Why You Need Spiritual Discernment in This Hour

By |2022-06-06T15:10:12-05:00June 6th, 2022|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

Prophet: Allow the Holy Spirit to Do a House Inspection in Your Soul

By |2022-01-24T11:48:06-06:00January 24th, 2022|Charisma Blog|0 Comments

The way of the Cross leads home and through Jesus, we each have a personal place of belonging. Our identity is not found in our giftedness but by being rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus. We need to keep the main and plain truths of the gospel central in each of our lives. As sensitive, oriented believers, each of us needs to be a bit more like a rhinoceros—thick-skinned but with a big heart. For too long, the prophetic and prayer community has tended to be a bit too thin-skinned while carrying our big, compassionate hearts. I have learned [...]
