Filled With Knowledge


Two Kinds of Knowledge

Revelation Knowledge

Spiritual Mind (knowledge received by the Spirit of God)

Sense Knowledge

Carnal Mind (knowledge received through the five senses)


What is The Carnal Mind?


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


How Does The Carnal Mind Operate?

James 1:5-8 (Amplified) Double mindedness always has 2 confessions:

  • I will believe God and do what the Word says
  • Only after my senses have been gratified or satisfied!

The carnal mind is companion to the recreated human spirit, but there is no fellowship between the two because: the carnal mind has not been renewed by the word.


Wisdom: 1 Corinthians 1:30

Example of double mindedness 1 Kings 18:21

  • Galatians 5:16

FLESH should be sense, or: here human nature, the earthly nature of man apart from divine influence, and therefore prone to sin and opposed to God?

  • 1 Corinthians 5:5

The Carnal Mind

1.  Prays for faith, but never arrives.

2.  Talks unbelief. . .struggles for faith.

3.  Confesses failure and faith at the same time.

Our Daily War is With The Carnal Mind:

The sense ruled mind.

The mind educated and trained by the five physical senses!

The carnal mind says, “I want what I see.”  So I can taste it. . .smell it . . .feel it.

  • Ephesians 2:3
  • Romans 8:6-7
  • Titus 1:15
  • James 3:13-15
  • Ephesians 4:20-23
  • Romans 12:1-2  (Text)

Our minds are not renewed by studying the Word!  We must also act on the Word!


Paul Appeals For Our Bodies!

Our bodies are doomed to die!

Why does God show so much interest in our bodies? Because…

Our mind and our spirit are both greatly influenced by the habits and patterns of our physical bodies!


Jewish Sacrifices Were Dead!

Paul asks that ours be a living sacrifice.

Romans 6:12-14 Mortal =Death Doomed!

The body is not wrong of itself!

There is no evil in your flesh!

You submit to practices that are wrong!

  • John 1:1-3  Sense knowledge
  • Romans 8:1-9
  • Romans 7:5-9, 14-23
  • John 13:34-35
  • 1 John 4:7-8
