We have seen clearly that the Body of Christ is absolutely in the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit is absolutely in our spirit. Therefore, the Body of Christ is altogether a matter in our spirit. The book of Ephesians confirms this.
Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him,
Ephesians 1 tells us that we can see the church only in our spirit.
Ephesians 2:22 In whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in spirit.
Ephesians 2 tells us that the building of the church, the Body, both universally and locally, is in our spirit.
Ephesians 3:16 That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man,
Then chapter 3 tells us that we need to be strengthened into our inner man, the regenerated human spirit.
Ephesians 4:23 And that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind
Chapter 4 tells us that we are being renewed in the spirit of our mind.
Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in spirit,
Chapter 5 tells us that we need to be filled in our human spirit unto all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 6:18 By means of all prayer and petition, praying at every time in spirit and watching unto this in all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints,
Finally, chapter 6 tells us that we need to pray as the church, as the Body, in spirit. From all these verses we can see that the Body is altogether a matter in our spirit.
