Allergies Exposed

July 31, 2025March 1, 2018 by Luis Rodriguez

Welcome to our Weekly Blog

Allergies are such a common part of our modern world that we don’t even give them a second thought. In fact, if a Doctor were to tell us that we had a certain allergy to something most people would immediately adjust their eating habits or lifestyle in order to avoid that particular thing.

Our bodies are incredible responders to every thought that we have, regardless of how small. If we think to lift a finger, it lifts without skipping a beat. If we think to speak a word, it’s hard to stop it. But what happens to those internal thoughts that we don’t express in an outward manner?

When you have a fear of man existing in your life as if it is you, you are open to all kinds of fear of rejection, fear of not measuring up to other’s expectations and fear of not being accepted.

March 17, 2016 by ccorwin

I want to ask everyone a question. Do you really hate sin? Now, for believers, the first answer is, of course, “I hate sin.”

Now, some of you may know that you do not hate sin the way you need to. There is not one person who can say, “yes, I totally hate sin,” because you are still entangled with the sin within.

So what should the answer be for an overcomer?
