From the desk of Steve Shultz:
This is a very powerful teaching from my friend, John Belt. I have ministered with John...his teachings and worship are highly anointed and full of heavenly revelation.
As we continue in this hour of "God cleaning house" and cleansing us from the inside-out...this is a most excellent word for this hour.
John Belt shares this inside-out revelation:
This divine progression of transformation is from the inside-out. For someone who lives by their natural appetites the progression is outside in, where the flesh is dictating all the actions, even training the soul to live after the flesh. Understanding this, we see the need to live from the inside-out where the Holy Spirit (God inside of us or Christ in us, the Anointed One) works His life from interior to the exterior. This way of living works spirit to soul to body, even enabling us to glorify God through our physical bodies.
Let this word encourage you to live by His Holy Spirit...from the inside-out! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Living by the Spirit – Inside-Out"
John Belt, Cincinnati, OH
One teaching that was very prevalent in my early years in the Lord was on knowing the difference between what is of your flesh (self), and what is truly of the Holy Spirit.
The Three Realms of Who We Are
When approaching this subject, we are dealing with the spirit, soul and body, as well as the Holy Spirit. For me, it was very helpful to learn about these things in my early years, because I wanted to know what was really God and what was just my own self. The emphasis on the differences between actions initiated by the soul and spirit was very helpful in learning and discerning the difference.
1 Corinthians 2:11-12, "For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God."
| "Because we have been born of the Spirit, the nature of God is there to be accessed on the inside." |
We are spiritual beings. When we are born of the Spirit, then our spirit that was dead, apart from God, is awakened. In Christ, we have become alive to God through the spirit man (Gal. 6:12). Our spirit is where the Holy Spirit communes with us (2 Cor. 13:14). He connects with the spirit because it is created in the image and likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:23-24, "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
For those who have experienced the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues (1 Cor. 14:14), the language of the spirit within us is released. This is our heavenly language that is not comprehensible to the natural mind or faculties.
The soul is our mind, will and emotions. The soul is, in a sense, caught in between the spirit (inner man/new creation) and the flesh. It is the decision center where we make our choices. Our soul and our thinking need trained in the... (continue reading)
