Have you ever found yourself thinking, “That doesn’t make sense…” when God speaks? That’s logic talking. And it’s not wrong to think, but here’s the truth: logic can never outweigh the Spirit of God.
Logic – The Human Mind
Logic is how the natural mind reasons. It’s based on facts, what you can see, patterns, and probability.
-
Logic says: “It won’t work.”
-
Logic says: “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
-
Logic says: “That sounds good, but is it really God?”
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5
Spiritual Reasoning – The Mind of Christ
Spiritual reasoning is led by the Holy Spirit and grounded in God’s Word. It doesn’t need to make sense to the human mind — it simply trusts the truth of God.
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7
Spiritual reasoning says:
-
“If God said it, I believe it.”
-
“It doesn’t have to make sense — it just has to be God.”
-
“Faith sees what logic cannot.”
Why Spiritual Reasoning Always Wins:
-
Logic relies on facts that can change.
-
Spiritual reasoning relies on God’s unchanging Word.
-
Logic may have partial truth, but it is limited.
-
The Spirit speaks absolute truth and produces life, peace, and miracles.
“Your Word is truth.” — John 17:17
Biblical Examples:
-
Noah: Logic said, “It’s never rained.” Faith obeyed.
-
Abraham: Logic said, “Don’t sacrifice Isaac.” Faith trusted God.
-
Peter: Logic said, “You’ll sink on the water.” Faith stepped out anyway.
Logic can guide your mind. Faith guides your life.
Ask yourself this week:
“Am I reasoning with logic… or with the Spirit?”
When you choose spiritual reasoning, you open yourself to miracles, growth, and God’s glory.
Walk by faith. Trust the Spirit. Watch God prove Himself greater than your logic.
