THE CARNAL MIND
    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, nor indeed can be.
    So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please
    God.
    ROMANS 8:6-8

    He who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap cor-
    ruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the
    Spirit reap everlasting life.
    GALATIANS 6:8

    Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that
    friendship with the world is enmity with God?
    Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world
    makes himself an enemy of God.
    JAMES 4:4

    There is a way that seems right to a man,
    But its end is the way of death.
    PROVERBS 14:12

    Many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now
    tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of
    the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose
    god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame -
    who set their mind on earthly things.
    PHILIPPIANS 4:18, 19

    No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the
    affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted
    him as a soldier.
    Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness,
    faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out
    of a pure heart.
    2 TIMOTHY 2:4, 22

    Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.
    PHILIPPIANS 2:5

    Set your mind on things above, not on things on the
    earth.
    COLOSSIANS 3:2

    Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain
    from fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
    1 PETER 2:11

    I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
    God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
    holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable
    service.
    And do not be conformed to this world, but be
    transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you
    may prove what is that good and acceptable and per-
    fect will of God.
    ROMANS 12:1, 2

    Do not love the world or the things in the world. If
    anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not
    in him.
    For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh,
    the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the
    Father but is of the world.
    And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;
    but he who does the will of God abides forever.
    1 JOHN 2:15-17

    Both small and great.
    PSALM 115:12, 13

    No good thing will He withhold
    From those who walk uprightly.
    PSALM 84:11

    And the desire of the righteous will be granted.

    that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in
    time of trouble.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

    Do you not know that your body is the temple of the
    Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God,
    and you are not your own?
    1 CORINTHIANS 6:19

    God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy
    Spirit who was given to us.

    �He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out
    of his heart will flow rivers of living water.�

    those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy
    Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet
    glorified.

    Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!

    manded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to
    wait for the Promise of the Father, �which,� He said,
    �you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized
    with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy
    Spirit not many days from now.
    �But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit
    has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me
    in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the
    end of the earth.�
    ACTS 1:4, 5, 8

    Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advan-
    tage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Com-
    forter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him
    to you.
    However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come,
    He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak
    on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will
    speak; and He will tell you things to come.

    Your young men shall see visions.
    JOEL 2:2

    I will pray the Father, and He will give you another
    Comforter, that He may abide with you forever - the

    know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
    JOHN 14:16, 17
