    I want the church to grow because God desires that it grows but I may not want any of my family members who will take the spotlight away from me.

    I received this idea from my mentor Jerrie Barber. I Want the Church to Grow – But Do I Want Anymore People #7 Philippians 2:1-8 For the last six weeks we have been looking at Church growth and some of the things that we do to sabotage that growth.

    based on 1 rating
     | 858 views

    Do we wait for God’s timing or do we rush ahead of God? What happens when we speak words of doubt and disbelief instead of faith and trust in God? If we can learn to speak right and stay silent when we have to we will be blessed and avoid many pitfalls.

     | 6,943 views

    How do we go to battle without becoming demon chasers? There are two extremes to avoid. Some people tend to blame every adversity on the devil, always assuming, "It's a demon!" They're impressed by the heaviness and the oppression. They know all the spiri

    Demons are known to operate in both the soul and the body. There is no Biblical evidence that I am aware of where demons are known to specifically operate within a man's spirit.
