“And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.” Jeremiah 18:12
When ministers grow weary and frustrated because souls aren’t being won like they want and their church isn’t growing numerically like they desire, then they lose hope. Once hope is lost then they start to walk after their own devices and live out their imaginations. This is where we are at today. We need the Spirit to once again lead our churches.
