As I stated, the desinsitization has now led to indifference. It used to be that folks would eventually respond although they had initially overrode conviction. I think we are seeing less and less of that.

My personal opinion, and some would strongly disagree, is that we need an incredible, undenyable move of the Holy Ghost coupled with a stronger pulpit than we have had in quite a while. (Notice I said stronger pulpit, not stronger personalities or abuse of the pulpit.)

define what YOU mean by " stronger pulpit" ? I don't think anyone would agree we need a move of the holy ghost. I think the bottom line is, most of the ministry stopped praying. the level of of consecration is low. noticed I didn't say "rules and codes". I'm around the ministry and I was around the old preachers too and can say there is a big difference
