Knocked Down But Not Knocked Out

THIS DAY, I WILL ARISE

Your adversary does not want to see you rise after a setback. He intends to keep you discouraged, questioning your purpose, and expecting another disappointment. When you return to prayer, apply God’s Word, and resume your responsibilities, you refuse to allow yesterday’s defeat to govern today’s decisions.

Yes, you have experienced a setback. Perhaps you invested time, effort, and resources into something which failed. Perhaps you prayed for a particular outcome, yet your circumstances moved in the opposite direction. The disappointment deserves acknowledgment, but you must examine what you have allowed disappointment to produce in your thinking. Have you stopped trying? Have you abandoned your responsibilities? Have you begun speaking about your future as though nothing will ever improve?

You must stop depending entirely on your own strength. Your determination has limits, and exhaustion will affect your judgment. God has never instructed you to face every challenge without His help. Bring your weakness before Him and begin reminding yourself of His Word.

First John 4:4 declares, “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Psalm 46:1 reminds us, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

These Scriptures deserve more than an occasional quotation when you feel overwhelmed. Consider what they teach. Your circumstances do not remove God’s presence. Your weakness does not exhaust His strength. Trouble does not prevent you from seeking His help.

When Paul wrote about doing all things through Christ, he described learning to endure both provision and lack. His confidence rested in Christ’s strength throughout changing circumstances. You need this same confidence when progress is slow, resources are limited, and your emotions urge you to abandon your efforts.

Why have you accepted defeat as your permanent condition when God’s Word gives you reasons to continue? Discouragement becomes especially harmful when you allow a temporary experience to shape every expectation. One failed attempt does not prove every future effort will fail. A delay does not excuse neglecting what you already know to do.

Examine your response to the setback. Learn where you need correction, seek counsel where you lack understanding, and take responsibility for the decisions within your control. Depending on God includes obeying His instructions. Prayer does not remove your responsibility to act.

This time, approach your challenges with the Word of God directing your response. Ephesians 6:17 identifies the Word of God as the Spirit's sword. Read the Scriptures, consider their meaning, and apply them to your conduct. When fear urges you to withdraw, ask what obedience requires. When anger urges you to respond recklessly, practice restraint. When discouragement tells you to neglect your responsibilities, complete the next necessary task.

Give attention to your words as well. If you repeatedly declare that nothing will improve, you reinforce the thinking that discourages further effort. Speak honestly about your circumstances while remembering what God has promised. You do not need to deny a problem to express faith. You need to stop treating the problem as more authoritative than God’s instructions.

Your words are not a way to control every outcome. They should express your trust in God and your agreement with His truth. Instead of declaring your situation hopeless, acknowledge your need for wisdom and commit to seeking His guidance. Instead of calling yourself a failure, identify what needs to change and begin making the correction.

Consider Job. After receiving devastating news, he grieved and worshiped God, as Job 1:20 records. His worship did not mean the losses were painless. Throughout his suffering, he expressed sorrow and asked difficult questions. Yet his distress did not erase his relationship with God.

You also have permission to grieve without abandoning your faith. Bring your disappointment before the Lord. Speak honestly in prayer, receive correction where necessary, and continue doing what is right while you await answers.

Let us pray.

Father, in the name of your Son Jesus Christ, restore my mind and help me focus on your Word as I face today’s obstacles. Forgive me for the times I have allowed disappointment to govern my decisions. Strengthen me where I am weary, correct me where I am wrong, and give me wisdom where I lack understanding.

Help me see beyond my temporary circumstances without neglecting my present responsibilities. Show me what requires patience and what requires immediate action. Where fear has delayed my obedience, give me courage to proceed. Where my decisions have contributed to my difficulties, help me accept responsibility and make the necessary changes.

Lord, guide my tongue. Teach me to express my pain without continually rehearsing hopelessness. Replace careless complaints with honest prayer, gratitude, and words grounded in Scripture. Help me speak in agreement with your promises while submitting my desires to your will.

Give me the resolve to worship you during hardship, as your servant Job did. When events move in the opposite direction of my desires, keep me faithful. Help me bring my questions to you without withdrawing from prayer or abandoning obedience.

Expose the habits which keep me from completing my responsibilities. Help me distinguish genuine exhaustion from avoiding necessary work. Give me wisdom to rest when needed and discipline to act when required. Teach me to use my time responsibly and finish the work before me.

THIS DAY, I WILL ARISE.

I will return to the responsibilities I have neglected and take the next step in obedience. I will confront procrastination, reject laziness, and challenge negative thinking with the truth of God’s Word. I will receive correction, seek wisdom, and keep trying even when progress requires patience.

I will pursue these changes through the grace, mercy, favor, strength, and Spirit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My confidence rests in His help as I put His Word into practice.

Amen!

Prayer Against All Spiritual Opposition

  

A Daily Prayer for Discernment, Protection, Deliverance, and Favor

Prayer for Spiritual Discernment

Father, please strengthen my ability to discern today. Allow me to see beyond the limitations of my five physical senses. Reveal to me every trap, lie, deception, conspiracy, hidden agenda, or anything else Satan and his agents may have plotted against me.

Father, I pray that the Spirit of Truth, Your Holy Spirit, will guide me into all truth, today and in the days to come (John 16:13). Give me spiritual sensitivity to recognize what is from You and what is not from You. Expose anything hidden that could negatively affect my life, my family, or the destiny You have ordained for us.

Prayer of Repentance and Cleansing

Holy Spirit, convict me of anything evil, sinful, or displeasing to God that may be lying dormant within my heart. Search me, O God, and reveal anything within me that needs correction.

Lord, I sincerely repent for every occasion when I have violated Your laws, rules, commands, or principles. I confess my sins and ask You to forgive and cleanse me so that there will be no spiritual barrier between You and me.

Your Word declares:

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”

Proverbs 28:13

Father, I desire Your definition of success and prosperity for myself and my family, knowing that true success comes through walking according to Your Word and obeying Your principles.

Putting on the Armor of God

Father, I now spiritually clothe myself and my family with the whole armor of God, so that we may be able to stand against the schemes, strategies, and deceitful tactics of the enemy.

Your Word commands us:

“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” 

Ephesians 6:11

I cover myself and my family with the truth of Your Word. I put on the breastplate of righteousness, the preparation of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and I take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Prayer for Angelic Protection

Father, I pray that Your angels will surround my family and me and deliver us according to Your promise:

“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.”

Psalm 34:7

Let Your divine protection surround our homes, vehicles, workplaces, journeys, plans, and everything concerning us.

Protect us from dangers we can see and those we cannot.

Declarations Against Evil Plans

In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that every evil plan assigned against my family and me shall fail.

I pray that every impending report of evil designed by the enemy to bring destruction into our lives will be interrupted and overturned by the power of God.

I renounce and reject every ungodly covenant, agreement, transaction, or spiritual exchange that may have been presented or established through dreams. Let every covenant that is contrary to the will of God for my life be broken and rendered powerless in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

I also reject every corrupt, destructive, or ungodly word spoken from my own mouth or from the mouths of others against me and my family.

According to Isaiah 54:17:

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.”

Therefore, I condemn every word, declaration, accusation, curse, and evil pronouncement that stands contrary to what God has spoken concerning my life.

Declarations of Life, Health, and Provision

I declare that life, health, strength, and divine preservation shall be the portion of my family and me today.

I decree that no good thing ordained by God shall be withheld from us, according to Psalm 84:11:

“No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.”

Father, I align myself with Your Word in Psalm 138:8:

“The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me.”

Therefore, I declare that You are perfecting everything that concerns my life, my family, my health, my ministry, my finances, my relationships, and my God-ordained destiny.

 Father, I pray that sickness and disease will not prevail against my family or me. Strengthen our bodies and preserve our health in the name of Jesus Christ.

I speak against every spirit of jealousy, hatred, deceit, anger, unforgiveness, manipulation, pride, and every other evil influence attempting to motivate people to work against my family or me.

Father, confuse and dismantle every ungodly strategy operating through such influences. Let every evil plan be frustrated and disgraced by the power of the living God, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Restoration of Missed Opportunities

Father, I declare restoration over every legitimate opportunity that was missed, delayed, obstructed, manipulated, or somehow removed from my reach.

Where the enemy has interfered with something You intended for me, I ask You to restore it according to Your perfect will.

Let opportunities that belong to my God-ordained destiny find their way back into my life. Open doors that no man can shut, and close every door that was never ordained by You.

Breaking Rejection, Failure, and Delay

Father, where rejection has influenced people who were positioned to help, favor, support, or bless me, I ask You to remove every ungodly influence responsible for that rejection.

Let every plan of darkness designed to produce unnecessary rejection be destroyed in the name of Jesus Christ.

Lord, Your Word declares that my strength comes from You. Therefore, by Your Spirit, I ask You to deliver me and everything concerning me from the tormenting influences of:

* Failure

* Defeat

* Procrastination

* Weariness

* Unnecessary delays

* Setbacks

* Discouragement

* Distraction

* Confusion

* Every other opposition attempting to challenge my God-intended destiny

Father, strengthen me to accomplish everything You have assigned me to accomplish.

As Your Word declares:

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Zechariah 4:6

I therefore depend upon Your Spirit and not merely upon my own strength.

Covenant of Peace

Finally, Heavenly Father, today I choose to walk in agreement with Your peace.

I embrace Your Word:

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”

Psalm 119:165

Father, bind my heart, mind, emotions, and faith to Your Word.

Your Word also declares:

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”

Isaiah 26:3

Therefore, I choose to keep my mind steadfast upon You.

I receive Your supernatural peace, the peace that circumstances cannot manufacture and the enemy cannot take away.

According to Philippians 4:7:

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Let Your peace guard my heart and mind throughout this day.

Declaration of Blessing and Favor

Father, Your Word declares:

“For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”

Psalm 5:12

Therefore, I receive Your blessings and embrace Your favor.

Let Your favor surround my family and me like a shield.

Go before us today. Direct our steps. Order our conversations. Govern our decisions. Connect us with the right people and separate us from every relationship, environment, opportunity, or situation that is contrary to Your will.

Give us wisdom where wisdom is needed, discernment where discernment is required, courage where courage is necessary, and peace in every circumstance.

Father, I commit this day, my family, my future, and everything concerning me into Your hands.

I declare that Your will shall prevail, Your purpose shall stand, and Your Word shall have the final authority over my life.

I receive these things by faith, in the matchless name of Your Son and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

The Spirit of Confusion Must Go In Jesus Name!

A MORNING PRAYER AGAINST CONFUSION

Heavenly Father, I come to you this morning in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, on behalf of every person struggling with confusion. Some have faced this difficulty for a while. They feel overwhelmed by decisions, troubled by conflicting advice, and uncertain about their next step. Father, meet them in their distress and help them bring their concerns before you.

Your Word declares in 1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.” Lord, as Paul instructed the church concerning order and peace, help us honor these same qualities in our thoughts, conversations, relationships, and decisions. Where disorder has disrupted our lives, give us wisdom to recognize its causes and respond according to your Word.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I stand against every spiritual influence seeking to promote confusion, deception, and division. Father, expose every lie opposing your truth. Strengthen those who feel worn down, and help them resist whatever draws their attention away from your instructions.

Lord, James 3:16 teaches us, “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” Search our hearts this morning. Where envy, selfish ambition, resentment, or strife has taken root, bring us to repentance. Help us recognize when our attitudes contribute to the disorder we ask you to remove.

Father, forgive us for comparing our lives with others, entertaining jealousy, and continuing arguments which produce division. Give us the humility to receive correction and the discipline to change our conduct. We surrender these attitudes to you and ask you to remove their influence from our decisions.

Your Word describes the wisdom from above as pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, and full of mercy and good fruits in James 3:17. Let this wisdom govern our responses. Teach us to listen carefully, speak truthfully, and pursue peace without compromising what is right.

Father, I ask for your protection over every reader and everyone joining this prayer. Through the blood of Jesus Christ, we approach you with confidence in His finished work. Help us put on the whole armor of God described in Ephesians 6:10–18. Establish us in truth, righteousness, faith, and the assurance of salvation. Prepare us to pursue peace and remain faithful in prayer.

For the person who does not know where to go, whom to speak with, or what to do next, provide direction. Help them identify the decision immediately before them without becoming overwhelmed by every possible outcome. Lead them toward trustworthy counsel and give them patience to examine advice before acting.

Lord, where deception has influenced their thinking, establish truth. Where fear has delayed necessary action, give courage. Where exhaustion has affected their concentration, provide rest and support. Help them recognize what needs prayer, what needs correction, and what needs practical attention.

We resist the spirit of confusion in the name of Jesus Christ. Every influence seeking to draw us into deception, envy, strife, or disobedience must give way to the authority of our Lord. Father, keep us grounded in your Word as we submit ourselves to you and resist the devil, according to James 4:7.

Fill our minds with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Renew our hope and restore our willingness to fulfill our responsibilities. Holy Spirit, guide us into truth and help us recognize thoughts and advice that conflict with Scripture.

Your Word invites us to ask for wisdom in James 1:5. We ask this morning with humility. We do not know everything, and our understanding is limited. Teach us what we need to know and help us apply the instruction we already have.

Father, guard our minds from continual worry. Philippians 4:6–7 directs us to bring our requests before you with thanksgiving and speaks of your peace guarding our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Help us practice this instruction. As concerns arise, teach us to pray about them, give thanks for your faithfulness, and attend to the responsibilities within our reach.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.

My friends, confusion deserves a careful response. When your thoughts feel unsettled, you might feel pressure to decide immediately just to escape the discomfort. Slow down long enough to examine what you are facing. Ask yourself what you know, what you still need to understand, and whether fear or conflicting advice is influencing your judgment.

Scripture identifies envy and strife as sources of disorder, but this does not mean every experience of uncertainty proves the presence of an oppressive spirit. Fatigue, grief, stress, and incomplete information also affect concentration and decision-making. Examine your circumstances honestly while continuing to seek God.

God has given us His Word to instruct, correct, and strengthen us. Ephesians 6:17 describes the Word of God as the Spirit's sword. Use Scripture with understanding. Read the passage, consider its meaning, and allow its truth to govern your response.

If envy has disturbed your peace, repent and stop feeding comparison. If strife has consumed your attention, examine your part in the conflict and pursue a truthful, peaceful response. If you lack information, ask questions. If you are exhausted, attend to your need for rest. Spiritual discipline includes responding wisely to the circumstances before you.

When uncertainty returns, bring your thoughts back to what Scripture teaches. Pray, “Father, you invite me to ask for wisdom. Help me understand this situation and respond in obedience to you.” Then take the next responsible step. You do not need every answer before obeying an instruction you already understand.

Agreeing with God’s Word involves both your confession and your conduct. Let your prayers lead you toward repentance, sound judgment, and faithful action. Continue seeking the Lord, receive wise counsel, and give yourself time to understand what requires careful consideration.

IF THIS PRAYER SPEAKS TO YOUR SITUATION, JOIN ME IN SEEKING GOD’S WISDOM THIS MORNING.

Father, establish your truth in our minds and your peace in our hearts. Help us reject deception, turn away from strife, and follow your instructions. Direct our decisions as we place our trust in you, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

We Must Recalibrate Our Spiritual lens Of Revelation

Revelation involves revealing, exposing, or uncovering something that is already present! For instance, if you misplace your keys at home and later find them in your bedroom, they didn't suddenly materialize; instead, you revealed them during your thorough search.

 

The scripture says, "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law" (Deut. 29:29). Based on this scripture, some secrets or mysteries are reserved solely for God, such as the origins of God, etc.

 

Nevertheless, this scripture also indicates that God has reserved certain revelations for us and our children. This is where the passage becomes particularly interesting. The scripture clearly states that the purpose of these revelations is to empower us to FULFILL ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LAW!

 

No matter your current circumstances, you might feel stagnant and lack progress. Consider seeking God's guidance to uncover the hidden truth relevant to your situation. This will allow you to apply His specific principles to address your concerns.

 

Father, expose and peel back the curtains, allowing me to see spiritually what I was previously ignorant of physically. Father, just as Elisha prayed for his servant, asking you to open his spiritual eyes, I ask you to open our spiritual eyes and give us the revelation needed to apply your law and release us from the spiritual cages we've found ourselves in.

 

Lord, I echo Elisha's prayer for his servant over my life in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Indeed, I connect my spirit to this prayer and anticipate similar outcomes for my distressing situation in Jesus' name.

 

Elisha prayed earnestly, saying, "LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see." And with a tender response, the LORD opened the young man's eyes, revealing a breathtaking sight: the mountain was filled with horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha" 2 Kings 6:17. It's important to highlight that the chariots of fire were always there; it was just the servant's spiritual eyes that needed to be opened to fully appreciate their presence.

 

God shows no favoritism. If He did it for Elisha's servant, He will undoubtedly do it for you who believe!

God's Ordained Positions Is Where You'll Find Your Provisions

Position: a condition concerning place, location, or situation. Particularly relating to favorable or unfavorable circumstances.

Scripture advises us that God knows the end of all things from their beginning, Isaiah 46:10. Scripture further advises us that God has already blessed us with all spiritual blessings, Ephesians 1:3. Based on the mentioned Biblical facts of God's awareness of what He already has in place for us, then the set times of the manifestation of our preordained provisions is based on His instructions we follow regarding our current and future positions.

After God instructed Elijah to declare a famine over the land, He also directed Elijah that his next position would include his provision during the famine, as recorded in 2 Kings 17:1-5.

Provision is defined as an arrangement or preparation beforehand for the doing of something, the meeting of needs, the supplying of means, etc.

Today, I would like to share some good news with you. God's favor is upon your life, and as a result, provision has been made for that complex, stubborn, and seemingly impossible situation you find yourself in. However, it is important to follow God's instructions to fully participate in this provision and occupy the position assigned to you.

To refresh your memory, even though God instructed Elijah to declare a famine, it did not excuse him from participating. However, God told Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, where he would find his provisions waiting for him. It's important to note that Elijah could accept or reject these crucial instructions. Before we move forward, please say to God, "Lord, please provide me with detailed instructions to my assigned positions where my provisions await me, in the mighty name of Jesus!"

"And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook; and I (God) have COMMANDED the Ravens to feed thee THERE!, 2 Kings 17:4.

My friend, hear me as I speak to your spirit this morning, GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ALREADY MADE PROVISION FOR YOUR PRESENT CONDITION, BUT IT'S LOCATED AT YOUR FUTURE POSITION!

"Your priority now should be seeking God's instruction for your next position. Ask Him to guide you towards the right place, location, people, or environment to proceed to. Many of you may struggle unnecessarily because you are in the wrong position waiting on God's provisions."

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In ALL thy ways, ACKNOWLEDGE him; as a result, He SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS! Proverbs 3:5-6.

YOUR DIVINE POSITION IS INCLUSIVE OF YOUR PROVISION THAT WAS MADE IN ADVANCE OF YOUR PRESENT DISLIKE CONDITION...................

Spirit Led Folks Are Proactive Not Reactive

Don't be reactive; instead, choose to be proactive.

In other words, do not wait for trouble or challenges to visit you and then respond. Instead, you

must take on a proactive spirit and deal with your future problems and challenges in the spirit realm before they manifest in the natural realm!

Most folks who received an adverse doctor's report or whose kids encountered trouble. At this point, they want to rally up their prayer partners to launch a counter-attack on the Enemy's camp. Unfortunately, our response is only because of the physical attack. As human beings who reside in a world we share with spirits, we have the unique advantage of calling things that are not in existence and preventing certain things from manifesting in our lives before they happen. This, my friend, is called being reactive.

Everything originates in the spirit world before its existence in our natural or physical world. We can prevent certain spiritual things and events conceived in the spirit world from entering our natural world.

One primary way we do this is by being "PROACTIVE" in our prayers. We do this by canceling and rebuking all evil devices, schemes, and ploys spiritually implemented by Satan and his kingdom before they happen in our physical world. We can also cancel the plans of the kingdom of darkness before they manifest on the earth by challenging our bad dreams. Our dreams provide a glimpse of activities being conceived either for or against us in the unseen world. Again, in being proactive, we pray by asking God to destroy everything in the spirit realm that the Enemy has planned and conspired against us so that it can not manifest in our lives.

I know of many Christians diagnosed with a particular sickness, and only at this point did they want to "press into God" for a miracle. We all have the advantage of praying against cancer, Heart disease, diabetes, and any other disease before their manifestation. These diseases, or any other damaging event such as a divorce, premature death, termination from a job, etc., did not begin when the physical events took place. Unfortunately, these adverse events were initiated spiritually, and what is displayed physically is a manifestation that was never challenged spiritually.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we MUST change our methods and strategies for engaging in spiritual warfare. This is the only way to do so. We must adhere to the laws and rules laid out in Scripture, such as: We are not fighting against flesh and blood, and we must focus on the spirit world if we intend to be successful in our natural world, according to Ephesians 6:12 and 2 Corinthians 4:18.

Why not make this the day you change and implement spiritual warfare's biblical strategies? While you may not be divorced or suffering from some terminal disease, it would undoubtedly be proactive to pray against them to ensure that they never take shape in your life later. Therefore, we must choose life instead of death by being proactive instead of reactive.

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live." Deuteronomy 30:19.

Living in the spirit will require walking by faith

The Believers in Jesus Christ who live by sight, meaning they're limited to interpreting their five senses as they relate to our natural world, will be permanently restricted, if not stagnated, in their spiritual walk.

As Believers in Jesus Christ, we are commanded to walk by faith and NOT by sight. In other words, as members of the body of Christ, we directly violate this spiritual law stated in 2 Corinthians 5:7 when we judge or even assess matters from a superficial or physical perspective.

As a body of Believers, our acceptance of Jesus Christ and his work on the cross must transition us from mere natural men and women (limited by our five senses) to receiving the Spirit of God, whose purpose is to elevate us to greater spiritual understanding and limitless spiritual experiences.

Therefore, if the Believer does not see him or herself as a new spiritual creation with the Spirit of God dwelling within them, then more than likely, they will automatically revert to their usual natural way of living, of course, which is limited to their five senses, which are governed by fear.

Walking by faith means walking or behaving according to the Holy Bible's laws, principles, rules, and protocols! In doing so, you are positioning yourself to live, walk, and even behave in a manner that must exceed your natural human limitations. Moreover, you are also in a better position to receive the things of the spirit. According to scripture, the natural man, in his attempt to obtain the things of the spirit, will always conclude the things of the spirit as foolishness simply because such things are spiritually discerned. On the other hand, the believers in Jesus Christ, who have been spiritually regenerated, will always see things from their origin no matter how they are presented. The source of all things is spiritually rooted, and comparing spiritual things with something of a spiritual nature will always unveil the mysteries of our natural problems.

Thus, the following scripture: "13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he is judged of no man. 1 Corinthians 2:13-15

Live according to the Scriptures if you intend to live beyond your limited and restricted human limitations.
