be filled with the love of Jesus
you are not the guilty one
you are not to play the victim

conqueror sets the rules, the culture
more so in Christ - we create a holy place
in all things
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
no offense
no hurt
no trauma
no circumstances
Word of Caution
some offense, some trauma requires deeper ministry
allow the Spirit to go deeper
