Chapter 6: The Living Spirit

The Spirit of God is everlasting a
It is called the Supreme Creator 

The gateway of the Mystic Creator b 
Is called the source of Heaven and Earth 

This power flows continuously c
Though it may seem hidden within us,
If we utilize it, it will not grow tired or weary a

a Isaiah 40:28-31; Genesis 1:2; Ephesians 3:7; Ephesians 3:14-21; b Colossians 1:15-16; c John 14:20; 1 Corinthians 6:19.


The Living Spirit exists as a timeless, active force—not just initiating creation but continuously sustaining and empowering it. This deep dive into Chapter Six of the Built for Greatness, Built for God movement handbook explores how this divine presence isn't distant or abstract but intimately accessible within each of us.

At the core of this spiritual journey is the comprehensive MAP framework—Mindset, Aim, and Practice—offering structured guidance for experiencing personal renewal through connection with the Living Spirit. We unpack biblical foundations like John 14:20 and 1 Corinthians 6:19 that emphasize Christ dwelling within believers and our bodies being temples of the Holy Spirit, challenging listeners to reconsider how they view themselves and approach life's challenges.

The mindsets presented include dependence on God's eternal wisdom, openness to divine mystery, continuously seeking renewal, recognizing God's inner presence, balancing action with rest, and approaching others with humility. Each concept comes with practical applications for daily living—from scheduling time for both purposeful work and meaningful rest to making prayer for guidance a regular part of decision-making.

Perhaps most fascinating is how this episode bridges spiritual traditions, identifying parallels across Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism regarding the infinite source of creation, divine wisdom, spiritual renewal, inner presence, and life balance. This interfaith perspective fosters respect while affirming common spiritual touchpoints that facilitate meaningful dialogue.

Think about how this continuously flowing, seemingly hidden yet incredibly powerful spiritual force might manifest in your own life. How might engaging with this concept not only deepen your personal spiritual experience but also develop greater empathy for diverse perspectives around you? Join us on this journey toward personal renewal and meaningful spiritual connection.
