“The exercise of our spirit is for godliness, which is the manifestation of God in the flesh. God is Christ, who is in our spirit, so we need to deal with our spirit. Our spirit must be a spirit of a subdued and submissive will, of a properly exercised emotion, and of a clear, sound, and sober mind. This exercise also requires a good, pure, and single heart, one that seeks only the Lord Himself, and it requires love and faith. All these matters are the preparation for our exercise of the spirit.”

As Christians, we have been saved and regenerated by God to be members of the Body of Christ and to come together to practice the Body life. This is God’s main and central will for us. The Body life is a basic and foundational matter in the Scriptures, and without it, it is impossible for us to be victorious, spiritual, or holy; to grow in life; or to be built up with other believers as a living expression of Christ. Central to our experience of the Body life is the exercise of our human spirit. God created a spirit within us specifically so that we could contact Him. Once we learn how to exercise our spirit to contact Him, everything that God is and has will become our daily experience. Through such a daily experience, God will be able to fulfill His purpose.

The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

In the New Testament age, God is doing a specific work in His Son and through the Holy Spirit. He is entering into people that they may be filled with the element of God, and He is bringing these people, who are filled with His element, into Himself. This is the mingling of God with man; this is the building of God. The believers who have been mingled with God are built up together in Him. “The builded church is not composed of only human beings. Rather, the building of the church is accomplished by building God into man. When God is in all of us, and we are in God, we are one Body. This is the way that we are built together.” This building depends on the New Testament priests. These priests are not a special class of believers but rather the believers who are in spirit and can be built together in God. In order for the church to be built up, it is necessary for every believer to enter into the Holy of Holies and carry out their priestly service, that is, to pray in their spirit. Only by praying in our spirit can we become living stones that are being built together (1 Pet. 2:5). The present need is for the believers to be built together in spirit to become a living, spiritual temple as the Body of Christ for Him to obtain rest, to be expressed, and to be glorified.

The revelation of the Spirit in the Bible points to God's desire to be received, experienced, and enjoyed by man. The revelation of the human spirit in the Bible points to the unique means whereby man can know and experience God. God is Spirit so that man can contact and receive Him, and man has a human spirit in order to contact and contain God. Through faith in Christ, our human spirit is born of the Holy Spirit, we are joined to the Lord as one spirit, and the Spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are the children of God.
