I remember as a kid, I used to love Candy Land. It was my all-time favorite game! The older I get the more I begin to realize that Candy Land is more truth than fiction. There have been so many times in my life where I feel like I am going along well. When things seem to be flowing and I have a strong sense of "I've got this!" rumbling in my belly.

There is an actual obligation toward LIVING in right standards to God's principles. Even if everybody under the sun seems to be doing their own thing and not caring, we (as believers possessing the Spirit of God within) are completely without excuse.

You will never know the authority given to you by God to bring ALL of heaven to earth. I don't know about you. But there is no guilty pleasure, habit, or impulse .. worth losing the authority of Sonship ove...
