spiritual man/woman. This one has lost himself completely to God. He himself has decreased completely, and Christ is increased completely. Galatians 2:20. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. This person is spiritually minded. He has left everything for God. He is very strong. Such a person is soo broken, you can feel Jesus in them. You can tell this person has encountered Christ. He does not entangle himself with the affairs of men. You cannot discourage such a man, he knows that it’s Christ who lives through him. He understands the price that Christ paid for them. He has gotten to point where what bothers others doesn’t bother them. They go through hardships but aren’t worried, they know Christ is in-charge of their lives. Christ is enthroned in their life. The spiritual man, is the one who is empowered and directed by The Holy Spirit. The things of the world don’t make sense to him, they don’t exite him. He is soo given to Christ, until his only driving force is to please God. He really desires to please God. Philippians 1:21. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. He doesn’t fight for the things people are fighting over. What really concerns them is, ‘Am I at peace with God?’. They are empowered by The Holy Spirit. He is effective in prayer and evangelism. Anyone can discern him easily. He has worn Christ. He knows when someone attacks him, he is attacking God. You cannot touch him, because it’s God you’re touching. His life is hidden in Christ. You must attain a certain level of spiritual discipline. You must suppress the carnal man. Set your mind on things above. Colossians 3:1- 3. If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Romans 8:5 - 8. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. To be carnally minded is death. Things aren’t moving in your life. You can’t enjoy peace until you’re spiritually minded. These men manifest in fruits, each with their class. (Galatians 5 : 19 - 24) On the scale of 1-3, where are you? We are made of 3 parts, the body(flesh), the soul and the spirit. The soul has the mind and the will. The flesh wants to follow it’s way, and the spirit its way, but the soul moves to either direction. The will does what the flesh wants or what the spirit wants. This depends on what you consume. Consume the things of the spirit, and your will(in the soul), will follow the things of the spirit. Desire to grow into a spiritual man. Stop hindering and limiting God with your carnality. Psalms 78:41. Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. There are things God desires to release unto you, but your carnality limits Him. Desire God above all, grow into the spiritual mind. Spirituality is not praying in tongues alot, it’s what you do after you have prayed in tongues alot. If you have envies, strifes, contentions, even though you pray in tongues, you are still carnal. God judges spirituality by how you interact with others, not how much you pray in tongues. Praying in tongues is not bad, but the intention is what matters. Some people pray for others to see them. Carnality manifests in various ways. Eg when Papa says he’s not coming to church, and you also decide not to come, that is carnality. Some people serve in church to be seen. They will get mad if asked to step down from serving, and another serves in their place. Carnal people are not interested in God really, they are interested in showing themselves.
As long as you refuse to grow, God will never give you some things, since you’re a babe. You cannot give your child a car, even if you love them too much. They will kill themselves, since they are babes. So God cannot trust a babe with power, it will destroy them. We don’t just get into things, we grow into them. Fruit proves root. If you have fruit, then you have root. The first thing that grows is roots, then fruits. Without roots you can never get fruit. For you to grow root, you must be able to stay put at one place
