Reaching through the bustle of people\u2019s physical activities, to communicate to their spirit is impossible without Almighty Spirit\u2019s motivation. (and your glass of water.) So many people, including church leaders, do not understand the Holy Spirit\u2019s role in communicating to their spirit.
