Nope, sorry...don't buy it. Have too much experience with children and adults that still act like children drawing attention to themselves and wanting their own way rather than God's. You see it in your own son...the "wanting his own way" is the sin/flesh expression. God can "restore" rather than "awaken" what isn't there. Granted folks can "act" loving and kind when they learn that works to their advantage and best interest...but they can't "be" spiritual when God hasn't "moved back in". Their spiritual aspect is "dead" not "asleep". I know we disagree. I take God at His Word plus experience is a great teacher. I'm not sure what human writing you are embracing. :-)
