Romans 8:6
YOU HAVE TO BE SPIRITUAL!!!
Spirituality is not carnality, it is not going to church, it is not praying, prophesying, it is not studying the Bible, it is not helping and government in the church. Though all this things consists of spirituality. For "to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace". The carnal mind is enmity unto God and you cannot be carnal and be spiritual. Spirituality means connecting with the Spirit. When you live a spiritually controlled life, your service and relationship with God will be controlled by the Spirit.
Many people don't understand how and what it means by been spiritual, even Christian. The Lord has this to say.... Spirituality cannot exist without a relationship with God. If you want to be spiritual, create a relationship with God. A spiritual man cannot work in the flesh or his wisdom, else it becomes carnality. For you to be spiritual, you need to be spiritually matured. SPIRITUAL MATURITY is the level of an individual whereby He is controlled by the Spirit in life, time, place, manner and ministry. It is your relationship with God that determines how spiritual you are.
Spirituality gives life and peace therefore it should not be used for an occasion of the flesh, that is to be self willed and over familiarity with God because you are saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit. ERROR!!! Spirituality should be viewed from a supernatural perspective and when it is supernatural it is beyond carnality. Don't try to be like the world or imitate another man's ministry.
Spirituality cues you into the mind of God, Spiritually makes you walk in perfection. When a man is spiritual, he seeks the way of God and is chastised by the Lord. To be carnally minded is DEATH. you can not be carnal and be spiritual. When you set your affections on things below you are carnally minded. You can not be spiritual when grudges, malice, bitterness, envy, and little sins springs up, you may work for God and perish.
Or when you commit fornication, masturbation, adultery, lie, steal, and all manners of wickedness YOU ARE FAR FROM YOUR CREATOR.
Every Christian is expected to live a spiritual life. According to apostle Paul in (Philip 3:10).... .." That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection" You need to know God spiritually because you are serving a God of Spirit. SPIRITUALITY IS NOT CARNALITY. for you to experience this, allow The Spirit and word of God to mould you.
THIS I SAY THEN, WALK IN THE SPIRIT AND YE SHALL NOT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH. FOR IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT LET US WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
PEACE.
