The Spiritual Man
We all want to be a more spiritual man than more of carnal man.
Your life is either based on the Bible, or based on what man thinks.
As Christians our beliefs are to be based on the Bible.
We need to be doers of the Word, not hearers only.
One man or woman doing the Word of God changes the world.
The Bible IS the Word of God. It is timeless.
Turn to Romans 8:5-8.
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things
of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
It matters what you keep your mind on.
Your mind is where the battle is.
Turn to Isa 26:3.
Isa 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
As you can see we will be in complete and perfect peace if our mind is on God.
If your in turmoil...your mind is not stayed on Him. You have your mind on things of the flesh, things of the world.
Turn to Joshua 1:8.
Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
keep your mind..day and night on Him. The Lord knows we can do it...
He told us we can, so we can.
We won't end up in a mental institution if we keep our mind stayed on Him and in the Bible.
The more Spiritally minded you are the more peace you have.
God is real. Things of the Spirit are real.
Turn to 1Thess 5:23.
1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are spirits. We have a soul and we have a body.
Our body is the house we live in.
1st: Spirit
2nd: Soul(mind)
3rd: Body
People try to put the order in Body, Soul, Spirt because they are carnal minded.Why do people keep giving in to their flesh?
Their flesh has more strength than their spirit.
Feed your spirit man to be stronger than your flesh.
Turn to 1Cor. 2:10-3:2.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth
no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1Co 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
People who make fun of God are not spiritual people. The most spirtually minded people see
God everywhere in places that the unspiritual do not discern Him in.
If you are hungry to grow more spirtually you must seek to become mature to understand
more things of God.
Little babies are carnal. They are not comfortable. They want it and they want it now..
even 50 yr old babies LOL. They are only aware of what they want, not aware of
what others think except themselves..
Spiritual people are aware of whats going on. How else can the Holy Spirit use us if
we are not aware of our surroundings and those around us.
New born Christians are babes. We can expect baby behaviors from them. But we expect Christians to grow mature in Christ,
and to be able to eat meat as Paul says. God imparts wisdom to us only as we can hear it and receive it.
as we keep reading 1Cor.3:3
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal,
and walk as men?
People who are in strife, envious, in divisions you are carnal. It takes 2 people to fight.
Turn to James 3:13-14.
Jas 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with
meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Even though there is strife around you...you don't need to let it in you! Nobody can make us
have strife in our heart.
We can throw it off.
And as we keep reading James 3:15-18.
Jas 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jas 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy
and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Jas 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Whatever part of your being you feed...is going to grow stronger.
Starve the flesh and feed your Spirit!
Turn to Gal 6:1.
Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Spiritual people help to restore people. Helping other people get over problems.
We know there are certain ways to say things. If we are carnal we can be harsh and condemning with our words.
Do you know babes in Christ? You see by their behavior that they are immature spiritually. You can see
the growth potential they have. Are we speaking to them as babes, giving them milk to grow on
until they can eat solid food? Or are we trying to stuff meat in them that they cannot chew yet?
In fact are we ourselves eating meat, or are we still drinking milk? Be honest with yourself. Where are you in your walk?
There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. If you are a babe in Christ keep feeding on milk until you can chew meat.
If you can chew meat...keep seeking more meat and allow the Spirit to add some vegetables and whole grains as the Spirit
feeds your inner man a feast! We shall grow in leaps and bounds as the Spirit imparts wisdom as we seek to mature in Christ
and are able to yield ourselves more and more to the Spirit to work in us and through us.
