Enjoy the Divine Capacity of the Law of the Spirit of Life Operating in us Today

We believers in Christ have the inner law of life, the law of the Spirit of life, which functions in us and has the divine capacity to enable us to live God, be constituted with God, become the same as God in life and nature, and be constituted as members of the Body of Christ with many functions! Hallelujah!

Thank the Lord for coming into us as life, even to be the law of the Spirit of life in our being!

As human beings, we are born of our parents, and we are born in sin; there is a law in our members called the law of sin and of death, which operates constantly.

The law of sin and of death is more powerful than our willing to do good.

This is why many times people in the world realize that, even though they try their best to do the good, for they agree with doing good and with pleasing God, they have no way to do it, for at soon as they try to do the good, evil is present with them.

We are not born evil; rather, Satan is in our flesh, and he works in us as a law, a spontaneous and automatic principle, to overcome us whenever we try to do the good.

We need to enter into another realm, a realm where we are overcoming the law of sin and of death, and this realm is the law of the Spirit of life!

Praise the Lord, we believers in Christ have been regenerated by God and Christ came into us as the Spirit to be

installed in us as the law of the Spirit of life! Now all we need to do is turn to our spirit, set our mind on our spirit, and do all things in our spirit, and we will spontaneously overcome the law of sin and of death.

Even more, the divine life in us with its law, the law of the Spirit of life, not only causes us to overcome anything evil but also shapes us in the image of Christ, causing us to be the same as He is.

Just as the law of the life of a cat shapes that cat in the image of a cat, and the cat grows and behaves like a cat, doing the things that a cat would do, so the law of the Spirit of life not only overcomes Satan in us but shapes us in the image of Christ.

As we turn our heart to the Lord and set our mind on our spirit day by day, we enjoy the Lord as the law of the Spirit of life operating in us, and this inner operating law shapes us in the image of Christ to conform us to His image and make us the same as He is! Praise the Lord!

As long as we set our mind on the spirit and walk according to the spirit in our daily life, there’s an inner process of transformation that renews us, sanctifies us, transforms us, and conforms us to the image of Christ.

God in us as the law of the Spirit of life does everything: we simply need to activate this law, that is, be in Christ Jesus by being in our mingled spirit!

The Key to our Living and Serving in the Body is the Law of the Spirit of Life Operating in us

Today we are in the age of the New Testament, and we are not required by God to fulfill the law but simply believe into Him (John 3:16).

If we just believe into the Lord, if we repent and believe into Christ as the Son of God who died for us to redeem us, we are regenerated and become children of God (John 1:12-13). Praise the Lord!

As believers in Christ, we today are beneficiaries of the new covenant, and the center of the new covenant is the inner law of life (Jer. 31:33; Rom. 8:2).

God made a new covenant with us in which He promises to put His law into our inward parts and write it upon our hearts, so that He may be our God and we may be His people.

The law we have to keep today is the inner law of life, the law of the Spirit of life, which is activated whenever we contact the Lord and remain in fellowship with Him.

As we contact the Lord by exercising our spirit and living in the mingled spirit, we will simply know all things, for the inner law of life imparts all that God is into us.

The whole key to our living and serving in the Body of Christ is the law of the Spirit of life, which operates within us.

We all can testify that the Lord lives in us, and so many times throughout the day the law of the Spirit of life operates in us to expose certain things that are of darkness and death, and we also receive the life supply from the Lord.

What we have today is not an outward law that we need to keep but an inward law, which is the Spirit of life as the law.

The life-giving Spirit, as the reality of the all-inclusive Christ and of the processed and consummated Triune God, is in us as the law of the Spirit of life.

Everything God did, everything He accomplished, and everything that He is is now in our spirit as the law of the Spirit of life operating in us spontaneously and effortlessly.

God is no longer merely up in the heavens, dwelling in unapproachable light; He has been embodied in Christ who became a life-giving Spirit, and this Spirit is now in our spirit as the law of the Spirit of life for us to know God intimately and subjectively. Praise the Lord!

The inner law of life remains in our being all the time and reminds us that the processed and consummated Triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit – is with us all the time.

This is the key to our living and serving in the Body of Christ – the law of the Spirit of life which operates within us.

This law of the Spirit of life makes us God in life, nature, and expression but not in the Godhead, shaping us into the image of the firstborn Son of God so that we may become His corporate expression (see Rom. 8:2, 29). Hallelujah!

This law of the Spirit of life operates in us to inwardly change us, shape us, and constitute us with God so that we may become the same as Christ. Praise the Lord!

Furthermore, the law of the Spirit of life constitutes us the members of the Body of Christ with all kinds of functions (Eph. 4:11-12, 16).

When we turn to our spirit and contact the Lord, we switch on the law of the Spirit of life, and we are inwardly supplied with everything we need for us to live the Christian life and to serve the Lord in the Body.

On the one hand, the inner law of life supplies us with all that God is for us to live Christ and express Him, even to become the same as He is.

On the other hand, the law of the Spirit of life produces in us the functions we need for the building up of the church as the Body of Christ. Praise the Lord!

Hallelujah, the Triune God was processed and consummated to become the life-giving Spirit coming into our spirit to be installed in our being as the law of the Spirit of life! Praise the Lord, we are in Christ Jesus, and the law of the Spirit of life frees us from the law of sin and of death! Amen, Lord, we exercise our spirit today to contact You and enjoy You. We set our mind on our spirit. We want to heed our spirit so that we may know You subjectively, partake of all Your riches, and be constituted with You. Thank You, Lord, for giving us not an outward law for us to keep but an inward law, the law of the Spirit of God! Hallelujah, we believers in Christ enjoy the law of the Spirit of life, and God is writing His law on our heart and He puts them in our inward parts! Wow, Lord, we say Amen, write more of Yourself with all that You are in our inward parts! Inscribe us with Yourself. Constitute us as members of the Body of Christ with all kinds of functions for the building up of the Body!

The Divine Capacity in the Law of the Spirit of Life Conforms us to the Image of Christ and Constitutes us Members of the Body with all kinds of Functions

How we thank and praise the Lord that He did not just come to give us some rules and regulations or an outward law but He Himself came into us as the law of the Spirit of life!

We believers in Christ, the genuine Christians who are born again to be children of God, have in us an inner law of life which has a divine capacity.

The divine capacity of the inner law of life is very powerful, even almighty.

There is a capacity in the law of the Spirit of life in our spirit which can do everything in us for the fulfillment of God’s purpose. Amazing!

1 John 5:4 tells us that he who is born of God overcomes the world, and the victory over the world is our faith, which is our organic union with the Lord.

We know that the world is very attractive and attracting, and there’s no way for us to overcome the world in ourselves; however, the law of the Spirit of life in our spirit can cause us to overcome the world.

The divine capacity of the law of the Spirit of life in our spirit can cause us to live God and express God.

This divine capacity causes us believers in Christ to be constituted with God.

As we contact the Lord and fellowship with Him, we know Him in an inner, subjective way, in the way of being constituted with Him.

The anointing in us teaches us all things, and there’s no need for anyone to teach us, for the Lord subjectively and intimately teaches us concerning all things so that we may abide in the Lord (1 John 2:23, 27).

When we contact the Lord by exercising our spirit, we activate the law of the Spirit of life, and the divine capacity in the this inner law causes us to be conformed to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29).

This inner law of life with its divine capacity causes us to be constituted with God to be His corporate expression.

We will never become the same as Christ in His Godhead, but we are being made the same as Christ in life, nature, expression, and function to express Him corporately! Praise the Lord!

The more we remain in the touch with the Lord, the more we are becoming the same as he is, to be His increase, His enlargement, to be His fullness to express Him! Praise the Lord!

This is truly the highest aspect of the capacity of the inner law of life.

The inner law of life also has the divine capacity to make us members of the Body of Christ with many functions for the building up of the Body (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 5:30).

As long as we activate the law of the Spirit of life, we have the functions that we need to build up the church as the Body of Christ.

May we realize that this divine capacity in the law of the Spirit of life in our spirit is able to make us functioning members in the Body!

All we need to do is exercise our spirit.

We don’t need to try to function nor do we need to do this or that for the Lord in ourselves and according to what we know; rather, we simply need to contact the Lord and remain in fellowship with Him, and we will function in the Body for the building up of the Body.

May we all be deeply impressed with the centrality and function of the inner law of life, and may we cooperate with the Lord for this inner law of life to operate in us.

God in His economy wants to dispense all that He is into us so that we may be regenerated, renewed, transformed, and conformed to the image of Christ, and He does this by means of the law of the Spirit of life.

Thank the Lord, we have the divine life in our spirit, which is the Triune God in Christ as the Spirit in our spirit.

Hallelujah, this divine life in us has a law with a divine capacity which causes us not only to know God but also to live God, become the same as Christ, and be functioning members of the Body of Christ.

May we cooperate with the Lord daily by turning to Him, enjoying Him, and fellowshipping with Him so that the law of the Spirit of life may be activated in us and cause us to live God, express God, and function in the church life for the building up of the church.

When we come together with the saints and see that all the saints cooperate with the law of the Spirit of life, we are so happy to see the Lord’s work in one another and to be built up together!

What a wonderful law of life we have in our spirit!

How wonderful it is to see this law of life operating in us and in all the saints to conform us to the image of Christ and cause us to be functioning members in the Body!

Lord Jesus, we praise You for coming into us as the law of the Spirit of life with the divine capacity to make us the same as Christ in every possible way! Amen, Lord, we believe into You and we want to remain in the touch with You so that we may be able to live God, express God, and manifest God! We stop our striving and our struggling and we simply turn to our spirit. Amen, Lord, we want to switch on the law of the Spirit of life by being in our spirit, where Christ is, so that we may become part of Your corporate expression and enlargement on the earth! Oh Lord, constitute us with Yourself. We open to You. Make us the members of the Body of Christ who function in their measure according to the inner operation of the law of life. Hallelujah, the Triune God is dispensing all that He is into us by the law of the Spirit of life to conform us to the image of Christ and to constitute us members of the Body of Christ with all kinds of functions for the building up of the Body!
