I believe the spirit of God (love) is the fire that destroys the evil (our egos).

I found rest by believing in the good news❤️. We start as infants drinking milk, living in a simplistic of black and white thinking. I believe as we mature we leave simplicity, move to complexity, and in that are “trained by practice to distinguish good from evil”.

1&2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. I believe the purpose of the law is to teach us how to be in relationships with each other. If a law doesn’t help build relationships, it’s not necessary. We all matter. Listen, learn, and love… thats how you build people up. God builds people up. He gives them power. That’s how we can do His will.

I believe as we turn from idols (the dead) we turn to the living❤️. Building community is how I serve a true and living God. It’s by accepting all people, all truths.

Doing what I want to do rather than what I think I should do- I now “do all things without murmuring or arguing”. Christ trusted that I was good. He died so I could be free to follow my heart. Because our hearts are sooo good, he knew we would follow his footsteps of love and compassion if we were free.

Accepting grace was changing my mind from thinking I had to be perfect to go to heaven to I am good and I can improve my behaviors everyday- there is nothing that can separate me from God’s presence❤️😇❤️. It popped my shame bubble of who I am and I could look at my life without fear (darkness) and with love (light) change my behaviors and beliefs that were not loving and kind.

The spirit cares more about being loving than being right. The flesh cares more about being right than being loving.

I believe true followers of Jesus Christ don’t put themselves above another(boast) and make slaves. They are your friend, give freedom, and builds you up.

Learning to love without the need to control lifted veils off my eyes and got rid of negative feelings, I just have peace and love left in my heart.

Prophesy is a spiritual gift that builds up the church. I believe we can all gain this gift!
