The Peril of the Successful Church

 The greatest peril we will ever face is the temptation to move from the supernatural to the natural. This happens when we forget our dependency on Jesus and become casual with His presence. When we become familiar with the presence of God we develop a "we don't need the Holy Spirit because we have everything all figured out" type attitude. When we do this, we are separating ourselves from the Spirit of God and we are operating with our natural senses. God's spirit will not strive with man and He will not share His glory with anyone. We must watch for and maintain a determination in our hearts that all that we do is for the glory of God and for the testimony of His power.
