She emphasised the crucial need for the guidance and work of the Holy Spirit for a church to survive and grow, stating that without it, a church is not biblical. She expressed concern about some churches going against the work of the Holy Spirit.
Pointing to the life of Peter from the Bible, who became bold after receiving the Holy Spirit, she said the word of God is living and powerful. She stated that a church with the anointing of the Holy Spirit is approved by God, adding that when the Holy Spirit came, the church started and miracles happened.
