Chapter Twenty-five "The Inward Man"

CHAPTER 25

THE INWARD MAN

Romans 7:22 “For I ( ego - surrendered human soul)  delights in the law of God AFTER THE INWARD MAN;…” (quickened human spirit)

The carnal soulish self hates the law for exposing it; yet the law is good in the sense that it is leading you to your INWARD MAN, your human spirit, which CANNOT SIN, or act independent from its Father. (read I John 3:9 below).  You now can understand what it means, “to follow the Father of our spirit and live.”  We, the most part of our lives, follow our fathers of the flesh; at some point the Holy Spirit gets us to see our true Father, the Father of our spirit.  This is what I have come to call “the undoing” of what has been done to us.  I also have expressed it as “the weaning;” a weaning which the Holy Spirit was given the task to conform us to an image that God has of us in our quickened human spirit laying dormant in us.  You can see what Jesus meant when one day has to says, “Depart from me, you who have worked iniquity, I never knew you.”

How does He know us?  After the spirit and not after what we have become in the eyes of the present world around you.  You see this in the word “iniquity;” the iniquity of the parents that visits to the third and fourth generation.  Why does it just say to the third and fourth generation?  Because somewhere in between this 3^rd and 4^th generation, the Holy Spirit gets to someone; then the 5^th to 6^th generation can chose to go its own way once again.  Thank God that at some point someone in that family wakes up in their spirit, and goes the way that God had predetermined before the foundation of the world.

(“Cannot sin…. I JOHN 3:9 “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed (the human quickened spirit) remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he (human quickened spirit) is born of God.”

You see what John was saying from Peter’s added comments:

I Peter 1:23 “Being born again; not of corruptible SEED, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever.”  (Note it says that this seed is Eternal, incorruptible, abide forever. The human spirit is eternal, always was, and always will be.  This is explained further in the following paragraphs.)

NOTE; this seed came by the Word of God; when? We see this in the expression, “which lives and abides forever.”  This word was established in an eternal realm, before this world ever began.  This “seed” is what John called, “He lighteth every man that comes into the world.”  Also we see it in Solomon’s statement in the follow scripture;

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.  He has also set ETERNITY in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

God has placed in each of us an ETERNAL SPIRIT and in this eternal spirit is an eternal seed, it will live forever.  He knows us after this placed human spirit, which He had originally desired that this spirit would express itself through a body and a living soul that would surrender its will to the will of this spirit, allowing this spirit to express itself through the channel of this surrendered temporal soul’s intellect, and emotions.  You see this in the Apostle Paul’s express of this in Gal. 2:20-21 “I (ego) am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I (ego), but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.  I do not frustrate the grace of God; for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”

Amazing…so much to this, and lately it is coming out for us as never seen before.  Amazing.   Paul
