The Carnal mind is against God

Romans 8:7-8 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

           The Carnal mind is against God

The carnal mind represents the thinking capacity of those who have not received The Holy Spirit of God.  The Word of God teaches us that the carnal mind is hostile concerning God.  Enmity refers to a deepseeted hostility or even hatred directed towards someone.  It is sad that without the Holy Spirit of God in our lives we are  against God, and  we cannot obey The Spirit of Christ with wordly mindedness.   The carnal minded person is worldly minded and has no thriving zeal to glorify God.  

Without the Spirit we cannot please God, and we will continue seeking to glorify ourselves, rather than seeking to please God and  submit to his word, will and god inspired visions.  Without the Holy Spirit of God we will think that we are glorifying God when in reality we become puffed up and seek to bring glory to Self who is on the throne of our lives, and Christ on the outside, knocking at the door of your heart.

 You must allow the Word of God to break your spirit and LET CHRIST IN!  That carnal mind can be a member of a church, can sing in the choir,  can usher and even preach a sermon, but until the Spirit of Christ COMES IN – all that we do will be counted as DUNG in the end.
