Amen.

Your consciousness must move from the earthly awareness into heavenly awareness. Consciousness just means awareness. This is another spooky word for the church. If you say consciousness, they now think about no the Bible speaks about consciousness to be conscious of certain things. To be conscious means to be fully aware.

How many of you pray and if somebody makes noise you stop praying?

If a car is passing and the lights flash, you open your eyes, you are afraid. Then you are not really concentrated. You couldn't really, you did not detach.

You're helping.

Amen.

The point of prayer is not taking yourself away from people because you are supposed to minister in the midst of people. So if you don't know how to connect with God when everybody is pulling from you good

this is so good

when I go and preach places prophet this prophet that prophet lovia I came from this prophet lovia I came from that man of God help me this and this. And you have to be able to attend to as many as you can. You can't attend to all of them, but you have to attend to as many as you can.

How will you connect to the spirit of God if you don't know how to detach?

The physical body is weak.

A cannot mind is anity with God. Meaning that a a mind that is earthly cannot pull from God. It cannot even serve God. So why do you want to serve God from a place of disadvantage?

What is the benefit of talking to God from a place where he doesn't like to visit? Amen.

Because if he speaks to the flesh, the flesh won't obey him.

The spirit lust after the flesh and the flesh after the spirit. These two are clashing. So why God why would God go to the enemy?

So we are busy trying to spiritualize something that cannot become spiritual.

1 Corinthians chapter 2 uh Moses go to um spiritual things can be received by the spiritual. A can of man cannot uh h cannot receive things of the spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned, nor can they know them. It It's crazy. Look at this. But a 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. Notice two problems here.

A natural man cannot receive the things of the spirit. Notice they have no capacity. It is meat. They can't digest it. They can't eat it.

Bring back my scriptures. Look at this. For they are what? Foolishness unto him. First of all, they look stupid. He can't receive them. And they look stupid. Meaning they cannot see beyond what is in their face.

Amen.

Neither can he know them. Meaning that they have no ability to have a experience with it.

Right.

Why? Because they are spiritually discerned. Notice. So what does discernment include? It includes receiving. It includes recognizing. Meaning you will see it and you will not think it's foolish. And number three, it makes you experience it.

That's what discernment is.

The natural man receiveth not the spirit, the things of the spirit of God. Meaning for you to receive, you need what? Discernment. Wow.

For they are foolishness unto him. Somebody who has discernment can tell when Jesus gives you grape juice and said this is my blood. You will not look at it and say this is foolish. Why am I drinking grape juice?

If you are spiritually discerning, you look and say this is indeed the blood.

So it will not be foolish unto you. You need discernment to be able to what? Recognize what is of God. Amen.

Number three,

discernment makes you experience things. The word knowing means to experience. It doesn't mean knowledge because the traditional way of knowledge was actually by experience.

Verse 15, look at this. It gets worse.

But he that that is spiritual judges all things yet him himself is not judged by no man. So every opinion about me you can't judge me because you're a baby.

You didn't get you can't judge me. That is why their opinions doesn't stop what I'm doing. It can't. How will it stop it? You a child a baby fighting a father.

It can't work.

Keep going. I want the part where I say spiritual things are discerned by the spiritual. Comparing spiritual realities. Can you find that for me? It's in the same place.

which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teaches. Notice there's even words of the spirit.

You see, stop right there. Keep the scripture up there. You remember when I said God is lusting after you?
