## Resource

For many years I believed if trials were happening in my life I was doing something wrong. In the New Age, I thought I needed to do more shadow work and clear my energy. In propserity gospel Christianity, I believed I needed to fight harder by naming and claiming more promises. Both are true to an extent -- but both leave out the necessary importance of how God used the enemy to prepare Jesus for his destiny. In this Just Jesus Wednesday meeting, we discuss the perspective shift of friction and how it's GOOD if we let it be. What if the trials you're facing are being used to refine you, heal you, teach you to step into your authority to fulfill your destiny?
