A wise man learns something from all that impacts him and a fool is easily offended. To gain a self sustained confidence, will mean a shifting from faith in men, to faith in ME.
Opinions, opinions, and more opinions. Have you noticed that men will give advice from a place in their hearts, from which, they are not competent? The words they speak are for their own ears.
Opinions blow in the wind, they are fleeting and have no substance, some from the east and others push in from the west. The opinions of your environment have become the yokes of bondage.
You are no longer slaves, you instead are joint heirs, making you 100% MY Sons. You can move, walk and make decisions in supreme confidence, that the Mercy Seat is on your side and I AM standing with you.
Lev. 26:13
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the yoke of slavery from your neck so you can walk with your heads held high.
I Might Be a Prophet
