Three Kinds of People
Natural Person
Atheist, agnostic, materialist, humanist person
Most atheist try their best to explain spirituality and the idea of a human soul as our brain’s natural mechanism for dealing with death.
As self-aware creatures, death frightens us.
So, in order to avoid the stress of dealing with thoughts of a final end, we created a story that death is not the end to make ourselves feel better about our inevitable end.
Carnal (Fleshly) Person
Christians who lean on the flesh
1st nature response to trouble
Has not truly grown beyond the elementary teachings of Christ
Their walk in Christ is primarily motivated and generated by sight - what they can see
Rather than by faith
Spiritual Person
1 Corinthians 2:15 (ESV)
The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.
God’s word is the standard by which the spiritual person judges all things
Only the Spiritual Person Walks by Faith!
A questions to ponder
1. Are you living by sight at the expense of walking by faith?
2. How many of you believe that is more blessed NOT to see Jesus physically and believe - than to actually see Him and believe in Him?
Human (carnal) nature says “if only”
Hall of faith in Hebrews 11
How do we get Faith?
Why does God not want us to walk by sight?
Eyes deceive us
Sun rises in the east and sets in the west
Thousands of years people believed that the earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around the earth.
Feelings and perception can deceive us
Earth rotating 1000 mph
Airplane example
The standard of what you hear is God’s word because - what you hear can also be deceiving
Have to know how distinguish otherwise the sound rolling around your head is noise
Physical ear
hearing is a function of sound traveling thru 3 parts of the ear
outer part receives sound waves
middle ear takes the sound waves and turn them into vibrations through the beating of 3 bones.
hammer avil and stirrup
inner ear where the vibrations go through a Cochlea that turns into nerve signal that is interpreted by the brain
Tenitus (ringing in the ear)
There are not vibrations it is an illusion.
Two Important Rules of Faith
Faith receives and never generates
Faith is God’s word does not come or is generated before you hear it
Noah built the ark after receiving instructions
Children crossed the Red Sea after it was parted
2. Presumption generates but never receives (spiritual tinnitus)
Tinnitus is your ear hearing something without actually functioning
Spiritual Tinnitus goes by the name of presumption
You are doing things that your perceive to be spiritual when in fact God never initiated
God spoke to me, God told me, God showed me
Faith responds to what God initiates.
Presumption initiates and expects God to respond.
