CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE SPIRITUAL

NOVEMBER 2, 2025

For to be carnally minded is death; but

to be spiritually minded is life and peace

(Romans 8:6).

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.
