The carnal mind

The carnal mind

“The carnal mind is enmity against God.” Romans 8:7

Suggested Further Reading: Romans 5:6-11

Let me suppose an impossible case for a moment. 

Let me imagine a man entering heaven without a change of heart. 

He comes within the gates.

 He hears a sonnet.

 He starts! It is to the praise of his enemy. 

He sees a throne, and on it sits one who is glorious; but it is his enemy.

 He walks streets of gold, but those streets belong to his enemy. 

He sees hosts of angels; but those are the servants of his enemy. 

He is in an enemy’s house; for he is at enmity with God. 

He could not join the song, for he would not know the tune.

 There he would stand; silent, motionless; till Christ should say, with a voice louder than ten thousand thunders, 

“What doest thou here? 

Enemies at a marriage banquet? 

Enemies in the children’s house? 

Enemies in heaven? 

Get thee gone! Depart ye cursed, into everlasting fire in hell!” 

Oh! sirs, if the unregenerate man could enter heaven, I mention once more the oft-repeated saying of Whitefield, he would be so unhappy in heaven, that he would ask God to let him run down into hell for shelter. 

There must be a change, if you consider the future state; for how can enemies to God ever sit down at the banquet of the Lamb? And to conclude, let me remind you—and it is in the text after all—that this change must be worked by a power beyond your own. 

An enemy may possibly make himself a friend, but enmity cannot.

 If it be but an adjunct of his nature to be an enemy he may change himself into a friend; but if it is the very essence of his existence to be enmity, positive enmity, enmity cannot change itself. 

No, there must be something done more than we can accomplish.

For meditation: 

The Lord Jesus Christ has done for us much more than he commanded his disciples to do for their enemies (Luke 6:27-28).

Victory in Reverses

Victory in Reverses

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. 

(Micah 7:8)

This may express the feelings of a man or woman downtrodden and oppressed. 

Our enemy may put out our light for a season. 

There is sure hope for us in the Lord; and if we are trusting in Him and holding fast our integrity, our season of downcasting and darkness will soon be over. 

The insults of the foe are only for a moment. 

The Lord will soon turn their laughter into lamentation and our sighing into singing.

What if the great enemy of souls should for a while triumph over us, as he has triumphed over better men than we are; yet let us take heart, for we shall overcome him before long. We shall rise from our fall, for our God has not fallen, and He will lift us up. 

We shall not abide in darkness, although for the moment we sit in it; for our Lord is the fountain of light, and He will soon bring us a joyful day. 

Let us not despair or even doubt.

 One turn of the wheel, and the lowest will be at the top. 

Woe unto those who laugh now, for they shall mourn and weep when their boasting is turned into everlasting contempt.

 But blessed are all holy mourners, for they shall be divinely comforted.

Listen for the Signal

Listen for the Signal

And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. (2 Samuel 5:24)

There are signs of the Lord's moving which should move us.

 The Spirit of God blows where He listeth, and we hear the sound thereof. 

Then is the time for us to be more than ever astir. 

We must seize the golden opportunity and make the most we can of it.

 It is ours to fight the Philistines at all times; but when the Lord Himself goes out before us, then we should be specially valiant in the war.

The breeze stirred the tops of the trees, and David and his men took this for the signal for an onslaught, and at their advance the Lord Himself smote the Philistines.

 Oh, that this day the Lord may give us an opening to speak for Him with many of our friends! Let us be on the watch to avail ourselves of the hopeful opening when it comes. 

Who knows but this may be a day of good tidings; a season of soul-winning. Let us keep our ear open to hear the rustle of the wind and our minds ready to obey the signal.

 Is not this promise, "Then shall the Lord go out before thee," a sufficient encouragement to play the man? Since the Lord goes before us, we dare not hold back.

Full redemption

Full redemption

“There shall not an hoof be left behind.” Exodus 10:26


Suggested Further Reading: Revelation 20:1-10

A man once wrote a book to prove the devil a fool. 
Certainly, when all matters shall come to their destined consummation, Satan will prove to have been a magnificent fool. 


Folly, magnified to the highest degree by subtlety, shall be developed in Satan. Ah! Thou trailing serpent, what hast thou now after all? I saw thee but a few thousand years ago, twining around the tree of life, and hissing out thy deceptive words. 


Ah! how glorious was the serpent then—a winged creature, with his azure scales. Yes, and thou didst triumph over God. 


I heard thee as thou didst go hissing down to thy den. I heard thee say to thy brood,—vipers in the nest as they are,—“My children, I have stained the Almighty’s works: I have turned aside his loyal subjects; I have injected my poison into the heart of Eve, and Adam hath fallen too; my children let us hold a jubilee, for I have defeated God.” 


Oh, my enemy; I think I see thee now, with thy head all broken, and thy jaw-teeth smashed, and thy venom-bags all emptied, and thou thyself a weary length of agony, rolling miles afloat along a sea of fire, tortured, destroyed, overcome, tormented, ashamed, hacked, hewed, dashed in pieces, and made a hissing, and a scorn for children to laugh at, and made a scoff throughout eternity.


 Ah! well, brethren, the great Goliath hath gained nothing by his boasting: Christ and his people have really lost nothing by Satan. 


All they lost once, has been re-taken. 
The victory has not simply been a capture of that which was lost, but a gaining of something more. We are in Christ more than we were before we fell. 


“Not a hoof shall be left behind.”


For meditation: 


Victory over Satan will be celebrated with joy (Revelation 12:10-12; Romans 16:20)
 but for the moment we must remain on our guard against him ( 1 Corinthians 7:5; 2 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 4:27; 6:11; 1 Timothy 3:6, 7; 1 Peter 5:8,9).

Messengers wanted

‘Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.’Isaiah 6:8

Suggested Further Reading: Romans 15:14–21

Ask any man whether he is a Christian against his will, and he will tell you certainly not, for he loves the Lord, and delights in his law after the inward man. Thy people are not led unwillingly to thee in chains, O Jesus, but ‘Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power.’ 

We willingly choose Christ, because he has from of old chosen us. In the matter of holy work, every man who becomes a worker for Jesus is so because he was chosen to work for him; but he would be a very poor worker if he himself had not chosen to work for Jesus. I can say that I believe God ordained me to preach the gospel, and that I preach it by his will, but I am sure I preach it with my own; for it is to me the most delightful work in all the world, and if I could exchange with an emperor, I would not consent to be so lowered. 

To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the sweetest and noblest employments, and even an angel might desire to be engaged in it. The true worker for God must be impelled by divine election, but yet he must make and will make, by divine grace, his own election of his work. Here are the persons wanted.

 Are there not many such persons here who feel ‘God has chosen me to do something for him; woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel’? but who, on the other hand, can testify, ‘I choose the work too.

For Christ’s sake, whether it be teaching in the Sunday school, or tract distributing, or talking to ones or twos, or whatever it may be, my God, I choose the vocation; help me to follow it heartily, for it is my delight to do thy will, O my God.’ Here is the divine side then, the man is chosen; but there is also the human side, the man is led to choose the engagement for himself.

For meditation: 

We tend to assume that God’s will must be diametrically opposed to our wills and that we can only do it grudgingly. But God can so transform our thinking that his will becomes ‘good, and acceptable, and perfect’ (Romans 12:2), our delight ( Psalm 40:8) and joy (Romans 15:32).

Follow Jesus, then expect this

The Spirit of God upon Jesus Christ was not recognised by the ungodly world to be indeed divine, but they perceived and were astonished at a something about him which they did not understand.

 He spake with authority and not as the scribes, and they confessed “Never man spake like this man.” They did not know what spirit he was of, but they knew they hated it, and straightway they began to oppose him. 

Now, brothers and sisters, if you have the same seal as your Lord...the same result will follow: men will wonder at you, misunderstand you, and oppose you.

 And what is the reason? Never in this world did the Spirit of promise appear without opposition from the spirit of bondage. Isaac was the child of promise, and did not Ishmael, who was born after the flesh, persecute him? The two seeds, of the flesh and of the promise, are at daggers drawing with each other. 

When the Lord sets his seal upon you by giving you the Spirit of promise, so that you are not under the law but under Christ, the world will know it; they will not admire you, but they will strive against you to destroy you. 

From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled 

"The Sealing Of The Spirit," 

delivered March 19, 1876.
