But that will only manifest as weContinue reading “Principles of Success 10 You Are Who God Says You Are, But You Manifest Who You Think You Are”

God made humanity male and female. There’s a particular male energy and a particular female energy. The way the world is pressing is to eliminate those differences but male and female are different. They are not the same! Being a good man is not precisely the same as being a good woman. God has madeContinue reading “Principles of Success 09 Learn How Gender Works”
