Our Inner Man is Renewed Day by Day

Our Inner Man is Renewed Day by Day (2 Cor 4:16)

There is one lesson that we all should learn, namely this - the absolute necessity of fellowship with Jesus every day.

Many Christians backslide because this truth is not taught or adhered to. They are unable to stand against the temptations of the world, or of their old nature. They strive to do their best against sin, and to serve God but they have no strength. They have never really grasped the secret - The Lord Jesus will every day from heaven continue his work in me.

But on one condition - the soul must give Him time each day to impart His love and His grace. Time Alone with the Lord Jesus is the indispensable condition of growth and power.

                                                  The Secret of Fellowship with God, Andrew Murray

Many a times, we strive to fight against sin but with our own strength. And without tapping upon Heavens' resources - we may be disappointed and discouraged.

Similarly fasting without coming into the God's Presence is starving. Fasting to me is converting the hunger pangs into time with God. Each time when hunger pangs come - go to God and talk to Him and draw strength from Him to be able to fast.

Anyone struggling with some hidden sins or addictions - try fasting for 3 days and draw strength from Him to break the enslavement. The urge for food will get fiercer with each passing day, but you will experience victory when you press in.

God really has desire to change our hearts and make us realise how amazing we are in His eyes. And we want to know that desire because it changes us when we feel the weight of it. We want to have a greater ability to feel the presence of God, to feel his desire for us and to have the desire for him by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Dear YaYAs, let’s rise up to a lifestyle of daily prayer and regular fasting, and stepping into the destiny what God has for us.
