Hello, Fire of God Church Family 🙂
**I summarized Bishop Kim’s sermon.**
Here are Three Categories:
Fleshly Christian, Soulish Christian, Spiritual Christian
Please read it carefully and seriously, and think deeply about it.
Please see which category you belong to.
When you see yourself from one of the categories, start working on yourself to fix and correct.
God OR anyone in your life or church is not the problem or blocking your spiritual and physical blessing.
You can be both fleshly and soulish, in this case, you should be really REALLY serious about it and change.
Fleshly Christians:
-They are Spiritual Infants.
-They are serving in the flesh.
-They are drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking, and committing all different types of sin with their flesh.
-They always fall into temptations, are defeated when tested, and fall when tribulation comes.
-They are anxious and nervous.
-Flesh centered.
-Their ego is their king.
Soulish Christians:
-They are beyond fleshly Christians and are tricky to discern.
-They live their faith life according to their hearts, emotions, thoughts, and feelings.
-They do not fully root themselves in the church.
-They act according to their emotions.
–If they think someone hurt them, they want to leave the church.
-They try to live spiritually, but they are moved by their hearts and according to their emotions and feelings.
-They depend on their mentality.
–If they face some discord and unpleasant events, they cannot endure them.
-They always feel sympathy for themselves.
-Driven by their reasons and their will.
-They expect to be complimented.
-Self-centered.
-Their ego is their king.
Spiritual Christians:
-They are controlled by the Holy Spirit.
-Cross centered
-Jesus is their King
Bishop said, When your flesh and soul surrenders, the Holy Spirit can lead you. Then, God can raise you and use you. This is why the Bible said, “Crucify yourself.”
1 Corinthians 3:1-4
Brothers and sisters, when I was with you I found it impossible to speak to you as those who are spiritually mature people, for you are still dominated by the mind-set of the flesh. And because you are immature infants in Christ,
I had to nurse you and feed you with “milk,” not with the solid food of more advanced teachings, because you weren’t ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready to be fed solid food,
for you are living your lives dominated by the mind-set of the flesh. Ask yourselves: Is there jealousy among you? Do you compare yourselves with others? Do you quarrel like children and end up taking sides? If so, this proves that you are living your lives centered on yourselves, dominated by the mind-set of the flesh, and behaving like unbelievers.
