he Recovery
Psalms 147:3
Eph 3: 16-19 – “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Final Thought: The world we live in trys so hard to steal our inner life altogether, if they can. And then, what is our outer life worth? It is worth Nothing. If our inner life gets thin and shallow, the outer life must become a perfunctory discharge of duties.

Bible Study Passage: 1st John 1:5 – 2:6
One of the most aggravating, painful, and confusing aspect of our walk in Christ is our struggle with Sin. As a follower of Jesus Christ, we may find in us this dual nature. Our inner being delights in God and ready to do His will. Yet we find our flesh, vulnerable to Sin. We find ourselves constantly in the battlefield. Sin in the life of a believer is one of the major theme in the book of 1st John. It is a fact that we Christian do sin. We cannot deny it, cannot ignore it or live with it. 1st John 1:5 – 2 – 6 specifically deals with the Sin in the life of a believer.
• 1:6 – If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
• 1:8 – If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
• 1:10 – If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
• 2:4 – Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
We can deceive ourselves to convince us that ‘everything is alright’. Only in the light of God’s word, our true condition is ‘exposed’, we can truly see where we are. (James 1: 22-25 – Word of God like a Mirror
Take a look at these verses. We are often told to listen to the heart. Jeremiah tells us in Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
