Unity in The Spirit Live Worship In the Wait

Hey, so today’s session is all about strengthening our spirit man. I’ve felt really encouraged this week. I had a great time at a conference, hosted by Noel Robinson and friends, along with another friend, Valerie Elliot, who gave a brilliant talk on the unity between body, soul, and spirit.

She explained how our spirit should always be the one leading, but so often it's our body or soul—our mind, will, and emotions—that takes the lead, and our spirit gets pushed aside. If you’ve never thought about this before, I encourage you to look into it. It’s honestly so fascinating.

As someone filled with the Spirit—and with my husband too—we know how important it is to build up our spirit, because that’s the eternal part of us. Our bodies will fade, die, and return to the ground. I’m not entirely sure what will happen at the end of the world, but I do know that our spirit man will last forever.

I’ve found that spending time in God’s presence, especially when praying in the heavenly language, really strengthens my spirit. Paul talks a lot about this in Scripture—the gift of speaking in tongues and how it builds us up.

The word “wait” in the Bible also means to be bound to the Lord—not in a bad way, but in a beautiful, entwined way with God’s Spirit. When we wait on Him, our spirit becomes one with His, and we’re strengthened through that connection.

So today, my prayer—and our prayer for you—is that your spirit will be strengthened as you wait on the Lord, as you dwell in His presence, and as you ask the Holy Spirit to fill and unite more deeply with your spirit. May your spirit man come to the front and take the lead—not your soul or your body.

Sometimes our soul—our mind, will, and emotions—can be in turmoil, even battling each other. And being led by emotions isn’t always wise, especially if you’re someone who feels things deeply.

But when we build up our spirit, we’re more likely to be led by the Spirit of God. Life feels more peaceful and aligned when I’m led by the Spirit. So that’s my prayer for us today—that we’ll be Spirit-led people, and that this time will help build up your spirit in Him.
