be struggling with our temper, and it may be quite easy for us to lose our temper.
Next time when we’re about to lose our temper, we shouldn’t struggle and say, I shouldn’t do this, I shouldn’t do this.
Rather, we simply need to turn to the Lord and call on His name.
We can even tell Him, Lord, thank You, my spirit is life! Impart life into my soul! Make my soul life!
As soon as we activate the law of the Spirit of life, the divine dispensing continues in us, and we will spontaneously not lose our temper.
In our family life, as we have conversations with our children, our siblings, and our spouse, we need to be aware that our spirit is life.
We need to keep turning to our spirit.
Our mind may wander and get off at the wrong station, so we need to pray that the Lord would strengthen us into our inner man with His power through His Spirit so that He may make His home in our heart.
We shouldn’t “get off at the wrong station”, that is, we shouldn’t get off at the station of our flesh or our self; we should “get back on the train” and get off at the station of our spirit and simply stay there!
In 2 Chron. 20:17 the Lord spoke through the prophet and said to the king and the people, It is not for you to fight the battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Jehovah among you.
It is not for us to overcome our temper. It is not for us to strive to be a better believer.
It is not for us to try to be a better husband or a more loving wife. It is not for us to strive against the lusts and so many temptations.
We need to simply station ourselves in the spirit, at the station of the spirit and remain in the refuge of our spirit.
If we remain in our spirit, we will cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life, and the divine dispensing will operate in us to fulfil God’s purpose in us.
As we enjoy and experience the divine dispensing in this way by activating the law of the Spirit of life, this life will prepare us to be the bride of Christ.
As we cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life that has been installed in our being, the divine life is dispensed into our spirit, soul, and body.
We can experience this as we do our job at the office, when we’re with our family, when we travel, and in all things.
We simply need to cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life which has been installed in our being.
Lord Jesus, thank You for coming into us as life to impart life to our spirit, soul, and body. Thank You for being installed in us as the law of the Spirit of life. We want to cooperate with the installed law of the Spirit of life in our spirit. Amen, Lord, we set our mind on our spirit. We praise You, Lord, for making our spirit life! We choose to simply set our mind on the spirit so that our mind may become life! Strengthen us into our inner man, dear Lord, with Your power through the Spirit so that we may allow You to make Your home in all our heart. Keep us under Your divine dispensing today. Keep us turning to You, Lord, and receiving Your dispensing. We give up our efforts to be better, to improve, and to please God; we just want to cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life installed in our spirit! Dispense Yourself into our being, Lord, and saturate our spirit, soul, and body with Your life!

We all need to see the vision of the dispensing of the life of the Triune God into the three parts of our being…We need to say to the Lord, “Lord, I thank You. Since You came into me, my spirit has become life. Now if I set my mind on my spirit, my mind also will be life. O Lord, how I praise You! Through Your indwelling Spirit, Your zoe life can be dispensed even into my mortal body. Lord, I worship You for this.” Our God is the Triune God who has passed through incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Now He is the all-inclusive Spirit to be the divine zoe for our participation, experience, and enjoyment. First, He dispenses Himself into our spirit, the center of our being. From the center, He spreads into our mind and saturates it with zoe. Then He expands into our mortal body and thereby makes our whole being zoe. In this way, we become men of zoe. Life-study of Romans, pp. 649-653, by Witness Lee
what a revelation: our spirit is life!
And when we set our mind on our spirit, our mind becomes life!
And God will give life even to our mortal body through His Spirit who indwells us! Hallelujah!
When we turn to the Lord and contact Him in spirit, we activate the law of the Spirit of life, and we remain under the divine dispensing.

When we received the Lord, we received the eternal, uncreated life of God in our spirit, so that we can declare with boldness my spirit is zoe!
When we set our mind on the spirit our soul is enlivened and then this Spirit of life will give life to our mortal bodies. Praise the Lord!
As we enjoy this divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity we become men of zoe!
When tempted to lose our temper or gossip we can declare “my spirit is zoe” to experience the law of the Spirit of life automatically and spontaneously!
God’s intention is to saturate our whole being with the zoe life.
For this, He has implanted in us a law which spontaneously dispenses the law of Christ into our spirit, soul & body.
However, this law can only spread from our spirit to the rest of our being with our cooperation. Time & again, we’re told to turn to our spirit.
Only when our mind is set on the things of Christ can the law of the Spirit of life achieve its true intention.
May we never cease to turn away from our soul & flesh and set our mind on the spirit.
Amen yes Lord we chose to set our mind on our spirit so that it becomes life.
Lord dispense yourself into my whole being and that my whole being may have life.
Amen! May the Lord dispense Himself into us daily

we need to now set out mind on the Spirit.
when set our mind on our spirit, we get life into our soul and eventually we will have life in our Body,
Hallelujah, our spirit is Zoe, our minds are becoming Zoe, and even our mortal bodies of death will be Zoe!
Hallelujah, we are being made holy, becoming God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. This is to reach the high peak of the divine revelation.
God becoming man, to make man God in life and in nature but not in His Godhead.
I enjoyed to see that anger, and bad temper are signs of our short of zoe life.
When we fill this way we need to enter to the zoe station in our spirit, calling the Lord and pray reading His word!
Ameeeenn!!!! Hallelujah!!!
Lord zoefy us in our tripartite being- spirit, soul, and body. Make us persons of life and constituents of the city of life, the New Jerusalem!! Amen.
