This week on our Zoom fellowship, I want to continue the journey we began with The Shalom of Surrender .

A Lamp, Not a Map Learning to Walk by the Light Yahovah Gives “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 This is one of the most familiar verses in Scripture, yet its power is often lost through repetition.

In this teaching, we looked at what it truly means to be led by the Spirit of God - not by emotion, pressure, or personal revelation detached from Scripture.

I presented my points in testimony, but I would like to share the notes I prepared, even thoug...

A Balanced Understanding of Biblical Anointing In this teaching, we confront the growing misuse of the term “anointing” in modern charismatic/Pentecostal circles.

We unpack key Scriptures- Isaiah 6...
