Understanding Your Spirit ManSample

AWAKENING YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSES

Every believer is designed to live primarily through the spirit. Unfortunately, many Christians live predominantly by their physical senses, neglecting the spirit man. To walk in God’s power and purpose, you must learn to live from your spirit rather than your senses. Your spirit, empowered by the Holy Spirit, is your guide into God's will. You hear people say, ‘use your brain’, as a Christian, you should use your spirit.

Hebrews 5:14 says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” God expects your spiritual senses to be developed and sharpened through consistent practice and use. The more you live from your spirit, the more clearly you will perceive His guidance.

Living by your spirit also means discerning between good and evil beyond mere outward appearances. Your spirit has an inner witness that guides and protects you from deception. When you listen carefully to your spirit’s promptings, you avoid mistakes and make decisions that align with God’s purpose for your life.

Make it your daily discipline to invest in spiritual growth—study the Word consistently, spend quality time in prayer, and obey the leading of the Holy Spirit. This spiritual discipline strengthens your inner man, empowers you for effective ministry, and positions you to fulfil your destiny.

THOUGHT TO PONDER: Are you living primarily by your physical senses or your spirit? How can you become more sensitive to your spirit’s inner witness?

PRAYER: Father, teach me to live consistently by my spirit rather than my physical senses. Increase my spiritual sensitivity so that I can follow Your guidance faithfully. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
