The Bible says, “And so it is written, The first man
Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was
made a quickening spirit…The first man is of the earth, earthy;
the second man is the Lord from heaven” (1 Corinthians
15:45, 47). This is so powerful! The Lord Jesus Christ is the
second and last Adam; He’s the Lord from heaven, and the
Bible describes Him as a quickening or life-giving Spirit. No
wonder, everything He touched received life. The next verse
says, “As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and
as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly” (1
Corinthians 15:48). We hail from Christ; this means we also
are life-giving spirits!
This was what the Lord Jesus was referring to in John
7:38, when He said, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture
hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” The
Greek terminology signifies gushers or torrents of living water.
Life is flowing out of you. How does it flow? The Scripture
shows that it flows, first from your mouth, and then from your
hands. Anyone who makes contact with you in faith or by
faith can literally pull it out of you.
When Adam sinned against God, the law of death was
set in operation. The Bible says through sin, death came into
the world as a consequence of Adam’s transgression. Life has
however come by the second and last Adam, Jesus Christ. He
said: “…I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it
in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10 AMP).
Now, not only do you have life to the full, you’ve become a
dispenser of life.
You’re A Life-giving Spirit There’s no more hopelessness where it concerns you.
You can bring life into anything, no matter how dead. The
Bible says in Romans 4:17, “…even God, who quickeneth the
dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they
were.” This shows what you can do, because you’re made
in His image and in His likeness. As He is, so are you in this
world (1 John 4:17).
CONFESSION
I live in the Spirit; I also walk in
the Spirit, because I’m born of the
Spirit. I’m heavenly; therefore, I
live by the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus. I’m also a
life-giving spirit, ministering the
divine life to my world.
Hallelujah!
