The Barnabas Rule of Encouragement

Dr. Richard Shropshire - The Barnabas Connection

BUT

you run the risk of not only shutting down the Holy Spirit's access to the 95%, you may

even shut down His access to the 5% He currently controls.

Illustration: a drunk walks into your church. The typical response: kick him out.

That is dealing with the 95%: his drunkenness - and he may never return.

What is the 5%: he showed up at your church.

SO:

- encourage the 5% - you probably would see the Holy Spirit do a miracle in his life.

- What better place to apply this principle then in your marriage and family life!
