The Spiritual Mind Pt. 2: Putting On the New Man and Moving Beyond the Carnal

Core Message

Renewing your mind is not passive but an active choice to put on the spirit man already within you by rejecting blind faith, understanding the distinction between soul and spirit, and accessing spiritual knowledge and dominion through submission to God.

Key Scripture

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; — Ephesians 4:23 (KJV)

3 Key Takeaways

1. Faith is not blind and God is not offended by questions—approaching God without understanding produces unbelief and misery, while going to Him with specific expectation produces confidence and joy.
2. The new man is already within you as your born-again spirit and must be actively put on through daily choice, prayer, and spiritual discipline rather than waiting for passive transformation.
3. Your spirit knows what your soul cannot access on its own, and spiritual maturity means learning to perceive God's ways beyond the moral categories of men.

Prayer Focus

Pray for grace to daily break the flesh, put on the spirit man, receive the mind of the Spirit, and walk in the dominion and knowledge that only spiritual perception can provide.
