The Consciousness Of Spiritual Things

The Consciousness Of Spiritual Things

II Kings 6:13-16 NKJV

[13] So he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” And it was told him, saying, “Surely he is in Dothan.” [14] Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city. [15] And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” [16] So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 

The consciousness of spiritual things owes it to one's spiritual intelligence. Wikipedia describes Spiritual Intelligence as, " ...a term used by some philosophers, psychologists, and developmental theorists to indicate spiritual parallels with intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EI)". Irini Fambro says that Spiritual Intelligence is the gift of seeing the unseen. " The Bible speaks clearly of an unseen world that is parallel to ours, but many of us live unaware of it. Spiritual intelligence is how we describe the God-given wisdom of being aware of the spiritual dimension of reality". 

   The servant of Elisha saw a city surrounded by soldiers, but the Master saw more with Spiritual Intelligence. He saw the soldiers sorrounded by  a higher and more sophisticated heaven's army. Our emotional response owe it to the level of Spiritual intelligence we have. Read the lines again. Feel the servant's fear and the Master's faith. The enemy wants you to operate in fear, but your Spiritual intelligence will link you to faith. 

   Kris Vallotton in his book of a similar title "...suggests that believers are ignoring a deeper dimension of our makeup–our SQ, or spiritual intelligence. Because we have the mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit, we are capable of divine brilliance–a heightened understanding that aligns our perspective with His and reveals stunning solutions. God not only invites us to operate in this gifting, but He designed us for it!" Read the lines again. To make it easy, Valloton identifies five dimensions of this gifting: " The Gift of Discernment, The Gift of Knowledge, The Gift of Wisdom, The Gift of Prophecy, and The Mind of Christ". Today, be more conscious of spiritual things. They rule the physical. By the end of the day, Elisha captured a whole battalion of soldiers by Spiritual Intelligence. You too can ask God for it. Good morning.
