Word Galatians 5:16-21, James 3: What does Pastor Mike mean when he says, The Spirit s filling can be tested? Why is the test not the ultimate importance of spirituality? How can you examine yourself without becoming depreseed and discouraged? John 15:1-6. What does Pastor Mike mean when he says, The Spirit s filling can be faked without one even knowing they are faking it?
