10/12/2025 - David Beverley - Introduction to Carnality
Bro. David introduces the biblical concept of carnality—the inner conflict between the flesh and the Spirit. After salvation, believers are justified and made spiritually alive, yet the flesh still fights for control of the heart, mind, and daily decisions. The message calls Christians to recognize this battle, track their spiritual growth, and learn to walk in the Spirit rather than letting the flesh dictate their choices, habits, or direction.
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Salvation changes your position, but surrender changes your direction.
Justification makes you legally righteous before God—but the daily walk must still be yielded to the Spirit.
Carnality is simply the flesh in control.
Not always rebellious, but always self-directed. The flesh says, “I choose my way,” while the Spirit says, “Lord, Your way.”
Spiritual growth must be intentional.
A believer should see measurable evidence of growth—through obedience, prayer, Scripture application, and Spirit-led decisions.
