We are all in danger of becoming “spiritual quadriplegics”.  But, we will never become “spiritual quadriplegics” if we truly learn what it means to “walk in the spirit” and are actively doing so.  As we approach the Day of Pentecost when God’s Spirit was poured out and His New Testament Church began, it is very important that we all “walk in the spirit” and learn to overcome the works of the flesh.
