Sunday 2nd November, Today's Article: Consciousness Of The Supernatural

In our soul-winning efforts, a vital requirement is the strengthening and development of your human spirit, the inward man. That’s the real “you” that was born again. When we speak of salvation in Christ, we’re referring to the salvation of the spirit. And for that salvation to express itself, you must become conscious of spiritual things.

Spiritual consciousness is essential for spiritual growth. When you’re spiritually minded, you interpret life from the perspective of the Word. You understand that you’re not of this world. You’re a spirit being, called by God to function from the spirit-realm. Everything about the Christian life starts from this awareness.

Take soul-winning, for example; the expression itself, “soul winning”, is spiritually precise. It doesn’t say “people winning”; you’re reaching for the inner man of that person—the soul, the spirit. That means you must be conscious that those you’re ministering to are spirit beings too. This consciousness shapes how you see others and how you handle life’s issues; you evaluate everything from the spiritual.

This was what made the ministry of the Lord Jesus so different from the religious leaders of His day. He brought a spiritual ministry. And thanks be unto God; we’re born of the Spirit and called to live in the Spirit. As a soul winner, this is your arena. No book in the world reveals the realities and life of the human spirit like the Bible. So study the Scriptures voraciously; the Word is your guide to living victoriously every day in every situation.

                 PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for enlightening my spirit through your Word. I function from the inward man and interpret life through the Spirit. I walk in the consciousness of who I am in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
