6. Some surefire ways Satan disrupts the unity in the Bride of Christ.
Satan’s desire for God’s people…. #1 Encourage a spirit of Gossip. #2 Exalt Man’s will over God’s will. #3 Convince the people that they are the owners of the church, not the Lord. #4 Keep them so rooted in the past that they fail to be His witness in the present. #5 Replace their Christ centered love with a self serving agenda . #6 Replace their humble, forgiving hearts with resentment and prejudice attitudes for others. #7 I would convince God’s people that their sin has no impact on the body.
