​​​One of my favorite movies is the 1999  science fiction classic The MATRIX. Our hero of the story is told by Morpheus his guide that everything he perceived to be real are only images that his mind has created.  So, it is when we first read the bible this happens spiritually: 1 Corinthians 15:46  Howbeit that was not first is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.  My mind produces a carnal understanding or image of God that not real, in fact it an image or reflection of me: this image flatters us. Proverbs 27:19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. The Bible is meant to be those living waters that reflection the image of Jesus Christ, instead we witness an image of ourselves and calls it Jesus.  My carnal mind deceived me and makes me think that's the only interpretation of a verse is what the natural man can see.1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually  discerned. When I first read the bible my natural carnal mind becomes my biggest enemy. Romans 8:7 because the carnal mind is enmity against GOD: for it is not subject to the law of GOD, neither indeed can it be.  As Mister Smith the villain of the story and his agents will fight to keep the Matrix going. So, will your thoughts war against the scriptures, and your thoughts are death. THE NATURAL MAN WILL FIGHT TO KEEP YOU IN HELL!   Romans 7:13  was then that which is good made death unto me? GOD forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. I first have to see my thoughts are sin.Proverbs 24:9 the thought ot foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to me. Once I can see my thoughts on God's word are sin. I can go back to the commandments {GOD'S WORD} the second timeand not put my thoughts on the word, than the words become my salvation. Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sin of many and unto them that look for him shall he appear thesecond timewithout sin unto salvation. This a Spiritual rapture, as your thoughts are caught up to heaven.  Neo, once he got out of the MATRIX found that everything he thought was the truth was a lie. So is every man a liar when thinks he can interpret GOD'S word just because he can read English.Romans 3:4 God forbid: let every man a lier; as it is written, that thou mightiest be justified in the saying, and mightiest overcome when thou art judged. Our wisdom on God's word must first be judged then destroyed because it's not GOD'S wisdom. James 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthy,sensual devilish. John 2:15 Love not the world , neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him. The world is all the carnal wisdom in your heart about God's character. Proverbs 3:11He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart.The Bible is not talking about a physical place when it says the world, but things in our heart, against God. We must all strive to overcome the world. Neo the hero of our story gained new knowledge by having it down loaded into his mind. God's holy word must be revealed to us or dare I say ''down loaded'' from above. Matthew 16:17And Jesus answered and say unto him, blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father in heaven. You have to be caught up in a verse to get the deeper spiritual understanding of it.I  Corinthians 15:52 In a moment in the twinkling of an eye,at the last trump: for the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. All those drawing and painting about millions missing is pure carnal minded trash. I went to five different churches for 25 years and never received not one thing of God. Why? Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. But for a time I delighted in the things of man because I did not know the things of GOD. 1 Corinthians 2:9For what knoweth the thing of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of GOD knoweth no man, but the spirit of GOD.Often as I listen to my Bible on my mp3 player God will revealed a certain verse to me after 25 years of only knowing the milk or carnal understanding of that verse and WOW!  I'm spiritually caught up in that verse I'm changed  because I have heard the wisdom from above. God has revealed His word to me. God's word is destroying my carnal mind and judging what I once thought was life was only spiritual death. That commandant is raised from corruption or death as to how I wrongly judged it. Romans 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life. I found to be unto death. It is a beautiful thing when God is revealing unto us, but also come with great sadness: because I desire that others might know Him. Neo from the movie once knowledge was down loaded to him he could say ''I know Kung Fu''. That's what Church is suppose to be about: God revealing His holy word to us. Then we can say, I know Spiritually what a verses means. But man has turned God's Church  into a the ''Synagogue Of  Satan'' to this day. But God's word will be set free no longer held bondage by men carnal interpretation. Psalms  18 :28For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my GOD will lighten my darkness. Where is man's darkness?2 Peter 1:19We have a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place , until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your heart. The heart and the mind are interchangeable in the bible. The darkness is in man's mind or heart. What destroyed Mister Smith and his agents in the Matrix Movie? light. How will GOD destroy the carnal mind? with His true light.Psalms 34:5Thy looked unto him,and were lighten : in thy light shall we see light .
