No matter how anointed you are, if you don&#8217;t study the Bible, you&#8217;re just a spiritualist, not a spiritual person. The Bible is not meant for preachers and teachers alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read your Bible pray everyday. Many are &#8220;merely engaged&#8221; by churches, but aren&#8217;t &#8221;imparted&#8221; and the result is futility.
