1 Corinthians 6: 17But he that is joined (continuous repeated action- to glue, cleave, join together with) unto the Lord ( Master, Owner, controller) is one (to indicate the singularity of something, thus emphasizing that there is but one only, one and the same, not at variance with, in accord with) spirit.
In the Greek it reads-but the one joining himself to the lord is one spirit.
The word joining in the Greek is kollao which comes from the root kolla which means glue or cement. It is in the passive voice which means to actively receive. It is in the present tense which expresses continuous or repeated action. The gender is masculine but is referring to the male and female sons of God.
The one joining himself to the lord-how do we join ourselves to the Lord? By yielding to Holy Spirit, by becoming aware of the presence of God which is divine holy love flowing into our heart and back out of our heart to God and others.
Our spirit has certain senses and one of these senses in our spirit is called prayer. The prayer gate in our spirit is constant two-way communication with the Lord.
Prayer is not just something we do; it is who we are. We are in constant communication with God, when we learn how to continually yield to Holy Spirit by joining our spirit to His.
1 john 1: 3That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship (participation in a common life) with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
We can fellowship with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ and relate to them and continually have a flow of communication with them through continually joining ourselves to the Lord in one spirit.
The word fellowship means participation in a common life, the word Lord means the one in control. When we learn how to be filled with the Spirit, the life of God flows out of heaven into our spirit, and we yield to the controlling influence of the moving of the Spirit of God in our life and then we become a gateway of heaven into the earth through prayer.
Prayer is two-way communication with the Lord, and as we learn how to get the prayer gateway in our spirit open and flowing then we will begin to see the manifestations of our prayers in the earth because our praying will be God inspired, the Holy Spirit praying through us because we are one spirit.
So, prayer- talking to God communicating with him having constant communication is not to an idol somewhere but to someone who is with us and in us.
So, Jesus said don’t make your prayer life about words or needs. Jesus teaches and demonstrates that we need to organize our lives to be continually consciously aware that we are living in his presence.
If we walk in an awareness of God all the time, then prayer is not something we do. Prayer is a relationship of intimacy and continual communication.
But often were turning to something that we pray to God to be, which is not the reality of who he is. So, get your mind off your needs and get it onto your father, who is close to you as the air that you’re breathing that’s the reality of prayer.
So, the name of the God is Yod-Hei-Vav-Hei; God said my name is breath. The name of God is like breathing and sounds like breathing. When you breathe you can actually breathe Yod-Hei-Vav-Hei; and that’s how God intended it to be. We are conscious even as we breathe bringing that oxygen into our body but it’s God who is the source of life, who sustains our life.
Until we see God as our Father, we see him as some being totally separate from ourselves. We are one spirit with him, He generated us with His very own life which should be growing and developing in us.
