  • ·       Filling our “spiritual void” with anything other than Jesus is a religious spirit! (2 Corinthians 10:6)

  • ·       One sign that we’re walking in the Spirit is how we treat the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12)

    • o   Illuminates darkness

    • o   Breaks strong holds

    • o   Exposes hidden sin

    • o   Wounds & heals

    • o   The vehicle of our transformation (2 Corinthians 3:6; John 15:7)
