The most common cause of death in the mountains is hypothermia, better known as death by freezing. The symptoms of the subtle killer are mild depression, fatigue and falling. If an individual did not recognize the symptoms of hypothermia, he might think he was really cold and tired and might decide to lie down and go to sleep for a little while. If proper treatment were not available, the person would then die!

The most common cause of spiritual death is not a sudden rebellion to God. Usually, one allows the devil to slowly enter his life until eventually the person is lulled into spiritual sleep. Obvious symptoms include a dwindling prayer life, a lack of Bible study, insensitivity to sin and dependence on self, not God.

Don’t allow Satan to slowly deceive you into dying spiritually.

1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
