The Bible tells us that God has breathed into man twice. The first God breath occurred when God formed the created and breathed into him the breath of life – the “spirit of man.”

Genesis 2:7 … Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Aramaic, chay= lives); and man became a living soul.

Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

The “human spirit” or “spirit of man” is sourced in God (Zechariah 12:1. The human spirit is the source of life in man. 2 Corinthians 3:6b (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

The human spirit and thereby the human life in every human born into this world is “spirit-life on loan.” We know that if the body is without the spirit, that man is dead. James 2:26a (KJV) For as the body without the spirit is dead…

Beyond human life that is of the human spirit in man, the believer also possesses the Spirit that is of the resurrected Christ. Christ imparted His breath as the resurrected “Spirit of Life” (eternal) to the early Jewish believers who make up the “little flock” (Luke 12:32).

John 20:22 And when he (Jesus) had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus).

Paul tells the Colossian members of the body of Christ; Christ is indwells the believer as their very life.

Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear…

The God-breathed human spirit is what quickens, gives life to, and animates the human in his entire being of spirit, soul and body (1Thes 5:23). The life a man has by his human spirit gives him temporal life and the opportunity, during his short time on earth, to gain the resurrected “spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus” – thereby then making that man eternal. Man then goes from a temporal spirit being to an eternal spirit being.

By the impartation of Christ resurrected “Spirit of life,” believers are fully equipped – they possess Christ’s Spirit in their human spirit as tea is in water. They have become one spirit.

1 Cor. 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

John 3:6 born of the flesh is flesh (natural); and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

1 Cor. 2:14 But the natural man (soulish Christian) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of

God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know (Gk. ginosko, means “to come to know by experience”) them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Romans 8:9-11 ye (the real you) are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

It is only by possessing “the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus,” in and one with our human spirit, that we have a 6^th Sense or inner knowing. Thereby, we have gained the knowledge, insight, guidance and intuitive knowledge that is of Christ and according to the Father’s loving care for us.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see (eido, perceive) the kingdom (realm) of God.
