The following is an excerpt from - The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee

'Do we not realize that the flesh craves priority even with respect to keeping the Holy Scriptures? The spirit has intuition; but it also has power. It is consequently null and void if we understand any doctrine in our mind while at the same time it remains unexecuted by the power of the spirit.

'Although the Word does emphasize the believer’s personal spirit, the Word also informs us that the significance of one’s spirit is due to the indwelling Holy Spirit. The reason why we must walk and live in the spirit at all is because our spirit, being the habitation of God’s Spirit, is where He expresses His mind.'

The power of God, the power of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, truly we can't ignore that there is power involved.  The spirit has power. We truly may comprehend every single word written in God's word and yet it may have no effect on us or our lives. We can memorize word after word, scripture after scripture, verse after verse knowing them backwards and forwards and still not be touched by the power of the Spirit of the word of God.

Eph 6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

The SWORD of the Spirit. The power of the Spirit.  The word of God.

If we don't have the sword of the Spirit we don't have the word of God- not the word of God as it is intended we have the word in our life - alive with the power of the Spirit.

There is power truly in the Word of God and the power of the Spirit will work in us by the grace of God.  We need the power of the Spirit working in us with our spirit. We need our spirit intuition working only through the Holy Spirit, and not by any other power. Please, Lord, please let Your Spirit live in us.
