To strengthen the inner man
To deepen one's faith in the reality that the Spirit lives within each of us to empower us to live lives of obedience by submission to His complete control over our every decision.
To make the unfathomable, inescapable love of God more of a reality in one's daily experience than the mere knowledge of that love in one's theology.
To encourage someone along the journey to becoming filled with the fullness of God--to becoming Christ in the room wherever they are.
And such a work is impossible without a total dependence on God. And
total dependence on God is impossible without a reliance on intercessory
prayer for those we have been called to disciple. Not by human
strength nor by human power but by the Spirit only can discipleship be
effectual.
And without discipleship the church is totally incapable of impacting the world. Simply because it is off mission. Whatever work it claims to be doing, is not God's work. It's the work of human strength and human power.
