Let God Speak to you as Spiritual

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon.

But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. if any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. - 1 Corinthians 3: 4-17

Today, as you wake before the Lord ask yourself if you are carnal or spiritual. Are you drawn to the things that the Lord is drawing you too. The Spirit of God that is within you desires to lead and direct you. As you are planting in the vineyard of the Lord know that you are of the husbrandy of God. Stay connected to the vine. Know that God gives the increase. How awesome to labor together with God. Make sure today that the foundation you are building upon is Jesus Christ and not mans deception. For their is a form of Godliness in the world today that denys the power at work in the believer. There soon will be a day that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Blessings,
