"An authentic work of the Holy Spirit is always ultimately accompanied by:
1. The exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. An awareness of sin and a desire for repentance.
3. A burden for lost souls.
4, Reconciliation and unity among believers.
5. The faithful proclamation of, and reverence for, the Word of God.
6. A desire to love and serve others.
7. A maturing growth in holiness and personal sanctification.

If you are not seeing evidence of these earmarks, you may be observing a fleshly, man-made attempt to do something on God's behalf, but it is not the work of God's Spirit." --Israel Wayne
