2Cor.4:7-12.
Thus it is that God must crush our outward man. He breaks our will by taking away the things in our will\’s \”hand\” so that it cannot act independently. Not that we have no mind, but that we do not think after the flesh, according to our wandering imaginations. Not that we are devoid of emotion, but that all our emotions are under the control and restraint of the inward man. This gives the inner man a will, a mind, and emotions that are usable. God wants our spirit to use our outward man in loving, in thinking, and in deciding. While it is not His thought to annihilate our outward man, we must receive this basic dealing of being broken if we aspire to effectually serve God.
Until this happens, the inward and the outward man are at odds with each other, each acting independently of the other. When we are broken, the outward man is brought under the control of the inward, thus unifying our personality so that the shattered outward man may be a channel for the inward man.
- Pray for an active desire to keep away from iniquity and seek to be holy in the Ecclesia.
- Pray that the Lord will preserve your soul so that when the Rapture occurs, you will be a part of those who will be caught up with the Lord, whether you are dead or alive.
- Pray this for kingdom citizens everywhere (Jud 1:24; 1 Thess 4:16-17).
- Pray for the outpouring of the Spirit to cover our lands – the release of the Holy Spirit like a raging wild fire, the manifestation of the Spirit made visible (among men-indigenes, Muslims, idolatrous people, pagans, intellectual, business men, prisoners, the sick etc( to make wrong things right. (Luke 11:13,18:1-8).
