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.

Our bodies are doomed to die.
Why does God show so much interest in our bodies?

Our mind and our spirit are both greatly influenced by the habits and patterns

There is no evil in your flesh!
You submit to practices that are wrong!
