It’s Of The Spirit… Not The Mind! · Tuesday
11
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth (John 4:24).
1 Corinthians 2:14 says, "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." This is because Christianity is beyond the senses! The lack of
understanding of this truth accounts for the frustrations many experience in
their faith-walk. God contacts your spirit, not your mind. Faith emanates from
your spirit and not your mind; it’s the response of the human spirit to the
Word of God. It has nothing to do with the senses.
Our senses weren’t designed to perceive
God; we walk with Him from our spirit; we serve Him with our spirit, and understand
spiritual realities through the Spirit. Our minds weren’t fashioned for that;
only our spirit can relate with God. And then, based on that relationship, we
condition our minds from our spirit to go in the same direction, and control
our senses to serve our purpose.
That means, the character that we
express outwardly will always be dependent on the condition of our spirit—who
we are inside.
That’s why we need the Spirit of God to
guide us from within. He alone can get deep into the human nature to effect the
changes that God wants in us— changes in terms of growth and development—from
one level of glory to another. He alone can guide our minds to think toward
God, think like God, and to think from God.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for guiding me
by your Spirit, to think like you and see things from your perspective, and not
merely from the natural standpoint. As I walk in the light of your Word, I
experience supernatural growth from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
