When it’s all on You
Afraid, bound up, feeling condemned, then it was like all the sudden a breeze came upon me and I felt..well, free. Do you hear the whispers? The whispers you hear all day. The ones that don’t leave you any sleep, lead you to walk around with your head down; the ones that make you want to…

The Holy Spirit is not Conscientious
Don’t confuse your Christian minded convictions to always be the perfect will of God; your gut feeling is not the Holy Spirit. “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,…
