within our hearts, but it is contained in our fleshly bodies and human frailty. It is when this vessel is broken that the surpassing power pours out. It is the breaking of the outer man and the release of the Spirit. When we are humbled and submitted and our foolish pride and fleshly identity is broken before God, the power and knowledge of Christ and His glory flows from our lives. He does this to display that the origin is from Him and not our own lives. Pride would claim the power and glory for ourselves.

Please pray for me as I face many daily trials, but persevere in the promise that in the breaking of my outer man, the fire of Gods glory will be released in my life. The enemy will be routed and hell will be plundered. In the light and heat of the refining fire I look forward to the fire of the Holy Spirits work. Let the God who answers by fire be God!
