Dictionary describes carnality as the lowest form of human life, "pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the body, its passions and appetites; sensual". From Maslow's hierachy of needs, survival is at the lowest ground. Hence, to be carnally minded is to only think about yourself, your own survival, Self-centeredness. Dictionary describes spirituality as "Relating to or having the nature of spirits or a spirit". If you put this into Christian context, it means "having the nature of God." Or in other words, having the mind of Christ. Christ-centeredness.
The Bible says there is an invisible battle over each man's soul and also within their soul. This is the tug of war between being carnally minded and being spiritually minded.
But thank God! Thank GOD that, as believers, we have divine help from the Holy Spirit who "helps in our weaknesses... Himself makes intercession FOR US with groanings which cannot be uttered." Rom 8:26. Wow... Other religions say, "Help youself". But there is no one like our loving Father God who helps His people...
The Holy Spirit in you helps you to develop the nature of God... He helps you to develop the mind of Christ... 1 Cor 2:16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ."
No one know the deep things inside of you except your inner man (your spirit)... Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God... And the Spirit of God living inside you knows the mind of God... Rom 8:27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of GOD.
The Holy Spirit knows the will of God for you... He is always making intercession FOR US 24/7 that our destiny in God will be fulfilled... Our God is a good God so the plans He devises are always good.
"Father God, I thank You that You are such a loving Father who never slumbers until you see the destiny we have in You unfold before Your very eyes... I pray that we will come into the full knowledge of Your love. And perfect love cast out fear. So I speak against Fear, begone! In Jesus's Name Amen!"
