If all the saints who spend their time eating, drinking, and being marry, would actually start inflicting their souls and spending weeks in fasting before the Lord, we would see a lot more of the oppressed being delivered and a lot more captives set free.
If all the saints who spend their time “majoring on minors” would actually start majoring on the foundational issues of the Gospel and demonstrating them by the power of the Holy Ghost, we would have a much stronger foundation.
If all the saints who spend their time pointing out the errors around every corner and finding demons in every herd of swine would actually examine themselves in humility and remove the specks from their own eyes first, we would be a lot more holy.

If all the saints who claim to have a “special calling” to a “high office” in the Body of Christ as some great leader would actually humble themselves and serve their brothers, esteeming them more highly than themselves for love’s sake, we would have a whole lot less spiritual pride and religious elitism and a lot more unity and love.
If all the saints who are complacent and satisfied with where they’re at would actually get hungry for God and seek His face in holy desperation until He moves, we would be a lot less spiritually malnourished and a lot more Spirit-filled.
If all the saints would unite together in love and unity under the blood-stained banner of the Lamb of God and march forth by life or by death to smash through the gates of Hell and take back what the devil stole, we would have a lot more victory and power!!!
