"no restraint from impurity." The more insensitive you become, the less restraint you have to impurity.

Another way to say "impurity" is "weakness of the flesh." You cannot be strong in your flesh without practicing the Word of God and being sensitive enough in your spirit to hear the voice of God. The result will be the grieving of the Holy Spirit. If God is grieved, Jesus withdraws. He will never leave you, nor forsake you to the end of the earth. But if you are not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, you will find that when you want to hear Him, you can't. You think, "Dear God, I used to get all kinds of revelation. What is wrong now?"

Do you remember how sensitive you were right after you were saved? You were in love with everybody but the devil! Then perhaps a few people offended you and you hardened yourself to them. It led you to judge them as hypocrites. Maybe you saw some humanity in ministers of God. You became disappointed in their lack of perfection.

No one has a right to judge any ministry. They are not your servant. They are your gift. They are God's servants.

Pray for them. Leave it up to God. You cannot judge another man's heart. There are two times when you ought to pray for someone. One is when you think he is right, the other one when you think he is wrong!

How to Develop Sensitivity

Making a quality decision to live the commandment of love is the beginning of a sensitive heart. A decision of quality is one from which there is no return, about which there is no further debate.

Love is tender. When I made the decision to walk in the commandment of love, I began to order my thinking in that direction and it softened my heart. The decision started the laws of the spirit to work in my heart, causing it to be tender and sensitive.

I had to become sensitive to the commandment to walk in love when God called Gloria to preach. It was not easy to give up my cook! There are still people today who think that "women can pray, but bless God they sure better clean house while they are doing it!"

I am not saying that women ought to neglect their families. Don't neglect your husband or your wife.

Everybody has duties in a household and must be sensitive to those duties. Make it a point to be sensitive as well to the fact that the other members of your family have things to do for God, too.

The hard part for me was dealing with my flesh. God had dealt with Gloria to pray at least an hour every day in other tongues. She gets up early and does it first thing every morning. It is just wonderful for her to pray. But I couldn't cope with why she didn't stop long enough to come cook me some eggs! I was so insensitive that I thought it was more important for me to eat than for her to be in intercession for me, my life, and ministry.
