I am so thankful for the counsel of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it is hard to make sense of your experiences, however if you are really open to truth, then the light of the Lord can eliminate the gray by dividing the light from the darkness to help you discern what is really going on....

Stop Pissing in Your Wells
People that are selfish, which is the same as unloving, inevitably piss in the wells given to them to drink from. We live in a world that has become a desert. There aren’t many wells with living water. We have oceans full of water that is undrinkable, lakes contaminated with trash and chemicals, and plenty... Continue Reading →

Understanding the correlation between the love of money and “All” the evil we face today?
The Apostle Paul wrote in a letter to Timothy that the love of money is the root of all evil. It is important to understand the basis of this statement because it takes us all the way back to Adam and Eve in the garden. There was no money or form of currency being exchanged... Continue Reading →
Correctly Addressing the Sorrow of Woman
I think the popular religious interpretation of "sorrow" as described in Genesis 3:16 is off the mark. People speak of the sorrow that Eve was cursed with as physical pain, but this sorrow speaks to emotional grief and strain which is painful to the heart and soul. The same word is used in reference to... Continue Reading →
