In 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, Paul refers to the two levels of spiritual maturity within the Body of Christ:

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Paul could not teach the Corinthian believers about deeper spiritual things because they were not mature enough to understand. They were "babes in Christ," and he had to feed them with milk as you would feed a tiny baby. Hebrews 5:13 says, "For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe."

First Peter 2:2 says, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby."

When you accepted Jesus as Savior and made Him the Lord of your life, you were "born of God" (1 John 5:1).

According to 1 Peter 1:23, you were born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God. At that moment, you joined the family of God and entered into spiritual affairs as a newborn baby. If since that time you have never fed on the milk of the Word, you are still a spiritual baby. Don't expect to operate proficiently in faith without a knowledge of the Word.

It is no sin to be a baby and no disgrace to be a carnally-minded Christian. A baby does not grow to adulthood overnight, so a new believer should not expect to operate as a mature Christian after only a few days. It takes time spent in God's Word for him to grow and mature spiritually.

The first step to spiritual maturity is to realize your position before God. You are a child of God and a joint-heir with Jesus. Consequently, you are entitled to all the rights and privileges in the kingdom of God, and one of these rights is health and healing.

You will never fully realize or understand healing until you know beyond any doubt that God's will is for you to be healed. God wants you healed! He wants you whole! He wants you to grow in the Word and walk in His perfect will just as Jesus did. Whether or not you accept that and purpose to walk in the reality of the truth is your own decision to make.
