The Spiritual Mind or the heavenly mind is created in the new creation according to 2 corinthians 5:17. Therefore they that are after the Spirit mind the things of the Spirit.

Carnal Christians are babies who refuse to grow even though they have received the priviledges of a believer: the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Grace of God and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 1:2-5, Romans 6:1. Carnal Christians are shallow and hollow in the word of God. They are poor in scriptures and only hang on simplistic understanding refusing anything that taxes their mind and understanding. 1 Corinthians 3:2

[2]I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. Hebrews 5:12-13

[12]For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

[13]For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. Carnal Christians only endevor to show their spirituality just as the pharisees, busy doing things for the eye, men pleasers who motivation is pride and envy. Matthew 6:1-2

[1]Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

[2]Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. . . Conclusion: examine your level of Carnality, or watch whether you are growing or are an invalid. Let us all allow the Holy Spirit to have control over our will and lives. Shalom.

[1]And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

[2]I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

[3]For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? Two broad categories of people in the world - saved and the unsaved. Two categories of Christians in the world, Spiritual Christians and carnal Christians. The unsaved have not come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, don't have the Holy Spirit and are without Hope in the world and without God. They dont obey and can't obey the word of God. The carnal mind Romans 8:7

[7]Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:8

[8]So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Secondly the carnal grief the Holy Spirit by walking against his leading and so are disobedient and rebellious. The scripture warns against it; for by Him we are sealed to eternal life . Ephesians 4:30

[30]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. The carnal want to remain as babies, they do not feed on the spiritual food for them to mature but are eager to experience what's for the mature . Hebrews 5:12-14

[12]For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

[13]For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

[14]But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Every Christian must keep on evaluating their live or else will become carnal. For the war of the flesh and Spirit will not cease in the body but Christ overcame the world and has given us power to overcome the world. Learn from the churches in Revelation 2&3 and how they thought that it was ok with them through their works only to be reprimanded for erecting to be complacent in faithfulness and in do trine. God calls them to order but warns them if they continues In their lukewarm nature God would reject them. The carnal will be destroyed with the wicked according to the scriptures. Matthew 7:22-23

[22]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

[23]And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Let's take hers lest we find ourselves just like those who did not enter his rest. Hebrews 4:1-3

[1]Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

[2]For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

[3]For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

1 Corinthians 11:1

[1]Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1 Corinthians 4:16

[16]Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. Philippians 3:17

[17]Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 1 Timothy 4:12

[12]Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 2 Timothy 3:10

[10]But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,. 2 Peter 1:12-15

[12]Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

[13]Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

[14]Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

[15]Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

John 8:31

[31]Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; Matthew 7:20-23

[20]Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

[21]Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

[22]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

[23]And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. James 1:22

[22]But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 2 Peter 1:10

[10]Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:. 2 Corinthians 13:5

[5]Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? Matthew 7:13-14

[13]Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

[14]Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

come just as you are

account of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’  But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18 :11

We come to him in weakness

we are jars of clay, brittle, freakish and  fragile that they can easily break. it always has a warning handle with care. God isn't ignorant to know this.

He is aware and has risked to invest in us a great treasure, a heavenly deposit.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us 2 CORINTHIANS 4:7

2 POINTS

1. CHRIST IDENTIFIES WITH US IN OUR WEAKNESS

Jesus was in every way a man, he was made like his brothers in every respect Hebrews 2:17

Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.  For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. HEBREWS 4:15

Jesus feels you, when you cry, when the pain inside feels like a volcano waiting to burst, when you are all alone and abandoned, when you are betrayed by your best friend. pick any situation and he went through it yet didn't sin.

2. He is our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.   And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

-He supplies our food and makes our heart glad.

Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

since he knows our weakness and our failures he intercedes for us.

Job declares

My advocate is on High.

Hebrews :7:25

THEREFORE we must not go back to the old system of drawing near to God by the law that appointed men in weakness but required them to fulfil the whole law(all failed)

rather come to him as we are in our weakness for he chose us in him

For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.Hebrews 7:28

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.Romans 5:2

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.Hebrews 4:16

For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,...
