When a person is behind the curve on multiple fronts, it is nearly impossible to be spiritually, physically, or emotionally replenished.

The strongest hindrance to the move of God in the lives of His people is that we have not died to the flesh. That fact has destroyed countless marriages and homes, and threatened many others. It has caused ministries to crumble, churches to close their doors and filled more altar calls than any demonic onslaught against the church.
