John 21:17 “He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.”   There are three methods that the believer can use to feed their spirits. The first and most common method (which we have already discussed) is to simply read the word of God, and all believers who desire to gr

Luke 4:4 “But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'”   As we have seen in the previous section, scripture identifies two main categories of believers i.e. babes in Christ and mature believers. And so the question is asked how do believer’s transition from being babes in Christ (where all believers start out) to becoming spiritually mature. To answer that question we can look to the natural. There are two key

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.  (2)  I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; (3) for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?”    We have stated thus far that all believers come into the kingdom of God as babe

Luke 2:40 “And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.”   One of the main differences between the New and Old Testament saints is that the New Testament saints can grow in spirit. The reason New Testament saints can grow strong in spirit is because they are born-again, whereas the Old Testament saints were spiritually dead. Sadly however, because most New Testament believers have very limited knowledge in this area,

John 4:23-24 “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.  (24) God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”   It is only under the New Covenant that the saints can worship God as He desires to be worshipped, for in the above quoted passage of scripture our Lord Jesus teaches us that because God is Spirit that He desires those who worship

Acts 2:4 “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”         One of the most enlightening aspects that help us to more clearly understand the spirit of the born-again believer is the gift of speaking in other tongues. In the above quoted passage of scripture we see the gift of other tongues being given to the New Testament saints for the first time on the day of Pentecost. The reason this gift was n

Romans 2:14-15 “for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,  (15)  who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them.”   We have seen thus far that the born-again spirit has full and complete understanding of God’s word, because of which the spirit of the believer is ab

1 Corinthians 2:10-11 “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.  (11)  For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.”    Scripture reveals to us that the spirit of man has spiritual understanding. The understanding of man’s spirit however is not to be confused with the mind of man which forms part o

Genesis 1:11-12 “Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.  (12)  And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”   We all know that in the natural a seed contains everything that the s

1 Peter 1:23  “ having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.”   One of the main differences between the spirits of believers and the spirits of unbelievers is in the area of sin. It is impossible for the spirits of believers to commit sin, for as the apostle Peter teaches us in the above quoted passage of scripture, the spirit of the believer is born of the incorruptible seed of God’s word. Incorrup

Ephesians 5:8  “ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.”   We have seen thus far that the two conditions of human spirit is either spiritual life or spiritual death. There is a further aspect to the spiritual condition of men however, which is the aspect of spiritual light and spiritual darkness. In the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit introduces us to the concept of the spirits of men being either light or

Ephesians 2:4-5 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, (5) even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).”   There are two conditions of the human spirit. The one condition is spiritual life and the other condition is spiritual death, and the spirits of everyone is either one or the other. In the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul is sp
