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. Continue...
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.
