The Separation
It is written the natural man (worldly) does not accept nor understands what is spiritual, for their mind is set on this world and all it offers. To speak Gods word is considered foolishness to them. (1 Corinthians 2:12-16) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the 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. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ….. (Proverbs 20:27).
Life and death are all in the way we live our life, and to continue in the way of what the flesh (carnal) offers takes us away from all Christ died to give us including eternal life! (Romans 8:5-10). For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness…. (1 John 2:15-17).
The longer one is a Christian the more it becomes clear the power the flesh had over them, and the gained strength the Spirit of truth keeps us in remembrance of the written word and shows us spiritual things the world cannot. (John 16:13-15). Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Thetraveller…….…. So true your comment for there are many who attend a church for many years yet have not been taught properly the born again experience. Anyone can say they are a Christian,but in the end will see their fruit was worldly andxnot heavenly as you say we need to keep our minds on what Jesus taught and not seek the things of the world, but only of HIS kingdom which one day will be all that dwells in the earth. God Bless and keep you for the love you show towards His name.

A man named Nicodemus came to Jesus one day and asked him a question. Jesus answered: John 3:3-6 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born? Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Many who call Jesus Lord have heard and read this word and have not searched out the deeper meaning to them. Religion keeps far from them or adds their own interpretation to what Jesus meant thereby causing division amongst the brethren.
They may be saved but they will not enter into the kingdom of heaven here on earth for his kingdom and words are spiritually discerned.
A person who is continually filled with the spirit of God will be as these words that Jesus went onto speak to Nicodemus..
John 3:7-8 Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that *ye* should be born anew. The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Those that are born of the spirit will be like the wind, no one knows where they come from or where they go to and the hand of the Lord will be with them until the end of the ages.
There are many carnal Christians who are unable to discern the things of the kingdom of heaven on earth because they have not been born anew.
