Unlimited life through Holy Spirit
> “But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.”
1 Corinthians 2:10 NLT
One of the consequences of sin was that Adam and Eve lost the ability to “see” into the spiritual realm. Their spirits, which had connected them with God, essentially died. This is the reason why the unspiritual, or “carnal,” mind has trouble understanding God and His supernatural power and why it has problems dealing with anything it cannot explain.
The result of people’s disconnection from God is that they fall into thought patterns and actions that are contrary to His thoughts and ways. So then, those who are in the flesh [carnal] cannot please God. (Romans 8:8) The carnal mind determines people’s reality until they are born again, or “born of the Spirit” by receiving Jesus Christ. (See John 3:3–8.) But when we receive Jesus, our spirits are renewed, and we begin the process of renewing our minds with God’s thoughts. When we are born of the Spirit, we can receive the Spirit’s revelation. What God has done, is doing, and will do in the future is beyond our natural understanding. Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the Holy Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny.
Therefore, the degree to which we experience spiritual reality is determined by the level of revelation we have from Him through the Holy Spirit. Unless we continually renew our mind, our intellect tends to remain in the natural dimension, thereby creating limitations in our lives.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
