Cathartic — to purge
Psalms 105:19 (Passion) “God’s promise to Joseph purged his character until it was time for his dream to come true.”
Psalms 107:20 — “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.”
His word to us doesn’t just purge us,it also heals and delivers us from destruction. It’s the breaking that brings the breakthrough! — PR
Principles For Victory
- Don’t “live to man” letting others define who we are.
2. Refuse to stay offended

When we remain offended the devil’s got us because his power comes through division. — PR
Hebrews 12:14-15 – The “root of bitterness” — poison to the heart
3. Face Your Fears
Ephesians 6: 13-18 – The Armor of God has no provision for our hind quarters because we’re to face our enemies with His armor on.
