The Spirit Mingled with our spirit is the Key to our Fellowship with God in Spirit

The Lord became a life-giving Spirit to be joined to us as one spirit, and today the Lord is with our spirit, even one with us in spirit; the Spirit with our spirit is the key to our fellowship with God as believers in Christ. Hallelujah!

We need to know that the Lord is with our spirit and realize that grace is with our spirit for our enjoyment and supply.

Christ with our spirit is our empowering grace for us to enjoy, partake of, be empowered by, and be enabled by so that we may minister the healthy teaching of God’s eternal economy.

Christ is the center and circumference of God’s economy.

In these perilous days at the end of this age, we need to be under the healthy teaching of God’s eternal economy so that we may be preserved from the degradation of the church.

We need to speak the healthy teaching of God’s eternal economy, be under the healthy speaking of God’s economy, and do all things for the building up of the Body of Christ.

The grace of Christ enables us and empowers us today to live a proper Christian life and to be ministers of the new covenant, ministers of the New Testament ministry.

In order for us to be empowered by grace, we need to exercise our mingled spirit and live in the mingled spirit, for the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit.

Grace is the Lord Jesus Himself coming to us to be our enjoyment and our portion in everything.

When Christ came, grace came. When Christ comes to us, grace comes to us.

Grace is Christ Himself coming to us in spirit to be our enjoyment and supply for us to live a life for the fulfilment of God’s eternal purpose.

We enjoy the grace of God with our spirit by exercising our spirit day by day.

Where is grace today? Grace is with our spirit.

How can we enjoy the saving grace, the empowering grace, and the ever-present grace?

It is only by exercising our spirit and being in our mingled spirit.

As we are empowered by the grace of God, we will be enabled to be faithful ministers for us to minister the things of God’s eternal economy.

May we be those who fan our spirit into flame day by day so that we may enjoy the rich capital of our Christian life and church life!

Praise the Lord, we have an unsearchably rich capital in our Christian life and church life – the grace of Christ with our spirit. Hallelujah!

When we exercise our spirit, we allow the Triune God who lives in our spirit to penetrate and saturate all the parts of our inner being. Praise the Lord!

The Spirit Mingled with our Spirit is the Key to our Fellowship with God in Spirit

Most believers in Christ know that Christ lives in them, for at the time of their regeneration, Christ came into them.

Yes, Christ today is in us, but where in our being is Christ today? Christ as life came into us, specifically, in our spirit.

2 Tim. 4:22 says, The Lord be with your spirit.

Where is Christ today? Christ is with our spirit. Praise the Lord!

There is a particular spot in our being where God can be located: our spirit.

We should never forget that Christ as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45) is today in our spirit.

1 Cor. 6:17 further tells us that we are joined to the Lord as one spirit; because the Lord as the Spirit came into our spirit, these two spirits are joined as one. Praise the Lord!

We need to know these key verses related to the Lord and us being one: 1 Cor. 15:45, 2 Cor. 3:17, 2 Tim. 4:22, and 1 Cor. 6:17.

Because Christ today is the life-giving Spirit, when we believe into the Lord, our spirit receives Him, contains Him, and is joined to Him as one spirit.

We have an inner part in our being, past our body and our soul, which is our human spirit.

When Christ as the Spirit comes into us, He comes in our spirit and mingles Himself with us as one spirit.

He is so joined to us as one spirit that it is not easy to distinguish between the two, for the divine Spirit is mingled with our spirit.

The Spirit mingled with our spirit is the key to our fellowship with God, which fellowship is in spirit.

The Bible clearly tells us that in His resurrection Christ became a life-giving Spirit, and this life-giving Spirit has come into our spirit to be mingled with us as one spirit.

This is not just theology; this is something related to our experience.

Today the Lord is the Spirit, and the Lord who is the Spirit is with our spirit; our spirit and the divine Spirit have been mingled into one spirit.

What we believers in Christ have today is a mingled spirit – the Spirit mingled with our spirit.

The divine Spirit mingles Himself with our spirit to become one mingled spirit.

Rom. 8:4 tells us to walk according to the spirit; this spirit is not just the divine Spirit nor just the human spirit but the mingled spirit.

This is the secret and the key to us enjoying all that God is and being in fellowship with God.

The Creator of the universe has come to be a man, went through human living, death, resurrection, and ascension, and as the Spirit, He came to mingle Himself with our spirit.

Now God can be located: He is not just in the heavens, far above all things, but He is in our spirit!

The Spirit mingled with our spirit is the key for us to fellowship with God, contact God, know God, and participate in all the things that God has for us.

Our human spirit is so important to God that Zech. 12:1 says that God stretched forth the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the spirit of man within him.

The heavens are very important, the earth is also very important, and in God’s eyes, our human spirit is as important as the heavens and the earth because He can come to mingle Himself with our spirit. Praise the Lord!

The Lord as the Spirit with our spirit, the two spirits mingled together as one spirit, is the key to the spiritual fellowship of the regenerated tripartite believers with the consummated Triune God (Rom. 8:16; John 4:24; Rom. 1:9).

May we never miss the key. The key to unlocking all the spiritual realities, including our fellowship with God, is the Spirit mingled with our spirit, that is, our mingled spirit.

The key for us as believers in Christ to fellowship with the processed and consummated Triune God is the Spirit mingled with our spirit.

How can men like us, who are so low, so mean, and so sinful, contact the most holy God?

The only way is by exercising our spirit. God has become a wonderful Spirit and has come into our spirit to be joined with and mingled with us, and we are now one spirit with the Lord.

We can contact the Lord. We can fellowship with Him. and we can be one with Him in our spirit.

We need to exercise our mingled spirit, remain in our spirit, and live in our spirit, and we will live in the reality of being one spirit with the Lord.

We shouldn’t try to merely understand God with our mind, feel Him with our emotion, or decide things concerning Him with our will; we need to simply know the Lord intimately and spiritually by exercising our spirit.

Lord Jesus, thank You for becoming a life-giving Spirit to come into us and be joined to us as one spirit! Hallelujah, we have a human spirit, and Christ as the Spirit comes into us to mingle Himself as the Spirit with our spirit! Amen, Lord, we open to You today; come in and mingle Yourself more with us. Keep us in our mingled spirit. Keep us in the oneness of the divine Spirit with the human spirit. We want to be joined to You all the time, remaining in the mingled spirit, so that we may live one spirit with You. Thank You for becoming the wonderful life-giving Spirit who has come into our spirit to be mingled with our spirit. We want to live in the mingled spirit today. We want to walk according to the mingled spirit today. Oh Lord, our human spirit contains You and we are one with You in spirit! Praise the Lord, there’s a spot in our being where God in Christ as the Spirit is one with us! Amen, Lord, we choose to walk according to the Spirit mingled with our spirit today!

The Lord as the Spirit with our Spirit – the Mingled Spirit – is the Secret of all the Aspects of God’s Organic Salvation

God does not just want to save us from eternal perdition and bring us where He is for us to be with Him forever; He wants to save us organically in His life to make us the same as He is. Wow!

God’s salvation has two aspects: the judicial aspect and the organic aspect.

God’s judicial redemption was accomplished by Christ when He died on the cross.

Based on His judicial redemption, He is now saving us in His life in His organic salvation.

The key to all the aspects of God’s organic salvation is the Spirit with our spirit.

The Spirit mingled with our spirit, the mingled spirit, is the skillfulness, the secret, of all the aspects of God’s organic salvation (Rom. 8:16; John 3:6; Titus 3:5; Eph. 4:23; 2 Cor. 3:17-18).

If we want to cooperate with God’s organic salvation, we simply need to contact the Lord as the Spirit with our spirit.

In His organic salvation, God regenerates us, sanctifies us, renews us, transforms us, conforms us to the image of Christ, and glorifies us.

All these stages of God’s organic salvation which we are experiencing today involve the exercise of our spirit, that is, the exercise of the Spirit with our spirit.

We cannot experience God’s organic salvation apart from the mingled spirit.

For us to touch the reality of all the stages of God’s organic salvation, we need to exercise our spirit.

Whenever we are in our mingled spirit and remain one spirit with the Lord, we are saved much more in the Lord’s life organically.

When we were regenerated, when we were first saved, we were not just convinced by someone concerning the gospel but even more, something happened in our spirit.

The Lord as the Spirit came into our spirit and joined Himself with our spirit to be one spirit with us.

Regeneration or being born again is receiving the divine life into our spirit, that is, receiving the Lord as the life-giving Spirit in our spirit and being joined to Him as one spirit. Hallelujah!

Through regeneration, our spirit became alive, for it was mingled with the vivifying Spirit of God, the life-giving Spirit.

This is what began our organic salvation.

Every stage of our organic salvation is a matter in spirit; it does affect our soul and will even affect our mortal body, but the secret is the Spirit mingled with our spirit.

This is why we need to fan our spirit into flame every day.

We need to exercise our spirit, contact the Lord in spirit, and fan our spirit into flame so that we may remain in spirit and do all things in the mingled spirit.

When we do all things in our spirit and walk in the mingled spirit, we will enjoy the Lord’s organic salvation in its many aspects.

This is because the life-giving Spirit is joined to our spirit, and this Spirit is also the regenerating Spirit, the renewing Spirit, the sanctifying Spirit, the transforming Spirit, the conforming Spirit, and the Spirit that will eventually glorify us by saturating us fully with the Lord! Hallelujah!

May we all learn the secret, as Paul did in Phil. 4:12.

May we learn the secret to all the aspects of God’s organic salvation by exercising our spirit and learning to live in the mingled spirit.

May we never forget that the Spirit is mingled with our spirit, we have a mingled spirit, and we need to exercise our spirit.

Lord Jesus, we want to learn the secret to unlock all the aspects of God’s organic salvation in our experience today. Hallelujah, the secret is the Spirit with our spirit! Amen, Lord, thank You for joining Yourself to our spirit to become one spirit with us. Thank You for our mingled spirit. We want to learn the secret to be saved much more in the life of God by exercising our spirit, by being in our spirit, and by living in our mingled spirit! Amen, Lord, in all situations, in all things, and in all environments, we want to exercise our spirit. May the divine Spirit with our human spirit be the prominent part of our being. May these two spirits mingled as one be the secret to our unlocking all the spiritual things and blessings that God has for us. Amen, Lord, keep us in our spirit today. We exercise our spirit to be one spirit with You in all things. Live in us today. Transform us today. Conform us more to Your image. Carry out Your organic salvation in us!
