The Life of the Inner Man: Awakening to Your Spiritual Nature and God's Allocated Authority
The Life of the Inner Man · Part 1 of 5
Core Message
True spiritual life begins when your regenerated spirit awakens to intimate knowledge of God, because He only interacts with your spirit—not your soul or body—and this awakened inner man is where all genuine power, worship, and authority operate.
Key Scripture
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV)
3 Key Takeaways
- God only receives what originates from your spirit—prayer, worship, service, and prophecy done from the soul are spiritually void and cannot be received by Him.
- The devil has no self-generated power, only what was allocated to him by God, so a believer who steps into their assigned authority will control the devil rather than being controlled by him.
- True evidence of spiritual maturity is not speaking in tongues but walking in self-comfort, being led into all truth, and making consistently sound decisions from a spirit connected to God.
Prayer Focus
Ask God to awaken your regenerated spirit to deeper, intimate knowledge of Him so that your worship, prayer, and service flow from the spirit and not the soul, and that you step into the allocated authority He has given you over the enemy.
“Knowledge is the most important thing when it comes to your work with God. The devil is afraid of somebody that knows God and to know God is to know the inner man, to know the inner man is to work with God.”
