Main Takeaways

·     From Bonnie, “I think it all Boils down once again, to the Savior is the light, the Way, the Truth, my everything, right? And if I'm not helping other people come unto him, I could be falling into the trap of being a false prophet.”

·     From Tamara, “I need to pray for the spirit of discernment more in my life, because this is something we need God's help doing as we meet and interact with different people, is help me to discern God, you know, who I should be associating with and how I can help. Maybe I'm put in front of them to shine God's light to them, but help me also discern where I'm supposed to be, so that I can discern between the different types of fruits.”

·     From LeMira, “It comes back to me that that integrity word. . . am I living true to that? Am I being a good fruit, you know, not a rotten one? Am I reflecting His light, and when I am, they'll see Christ through me.”
