DESTINY RECOVERY MESSAGE: The Spiritual Dullard (I)

 THE Spiritual DULLARD _{{Part 1}}

Today in our world, many people have acquired knowledge and have studied so well to become what is known as geniuses. Many are considered as bright, intelligent, sound, clever, innovative, lively, proficient, and knowledgeable in the affairs of this world.

Unfortunately, in the spiritual realm these same highlighted people could also be intellectually weak, dull, sluggish, uninteresting, incapable, gloomy, leaden, and unimaginative.

"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." {Matt 13:15}

Physical dullness can be in action, outlook and in appearance {visible}. Spiritual dullness is purely spiritual and invisible, yet can be manifested.

The problem of Spiritual dullness prevents us from grasping the deeper truths of the Christian faith.
