Welcome And Intent For Healing

Dina LaFargue Augustin 0:00

Greetings and welcome to the drip line where love and healing will flow into your soul. Tune in and take a listen. Come along this journey, allowing love and truth to permeate your entire being. Hopefully, the message shared this week will touch your heart, allowing you to move closer to your healing, making you more self-aware, and empowering you for your daily life, enabling you to live more prosperously and successfully. 2025 is gone and 2026 is here. Yes, the holidays have passed, Christmas is over, Hanukkah has passed, New Year's has passed, and we are into the next week of January. There is no going back, there is no do over and no need for regrets. We cannot and must not live in the past. No matter what happened, we cannot change a thing. We cannot undo bad decisions, we cannot unlive horror horrific experiences, we cannot totally erase the bad memories or pretend like they didn't hurt or do damage. Nothing

Leave The Past And Choose The Present

Dina LaFargue Augustin 1:25

can be undone or unlived. It is what it is. It is what it was. But what we can do is look forward and live in the present. We can take life one day at a time. We can be responsible for how we move forward. That's what we can do. What we can do is accept the things we cannot change and focus on the things that we can change. What we can do is direct our energy and time on things we do well. What we can do is be more loving to self and not nurture our wounds. What we can do is make sure we are not holding on to grudges, that we are not drowning in regret or holding on to old hurts. What we can do and should do is make sure we keep what is most important in mind. And to me, that means what we can and should do is focus on the well-being of our own mind, body, soul, and spirit actually, on our overall prosperity, and on our relationships with family and our closest of friends. Hence, my focus in the podcast this week pertains to maintaining a healthy mindset or establishing a healthy mindset and on what we need to commit to in 2026 in order to prosper in every way. Again, in mind, body, and soul, and in spirit. In my opinion, being hopeful, optimistic, and being positive can help. But optimism, positivity, and hope are not enough. We need more. They are not enough by themselves. There must be a foundation that supports those beliefs and positions.

Mindset For 2026: Beyond Positivity

Dina LaFargue Augustin 3:25

I listen to people. I listen to how they talk, how they talk about their problems, their families, their finances, past experiences, how they feel about men, women, society, politics, and the future of the world. I listen to their New Year's resolutions, their hopes and dreams, and their expectations for 2026 and beyond. Some seem to have it together, and others much less. Now I try not to be biased or judgmental, but I must say the ones I feel the most for are those that may seem the most well-to-do in every way, but don't have any true connection to Christ or any true idea of what happens after we die. I have sat in circles of the wealthy and the well-to-do, and in circles of those barely making it from one week to the next. And sadly, the ones again that I am most concerned for are those elitists, those that are materialistic, the agnostic, and the atheist who seem to

Wealth, Morality, And Life Without Christ

Dina LaFargue Augustin 4:43

delude themselves into believing that what they have and what they believe is enough. Now, how do I know that it's not enough? It's really obvious to me because they have no plan for their soul life. They have no idea what really matters besides being in great physical and financial health. And I can say this confidently because I live in the U.S. I was born in the U.S. And the U.S. is built on Christian Judeo beliefs. Our laws are based on the Ten Commandments. And those that are most wealthy have built wealth in these United States of America, and they have also benefited of the laws of this Christian God, which is based on loving thy neighbor as thyself. So I listen and I feel sad because although they benefited from this laws of the Christian God, they do not accept the truth of the Christian God or that he is even real. Morality is based on God. Equity and equality comes from God. So I feel sad because I know that although I cherish having both myself and the love of God, I know that without Christ I am poor and I know I am able to love myself and love others because of Christ. I know that without Christ I am lost. I know that without Christ being a minority, I might still be a slave. Without Jesus Christ, I am truly without a future. Without Christ, I am dead. Nothing else matters without Him. I might have the highest IQ, I might have more than Elon Musk, Bezos, or Warren Buffett, but I am utterly impoverished and have nothing of real value without Jesus Christ, who makes me a real living soul, and who lets me know that I matter to him. And I ask myself, why is Jesus Christ so offensive to so many people? Why do those who purport to even know him turn to other means of finding peace and hope and good health outside of him? Now those reasons vary, and I've looked at them and written lists, and the list is long. So what I will do in this podcast is list the things that the God of all creation says we need and can have through Christ, through whom all good things come. And that line is based on the scripture in the Bible, in the book of Romans, chapter 11, for it says, For from him and

Why Knowing Jesus Comes First

Dina LaFargue Augustin 7:41

through him and to him are all things, and to him be the glory forever. James chapter one verse seventeen reads, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. No, we were made by an unchanging God who is faithful to Himself, who is love. Therefore, how we care for ourselves matters. How we care for our souls and our spirit men matters. Who we know and what we know makes a difference in this world and in the life thereafter. Who we know and what we know makes a difference as to how we carry burdens, who we know and what we know impacts how we manage our lives, our interpersonal relationships, our families, and even how we make important decisions. Who we know is a game changer. The same goes, it's at it's not always what you know, but who you know. Meaning, if you want a good job, if you want a great path to your career, make connections. If you want to go far, make connections. Hence, I say, if I need to know anyone, it's Jesus. If I'm going to improve my circle of friends and social circle for opportunity and enrichment, it will be with Jesus. If I need to know anyone, I am going to get to know Jesus. I am not saying I do not need anyone else. I'm not saying we do not need anyone else, but we should connect with Jesus first and foremost, and hence the connections, the destiny helpers will follow. And why do I say Jesus should come first? Because he is the author and finisher of our lives. We are to live for him and in him. We are to allow him to live through us. In doing so, we are optimizing our potential, we are optimizing the ability to self-actualize. We are optimizing our ability to manage relationships in the most healthiest of manners. So we do so by submitting to and surrendering our wills to Him. What could be more optimal than allowing the creator of life, the giver of life, the one who made us a living soul, lead and guide us. He knows the plans that he has for us, and they are to fill us with hope and a future. He is the author and finisher. He is the one that has designed us. And then we can achieve the most optimal for our lives because we are doing it with him in mind. And in so doing, we are honoring him, we are worshiping him

Needs, Psychology, And Spiritual Alignment

Dina LaFargue Augustin 10:52

and glorifying him and edifying ourselves and others. If we want to live better, it is to know better. The better is Christ. And I'm going to show you why we should look to him, why we should trust in him, why we should not find him offensive, and why he offers only good, and how the quality of our lives and relationships can improve as a result. Therefore, I'm going to say this. We are beings of needs. We all know we have needs, and those needs touch us at varying levels in our lives. First, we must survive the physical world, and we must mature and grow socially and relationally. So I discuss Carl Rogers and Maslow. I interject their philosophies because they are the most eminent psychologists that establish frameworks for the psychology, uh, the study of psychology as we know it today. So I'm going to list the different needs that these two men discuss and have posited. Maslow's hierarchy of needs can be separated into two types of needs: deficiency needs and growth needs. A deficiency need is a psychological need, which means we need food, water, and air to live. The next is security. We need to feel safe. We need financial security and stability and good health. Socially, we need and all desire, love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging. The next is esteem, which means we need appreciation. We need to feel appreciated and respected. These needs are deficiency needs, which arise due to deprivation. If we don't get them, we don't thrive. If we don't feel fulfilled in any one of those areas, we may not prosper as we could or should. Satisfying these lower-level needs is important to avoid unpleasant feelings and consequences and actually to avoid developing dysfunctional behavior and thought processes. The next are growth needs. Maslow calls these needs or puts these needs at the top of

Scriptures: Way, Place, And Path

Dina LaFargue Augustin 13:21

his pyramid of growth. These needs don't stem from a lack of something, but rather from a desire to grow as a person. I think we can all agree that the more self-aware we are, the more we realize we have desires and goals that we want to fulfill or meet. It's called self-actualization, striving to be more, to do more, to be fulfilled in accomplishing something that's important. Carl Rogers, the other pre-eminent psychologist, viewed the development of the self as a key need and focus for one's life and best outcome. Rogers believed that the formation of a healthy self-concept was an ongoing process shaped by a person's personal life experiences. People with a stable sense of self tend to have greater confidence and cope more effectively with life's challenges and can accomplish more. With these two pre-eminent psychologist in mind and their beliefs in mind that have set the foundation for how psychologists counsel and how schools even base teaching and self-actualization, I am going to supply two separate list that address our most spiritual of needs. These two lists reflect different dimensions of who we are and what we desire And in addressing our spiritual needs, I think you'll find that at the same time or simultaneously, they're addressing our physiological, physical, and psychological needs and are in agreement with Maslow's hierarchy and Rogers' position on self-actualization. So the first list goes as follows: God provides the way, He provides the purpose and a place, He provides the path, a table, good works and intention, strength and rewards. So the first scripture that supports God providing the way for us is that He actually does so in this life and in the next. In John 14, verse 6, Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. So in providing us a way, this verse shows us that he is the way to live, he is the way we are to process things, he is the pathway to a prosperous life and the way to a peace-filled afterlife. And I am a true believer in the

Provision, Good Works, Strength, Rewards

Dina LaFargue Augustin 16:24

afterlife. In John 14, 23, we have a scripture that supports the fact that God provides the place. It reads, Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. So not only is the place a place in the afterlife, but it is a place where we can dwell in him, in this land of the living, in our daily lives. If we place ourselves in his hands, if we put our minds in his, if we allow him to come into our thought life, then we can live in a spacious place, in a place of peace despite the storms, in a place of knowing, despite what seems to be unknown, in a place of comfort where otherwise we might have discomfort. And I can go on and on, but for the sake of not making this podcast three hours, I'm going to abbreviate everything. And perhaps later I'll do podcasts that just focus on each scripture individually to give more substance to understanding who God is and what He can truly do for us. The next is the path. God most certainly provides a path for us to make it in this life. Proverbs 3 is one to dwell in in its entirety, but I'll read it from verse 3. It says, Let love and faithfulness never leave you. Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God. Hear this, with God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your path straight. So matter what goal we have set for ourselves, no matter what we desire, no matter the confusion, no matter the difficulties in our personal and interpersonal relationships, he says, remember love. Remember to be faithful to him. Remember to live by them. And in so doing, our hearts will be healed, relationships will be healed. We will win favor from God. We will win a good name with God and our fellow men. And if we put our trust in the Lord God, then we are not relying solely on ourselves or on other people, but we are trusting that He is going to lead us down the right path, and not just spiritually, but how to do things, how to set our goals, who to meet. He makes those connections. He makes the way uh level before us. He smooths out the rough patches if we submit to him. So when we think things are just natural, they're not just natural. Everything is tied to something spiritual. And the more you study it, and even any other faith system, you'll find that the natural is tied to the spiritual and the spiritual is tied to the natural. Nonetheless, our paths will be made straight, our ways will be made less rough when we acknowledge the fact that we are not just natural beings, but spiritual beings, and that there is a God of all creation that is right there. And I segue into the next thing: the table. He sets the table. He puts the food in front of us that we need to eat, meaning the things we need, the supplies we need, the provision we need. He is also the bread of life. He is the fountain of life. So we can eat and drink of him. He sets the table with himself and with everything that we need. And he does it in the presence of our enemies. He anoints our heads with oil and causes our cup to overflow. So if we eat of his word and drink of the foundation, the fountain of life, we can not just survive but thrive and prosper. The next on the list is good works. In Ephesians chapter 2, it reads, For it is by grace you have been saved through

Jesus Gives Life, Love, And Identity

Dina LaFargue Augustin 20:52

faith. And this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by our works, so that we cannot boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Hence, we don't have to fight trying to be better and be all this and do this and do that, trying to perform before God. No, we have salvation through Christ, so we can rest in him. But we are created to glorify God, to live for him. So anything we do should be for him. And he has created us each as individuals with certain gifts and talents to glorify him. So all we have to do is tap into his desires for us, tap into who he made us to be, and not like anyone else, and then we can move forward in peace, being confident in who we are, being confident in knowing God works with us and through us to glorify him. Not men, we don't have to worry about what anybody else thinks of us, but only what God thinks. He is the one that is our all in all and all important. And in creating us, he gives us his strength. Not our own, but his. It reads, do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom, but he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on the wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. And this is found in Isaiah chapter forty. So God never grows tired, he never grows tired of us, he is never weary, he never falters, he never goes to sleep on us. He knows our every thought, our every weakness, our every strength. He is there ready to uphold us, to feed us, to strengthen us, to revive us. That is who he is. So in all our doing and all our getting, we need to do it in him and not rely on our own strength, our own power, our own might, our own understanding. And at the end of it all, number seven, there are rewards. He says, Look, I am coming soon in the book of Revelation. My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. That means in him. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. The next list that I believe we need to focus on, meditate on, rely on, and assimilate into who you are comes from simply Bible.com. Not only who we are, but what God gives us. The first, Jesus gives us life. Johnny 11 verses 25 through 26 read Jesus said to Martha I Am the resurrection and the life. Believers in me shall live even though they die. The article goes on to say we all want life, not death. Many of us fear death because we don't know what's on the other side. We have a natural desire to live and to live long and to live well. Most of us naturally keep putting death out of our minds and focus on living our lives. We know our lives on this earth are painfully short, but we push the knowledge of the afterlife into a dark corner and live as though long life

Hope, Goals, And Forward Focus

Dina LaFargue Augustin 25:10

is a given and as if life after doesn't matter. But my assertion is that our life here and there matters, how we live our life here matters, and how we live our life after well, what will be the quality of that life? So we have life in him. We need to acknowledge that our life is of him. We need to recognize that we have no life without him, for by his power our heart beats. It is by his power that the sun shines. It is by his power that the earth even rotates. So, yes, we have life, but we have life because of him. Therefore, we are not to live it haphazardly, we are not to live outside of him, we're not to live as if he doesn't exist, because if we do so, we cut our own lives short, and there is a hereafter that will matter. First John chapter 4 reads, and this, the love of God, was made clear to us that God has sent his unique and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. God's Son loves as his father loves. Therefore, he has given us life, but he has given us his love. Therefore, we should live in that love. We should know that we cannot love without him having loved us first. For it reads in John 13, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, that he had loved his own who were in the world, and he loved them to the end. And that means us. We are of him and he died for us. He died that we may have life everlasting with the Father. Therefore, as I have read before, he says he is the way, the truth, and the life. So if we want our relationships to be better, if we want anything meaningful in life, we should recognize that the love of God is what gives us real meaning. To live in love, to do things with love in our heart, to speak with love in our words, to give out of love, to serve out of love, because love is everything. So Jesus gives us life, and Jesus gives us love and shows us the most sacrificial of all love, and that was by coming into this world, setting his Godship aside, living as a man, dying as a man, and resurrecting as the man God with the full power of God in him. And we have that resurrection power in us once we accept Christ Jesus

Contentment, Peace, And Trust In God

Dina LaFargue Augustin 28:07

as our Lord and Savior. The third on this list from Simply Bible is that Jesus gives us a true sense of importance. I hear many people say, What is this life all about? I don't know who I am, I don't know why I'm here, what does it all matter, and what does it mean? In the book of Revelation, chapter one, verse six, it says, Jesus has made us a kingdom, priest to his God and Father. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Simplyble.com goes on to say, When you become a believer and a follower of Jesus Christ, you become part of a chosen people, and that is according to First Peter chapter 2, verse 9. You belong to his kingdom. You're not just a slave, you are also his friend, and you are a priest. You have a right to full access to the heavenly throne of grace, where you may worship God, where you access his blessings and his benefits. This status is granted by Jesus Christ, the high priest. And that can be found in Hebrews chapter 4 and chapter 10. So this knowledge should be comforting. It should give a person a sense of belonging, a sense of purpose, a sense of family, a sense of relationship, a sense of acceptance. It is not to make one arrogant, but it should make a person feel whole. How could it not? None of us wants to be a nobody. We all want to be the somebody who is special, and we are special in Christ. The world has many people and important and high places, but none is nearly as high as the throne of God. And we have a place in heaven, and actually, in accepting Christ Jesus as our Savior, we become part of Him and we sit in high places with Him. And our actual citizenship is not just in the city or the town or the village where you live, but it is in heaven. And that can be found in Philippians chapter 3, verse 20. It is so important to know that we are made of God, made in his image and for him, and that he never leaves us or forsakes us, and that he is infused us with purpose and with love and with life if we only accept him. Now the next on the list is four. Jesus gives us a true goal and hope. In Philippians chapter 3, and I love chapter 4 also, because they're both full of hope and empowerment. But chapter 3, verse 20 and 21 read, we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will come from heaven.

Worship Jesus Alone

Dina LaFargue Augustin 31:13

He will transform our lonely body that it may conform to his glorious body. He is able to do this because he has the power to subject everything to himself. And how does he do that? Because he is God, he is the living word before he ever manifested in the flesh as a man. Don't we all need something to look forward to? Don't we all want hope? A man without hope, to me, is a man that will die. We all need goals and confident hope. And without true hope, we truly become miserable and lost and forlorn. So my assertion and insertion is that we need goals for life. Being hopeful is to prosper. It supports our need to look ahead and not behind, and to know that we have a duty to serve the Lord and knowing that we have indeed a call on our lives in Him. And it's supported by this verse in Philippians again, chapter 3, verse 13. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own, but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind, and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ. Hence, as I stated in the beginning, do not look behind, but look forward. Forget what has already happened, but strain forward, strive towards the goal that God has put in us, that He has infused in us. It is a calling of Christ Jesus. That is what we are to live for. And that's why we can say to die to ourself is to gain, to die to self is to gain because we come alive in Christ Jesus. We come alive because the love is magnified, the hope is magnified, our purposes are magnified. Everything becomes magnified when we link up with Christ. John chapter 6, verse 27 reads, do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his

Clean Conscience And New Beginnings

Dina LaFargue Augustin 33:32

seal. Yes, we are sealed in Christ Jesus. We have eternal life in Christ Jesus. We're not to strive for things that will be left behind when we die. We are not to focus on only what we can touch in this earthly realm, but we are to live for that spiritual life, the light that is rich in Christ, the life that is full with his love, with his truth, and the everlasting. The next is point five. Philippians chapter 4, verse 11 and 12. Read, I have learned to be content in any circumstance. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In all situations, I have learned the secret of being well-fed and hungry, of abundance and need. And I will insert this fact that we are all better when we are all able to maintain self-control, a sense of discipline, not allowing our emotions, our emotions to uh get the best of us or to provoke us into acting out or doing things or saying things that we cannot undo or take back. We can be very reckless when we live in our emotions, in fear, in rage, in self-pity, in brokenness. But in Christ, we can learn to be content and self-controlled. We can learn to abound in peace despite the traumas and the circumstances that surround us. He says, His peace is the peace beyond all understanding. The article goes on to say, those who follow Jesus don't always have an easy life. No, we will struggle. But again, in Hebrews it reads, The Lord is my helper. I shall not fear. What can man do to me? Let's read Psalm 118. Let those who fear the Lord say his love endures forever. When heart pressed, I cried to the Lord, and he brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid. What can your mortals do to me? The Lord is with me, he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies. Hence all my trying circumstances. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. So where we might have hope in a president or a leader, God says, trust in him. When things seem to be failing in our society, when we are led by bosses that seem not to know how to run their organization, God says, look to him and trust in him. He is our source, He gives us strength. He gives us answers, he gives us guidance, he leads us by the right hand of his righteousness. He is the way, he is our hope. We are not to rely on our own understanding, we are not to trust in mere men. But yes, God will use men to help us, but we'll know that when we are linked with him. The sixth on the list is that Jesus gives

Freedom, Healing, And A Call For 2026

Dina LaFargue Augustin 37:09

us someone to worship. And I will add that many of us put our hope in men and we idolize men. Many are idolizing Trump in office, many idolize former presidents, many idolize the lives of the rich and famous, many idolize stars and singers and rap artists. But there is one and only one that owns everything, that made everything, that is in control truly of everything, that is truly worthy of being adored, that is worthy of being followed, that is worthy of being worshipped, worthy of being believed and bowed down to. And that is Jesus Christ. Matthew 28, verse 9. When the disciples of Jesus met Jesus after his resurrection, they held him by the feet and worshiped him. The apostle Peter didn't let Cornelius, one of the most uh noteworthy soldiers of the Roman army, Peter said, Don't bow to me. Cornelius met him and fell at his feet and worshiped him because of the miracle that Jesus had performed through Peter, but Peter made him get up and said, Stand. I am only a man myself. But Jesus was more than man. He was man and God. He is fully man and fully God. And you only have to read the scriptures to know. He says, I and the Father are one. And in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And nothing was made without Him. Everything that was seen and unseen was made by Him, the Living Word, and the Living Word is the light of men. And we only have to recognize Him. Let's not live in darkness. For it says the dark perceived it not, perceived Him not, but let us perceive the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord and the Maker and the author of our lives. And verse seven, or the list, the number seven on the list, is that Jesus gives us a clear conscience. First Peter chapter three and verse eighteen. This was also symbolized by the salvation of those in Noah's Ark. In explaining this, the Apostle Peter says in 1 Peter chapter 3, Baptism which now saves us, not the cleansing of filth of the flesh, but the answer of good conscience toward God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ who was gone into heaven. Hence the first baptism. Baptism was symbolized by Noah's Ark. The real baptism was in giving our lives to Christ, turning away from our flesh, and surrendering our flesh, surrendering our desires, surrendering our preferences, surrendering our rebelliousness to Christ. We become new creations in Christ Jesus. We have new beginnings in Christ Jesus. We can develop new thought processes in Christ Jesus, new mindsets in Christ Jesus, new perceptions in Christ Jesus. And they are all good. The article continues. We can believe that because Jesus died for us and rose for us, we can believe in Him and repent of our sins. We can be baptized for the forgiveness of our sins. And we can read that in Acts chapter 2. Our conscience will be clean and clear, and with the Holy Spirit to help, we will be able to keep it that way. You'll see we can do nothing worthy on our own. We cannot be healed on our own. And yes, there are counselors that can help us, there are psychologists that can guide us and get to the root of our problems, but the true healer is in Christ. The true love comes through Christ. It says that we confess our sins. God is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We have an advocate with the Father. We have an advocate in Christ Jesus, the righteous one. And he himself is the atonement for our sins, and not only for ours, but for those of the whole world. And that can be read in 1 John chapter 1. So there is a way out of our misery. Many of us live in torment and bitterness and unforgiveness and in confusion because we fail to recognize that we have the love of God, the help of God, the friendship of God, the Father in God, the friend in God, the helper and comforter in God. We live in utter confusion about the purpose of our lives and carry burdens that we do not need to carry because Jesus died that we be set free. In Luke, it is recaptured and surmised in one verse that originates in the book of Isaiah, that speaks to the purpose of Christ Jesus, that speaks to how we are free in Christ and new in him, delivered from the bondage of addictions, torment, and afflictions of all kinds and the utmost damnation. And it reads, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. 2026 can be a most powerful year if we do it with Christ. 2026 can be a prosperous year if we do it in Christ. If we want to prosper and navigate successfully through the trials and the testing of our faith, if we want to navigate successfully towards an optimum future, the steps towards reaching our natural goals and our spiritual goals,

Closing Blessing And Charge
