I didn't mean anything by that. I appreciate your insight.

Some of the most naturally minded people I know, are those who have the Holy Ghost. It's sad!

Not sad, but smart. Wait on God for revelation instead of butchering Revelations.

A very good pastor friend of mine, whom I consider a mentor, has had the opportunity to be at the bed side of the departing, both the saved and the lost. One women, was dying and as she was dying starting to scream in a tormenting voice, "there is only ONE God".

[I]I Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. /I]

Whats on the other side is a dimension that this natural mind cannot comprehend. Thats why Paul said about the heavenly place, "heard unspeakable words, that is unlawful for man to utter.''

Im beginning to firmly believe in order for a individual to understand Gods word, they have to be fully committed to the spiritual things of God. Otherwise through the natural eye, all they'll see is things natural.

Brother,

All you have to do is back off on those cheeseburgers and French fries. You will become more spiritual. If you go without that nasty natural food long enough you will starve that filthy natural flesh to death and spirit is all that remains.

The truth of the matter is that we should balance the natural and the spiritual. Nobody conceives children in the spirit. Most meals are not eaten while speaking in tongues. God’s plan is that we balance the natural and the spiritual. To say otherwise (we should be all spiritual) is contrary to God’s plan.

At some level you understand this. Have you eaten in , I don’t know, the last three or four weeks? Did you have anything for breakfast?

You are entirely too natural minded. Shame on you for feeding your nasty, filthy flesh. You are soooooooo carnal! (A small bit of sarcasm, just a hint, is included in this post. It was entirely of the flesh, but it may be a parable. A story of natural happenings, that has a spiritual parallel.)

You don’t do 3-4 week fasts?

It shows a lot that when I say we have to be committed to the spirit fully, and you bring up food as some way to counter act the fact to understand spiritual things one needs to be spiritual.

One elder told me the other day, he was on a 28 day fast, and it was his last day of the fast. He walked out of his house and his stomach grumbled and he said “just for doing that, we’re going to go another three days”. Lol! I love it.

Yes I don’t do three or four weeks of fasting.

The question was to you though.

Have you eaten anything in the last three or four weeks?

The reason the elders stomach grumbled is because he is in the flesh. It wasn’t his spirit that growled, it was his flesh.

Why did his flesh growl?

Because he is carnal. I guarantee that.
