A. There Must Be a Willingness. "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God..." (Romans 12:1-2)
