11. Living by the Spirit

When you've seen a glimpse of God, and realise He is not you, and you are not Him, your heart is now under a new modus operandi, the Spirit. The Spirit changes EVERYTHING. He reveals truth, righteousness & judgement. The words of Jesus come alive. No one else told you this.

There are many synonyms for this new way of living and they all emphasise differing aspects of the one thing, a new life.
1. born again
2. redeemed
3. child of God
4. adopted
5. swap kingdoms

The strongest description is the term "me in Christ", and conversely "Christ in me". This paradym is how Jesus spoke of being "one" with God, the Father was "in me" and " I am in the Father", "I am in you" and "you are in me" SO "you are in the Father and the "Father is in you". The term "in" denotes a unity as with two people becoming "one". The Apostle Paul uses the term in its various ways over 140 times. The term become critical in understanding what you are, what you have, what you do and it makes EVERY difference on the right attitude / thought or viewing your new situation.

Spirit Soul Flesh
Spirit - darkness OR light - knowing, believing, conviction, confession = Faith brings the change
Soul - being transformed by renewing the mind = bring every thought and understanding into line with the spirit who lives within
Body - a future resurrection- on a day all flesh to be raised (for the dead) or transformed if alive
