Be Spirit led

1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

Paul is addressing the carnality of the Corinthian church. It was a huge issue for them that was causing lots of problems. I can testify 2000 years later carnality is still an issue in churches. Carnality is caused by people not being led by the Spirit. Reduce it to its basic element and that is what you have. We will be led by two things as Christians.....the Spirit, or ourselves. If we are not led by the Spirit we are led by our own desires. Our "self" can be broken down into three components:1) What we want 2) What we think 3) What we feel.

Self centered thinking is the hallmark characteristic of carnality. When we get carnal it is no longer about what God wants, it is about what we want. When we get carnal it is no longer about what God thinks, we act on what we think without consider God's thoughts. When we get carnal its about how we feel and what we feel like doing and not how God feels and what He wants us to do.

Let me share with you three steps to becoming a spiritual giant:
1) Ignore what you want, and accept the will of God.
2) Ignore what you think, find out what God thinks (if you don't already know search the scriptures or seek His face for wisdom).
3) Ignore how you feel and do the right thing regardless of how you feel.

If you practice these three steps in your life, you will walk with God in wisdom and power.

Remember folks, it is not about us....what we want, what we think, and what we feel....its about HIM.
