The Carnal MindSample

The Flesh Wars Against God.

“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:7‬ ‭KJV

The carnal mind, or the fleshly mind, or the worldly mind, is enmity against God. According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Enmity” is, ‘echthra’ (G2819) which means, “Hostility, reason for opposition or hatred.” The flesh hates God. The flesh is hostile against God. The flesh is against God’s Way of doing things. Surrender your heart to Him. Let God give you a new heart. 

Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” God will give you a new heart — a soft heart. A heart of flesh. God will create in you a heart that reflects His Character. Psalms‬ ‭51:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬ declares, “Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.”

As you surrender to God, He will transform you. He will make you new. He will make you whole. When you are in Christ, He will make you complete. The flesh and the carnality of the world leads to spiritual and physical death. But life in Christ is power and full of joy. Your heart is longing to be transformed. Your heart is longing to be renewed. Your heart is longing for Him. Surrender to Christ and be set free. Commune with Christ. 

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, or if you have fallen away from Him, simply say this prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, I repent of my sin. I turn to You. Father, I receive Your Son, Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior. I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose just for me. 

I believe that His Blood washes me and cleanses me from all unrighteousness. Father, in You, I am set free. Father, through the Blood of your Son, Jesus Christ my past is history and my future is bright. 

Father, In You, I am made new. Father, in You, I am complete. Father, in You, I am made whole. Father, in You, I am restored. Father, I surrender every area of my life to You now and forever. In Jesus Name. Amen.
