The spirit of witchcraft is operating when there is
- Seeking position and false humility
- Flattery and a critical spirit
- Form of godliness and secret debauchery
- Generosity with resentfulness
- Bible knowledge and fruitlessness
- Bible knowledge without mercy
- Discernment without love
- Seated with Christ with arrogance and presumption
- Rebuking the devil without holiness
- Deliverance without humility
- Worship with a chip on one's shoulder
- Grieving the Holy Spirit with lifted hands
- Binding on earth what is loosed in heaven
- Loosing on earth what is bound in heaven
- A repentanceless gospel
- The announcements last longer than the prayer
- Offering new life without prerequisite death
- Fellowship without discipleship
- Communion without community
- Selling what God offers for free
- Obedience with expectation of reward
- Mistaking a church service for worship
- Public honor, private dishonor
- Jockeying for position instead of preferring others
- God's honor is the highest priority
- The weak and flawed are edified, not cast aside
- Being an introvert is not an obstacle
- Being an extrovert is not a qualification
- Generosity does not mean the offering plate
- The worship is not cut short by announcements
- The poor and the widow find refuge
- People are released from bondage, not bound up even more
- There are no identifiable celebrity leaders
- Every ministry, goal, and activity revolves around corporate prayer
- A significant percentage of people were recently saved
- The people are taught how to worship and how to pray
- Big demands are not scary
- Holiness is modeled
- The young gravitate toward the gray haired ones
- The congregation knows what to do when the power fails or the sound system quits
- It doesn't cause a problem if the person who was to preach the sermon has to cancel
- The people know how to truly love
- The people know how to truly rebuke
- The people know how to truly edify
- The people know how to truly belong
- The people know how to truly live
