THE INNER MAN - Jeremiah Ch 43-45

 

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?” - 1 Corinthians 6:19 NASB1995

“But there is a spirit in man: And the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” -Job 32:8 KJV

GOOD MORNING. The person we see next to us is the house of a spirit. The real person is a spirit and we cannot see him with our physical eyes. The spirit in man will give him inspiration and the fruit of the inspiration makes us to recognise the unseen spirit. Two days ago, we spoke about the works of the flesh or the evil spirits which will keep one out of the kingdom of God's benefits.

Today we’ll see the fruit of the Holy Spirit if He dwells in you. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”   Galatians 5:22-23 NIV. Have you experienced any of these emotions before? To so many people, they are strangers to these emotions. You are not alone, even the disciples of Jesus were strangers to them until the Holy Spirit started living inside them. This is the fruit that keeps a person joyful and at peace even in the face of trials. It is described as the peace of God that passes all understanding. You are the first partaker of the fruit of the Spirit in you before it flows out to others. When you speak, your speech will minister peace, love, joy and life to others and they will call you a child of God without you announcing it to them. 

PRAY. Dear Lord, let Your Spirit take root in my heart to the point of bearing fruit.
