The Cleansing of the Inner Man and Self


Book Description

One reason that Jesus came to earth was to redeem man (inner man) back to the Father through his death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is for the inner man. It is not for you, your flesh. Self is the enemy of the soul. The Holy Spirit purges the soul of sin when he is invited by you. He also keeps a close surveillance on self because it will wreak havoc of the soul. Self is the one that sins; the real you (inner man) does not sin at all because he is Christlike. Self is embedded in the soul of every human being on earth. You cannot expel self from the soul by pleading the blood of Jesus or by praying. It has a permanent fixture in the soul or outside of the soul. When God calls you home, self goes back to dust forever.

The Inner Man


Book Description

This book is about the human being in its entirety as present in the scripture to enable Christian believers to understand the work of salvation in Christ Jesus. Understandably it is a common knowledge that mankind consists of three components, which are spirit, soul and body, or spirit, mind, and body, but not many understand the spiritual implication of these components with regard to God's divine plan to rescue us from His wrath and destruction. Obviously we all understand what the body stands for, but not what the new testament writers refer to as the flesh; we may also have an idea of what the soul, mind, and spirit stands for but not what Jesus meant by the heart, or apostle Paul's teaching on the innerman, the inner person, or the inner being. Many may have settled for the conception of a person's ghost, trapped or entrapped somewhere in the galaxy yet lack the understating of God's creation of human being. The purpose of this book therefore is to examine this biblical facts regarding the inner man.

The Inner Man


Book Description

"That He would grant you according to the riches of His Glory to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man". This book Who is man explores the treasures God has endowed unto man but cannot be fathomed by the carnal wisdom. Those treasures are revealed by Christ who is the Wisdom of God and this book was written with the revelation of such wisdom. The invisible part of man which is his spirit and the most precious to God was made in His likeness. So carnally man cannot comprehend the width, length, depth, or the breadth of his inside nature. Hence David says I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Because of the unsearchable riches in man God decided to send His only son to come and redeem the which was lost. Ap. Stephen Ssenfuma, therefore, was entrusted with the mystery of the wealth of THE INNER MAN to help every Christian discover the riches and treasures in their Inner man which is the spirit which is the eternal part of man.

Prayers and prophesying to build up our inner man. Learn how to pray and proclaim the blood of Jesus and prophesy to the members of our inner man through the verses of the Bible so that we can develop and mature our inner man toward the purpose of the formation of Christ within us. Dr. Meshreky was devoted to medicine before being called to be set apart and committed for the Lord. In obedience to his calling, he became a consecrated celibate brother of the Coptic Church. He began to live a life in ministry, but faced spiritual struggles. He desired a holy life, but when comparing his spiritual reality to the picture of the true Christian life in the New Testament, he realized the disparity. Recurring sins/weaknesses remained; causing a yearning for a transformation that would manifest the grace of the New Testament. He entered into spiritual seclusion. During his seclusion years of worship, fasting, praying, and studying the word of God, He revealed rich mysteries and guided him to the way of the deep life in the Spirit. In his 40 years of ministry/seclusion, the Lord led him to discover the wells of the Early Fathers of the Church. These wells have rich springs, sources of living water of the Church that can lead us into deep/fulfilling worship in the Spirit. He has dedicated himself to share this with the body of Christ, in order to deepen the spiritual life enabling the Church to face end time challenges, reunite the mind of Christ in the Church East and West, and prepare the Bride for the second coming of Christ.




Renovation of the Heart


Book Description

As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
