Praise the Lord...
Glory be to God's most holy name!
Beloved ones!
I am very glad to meet you at this wonderful time. The word our Lord God wants to speak to us today is about "The Inner man".
Today man is ignorant of himself. That is, he is ignorant of his inner man. See, suppose someone dies suddenly, but his body is still there. Then we know that the other man in him has gone out. We call him the inner man. This body is only worth as long as that inner man is inside. Do you know what they call the outer man (body) when that inner man leaves? They are called corpse, dead body. They say he died. They say, "Oh, lift it up quickly or else it will start to smell” (John 11:39).
Look, as long as the inner man is in us, everything is the bottom line. Once that man is gone, that man's era is over. Who made this inner man? Who created the outer man? It is important that we know that.
Our Lord Jesus Christ created the sky, the earth, the sea, the sun, the moon, the stars, and then all the trees, plants, vines, birds, creeping animals, and all the animals in the world and finally he created man (Genesis 1.3-27).
Just as our Lord Jesus Christ created man, He made man from the dust of the earth. As soon as he is made, he is like a doll. He was lifeless and then our Lord Jesus Christ breathed His breath of life (spirit) into his nostrils. The Bible says that man is a living soul (Genesis 2:7). That doll made of dust outside is called the outer body (outer man) (2 Corinthians 4:16). The name is inner man, who is the soul that is born from the breath of life breathed by the Lord. In this way, it seems that there are three states in man, i.e. spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
As soon as a man dies, we bury his body. His spirit returns to God (Ecclesiastes 12:7). It is his soul that when man is in this world, he receives the punishment for all the sins he has committed in the body, or the greater blessing from God if he had not sinned (2 Corinthians 5:10).
When God created man, He created him in His own image. He created him in God's image (Genesis 1:27). Because he did so that he might finish his life in this world and then live with him for ages (1 Thessalonians 4:17). But man, when he was in the Garden of Eden, tempted by Satan and sinned (Genesis 3:1-6), he was cast out of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24). From that time the connection between man and God was disconnected. Then God came to this world in the name of Jesus, incarnate as a man to save that man (Matthew 1:21). When the Lord Jesus Christ came into the world, He said, The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10).
God's love for man is greater (1 John 4:8,9). Think how much he has loved man and came into this world to seek man (Hebrews 2:4,5). For him, He sacrificed himself on the cross of Calvary for his sins. He bled, died and was buried. He rose alive on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3,4). He is alive today. Our Lord Jesus Christ says, "I was dead, but behold, I am alive forever and ever" (Revelation 1:18). Now let's get down to business.
Let us look at the inner man (soul). The word of the Lord says that it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge (Proverbs 19:2). And the scriptures say that understanding of the Lord is knowledge (Proverbs 9:10). That is, the scriptures of the Lord say that every man should know about the Lord who created this soul (inner man).
Today every man is trying to know something and everything. But he is seen as unwilling to know about the Lord who created him. But it is not good. Look, today all the purposes of man are money, gold, goods, lands, houses, wealth, assets, and in the world too. Therefore, said our Lord Jesus Christ. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Thus said the Lord (Mark 8:36). The man who lives in this world is indifferent and unconcerned about the soul within him. Our Saviour Jesus Christ says this.
There was a rich man. He had many lands. That year the field yielded plenty of grain. There was already plenty of grain left over from the previous year. They were full of storehouses. So the rich man spoke to his soul. For you, my soul, I have plenty of grain laid up for you many years. He told his soul to take life easy; eat and drink and be satisfied. That night, the Lord said to the rich man, "You fool! Tonight your soul will be taken away from you, and then there is a voice from God saying," Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?" (Luke 12:15-21).
Today we can see that many people are not concerned about their souls. They want to add money. They want to add property. They want to build a big house. They like to steal other people's property. Many people kill others for money and gold. Many people do injustice to others. There is no justice in the world. Therefore the Lord says that the people are destroyed because of their lack of knowledge as we see the wrath of God in the world and destruction everywhere (Hosea 4:6). The thing is, man leaves God who made him and is seen as making God himself. Think carefully. God made man. Can a man make God? Think about it. Educated people and wise people don't even think about it. Look, man creates Gods from the soil that God created. God's scripture says that the Lord formed a man from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). But man worships God by making them from the soil that God created. Think carefully. Can man create God? If man creates a deity like that, then man becomes greater than that deity.
What the Lord's scriptures say about this is that the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
What may be known about God has been revealed to them, because God has made it revealed to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Although, they knew God neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to him. But their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, practiced promiscuity (lesbian relationships), and received in themselves, the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossip, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful. They invent ways of doing evil, they disobey their parents, and they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, and no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them, says the Lord (Romans 1:18-32).
Therefore, God was angry with man because he made Gods and worshiped them, leaving the Lord who made him, and once in the time of Noah, He destroyed the world with water (Genesis 6, 7 chapters). Another time during Lot's time, fire and brimstone were sent down from heaven to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis chapter 19). A few more times, many areas have been destroyed by Tsunamis. A few times we have seen with our own eyes the devastation caused by terrible rain and earthquakes.
Just like that, our Lord Jesus Christ warns you through this Lord's message to avoid such destruction that will be seen in these last days (2 Peter 3:5-7). So dear ones! Children of God! Know that there is one God who made you (Psalm 95:6). He is "the Lord Jesus Christ". Turn to Him. He says: I am the way, the truth, and the life. He says that no one comes to the Father (into heaven) except through me (John 14:6). Moreover, those who grieve and bear the burden (of sin)! Come to me, all of you. Our Lord Jesus Christ calls you that I will give you rest. So let's not waste time and return to the Lord who made us!
We know that the time to come is very wicked. God is going to destroy this wicked world with fire and brimstone (Revelation 20:9). To escape that destruction, to escape our inner man (soul) to hell, let us return to the true God! He calls you. The Lord Jesus Christ is calling you.
Those who are all at the ends of the earth! Turn to me, all of you. Then you will be saved. Jesus Christ the true God calls you, I am God and there is no other (Isaiah 45:22). Come, you who are blessed by my Father! He directs our soul (inner man) to take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world (Matthew 25:34). The Lord is lovingly calling you who are reading this Lord's message to live a long life for our soul, to have a life that can be lived with God. Come on. Don't delay. Tomorrow is not ours. Today’s grace is the day of salvation
( 2 Corinthians 6:2). Let us use this day to protect our soul (inner man)!
Amen! The Lord is coming!!
Beloved ones! As this message is a useful message for every soul, we kindly ask you to read it, share and forward it to friends, loved ones, others, and groups and serve the Lord!
Jesus bless you!!!
