Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are. Do you wonder why you react negatively to situations and certain people while others don’t seem to be bothered at all? Have you ever experienced seeing bad habits in your children when you know that it was you who passed that trait on to them?
The truth is, we are all the product of the generations that came before us. We have inherited positive and negative traits from our family of origin. These are not only physical traits but as we will learn today, spiritual ones as well.
Today we will be continuing our talk with Linda Godsey, she is a dear friend of ours. We have personally experienced life changing ministry sessions with Linda and will be forever grateful for what she has imparted to us. If you haven’t already be sure to listen to part one of this series.
