Strengthened In Our Inner Man
-
Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height; 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The apostle Paul had a way of praying for the saints of God. When you see Paul ’s prayers for the saints there is an unveiling of the will of God by hearing the anointed Spirit lead prayers of Paul . Paul here is praying for each believer to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. The inner man is the newly created being God made you. If any man be in Christ he is a new creation; the old is gone and the new has come.
-
We are a triune being; we are made of spirit, soul, and body. The inner man is where you have been connected to God spirit to Spirit! What we need is a touch from God; a touch from the riches of His glory in our inner being. We need strengthened with His might in our inner being or our new man. When we have been touched to such a degree we are established in the love of God. God’s power will be at work in us above all that we ask or think. It is the Father’s will that you are rooted and grounded in love! A touch from God’s glory brings a greater revelation of His love!
-
May the saints know the love of Christ which passes knowledge! To comprehend the width and length and depth and height of the love of God is not an intellectual experience. It is the touch of God through His Spirit that fills you with all the fullness of God! When walking in the comprehension of the love of God fear is gone, the power of God is able to flow through us.
-
To God be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Many believers have struggled with burdens so heavy to carry. God never intended for you to bear that burden! We, the saints of God, need a greater revelation of God’s love.
-
1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
-
The greater revelation of His love the greater we can love one another. The source of our love must always be from Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. The foundation of love is God and the way He shed His love abroad in our hearts is the source of our confidence.
-
1 John 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
-
Your burden bearing should not involve fear and torment. God has called us to know and believe the love that God has for us! When we are strengthened in our inner man fear is cast out and we walk in confidence with the love of God.
-
If the fear is tormenting and the burden is to heavy it is time to receive the Word of deliverance. Take the thoughts and ideas that torment you and bring them into the obedience of Jesus Christ. Many believers want to cast out the devil but will not allow the Spirit of God to change their mind. God wants to change our mind set. Jesus said come! Your deliverance is not in a prayer line; your deliverance is in receiving the Word of God.
-
Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
-
Many have passed over Jesus' words. Jesus said learn from me. If you come to Jesus Christ and refuse to learn from Him, in essence you have not truly come to Him. It is the goodness of God that leads to repentance; the apostle Paul started with a rebuke before he gave them the truth of God’s goodness leads to repentance. Because they heard and responded to the rebuke they found a clearing and justification.
-
Oh that the church will be strengthened in might through His Spirit in the inner man. The love of God does not allow the believer to walk with an angry spirit, a spirit of complaint, or a spirit of criticism. We have not walked in the rest of God or in the revelation of His love because we have allowed the small foxes to spoil the vine.
-
Philippians 2:14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
-
God is calling His children to come to walk in His love and His rest. We must hold fast to the truth and do all things without complaining and disputing. The enemy wants to bring the church to complaining and disputing! It is time to be aware of satan’s devices. Walk in the strength of the love of God by being strengthened in your inner man! Put off the old man put on the new man who is created in true righteousness and holiness. Hold fast the word of life!
-
Ephesians 4:22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another. 26 "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 nor give place to the devil.
-
The width and length and depth and height of the love of God is so great; your provision is found in the love of Jesus Christ.
-
Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
