Uphill

Teaching-instructing the mind, order, how to.

Romans 7:18

Preaching the gospel-reaching the heart and soul. An announcement, a proclamation, not a discussion.

Preaching calls for a response, a decision.

Healing the body and soul-peace, contentment, joy, hope.

Hopefully you will not experience demon possession but every serious Christian will likely contend with demon oppression.

Uphill-Everything that is good is uphill.
