Watch out for the 'natural man'.

Today, we will temporary go to a teaching on the 'carnal' vs. the 'spiritual' person.  Tomorrow we will resume the 'God's Gift' series.  So therefore ....

Watch out for the 'natural or carnal' man.  They can deter and 'detour' God's promises and supernatural in the lives of the 'spirit-led' person.  Please read.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. I Corinthians 2:13‭-‬16 NKJV

AMEN!

Please take note thta the 'natural or carnal' person (and they could call themselves 'Christians'), does not have the capacity or wherewithal to receve the things of the Spirit of God.  Why?  Because their nautral mind blocks or tries to analyze naturally the 'supernatural things' of God.

Jesus had problems with these types when He ministered here on earth.  That is why he would make such comments such as, 'Do you have eyes, but fail to see.  Do you have 'ears' but fail to hear?'  The carnal person tries to understand and tries to 'correct' the spiritual person, but comes up 'short everytime'.  Because they are 'spiritually discerned'!

Beware of substituting the 'carnal person's advice' for your God's given directions that God has given you in your prayer times and walk with Christ.

God's Word always produces 'peace, power and calmness'.

Amen.
