THE VISIBILITY OF GOD'S SPIRIT

THE VISIBILITY OF GOD’S SPIRIT

The believer in Christ is an embodiment of God’s Spirit. When a man believes the sacrifice of Jesus, he becomes one with God’s spirit.
1 Corinthians 6: 17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
Man is united with God in Christ. When the Bible says he that is joined to the Lord is One Spirit, the Greek word for Join is kollaō. It means  to glue together, cement, fasten together. He that is cemented to Lord, fasten to the Lord is One with Him. One there actually means one. This means that when you are in Christ, You become inseparable from God. You live in Him, He lives in You by His Spirit. SPIRITS ARE INVISIBLE. You can not see The Holy Ghost that is the Holy Spirit. But we can see the carrier, the CONTAINER  of the Spirit. When you got saved, You became the carrier of the invisible Spirit of God.
YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST
1 Corinthians 6
19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s
Your body is the temple of God’s Spirit. When you got saved, you became the “naos” the shrine of God.  When people are looking for God on earth, they see Him in You. You are now the house address of God. The absence of the doings of  God on earth is a  result of the man in Christ not showing up. When Christians gather in a Church, they bring God. The presence of God is in the Church because they brought Him. So, God does not dwell in temple made with human hands. The man in Christ is the habitation of God through God’s Spirit. 
HOW CAN THE INVISIBLE SPIRIT OF GOD BE MADE VISIBLE?
As  we established earlier that spirit is invisible. The man in Christ has been licensed to make the spirit visible.
1 Corinthians 12
7  But the manifesation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man. Every man here is not talking of all humans but to every man in Christ as revealed in the context. Verse 3 of the same chapter stated that no man can call Jesus Lord except by the Spirit, which means only believers have the Spirit. The manifestation of the Spirit has been given to every man in Christ to profit withal that is for common good. It is not talking of physical profit. The Greek word used for manifestation here is phanerōsis. It means exhibition, that is, (figuratively) expression, (by extension) a bestowment: – manifestation. The believer can exhibit the Spirit . The expression of the invisible Spirit has been given to every man in Christ. The word phanerōsis is derived from another Greek word phanerō which means to make visible, To unveil.   The man in Christ can make the  Spirit Known.
When people ask God’s Spirit to come down, they are definitely expecting the believer to do the things of the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12
7  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Notice from the above  scriptures, the word manifestation is singular. It is this manifestation that is described from verse 8 with different abilities what is popularly known as the gifts of the Spirit.  “To another “ used to describe the abilities refers to another ability not another person. Every believer has these gifts. They are the ways the man in Christ makes the Spirit visible . Notice the emphasis of the same spirit having these abilities. So when a man wants to makes the Spirit known, He speaks in tongues, interprets the tongues, work miracles, or manifest any of the abilities described above. Verse 11  is not saying that each person has one gift. It is saying that the abilities have been given to everyman in Christ individually as God wills. The will of God is the Spirit given. It is not God that wills the expressions. It is man.
DO YOU WANT SEE THE SPIRIT VISIBLE?
Then do the things of the Spirit always. Be given to praying in tongues, healing the sick, prophesying and working miracles. The Spirit can only be visible to the degree the carrier of the Spirit makes Him known. Many have died, many are suffering because they refuse to acknowledge the abilities of the Spirit in them or in a fellow believer. When you are sick, lay hand on yourself to be healed by God’s ability or look for a fellow believer to lay hands on you.  You must learn the things of the Spirit and have mastery over them.

YOU ARE FOREVER LICENSED TO SHOW THE SPIRIT.
