(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

We experience the conflict between the fleshly mind and the mind of Christ, but we can’t separate the mind of Christ from Christ Himself. So if a Christian isn’t communing with Christ, the revelation goes dead. It’s not that this Christian stops being God’s child, but communication with Christ breaks down, and the Christian’s heart begins to harden against Christ. Then the Christian begins to lean on his or her worldview rather than acknowledging Christ in every situation until, eventually, the fleshly veil obscures the Christian’s vision.

“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: The devils also believe and tremble.” ~ James 2:19 King James Version
