Cooperate with the Lord by Exercising our Spirit by Faith

Philippians 1:19 says, This will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

By being one spirit with the Lord, we can experience Him as the all-inclusive One. For anyone who is one spirit with the Lord, there is a supply of Jesus, there is a supply of Christ as everything which is in our mingled spirit.

Philippians 1:19 mentions the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. This bountiful supply is in our mingled spirit. When we are in our mingled spirit, we can live the life of a God-man, a life that is God yet man and man yet God.

The Christian life is not about trying to do good or being, being good or even improving our outward behavior. But it is a life of a God-man. A life of living and abiding in the Lord. Oh, Lord Jesus!

We just need to abide in Him because He is the source of this inexhaustible supply.

In the training, I have learned that I can cooperate with the Lord by exercising my mingled spirit by faith.

When I feel like I can’t exercise my spirit, that is actually when I need to the most.

All it requires is just the tiniest opening. Just calling, Oh Lord Jesus. And the Spirit with His bountiful supply is right there to fill me, I instantly tap into this inexhaustible supply.

Oh, the situation remains, and outwardly nothing really changes, but there is an unexplainable joy that floods in. I have learned that God never makes a demand without providing a supply.

We have such an inexhaustible one in us, so sufficient and ready to supply. We just need to open and receive Him. To live in the Spirit is to let Christ fill and saturate us until he permeates our whole being and is expressed through us.
