INNER AND OUTER TRUST EQUAL COMPLETE TRUST


INNER AND OUTER TRUST EQUAL COMPLETE TRUST

When people first experience the exercising of faith it is always on the outside, dealing with the temporal and material things. Trusting Me for food, shelter, and clothing, are usually the first steps. The advancing believer will move on to the bigger things that involve stronger trust such as faith and trust for unreachable family members, jobs, and major changes in lifestyle. These are the outer mountains that faith moves. However this outer trust is only the first half of trust. Next you must move to inner trust!

Inner trust is much more difficult to develop. You can believe for someone else's healing much more readily than for your own. Faith to overcome thoughts, desires and ambitions is a much longer process. Deep inside "you know that nothing good dwells within you, that is, in your flesh. You can will what is right, but you cannot perform it. You have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out. [19] You fail to practice the good deeds you desire to do, but the evil deeds that you do not desire to do are what you are ever doing. [20] Now if you do what you do not desire to do, it is no longer you doing it, it is not yourself that acts, but the sin principle which dwells within you, fixed and operating in your soul.

[21] So you will find it to be a law (rule of action of your being) that when you want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with you and you are subject to its insistent demands. [22] For you endorse and delight in My law in your inner self with your new born again nature. [23] But you discern in your bodily members, in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh, a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of your mind (your reason) and making you a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in your bodily organs in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh." Romans 7:18-23 AMP

Now the inner faith that it takes to overcome this is three fold. First to believe you will ever gain victory over the flesh, second to believe you are really born again, and third to believe I still love you in this condition. All the time this inner faith is being stretched to the limits, your outer faith can be flourishing and people you are believing for are being transformed. The difference between your inner and outer faith causes you to say to your self, I am a pitiable and wretched man! Who will release and deliver me from the shackles of this body of death?" Romans 7:24 AMP 

I have great news! I will My child, I will, because there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Me, if you walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Me has made you free from the law of sin and death. [3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Father sending Me, His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in you, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1-4 KJV

Once you realize that this process is all part of the born again growing process and you are no longer condemned to a fiery hell, you can become intimate with Me as your savior not as your judge. Then as you spend time with Me, My word will cause your inner faith to grow to a point where you can "cast down all your imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against My knowledge, and bring into captivity every thought and make it obey Me;" 2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV When you are reach this point you will carry My presence wherever you go and at times even your shadow will see people healed.

So be of good cheer this day and keep walking after My Spirit inside you, and your inner and outer faith will make you strong enough to "endure all the way to the end, and you will be saved".  Matthew 24:13 KJV
