10/21/22 SELF CAN BE OUR GREATEST ENEMY

10/21/22 FIVE DIVINE GIFTS 

Remember the five inner filters: Reason, Desire, Emotion, Conscience, Will.

If you are a "natural man" (unsaved), these filters are programmed to shut off the gospel.
If you are a "carnal" Christian, they may be used as SHUT OFF VALVES to successful Christian living.

If you are a "spiritual" Christian (purified and Spirit filled) they can be open channels for God's graces to flow freely through your life.
(1 Corinthians 2:7-3:3, concerning the Natural Man, the Carnal Christian and the Spiritual Christian)

Before salvation these five inner filters are programmed to cut off the message and ministry of God in our lives.

When we get saved these five inner filters begin to work in agreement with the Holy Spirit as He leads and empowers our lives. 

When we surrender all and we follow Jesus fully, these five inner filters will filter out evil thinking, evil desires, self oriented emotions, hardness of heart and self will.

These five inner filters cannot be trained to be spiritual, they must be surrendered to God for His redemptive purposes and we must die to this world and to the flesh.
