Is being spiritual something that we turn on and off? Is it something that we only operate in occasionally when circumstances dictate that it is needed? Or, does the ability of being spiritual only happen after we accept Jesus the Christ as Lord and Savior?

This part may be the most difficult and challenging. It is going to require us to trust and believe at a level higher than we may have ever had to do before.

Just as a lot of those that came before us did not see the fruit of their pain and sacrifice, but generations later we have been able to benefit from it. . . . https://www.shaped2live.com/ . https://twitter.com/Shaped2L . https://www.instagram.com/shaped2live/

We must pay close and careful attention to what we are taught by others and spend intentional time in private study of Yehovah's Word or we can be laid out on stretchers to be carried away by every whim and doctrine and self-centered desire, leaving us in a paralytic state and not even fully realize it.
