We have an OUTER man and an INNER man. It is easy to become more interested in our OUTER life and what God can do for us, than our INNER life of fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit Who lives IN US. We can be more concerned with our reputation with people than our reputation with God. How much of our time do we give to God? We should value our relationship with God above all other things of our outer life!

God is looking for those whose heart is perfect toward Him: “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal (perfect) toward Him” (2Chronicles 16:9). Those with a PURE heart toward Him will see His power and glory. Our Lord Jesus should be our PORTION, our ALL in ALL.

Knowing and submitting to the Lordship of Jesus begins at salvation and is the key to true spiritual growth. He is worthy to receive our obedience and worship as Lord because He gave Himself to us to be our Saviour.

In Revelation 2:2-4 Jesus calls us to:

(1) REMEMBER what He has done for us and our first love for Him.

(2) REPENT - admit the fault is OURS!

(3) RETURN to our first love.

The gift of speaking in tongues is the supernatural ability to pray to God in a language that our mind does not understand. It is available to all believers in Christ (Acts 2:4, 1Corinthians 14:5). Praying in tongues is very beneficial to our spiritual life: “He who speaks in a tongue EDIFIES himself” (1Corinthians 14:4). God has given us this supernatural gift by which we can speak to Him spirit to Spirit, praying with our spirit rather than from our understanding (1Corinthians 14:14), SPEAKING mysteries (DIVINE SECRETS) with our HEAVENLY FATHER (1Corinthians 14.2).
