Man was created to be the fullest direct
expression of God’s glory upon the earth; he was supposed to be God’s direct
authority on the earth. When in perfect union and fellowship with the Lord, man
was able to represent the Lord in all fullness, but when man fell, his
attention drifted from God to the flesh or world consciousness which is where
the devil operates from, he drifted from paying attention
to the spirit and the spiritual to the flesh. Many of us pay attention to the
flesh, much to our own detriment.
At the fall in the garden of Eden, man’s primary focus became his
flesh, he needed to make a cover for it, there were so many things about him
that needed to be concealed away from others, he was even trying to hide things
from God, his spiritual understanding failed him at this moment because his
spirit was not alive anymore to God; he had become carnally minded, always
centered towards the flesh. Man failed to comprehend the truth that God knows
and sees all secrets (His nakedness).
Under self-consciousness, man sees the self, he does things according to flesh and self-perception, understanding and judgment are based on the senses(what and how he sees, hears, can touch, or is touched by, what he could smell and taste) only. His satisfaction is for and from the flesh (sensual excitation).
In this state, man gives in to all the desires of
the flesh, he consults the flesh only before making decisions. Life’s
complexities resulted and still result from that consciousness, the self does
not care for others, it cares only for itself which is totally against the
will of the Lord. It cannot love, God is love, love is God’s nature, not the flesh’s.
That is why men are greedy, adulterous, selfish, self-effacing, all due to the
complexities that arise from flesh dependence.
Are you self-conscious? are you carnal? Come to Jesus today, yield to the Holy Spirit today!
