In Search of What Lies BeneathA prophetic path of honesty portrayed in real life short stories and complementing poetry that speaks to the heart. Because who we really are is who we are in the Spirit, freedom cries from beneath heavy stained garments of past hurt, pain, and abuse; garments of bondage worn with the mastered art of camouflage. But the Bible challenges, if we 'take away the dross from the silver, there shall come forth a vessel for the finer' (Proverbs 25:4). God can bring to our life, a new season with garments of praise, declaring past garments 'out of season'! The journey of retrospect to deal with introspect is a prerequisite of wholeness and to maintain holiness. In this writing, the Spirit of God speaks from within expressing His concern about our denials and the resulted dormancy He is forced to have in our life. It encourages, motivates, and inspires all, that beneath it all, lies a vessel fit for the Master's table of life. God challenges to search inwardly; discover who you really are in Him, bring that person to the forefront and reintroduce yourself to the world. You can then effectively change your environment with the essence of yourself which is the image and Spirit of God.
