WE REMAIN STRONG THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN IS PERISHING 2ND CORINTHIANS 4:16
Daily soul feast
day 27 NOVEMBER

Father we are being afflicted by the enemy so that we can give up our treasure but we have resolved to remain strong. 

Lord, do not surrender us to the will of satan and our enemies who are seeking to destroy our body to steal our treasure. 

We remain confident of this; we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 

Therefore we do not despair, but even if our physical body is wearing away, our inner person is being renewed day by day. 

There are so many things contending against our bodies because they do not want us to run the race to the end and obtain the crown of glory God has prepared for His children. 

Outwardly our bodies are being destroyed by satan’s arrow and we are afflicted on every side; but the pain we are experiencing now is light when we consider the eternal glory that awaits us. 

“but the pain we are experiencing now is light when we consider the eternal glory that awaits us. ”

WE REMAIN STRONG THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN IS PERISHING 2ND CORINTHIANS 4:16

When Jesus was deeply grieved to the point of death because of the cross that was ahead of Him. 

He looked up to God in prayer for strength. Jesus said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

Not minding the physical pain; Jesus was more interested in doing the will of the Father and God gave Him the strength to carry on to the end. 

God understands our pain; He gives power to the weak and to those who have no might He increases strength. Satan wants us to get weary for us to reject the will of God. 

But he forgot that: those who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

WE REMAIN STRONG THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN IS PERISHING 2ND CORINTHIANS 4:16

Do not give in to discouragement, be desirous of doing the will of God even when it is tough and painful; because our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.

 If you want to be an overcomer; let the mind of Christ be in you. 

And Christ will give you the Holy Spirit to renew your spirit and also give strength to your inner mind.

 It is good for you to draw near to God and make Him your refuge. When you place your trust in Him He will guide you with His counsel, leading you to a glorious destiny. 

You will be able to declare: my health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God my heart; He is mine forever.

WE REMAIN STRONG THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN IS PERISHING 2ND CORINTHIANS 4:16

Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ

 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  

And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you. 

We are not looking at the things being seen, but the things not being seen. For the things being seen are temporary, but the things not being seen are eternal.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.  We are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for why does one still hope for what is seen? 

But if we hope for what we do not see we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

WE REMAIN STRONG THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN IS PERISHING 2ND CORINTHIANS 4:16

Pray to God: Restore me to yourself O Lord that I may return; renew my days as of old. 

And as you do this: heaven and the angelic hosts will celebrate your return.  Jesus said there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 

Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will be over. 

Answers to your prayers will no longer suffer delay and God will keep you safe.

"2ND CORINTHIANS 4:16"

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 2ND Corinthians 4:16 (NLT)

WE REMAIN STRONG THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN IS PERISHING: BIBLE REFERENCES

24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 

12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

PRAYER PETITIONS
