Believe and Receive—Then Have

When Jesus said, “. . . What things soever ye desire . . . ,” He meant just exactly what it said (Mark 11:24). And when Jesus said, “. . . when ye pray . . . ,” He meant the very moment you pray. You are to believe you receive whatsoever things you desire the moment you pray.
Jesus said, “. . . BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them.” In common, everyday language, Jesus said, “You’ve got to believe you’ve got your answer before you get it!”
This is a small nugget I was never taught in Sunday School or the church I grew up in. Even in the great University I went to learn the Word of God I was not told I was to believe and receive when. But that is in fact what the Word says. I hope this bless' you. Amen

The Revelation of God’s Word in Your Heart

You’ve got to get the revelation of God’s Word in your heart. That’s the reason we have to depend upon the Spirit of God to open and unveil the Word to us.
It’s very difficult sometimes to get people to see some truths from the Scriptures because they sometimes try to figure it out with their minds, instead of with their spirits. We have to depend upon the Spirit of God to unveil and unfold the Word to people. Amen good Word for someone.

The Inward Man

ROMANS 7:22 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man.
In Romans 7:22, the spirit of man is called the “inward man.” So this inward man and the hidden man gives us God’s definition of the human spirit. Remember the real man is a spirit; he has a soul; and he lives in a body (1 Thess. 5:23). With our spirit we contact the spiritual realm; with our soul we contact the intellectual and emotional realm; and with our physical being we contact the physical realm. You can’t contact God with your mind. You can’t contact God with your body. You can only contact God with your spirit. And God contacts and communicates with you through your spirit.
Can you remember as a sinner how the Word of God affected you on the inside, in your spirit? The Holy Spirit through the Word, spoke to your heart or your spirit. You heard the Word with your physical ears, but it affected your spirit.
The Word of God is of the Spirit of God, and the Bible says the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind. The reason the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind is that you don’t understand the Bible with your head; it is spiritually understood. You understand the Bible with your heart or your spirit. Amen

The Heart of Man

For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. —Romans 10:10 
Notice particularly the words, “For with the heart man believeth. . . .” It’s with the heart that man believes. Now when God speaks of the human heart here, He is not speaking of the physical organ. He is actually speaking of the human spirit which is the very center of man’s being.
We know that man was created in the image and the likeness of God (Gen. 1:26). That means man is in the same class with God. Man has to be in the same class with God, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to worship God in spirit and in truth.
To believe God with your heart means to believe God with your spirit—the real man or the inner man. Amen

The Hidden Man of the Heart Is the Real Man

The same thing is true with the “hidden man of the heart,” as the spirit man is called in First Peter 3:4. Your spirit man on the inside is actually the “real you,” for it is the part of you that is eternal.
The inward man, your spirit, is called the hidden man. He is the man of the heart; the man of the spirit. The hidden man is hidden to the physical or the natural man. The natural man doesn’t necessarily want to submit to the inward man (Rom. 8:7), but the inward man—the spirit man is the real man on the inside.
Believers need a new psychology, which goes beyond the mere study of the mind of man. We ought to call it spiritology because psychology only deals with the operation of the human mind through the physical senses. Psychology books have to be constantly changed because they are based on natural human knowledge and theories. Spiritology, on the other hand, would be the study of the human spirit. In Romans 7:22 the spirit is called the “inward man.” This inward man or the “hidden man” in First Peter 3:4 gives us God’s definition of the human spirit.

The Spiritual Realm Is Real

Jesus with His physical body now in heaven is not more real than the Holy Spirit or God the Father is real. God is a Spirit. Some people think God is some sort of an impersonal influence. No, God is a Spirit.
The Bible says that angels are spirits, or spirit beings, and yet angels have a form or a spirit body.
God is a Spirit; yet He is no less real because He is a Spirit than He would be if He had a physical body. Jesus with His physical body is now in heaven (Heb. 1:3), but He is not more real than the Holy Spirit or the Father is real. Spiritual things are just as real, even more real than material things. Amen

Physical Death Is Separation From the Body

When a man dies, he leaves his physical body.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:8 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ABSENT FROM THE BODY, and to be PRESENT WITH THE LORD.
PHILIPPIANS 1:21-24 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to DEPART, AND TO BE WITH CHRIST; which is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide IN THE FLESH is more needful for you.
When a believer dies, he leaves his physical body, and he goes to heaven to be with the Lord. Friends, we can only understand God and the things of God through His Word. And we cannot know God through our natural human knowledge and through our minds. God is only revealed to man through the spirit. This is so true, I lost a great man of God yesterday from a attack of satan, he (Will) is dancing in glory with my Lord. Amen
