The mind and the spirit are the invisible parts of man. Most of the time it might be difficult to ascertain which is communicating per time
The Mind tends to have more effect on the spirit especially when you are a new born in Christ or immature Christian.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace” (Rom. 8:6).
Carnal mindedness doesn’t necessarily mean “sinful” mindedness. Like we have said in our previous lessons, the carnality of your mind that depends on your 5 sense organs, makes it difficult for your spirit-man to tame the corrupted mind. Your thoughts center primarily on the physical realm which add weights on your spirit-man.
carnal mindedness shuts it off. Simply stated,
carnal mindedness = death, and
spiritual mindedness = life and peace (Rom. 8:6).
“Death” means “anything that’s a result of sin.” This is not limited only to the ultimate physical death of your body but includes all of death’s progressive
effects as well (i.e., sadness, loneliness, bitterness, illness, anger, poverty, etc.) Which is as a result of Spiritual deadness.
In this world, being dominated by your mind produces
death.
So the soul a way of ruling the spirit if a Christian is not well grounded in the Word of God. The mind is so corrupted and can easily be derailed, if the mind is not renewed it began to have effect on the spirit man’s growth or several times you hear the mind speaks to you thinking it is your spirit man. This situation makes it difficult for the Holy Spirit to actually penetrate into you as a Christian.
You experience weight on your spirits overtime because your spirit is being ruled by your mind .
