The Hidden Man of the Heart (3)
Dr RJ Sing
“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;”
Paul’s prayer was that the Ephesian Church would be strengthened with Might, by the Spirit of God, in the inner man. Therefore, we again catch a glimpse, of the importance and emphasis of the inner man. Now let us examine a portion of scripture found in the first Book of Corinthians.
“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
You have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit of God. You are now a Spiritual Being and you easily receive the things of the Spirit of God.
