If there is any place of\nfailing in them, if there is any succumbing to the flesh in any area, you can\nbe sure Satan will pounce on it and make every effort to bring them down and\ndiscredit any miracles or deliverances that have been a part of their ministry.<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n<p><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:\nArial;color:#005500'>It is a sad and unfortunate truth that people in ministry\nfail.&nbsp;
