BUILDING THE INNER
MAN -
Text : Jude 20
The scriptures speak
of “building yourself up on your most holy faith”
·
Your faith grows with your effort – build
yourself
·
The inward man is a faith being
·
A faith being is a belief being
·
It grows and operates with what you believe.
·
It will generate faith and becomes stronger with
the Word of God which you believed.
·
You can build up and strengthen your spirit by
building the Word in your heart.
·
For faith cometh by the hearing and hearing of
the Word of God - Rom. 10:17
A. The Spirit of man grows on the Word of God
1. Faith becomes reality.
* Faith must be sown in the heart
* A seed of jealousy can grow within Cain’s heart and
committed murder.
* A seed of faith can grow into mountains to outsize the
mountains of sickness and problems and move into the sea.
* Heb. 11:1 speaks of faith as the heavenly substance in the
realm of God
2. Three Ways of Nurturing the Inner Man
a. Turning logos into rhema
b. Practicing spiritual principles
c. Faith confessions.
B. The Inner Man Feeds on the ‘Rhema” Word
1. Differentiating
logos from rhema
2. Your spirit man
feeds on Rhema
3. Rhema penetrates
the heart
4. Rhema never fails
to accomplish the purpose of God
5. Rhema stays in
your life – 1 Peter 1:25
6. Rhema cleanses
one’s life – Eph. 5:26
7. Rhema is the key
to answered prayer – John 15:7
8. You get Rhema by
believing in logos – John 5:47
