Three Kinds of People

The Bible tells us that there are three kinds of people...

Natural Man, Spiritual Man, and  Carnal Man.

Natural Man : is one who has not received Christ.
 “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised” -1 Corinthians 2:14.               
Spiritual Man : is One who is directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
“He who is spiritual appraises all things...We have the mind of Christ” -1 Corinthians 2:15.    
   
Carnal Man: is One who has received Christ, but who lives in defeat because is trying to live the Christian life in his own strength.
“And I brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to carnal men, as to babes in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still carnal. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshy, and are you not walking like mere men?” 1 Corinthians 3:1-3.

Pray God to make you Spiritual man. Ask, in prayer, the Holy Spirit to guide you. Every Day can be an Exciting Adventure for the Christian who knows the reality of being filled with the Holy Spirit and who lives constantly, moment by moment, under His gracious direction.

May God answer your prayer and bless you.
