The Inner Man

Do you struggle with remaining faithful to God? If we’re honest, we all have good and bad days. But for some it can be a struggle to even like themselves. For others they see themselves as a failure.  Still others have been deeply hurt and can’t find the strength to move on. This may be true if you had to go through this life alone. But you don’t.  These are all lies taught by the devil and his henchmen to keep you trapped from becoming what God wants you to be. Many believe in the strength of the physical body, but they fail to see the strength of the inner man.

One of the greatest gifts given to all believers by God is the indwelling of his Holy Spirit in our inner man. In Ephesians 3:16 the Apostle Paul is on his knees praying just such a prayer. He asks the Father to reveal to all believers the ability to comprehend the power living within their inner man, namely the Holy Spirit. So they can grasp how vast Christ loves them.

According to 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, it is the Spirit that searches the deep things of God. Revealing to all believers the things which our human eyes have not seen and our ears have not heard and our mind cannot even imagine. Can you begin to see how big that makes our God? Bigger than we can dream.

You are loved so much by Christ that your human knowledge cannot fathom the love of Christ. It makes no earthly sense. Try as you may, you will never be able to measure the fulness of Christ love for you with your human mind. But there is a way. You can drop to your knees right now and read and pray. Put away your earthly knowledge of God and ask His Spirit to reveal it to you and he will. Ask and you shall receive. Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you.  I pray you will.
