Testimonies from the Spring University Conference in Wales 2016

Zechariah 12:1 – “Thus declares Jehovah, who stretches forth the heavens and lays the foundations of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him.” Man is the center of the entire universe, and the center of man is his spirit. God is mingled with our spirit, and by opening and releasing our spirit, we can express and manifest God! I enjoyed the right way for a Christian to take: we exercise the spirit, contact God, receive the Lord, and express Him! – SF

We are created to be living vessels to contain God to be His expression, so that God can be manifested in us. He has accomplished everything and all we need to do is to turn to our spirit. We need to care for His manifestation in us and exercise ourselves unto godliness! We also need to learn to deny the soul and the self and to discern the spirit from the soul by taking up the cross and by receiving the living and operative word of God! – JP

My enjoyment came from the main theme: The Exercise of Our Spirit unto Godliness. Ephesians 5 shows that we release the spirit by rejoicing, praying, thanking and praising the Lord! We also have to fan our spirit into flame by opening our heart, our spirit and mouth, the three layers of our being, calling “O Lord Jesus!” The Wales Conference was such a wonderful opportunity and experience for me in many ways both spiritually and for networking with brothers and sisters across the world in the ministry. Amen! – MA

I enjoyed this revelation from 1 Timothy 3:16 – “Great is the mystery of godliness: He who was manifested in the flesh.” God wants to be manifested in us and for this we need to exercise ourselves unto godliness (1 Timothy 4:7). Following the conference I could echo the praise of Mary in Luke 1:46-47 – “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has exulted in God my Saviour!!” – TK

There is a goal when we exercise our spirit! We exercise our spirit not to forget about our situations or be in a good mood or be spiritual. The exercise of the spirit is for God’s manifestation. May God Himself be manifested in us by the exercise of our spirit, so that many of our friends and co-workers may see Christ living in us! – SK

Are we always confused with “Am I using my spirit or my soul?” Come to the Word! Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Just exercise your spirit and touch the Word of God, it will operates in you! – SS

I enjoyed to see the importance of two words when it comes to exercising of our spirit. The first word is revelation of the mystery of godliness, or god-likeness. This is God’s desire to be manifested in the flesh; just as He was first manifested in the Son now He wants to be manifested in His many brothers, His duplication. The second word is motivation. Once we see the revelation it will help us to force ourselves towards achieving the desired effect. – FS

The inward parts of our being – mind, emotion and will – are related to exercising our spirit. We must deal with our conscience, the key to having a good exercise of a proper spirit. God desires to be manifested in the flesh, and we must take the lead by exercising our will to exercise our spirit. And last but not least, it is our responsibility to exercise our spirit, and a responsibility becomes an opportunity for the spirit to be released! – NG

The matter of our spirit was very fresh to me, and the necessity to exercise our spirit, and even to “force” ourselves to exercise, regularly and consistently. And it has a goal – unto godliness – that is the manifestation of God! God expressed! Our human spirit is so important – there is no way we can fulfill God’s purpose without the exercise of our spirit! – SL

“Exercise yourself unto godliness” (1 Timothy 4:7b). That is, learn to exercise your spirit to manifest God in your living! – JW
