SPIRIT SENSE 2
IF YOU MISSED THE FIRST PART OF THIS PIECE, PLEASE VISIT http://titans-arising.blogspot.com
IN the beginning of this piece, it was established that faith is needed to experience God’s promises in your life and SPIRIT SENSE is the key to walking in faith. I believe it is therefore important to talk about developing spirit sense. Every believer has the potential to operate in spirit sense because their spirits came alive at salvation. Unfortunately, not every believer fulfills that potential. This is because to operate in spirit sense there is a need to consciously develop the mind of your spirit to a point where it can subdue the mind of your flesh. With a developed mind in the spirit, you begin to reason like God. At this realm it is easy to understand his ways and believe his capacity. As a result experiencing God’s promises in your life becomes a natural occurrence.
Having said this much, it is important to state that the key to developing your potential to operate in spirit sense is maintaining a close relationship with God. Psychologists affirm that we are most likely to become like the people we relate to the most. This statement is true both for natural and spiritual relationships. Another true assertion is that all relationships (including man’s relationship with God) thrive with communion. Therefore to maintain a close relationship with God you need to stay in constant communion with him. The exchange that occurs in your communion with God helps your spirit to mature which in turn increases you ability to operate in spirit sense. For the purpose of this piece, I want to briefly describe three basic avenues of communion with God.
HIS WORD
The word of God is the medium through which he communicates with his children. Through his word, God reveals his personality, attributes, actions and intentions to the believer dedicated to its study. To help us benefit maximally from the word of God, Jesus told us that the word of God is spirit and life. Thus the believer relates to God’s word through his own spirit and with the help of the Holy Spirit. Only then can he experience the renewing power of God word in his spirit. As his spirit becomes renewed, his mind becomes transformed and he is now able to operate his spirit sense.
PRAYER
While God speaks to us through his word, we speak back to him in prayer. However, prayer is effective as a means of communing with God if we understand his word. Otherwise, it is like speaking my dialect (ile-ife) to a French man who has never being to Nigeria. One thing effective prayer does for a believer is make tremendous power available to the believer. This power transforms the believer by empowering his spirit. With an empowered spirit comes increased understanding of the person of God through his word. When this happens, his spirit sense becomes more active and he to not only experiences God’s promises in his life, he becomes a channel through which God’s kingdom in established on earth.
PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
I can’t talk about prayer without talking about praying in the Holy Spirit. Apostle Peter recommends praying in the Holy Spirit as a means of building up your most holy faith. Praying in the Holy Spirit is important because it helps to break through language barriers and bypass all protocol to speak directly to the Holy of Holies. You can be rest assured that at the close of that conversation, your spirit man would be much more powerful. As such, you would not find it difficult to operate with your spirit sense.
WORSHIP
Naturally, an understanding of the personality and attributes of God produces worship in the heart of any believer. This heartfelt worship is a sweet smelling aroma to God and he responds with his mighty presence. Whenever divinity meets humanity in a scenario like this, the seed of divinity resident in humanity takes a step closer to becoming a mighty tree. The mind of man becomes more in sync with the mind of God. When this happens in the life of any believer, it becomes very easy to experience the manifestation of God’s promises. This is because your mind now agrees with God and all doubt has been completely destroyed. In computer terms, SPIRIT SENSE MODE FULLY ACTIVATED.
In conclusion, the measure of God’s promises manifesting in your life is a function of the degree of spirit sense you are operating with. Take a step to improve the power of your spirit sense today and see your faith rise to the stratosphere. Remember, the world is waiting for you to manifest the promises of your father. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
