14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

1. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?



Spirituality is not a mental state.  It is not something you necessarily achieve when you become a Christian.  Spirituality is a true spiritual state.  It is achieved when you are filled with the presence of The Holy Spirit and can physically feel his presence. Many Christians think that because they pray often that they are spiritual.  It is true that they become spiritual when they pray.  But, when the praying ends, most of them return to their normal carnal state.  Most Christians think that because they are serving The Kingdom in one way or another, they are spiritual.  That is not spiritual.  That is labors of the hand.  Many have grown theologically mature and think that all of that knowledge makes them spiritual.  That is not spiritual.  Knowledge is only the accumulation of information and has nothing with spirituality.

True spirituality is a way of life where the believer is in constant contact with God through The Holy Spirit.  You cannot be in contact with God if you are not thinking about Him.  A spiritual believer has made God the center of his life at ALL times.  When is at home, he’s thinking about God.  When he’s at work, he’s thinking about God.  When he’s at school, he’s thinking about God.  When he’s in the deepest part of his trial, he’s thinking about and praising God.  He is thinking about God every hour of every day and only thinks about something else when he is distracted from his true purpose.  Spiritual believers cannot get enough of God and cannot bless and love him enough.  When they arise in the morning coffee may be their first thing, but their second thing is asking the question; what can I do for God today?  Spiritual Christians have made loving and blessing God their true purpose in life, knowing that if they do that, God will take care of everything else.

So, how does one know if he or she is spiritual?  Through physical evidence.  A spiritual believer can physically feel the presence of The Holy Spirit.  When you are worshiping the Lord, praising him verbally, you can feel what almost feel like a static charge around you.  You can feel your skin tingle, your muscles twitch and your body shake. You will also feel it when you are singing beautiful worship songs.  Doing a kind deed for another person will bring a sensation.  Anytime you please God, you will FEEL The Spirit.

If you have never felt one those sensations, that means that your spiritual growth has stopped or never started.  God wants everyone to be spiritual because that is the only way to truly know him.  The problem is that most Christian churches are not spiritual and do not promote spiritual growth. 

Please, if you have not already done so, start your spiritual growth today.  Start by telling God that you Love Him every time you think about Him.
