Have you ever wondered why spiritual things remain a mystery to you? Does scriptures remain a mystery and unclear anytime you read it? Does Sunday sermon look like stories to you anytime you sit in church? Do you wonder why you easily wear out in prayer? I have an answer for you.
The major reason you feel all or some of the above is because you didn’t come spiritual. That is, you didn’t approach them in a spiritual way. You can’t approach spiritual thing in a carnal way and get result. If you want to understand the scripture or get maximum benefits from any spiritual thing, you need to come as a spirit. In other words, IT HAS TO BE SPIRIT TO SPIRIT.
1 Corinthians 2:14 NLT says
But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.
People who aren’t spiritual (e.g. a Christian) can’t receive truths from God’s spirit. Meaning, if you approach anything of God in a carnal or natural way, no matter what God’s spirit says you won’t RECEIVE or UNDERSTAND it. Why? Because;
The solution therefore is, anytime you want to do God’s things such as study God’s words, or pray or go to church, put off natural or carnal elements and get spiritual. How? Don’t do what will empower your flesh. Instead, do what will strengthen your spirit. Example of what strengthens your flesh is food. Example of strengthens your spirit is fasting. When you fast, your flesh and carnal nature is subdued and silenced while your spirit man comes alive. If you always approach God this way, you’ll always RECEIVE and UNDERSTANDING whatever the spirit of God is saying.
Don’t forget, to receive and understand spiritual things, it has to be spirit to spirit. So, get spiritual!
