The inner man never goes
along with folly, pretense, indiscretion, prejudice or sin.
The inner man always holds
fast to its divine intent. You can trust
the inner man.
If you want to grow and
mature in mind and body, spirit and soul, you will have to learn new ways of
life and unlearn some old ways.
Ouch! For those of us who don't care much for change,
our flesh is going to rebel at
this kind of teaching.
'Let your conscience be
your guide' is but a line in a fairy
tale. You can override your
conscience. But, 'let your inner man be your
guide' and you will see profound
and positive results in every area of your life.
There's one more issue I want to
deal with before we press in and open our hearts and in-fill our mind and heart
with God's Word.
You have got to change the
way you think. It is not just what you think that can derail you, but the way you think.
Because of past teaching,
many people have come to believe that they are on a journey to find God in this
life, in hopes of getting to God on the other side, in that life.
These precepts are false.
First of all, God is not,
nor has God been lost that He would need to be found.
Secondly, there is no
finding God or knowing God apart from God drawing you near to Him and calling you. Religion has created a species of arrogant folk that are only satisfied if they can acknowledge the existence of God, but respond to/with God with their own private selection of rules.
John 6:44
44. No
man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will
raise him up at the last day.
John 14:6
6.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me."
