Nothing happens that we see with the natural eye. But in the spiritual rrealm things are changing. willful sin is darkness and brings in others sins that we didn''t do before we got saved. Our talk and walk changes; the old man comes back and bring others with him. We go to church and do the same things we used to do, but without the joy we once felt when we walked in the light. We deceive ourselves by continuing to go to church but our heart is not in it. we do all the things we did when we were living for God, but our hearts are far from feeling the Spirit of the lord. there is a slow spiritual death that is taking place.
