Good Afternoon Citizens Of Divinity, Here is your lunch!!!.
BE STRENGTHEN IN YOUR INNER MAN.
"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Z's of our lord Jesus Christ,of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,that he would grant you,according to the riches of his glory,to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man" (Ephesians 3:14-16).
Man is a spirit and he dwells in a body,he has a soul and a mind.That spirit or inner man is the real you.As the body or outward man(ie our physical body) can be weak,so can the inner man be weak if not properly nurtured spiritually.Your inner man must be strengthened with might-miracle-working ability-at all times for you to be able to deal effectively with the crises of life.
Food is to the physical body,while the word of God, prayer,and meditation are to your inner man.
Your inner man(real you) is strengthened as you spend time studying and meditating on the word,and praying in the spirit (tongues),in other tongues.You may ask but I don't know how to speak in tongues,yes its a gift from God and its expedient you know this Jesus says "in my name they will speak in new tongues" (Mark 16:17) you don't pray to speak in tongues its in you already as long as you have the holy ghost in you, the bible says "He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, Now I want you all to speak in tongues". (1Corinthians 14:4-5), and another scripture I want to show you why you praying in tongues & why it is in you is (Jude.1:20) it says "But you beloved,build yourselves up on your most holy faith,praying in the holy ghost". Jesus says open your mouth and I'll fill it,so go ahead and speak it,it may sound somehow go ahead that is it,the Bible says "howbeit in the spirit you are speaking mysteries" and you won't understand what you are saying only the spirit knows your heart desires and praying about it for you.You also develop the right character and are able to do the things of God more effectively.
Christians who vacilate,not being able to do the things they should do,or strong enough to refuse those things they shouldn't do,demonstrate an inner weakness. When the inward man is energized, he'll make the body do what its supposed to do,and refrain the body from doing what it shouldn't do.You need that divine inner fortitude and strengthening in your spirit to forge ahead In life.
You may say," I like to pray,but sometimes I just can't get myself together to do it";or "I want to win souls,but somehow I feel too shy and intimidated to speak."Such things happens when your spirit is not energized. When your inner man is strengthened, you become fervent in the things of God all the time.
You'll love to pray and praise God;studying the word will become an exhilarating,exciting experience for you! It won't be hard for you to talk to somebody about Jesus;because you're energized for the Gospel from within; you're on top everyday, bubbling for the Lord!
