God is good! Always has been, always will be. Amen. Hello blessed friends in Christ. I pray God’s goodness fills you to overflow all of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thank You Father God, for in Christ we lack absolutely nothing. Completely content in the Holy Spirit as we sit at a table prepared by our Lord Jesus Christ, drinking and eating of Him, our Spiritual sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inward man (Inner Man – You) is growing stronger by the day, shining and bursting with the brilliance of Lord Jesus. The outward man crucified, long dead and washed away from our memory, by the blood of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inward man lives in the divine presence of the Godhead, in a Holy temple, lovingly formed by his Father’s hands. God’s Spirit filling the temple in all His power and glory. He sits with Son and His best friend – Jesus, in the presence of Father God. They love each other more than anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jesus continues to nurture, comfort and counsel the inner man. He is becoming just like Jesus. Together their countenance shines throughout all the temple. Father God is well pleased with the inner man, and loves him as He always has done, from the beginning of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father God has set aside great plans for the inner man. He will carry him in His right arm through strong waters and protect him from evil. He will never leave or forsake him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father God holds a great inheritance for him, in His Kingdom, where His beautiful Son Jesus reigns as King for ever and ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Inner man, will be with his best friend, for ever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 5:6<\/strong> <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 6:53-58 <\/strong> Then Jesus said to them, \u201cMost assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven\u2014not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Corinthians 6:19 <\/strong> <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Corinthians 3:18 <\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Corinthians 4:16 <\/strong> <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Corinthians 5:17 <\/strong> <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 7:22 <\/strong> <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 51:6 <\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 20:27 <\/strong> <\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the inner depths of his heart.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colossians 3:9-10 <\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ephesians 3:14-19 <\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height\u2014 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 23:1-6 <\/strong><\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;<\/mark><\/em>
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name\u2019s sake.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 139:1-18<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If  I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, \u201cSurely the darkness shall fall on me,\u201d
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother\u2019s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezekiel 36:25-27 <\/strong><\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. <\/sup>I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God Bless your inner man to receive the fullness in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With love from your brother in Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
