Carnalonology- A. S. O

HMMMMM........

Carnality can be defined as the flesh that is sensual, controlled by animal appetites and governed by human nature instead of by the spirit of God (source: vine's exposition dictionary). You might not believe with this assertion but believe me that carnality is an animal which occurred as a result of flesh which you consistently and continuously nurturing.

Christianity is a journey of spirit surrounded with envelopes of faith through the word of God not sense, human theory of life calculation and humanly way of planning things of God. Inability to understand this point of view is a big and jeopardized case in our walking with and working for Almighty God because a person can have all the gifts of the spirit operating in his life and still be carnal if he fail to learn and study how to keep his body and soul under the dominion of God spirit.

There are many of us that are filled with the authentic spirit of God like in the time of Corinthians but yet be held in a babyhood state of Christianity because your Christianity was built by carnal where flesh is the Major general, body is the President and sense rule like managing director. Many a times we allow our five sense organ to dominate us rather than holy spirit.

In my journey on earth, I've come across many believer that argue the power of prayer and thereby decided to go for alternative options in herbalist, sorcerer, and so on. Don't question them, its was the act of carnality, but can you blame anybody for your carnality or maybe satan, NO!!! If Christians fail to develop their spirits but allow their bodies, minds and emotions to rule them, they remain in carnal or babyhood state of spirituality.

Carnal Christians easy fall prey to the devil's wiles through division and strive
Some Christians think they deserve persistent and continual deliverance meeting for them to escape Satan, they thought  they need evil cast out of them because they are so easily tossed about by Satan. It would have been helpful if you can deepen your faith in the word of God. Satan does not have access to you in the arena of God's word, but he does in the realm of the senses when you are sense-ruled and, led by body and soul.
It has been a human attributed case that Man is always trying to come up with excuses rather than relying on what God has already laid down in His word. Man also do try to find some other way than God's way to arrive at spiritual maturity, success and victory over  the devil in every circumstance.
If he can find any easy way to do things like blaming everything on the devil, he will do it rather than to live  by the principles of God's word.

In conclusion, it is much easier to try to cast devil out than it is to take the responsibility to consistently renew your mind with the word and keep your flesh under subjection to your spirit. Do you know there is a stupid beast in you, as it was in all of us? The beast is Flesh, your carnal unregenerated human nature, and you will have that carnal nature to subdue as long as you are on earth. In that sense, we could say there is a beast in all of us. There is a carnal nature in the unregenerated human nature in the flesh of man. However, the carnal nature is not in your spirit if you are born again. Oh, thank God one day you will also have a new glorified body. Until that time embodied yourself by weapon off God's word and consistence prayer life. May Almighty God help us all in these personal and tough race of Christianity.
