" Christian experience--a way to be one with the Father, to live Christ's life, to be not just a container of the Spirit but an embodiment and expression of the Spirit, to live by and with and in the Spirit, to live and move and have our being in God."

My Interpretation,

We are called to not only study the words of scripture but to ingest them.
They are to become our heart and our soul and to nourish our spiritual
relationship with Christ. Jesus said, I am the bread of life which confused
the pharisees and even further, enraged them. Jesus read scriptures but
instead of publicly repeating them verbatim, He took the words as food
for the Spirit. Upon digesting them, He lived their meaning and and filled
Himself in the Spirit. Then He went out and preached and healed and
spoke in parables so that the illiterate and less educated could have
stories to remember. In short, I believe that if we are to preach to others,
we need to have been filled with the Spirit and lived in the Spirit. If we
preach without that background, we come out as being hollow and
if I may say, hypocritical.
