Take It or Leave It has been discussing the Holy and Powerful word and has been studying the many layers in the Parable of the Sower mentioned in Mark. The word of God will lead us to persecutions, afflictions, and tribulations and that is okay because it is God's process. We can trust God! Join Maddison as she shares about the importance of having and receiving the word of God so the Holy Spirit can work in us. In fact, the Holy Spirit cannot work in us if we do not know the word of God. If the Holy Spirit is not working in us, we cannot resist our flesh desires. Psalms 118 reminds us that we ought to trust in the Lord rather than man. The Lord cannot trust us unless we have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Tune in here to understand more and decide if you want to be a trusted servant for His mighty kingdom who stands strong with deep roots in Jesus Christ's word.

Maddison
