Defeating the Spirit of Murmuring

By: Senior Pastor, Bryant L. McNeal


The spirit of murmuring and complaining has invaded the church. We must work, pray and strive toward unity and relationship as we build the Kingdom of God in the earth. Murmuring and complaining is a cancer to the work of ministry. “Cut It Out” and follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit. It’s not about you, it’s about Jesus!

Scripture Reference:

Philippians 2:14 – (Don’t Murmur nor Complain)
“Do all things without murmurings and questionings:”


John 7:12 – (Beware of People who Murmur and Complain)
“And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.”


John 7:32 - (Public Murmuring Can Cause Trouble Down the Road)
“The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.”


Acts 6:1 - (Overcome Murmuring By Working Together)
“Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.”


1Peter 4:9 - (Service in the Kingdom must be done without Murmuring)
“using hospitality one to another without murmuring:”

The third definition of “Pride” is: Arrogant or disdainful conduct or treatment; haughtiness. The goal of this lesson is to expose and defeat the enemy of pride in the church/ministry. Pride can creep in, damage and destroy a church operating through leadership as well as membership. Lets do a self-check each week to ensure we are not operating in the spirit of pride. We must engage in “Overcoming the Enemy of Pride” even while experiencing, correction, instruction, reproof as well as rebuke as we expand to excellence.
