Beyond The Senses
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.
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 from glory to glory. He alone can guide
your mind to think like God, talk like Him, and live
accordingly. Hallelujah!
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.
