For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:14-16).
Man is a spirit and he dwells in a body. That spirit or inner man is the real you. As the body or outward man can be weak, so can the inner man be weak if not properly nurtured spiritually. Your inner man must be strengthened with might – miracle – working ability – at all times for you to be able to deal effectively with the crises of life.
Food is to the physical body what the Word of God, prayer, and meditation are to your inner man. Your inner man is strengthened as you spend time studying and meditating on the Word, and praying in the spirit, in other tongues. You also develop the right character and are able to do the things of God more effectively.
Christians who vacillate, not being able to do the things they should do, or strong enough to refuse those things they shouldn’t do, demonstrate an inner weakness. When the inward man is energized, he’ll make the body do what it’s supposed to do, and refrain the body from doing what it shouldn’t do. You need that divine inner fortitude and strengthening in your spirit to forge ahead in life.
You may say, “I like to pray, but sometimes I just can’t get myself together to do it”; or “I want to win souls, but somehow I feel too shy and intimidated to speak.” Such things happen when your spirit is not energized. When your inner man is strengthened, you become fervent in the things of God all the time. You’ll love to pray and praise God; studying the Word will become an exhilarating experience for you! It won’t be hard for you to talk to somebody about Jesus; because you’re energized for the Gospel from within; you’re on top every day, bubbling for the Lord!

What will l do so that my spiritual eyes would be open
Reading and meditating on the word of God. In addition also listening to Godly preaching will open up your eyes, just as the servant of God has said. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God alone.
I was actually praying during middle of the night, the spirit of God told me to pray for my inner man then I started praying,more understanding came to me, it was after the prayers I now made research about THE INNER MAN then I came across this, am blessed. Kolawole from Nigeria.
