Narrow Minded People

Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (KJV)
 
Those that are truly narrow minded have narrowed their search to the realm of the Spirit and are not tossed to and fro like a tumbleweed in mans’ long winded doctrines. They truly realize that anything outside the realm of the one is done.
 
1 Corinthians 8:5-7 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. (KJV)
 
Many claim to know God, it’s the Son they miss out on; not knowing who the Lord really is and what name He goes by. Some today claim that Jesus is Lord, when they should be confessing Jesus Christ, the name above all names. In other words they only see Jesus the son of man after the flesh because of the narrow minded doctrines they teach. Had they been open to who our Lord is revealing throughout His word they would have seen the Son of God who was within this man, Christ.
 
Ephesians 4:18-20 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; (KJV)
 
Narrow minded carnal people have tunnel vision, and are unable to see the light at the end of it. Until one is able to see light of the gospel of Christ for themselves, they will narrow their search for Him according to the outward and miss out on who He really is.
 
Ephesians 4:21-24 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (KJV)
 
How about expanding your search to a new realm which is not according to the outward man, but according to the truth inside Jesus of Nazareth, the same truth that is inside you; wouldn’t you like some inside information? Stop looking to the outward and renew your mind daily so that you can keep moving forward in your walk with the Lord, growing up and maturing Spiritually the way He intended for you to.
 
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (KJV)
 
My prayer for you today is that you narrow your search to the things that are not seen by the outward carnal man, that you narrow it down daily to the Spirit. Hopefully every day that goes by is another day where you let go of your old narrow minded thoughts and ways and become open to an unlimited way of life where nothing is impossible to you any longer. God bless and hold fast to your profession of faith. Have a very prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord dearly loved.
