A "carnal" Christian is sometimes called a "fleshly" believer, as they do not submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit, but rather seeks to live their Christian life in their own strength rather that in the strength of Christ. They live life under the power of the old sin nature rather than the new, born-again life in Christ. The Christians at Corinth may have exercised spiritual gifts, but they did not exercise spiritual fruit. They were lacking in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, and as a result we discover them to be the most carnal believers to whom Paul wrote; and carnality results in a stunted Christian life. Let us remember that Every Christian Has The Holy Spirit Dwelling Within and when we live in carnality, we grieve Him or quench His life in us. May we seek to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us seek to mature as believers by faith with thanksgiving, knowing that of ourselves we can do nothing that will please God, but in Christ: "We can do all things in His strength," as we abide in Him. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? Our United Prayer:
Lord Jesus, we Pray that we may abide in You and grow in grace so that, day by day, we may be conformed into Your image. We ask this in Your name, AMEN.

Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
