We thus will speak of the spirit as the inward man, the mind as the outer man, and the body as the outermost man. We must never forget that our inward man is the human spirit where God dwells, the place where the Spirit of the Lord is joined to our spirit.

Just as we are dressed in our clothing, so our inward man wears an outward man—i.e., our spirit wears the mind. Moreover, the spirit and

mind similarly wear the body. It is quite evident that men are

generally more conscious of the outer man and the outermost man,

but they hardly recognize or understand their inner man, their spirit.

We must know that he who can work for God is the one whose

inward man has been released. The basic difficulty of a servant of God

lies in the failure of his inward man to break through his outward

man. Therefore, we must recognize before God that the first

difficulty to our work is not in others, but in ourselves. Our spirit

seems to be wrapped in a covering which cannot easily break forth. If

we have never learned how to release our inward man by breaking

through the outward man, we are not able to serve. Nothing can so

hinder us as this outward man. Whether our works are fruitful or not

depends upon whether our outward man has been broken by the Lord

so that the inward man can pass through this brokenness and come

forth. This, in a statement, specifies the basic problem. The Lord

wants to break our outward man in order for the inward man to have a way out. When the inward man is released, we will be blessed.
