The Carnal Mind
The true spiritually minded believer is a very rare thing in our world today. Many believers profess to be spiritual, yet their actions express differently. One of the primary reasons why we have so many divisions in Christianity over doctrines is because of the carnal mind. The truth of God is only perceived and understood when the Holy Spirit imparts to a person's eyes to see and communicates to them the revelation of the truth. Apart from the revelations from the Holy Spirit, the believer would continue in the carnal mind. The revelation of truth dispels the carnal mind and brings enlightenment to the believer where their mind is renewed.

If we continue in this we will walk in death because to be carnally minded is death. For the wages of sin is death, and if we walk after the flesh it produces death, not only the eventual cessation of life from the body but the bringing in of sickness and disease. The carnal mind is in rebellion to God and His ways, and if we continue on this path it ultimately brings in physical death, but before the physical death occurs, what is experienced is the roots of physical death, sickness, and disease.
Romans 8:5-7 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

The Lord Jesus demonstrated the life of God while He walked on earth, and this life is now available to the one who believes in Him by faith. In order to walk in the power of this indestructible life, we must have our minds renewed, and washed by the word of God. This new life in Christ cannot be ours as long as we remain carnally minded because the carnal mind is full of doubt and does not trust God. If we desire to enter into the fullness of God in Christ and enter into the blessedness of the life that the Heavenly Father and our blessed Lord Jesus enjoys, then we must be spiritually minded. This is completely the work of the Holy Spirit to transform, renew, and to wash our minds, enabling us to be spiritually minded, and to be full of faith, which opens up to us all the fullness of God demonstrated by the Lord Jesus Christ and the life He lived.
Ephesians 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without
