Forgive Your Enemies in 2013!

An understanding of the invisible and unseen nature of demonic warfare and spiritual attack is an important answer to your ability to forgive your enemies. Your parents, relatives

Finally Free!

Finally Free!

peers, spouses, significant others, co-workers, teachers, policeman, etc. are all under the authority and power of Satan if they are not born again. It is important to realize that those you love can hinder your spiritual growth, especially if you are yoked together with an unbeliever. Even a carnal Christian opens the door to a demon using him or her against you if he or she is not walking in love. Jesus was able to forgive His enemies from the cross based upon their ignorance of spiritual warfare. As the crowd yelled for Barabas to be spared, the Lord’s spiritual eyes were opened to discern that the power behind that crowd were the bulls of Bashan and the dogs that surrounded Him. (Psalm 22:12-16)

The bulls and the dogs are metaphors for ferocious demons that were invisible to everyone except the Lord. The Lord died for His enemies because God so love the world that

He sacrificed His Son so that no human being would have to be eternally lost. As you consider this revelation, you can ask yourself whether or not your hatred of your enemies is so strong

that you would desire that they would perish eternally. In other words, does your enemies’ attack on you or yours justify that they should spend all of eternity in hell when Jesus died for

them that they might go to heaven. Are you bold and stubborn enough to defy the Lord for one of those that He has died for and has commanded you to un-deceive  with your preaching and

your testimony?

Jonah is a classic example in the Bible of a judgmental, unforgiving person. He preferred that 120,000 enemies of God enter into eternal damnation. Even though Jonah knew that the Father

 loved the people of Nineveh so much that ordered Jonah to go and preach to  them, Jonah hardened His heart against the Lord’s will and ended up in the belly of a whale for His disobedience.

Jesus commands you to pray for your enemies. Your prayer should come out of His desire  that those whom He has chosen who were deceived into accepting the fake Jesus as their lord should be undeceived and come to a knowledge of the truth.

When you pray for your enemies in this manner, the love of God that was shed in your heart by the Holy Spirit at the moment of your rebirth will rise big within

you and will restore your soul. Otherwise, the Lord could prepare a special whale just for you in 2013!

At RESCUE, we are called to undeceive the elect as well as to be an online place of refuge for those whom the Holy Spirit has led out of the institutional church. We are also called to deliver those who have come out both damaged and demonized.  So give us a call at 518-477-5759

Evil Faith and False Hope

The bible defines faith as the substance of things hoped for.  So when considering evil faith, we need to concentrate on false hope. According to Jessie Penn-Lewis in “War on the Saints,” evil faith is a compulsion to “believe”which comes from evil spirits.  She makes an interesting point that even though the enemy may attack our shield of faith, this does not mean that the faith he is attacking is true faith. It has been my experience that when I came under the strongest attack, it was a counter-espionage type move, wherein the religious fallen angel assigned to me, attacked the faith that he himself inspired in me through false hope. Certainly religious spirits fight against true faith, but as the woman of God pointed out, we must examine and know the nature of the faith that is in us.  Is it of God by His Spirit, or does it emanate from our mind our will, or our personal desire?  Simply put, is its origin from us or from God? (p 275- 9th edition, unabridged version.)

Faith also comes by hearing, and hearing, by the word of God.  Was the Apostle Paul referring to the Bible?  Absolutely not!  The bible was not printed for 1500 years AFTER Paul wrote those words to the Hebrew Christians.  I believe the word of God in this instance is the revelation knowledge of the Holy Ghost, spoken to our spirits, interpreted in our minds and acted upon by the use of our wills. ” In other words, if we do not hear from God in the spirit, how can we have godly hopes that produce  true faith? Contrarily, evil faith is produced by the messages and revelation of evil spirits that comes forth as a result of giving credence to their words that we hear as messages we believe came from God.

I can look back now and recognize that I was sent messages from both God and the enemy.  Divinely sent hope and false hope produced both evil faith and true faith within me.  Here are a few examples, starting with the evil side first.

Prior to my salvation in 1977, I was very much the skeptic and the pessimist. Consequently, I did not  entertain any fantasies about soul mate and getting married.  In fact, I preferred dating married men for I rationalized, “if he cheats, it will be on his wife and not me.  Therefore, I won’t have to harm him or his goods.”  However, once I was born again, the enemy sent prophecies, visions and dreams that  declared I would be blessed with a husband who would be my spiritual partner in ministry.  These messages produced a compulsive, evil hope that fueled the wrong kind of  faith. In fact, evil faith  led me to sin with some and marry 2 different  husbands sent from the enemy to destroy me. In spite of my failures, the Lord delivered me from all enemies.

On the divine side, about 10 years ago,  I was shown that I would be inheriting from my grandmother’s estate.  I did not fully understand the dream at the time because my uncle Richie was alive and still living in Grammie’s home for 20 years after her death. Since her house was her entire estate, I did not understand how I could inherit  until Richie, my mother’s brother died.  I thought “Oh, this must have been the meaning of the dream.” However a week after Richie’s passing, Grammie’s heirs discovered that Richie had influenced Grammie to sign a will that left him her entire estate.  I contacted 5 different lawyers who all said the same thing.  The will was valid and we could not win the case.

Yet, divine hope triggered true faith.  Why? Because  I believed on the dream–that I would receive my rightful portion.  My faith led to works, for I became the pro se lawyer on the case, and with the help of God, I  proved in court what professional, seasoned  lawyers swore was impossible—-  undue influence and testamentary capacity.  It took 7 years, but by true faith, I would not be dissuaded or deterred.  When I won, victory has also come  to those heirs who did not contest.

 I received the check on Friday, July 13th, 2012, My uncle Richie’s birthday!!!

Since there are 364 other days that victory could have been achieved, how do I interpret this amazing event?

 With true faith, no weapon the enemy formed against me prospered.  My enemy was not my Uncle Richie.  Evil spirits simply used  his greed to block my inheritance.  The fact that I received the check on his birthday, seven years after his death— is divine proof that God is the author and finisher of my faith in this instance.

Why Deliverance Counseling? YOU MUST DISOWN THE GROUND

When I developed the Christian counseling model called “deliverance counseling,” I explained the reason for its existence in the book “FACES OF THE RELIGIOUS dEMON: Freedom Through Deliverance Counseling.”  However, as I reading through “War on the Saints,” I found a quote written at least 100 years ago that explains deliverance counseling better than I can.  So here is the phenomenal quote of woman of God, Jessie Penn-Lewis:

“It has been thought almost  universally, that the only way to deal with demon possession is by casting out the evil spirit, by some divinely equipped believer.  But facts prove that this method is not always successful, for though the diagnosis of the intruder’s presence may be correct yet THE GROUND THAT GAVE IT OCCUPATION CANNOT BE CAST OUT; and unless the ground is dealt with, no full relief can be obtained, or change seen, in the majority of cases.”

In others, when the evil spirit apparently departs, it must not be concluded that the person is entirely free, for it may be that what has occurred is only THAT A PARTICULAR MANIFESTATION HAS CEASED, and it is not unlikely that another manifestation may appear; possibly not a visible one, or one easily perceived or detected, but recognizable by ANY WHO HAVE LEARNED TO DISCRIMINATE between the workings of evil spirits, and those which are human or divine.

It is possible also to suppress a certain manifestation for a time, and not entirely get rid of it; and the SAME manifestation may return again and again in DIFFERENT GUISE, UNLESS THE GROUND IS DEALT WITH.

Where the demon has a distinctive personality that is different and even contrary to its captive, its presence is obvious.  So when it is cast out, the captive knows he or she is free because the relief is immediate.

However, where the demon’s essence cannot be distinguished from the captive, it is hidden and can appear to be a natural property of the captive.

In such cases, truth should be presented FIRST, and the WILL of the captive should be strengthened so that he or she can refuse and DISOWN THE GROUND.” (page 180)

In a nutshell, Jessie Penn- Lewis has succinctly presented the case as to why I do not practice deliverance ministry and why I have developed a deliverance counseling model.

A Word of Warning To Endtime Teachers

Absolutely, no one believer has ALL the truth.  Yet even if there is one little error or lie in  the light we have been given, then we are deceived.

The biblical warning rings true.  Be not many masters for YOURS is the greater condemnation.

This warning is to me first and others later, as I too study and teach about endtimes.  In fact, my book “the New Idolatry” is  about the last days. Yet my approach is somewhat “different” as I focus on  uncovering  Satan’s real endtime  agenda. In that regard,  I remain neutral on  biblical symbols and timelines, particularly those that  I do not  yet understand. Nevertheless,  when I look around at those who are teaching about endtimes in books and  on the Internet, I see clearly how the religious demon that the bible calls “the spirit of the Anti-Christ” has taken advantage of and capitalized upon the misunderstandings of various self-proclaimed, renigade teachers’ misunderstandings or mis-interpretations of truth.

As one example of many, some teachers materialize what is meant to be spiritual, figurative or symbolic while  spiritualizing  what is meant to be material or actual.  Take 666—the number of the beast.  Some are teaching that there is an actual number that Satan’s people  will equate to or be marked with  666.  Well, if this be the case, I am already branded as one of my significant numbers has 3 6’s in it.  Look around and you will find your own 666—your birthday, your credit card or social security number as an example.  Others spiritualize this number with highly confusing and complicated meanings.

 Does ANYBODY really know what the actual mark of the beast is?

No!

Why not?

 Because it is not time to know.  When the hour comes upon us, all in the know “shall know” as it will be obvious and clear.

Premature interpretations that are emphatically presented as absolute truths yet the teaching is in error provide demonic doorways to seducing spirits to use us to teach  doctrines of devils. Some are even hearing voices, dreaming endtime scenarios with timelines of the Loord’s return— messages they automatically assumed were the voice of God, when they actually heeded a message from a fallen angel.  If you are hung-up on an enemy-sent  error, your willful stubborness and lack of flexibility provide  opportunities to deceive  to  both fallen angels and religious demons. Here is the deal. Just because you come in contact with 2 or 3, even 3000 people that agree with your revelation of the bible’s endtime  symbols or timelines does not mean that your interpretation is correct.  For the devil knows how to send the same lie to 3 million people, much less 2 or 3. Consequently, those who study and teach others about the end of days need to be absolutely sure that their prophecies and predictions did not come from the enemy.Otherwise, enhance your vocabulary by using expressions like “it could be, maybe, I think so, and don’t be ashamed of “I don’t know.”

For whenever we say “thus saith the Lord,” we are held both accountable and responsible for the damage that we cause.

You know them by their fruit.  If you became afraid even terrorized by a prophet or  a teacher’s endtime word, then he or she did not receive it from the Lord.  For Jesus said to His elect “Be not afraid.”

Woe Be Unto Us For Preaching a Powerless Gospel!

I preached  sermon after sermon  from a denominational pulpit for 25 years. For 10 years as a travelling evangelist, I preached an average of 30 sermons a year.  However the 15 years as a pastor, I preached at least 720 sermons a year.  Consider also that I watched others sermonize for as much as 20 times a year for 20 years.

Consequently, I have seen the work and met the souls up front and personal.  Yet sad to say,  I can only remember how the human presentation of the unfathomable victory and power of Cavalry and the Lord’s empty tomb has blurred and even watered down the gospel message to such an extent, that it has spiritually thrown multitudes off the track to a solid and steadfast conversion and rebirth. In fact, when I look back in reflexion, I am horrified by the disastrous  confusion produced by ALL of us preaching every conceivably human experience other than Jesus Christ of Nazareth crucified and raised from the dead.

Early in my preaching days, the Lord spoke to me in a dream and said ever so kindly, “Pam, don’t forget to call my name in your sermon on Sunday morning.” I could have been embarrassed but instead, I was deeply convicted.

I never forgot to call His name yet when I preached the resurrection, it seemed like everyone, including other ministers, were in a state of total religious blindness!!!!

As a seasoned preacher, I realize today that the problem with behind the pulpit sermonizing is the mind of the preacher.  The enemy has done a masterful job in calling preachers whose minds are unclear about what being raised from the dead means.  For as the serpent beguiled Eve, the mind behind the pulpit in this hour is corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

It is a fearfully blasphemous thing to hinder the Holy Ghost from reaching those whom the Lord called and chose for Himself before the worlds were framed.

Woe be to all who scatter His flock by not preaching in every single sermon, the power of the Lord’s resurrection to raise the dead spirits into eternal life.

You can’t preach what you do not understand.  If you do not understand the Lord’s resurrection, you need to watch the video above.

  Calls will be received at 518-477-5759.

To Die In Christ: What Does It Mean?

My first date. I was 18 and a freshman at SUNYA. this was my first boyfriend! lol

In Christ since 1977, I have learned “a thing or two” concerning  what it means to be crucified in Him, yet still be  alive. Keeping it simple, I have learned that  to die in Christ is to look for or expect nothing  for self.

I expect to be misunderstood by some  with this post. I ignore the swine  and cast  my pearls to  those who hunger to press on to perfection in Him.

So this is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long!

June 198o. Landed my best job in state govt in the field of corrections. Worked it for 17 years while I was also in ministry in an AA denomination. I was on lunch break! lol

I knew early on in life  that I was supposed to be “special,” perhaps famous. Intellectually, I aspired to be a college professor at the master’s degree  level. I was blocked.  Then there was  my beauty.  It caused people to think me the next  Lena Horne or the Halle Berry of my generation.  Instead, I entered into state government. Once there, I strived to be the top dog–a Commissioner or a Director but God did not allow it, blocking me at every turn.Consequently,  I remained in middle management, writing reports and  letters for the Governor’s signature. I learned how to serve others.

 When I entered into ministry, I did not know what to expect.  Confronted in my dreams  by a religious demon, the Lord allowed him to  put me  to the test.  I received several dreams  that showed me that  I was to pastor a mega church of thousands. I saw myself, strutting across a platform bible in hand, teaching countless people, on a par with Juanita Bynum, Paula White or even Joyce Meyer. On the real,  when opportunities DID present themselves, doors were immediately shut tight. Since   I was well deceived, believing these messages of ministerial fame were from the Lord, it was the enemy’s intention that I would first be frustrated, and ultimately be so disappointed that I would  “curse God and die..”

When your aspirations and expectations for self glory  are high, and  they are not achieved, many wallow about feeling like failures.  However, if you are crucified in Christ, none of it matters because for you, only Christ is gain.  The world and its attainments become as dung.  Garbage.  Waste.

Not once did I feel like a failure when my enemy given aspirations came to naught.  For in the ongoing process of the “test”, I lost all desire for self acclaim.  I came to see that one can chase a thousand but two can chase 10,000.  By revelation knowledge, I came to be satisfied in my place in His body, desiring nothing for myself.  I accept that while I live, my job  is to prepare others to swing the mighty blow against the foe. The fruit of my life-long test is that WHO does the Lord’s work does not matter. How the work is done is no longer any consequence to me. My personality has buried personal ambition and so I am crucified in Christ, nevertheless I live.  Yet not I.  It is Christ who lives in me.

How does He live in me? I have lost personal ambition.  My lack of ambition is neither passivity or laziness, for I am always ready to take action. Yet my soul is so united to the Lord, that I rest from the complexities of making this or that decision as I simply accept the choice of the Holy Ghost. Since I am bold and unafraid, the ambitious in ministry are often “intimidated” so they often make fruitless and useless attacks when I touch upon one of their pet religious peeves. Yet a crucified person is never offended by critics. Why?  Because we want for nothing. Therefore. I receive the petty  blows with a quiet spirit as I shake the dust and move on.

In fact, people believe that I am very busy but I work without feeling like I am working. For when I write a book, a blog, counsel, mentor or teach and train, I am doing what I

8DB1F983-A1DC-4A20-A955-5363A7395849

Here I am at 75!

love to do. Whenever, God decides to  sit me down, I will accept His decision and simply enjoy the rest of the life that He allows me to have.

Then again, when you are crucified with Christ, you become an eternal person.  You live your  life as though it  does not stop with your last breath on earth.  This is how I live today.  I don’t sweat the fact that more than half my life is over.. Why? Because with every word I write in a book or a blog, with every audio or video message that I produce, I am planting seed for generations to come. It does not matter if I achieve glory while I live.  I don’t live for self glory.What matters is “the fruit.”  As a book written by the dead was used by God to un-deceive me, then when I am gone, my books will remain for the living when I have passed over. In her book, “War on the Saints,” Jessie Penn- Lewis became my deliverer in 2003 though she died in 1915. So I rest in peace while I yet  live out my remaining years, because I too have planted seed into the earth.

In the meantime, the Lord may desire to use me to help YOU.  Don’t be embarrassed or proud about that.  Pride goes before a fall.Some of you want to remain independent.  I understand that.  I too am independent  and I will never again submit to any religious authority.  Even so, I realize that the work we all do independently must come together  like a well-knitted tapestry, as none of us is an island unto ourselves.  We are the Body Of Christ.  He is the Head. The part I play is crucial.  I am like a drill sergeant who prepares the troops for war.

 So just give me a call.  I will not judge you.  In fact, whatever you are going through, I have probably been tested or tempted in that area over the last 35 years in Him.  So give me a call at 888-818-1117 or email me at rescueonfb@icloud.com

The Supernatural, Witchcraft and the Christian

Those whom the Lord saves who were accustomed to supernatural experiences like telekinesis, poltergeist and other magical  types of manifestations will try to explain such phenomena  with scriptures. They rationalize and continue to believe that  psychic phenomena  are  the gift of miracles.

For example, I was just born again a year or so when I spoke to a storm and it seemed that I stopped it.   It was one of those summer storms.  My clothes were drying on an outside line and I had just settled down in my backyard in a lawn chair with a cool drink when the sky got dark and the winds kicked up.  I stood up, spoke directly to the storm and commanded it to leave.  I kid you not, it rained all around my backyard, but not a drop fell where I dwelled.  The sun came back out, shined only above  me, while the entire neighborhood was flooded with rain. It was quite a deluge.  So of course, I connected this incident to the Lord speaking to a storm and what He said about speaking to mountains as my biblical “confirmation.   I look back now and I realize that this manifestation was not from God.  The motive?  To make me  into a signs and wonders, charismatic freak. The fallen angel responsible was quite successful.  It didn’t take much to turn me into granola—a fruit, a nut and a flake!

Here is the crux of the problem.  As a product of New Age occultism, Christians with psychic phenomena  in their past remain ignorant of the deception of the mighty foe.  So once born again, each of us has been assigned a religious/witchcraft spirit entity whose job is to seek every opportunity to buffet us with counterfeits of the gifts of the Holy Ghost that seem to be from God..   The assigned fallen angel or demon waits for an element of the flesh  to manifest itself in the new believer, in order to gain his master’s end.  The Apostle Paul calls that aspect of our flesh by the name of witchcraft.  Like Simon the Sorcerer, we carry in our flesh a lust for the supernatural that the enemy works with. Since  occultists are trained to expect the supernatural, hidden in our flesh remains the same desire AFTER we are saved.

How did I overcome? My story is in “Come Out of Her, God’s People.”

 I experienced  many dealings of the flesh—many trials, tribulations and tests.

Being put to death in the flesh goes on and on.  Overcoming was not finished in one mighty stroke.  The Holy Spirit covered all bases, first dealing  with my ambition for the 3 p’s of prestige, prominence and power.   What helped me is that even when I was a sinner, ,  I was  a lover of the truth.  So I became one who sought spiritual truth at all cost. Also,  as Paul was assigned a religious demon–a thorn in his flesh–to develop him, so was I.

 I am a overcomer because my religious demon presented me with trials and temptations  to overcome. From 1977-2003, —26 years–the religious demon was in the driver’s seat  regarding charismatic manifestations. I was completely duped.  yet in 2003—, once I prayed “Lord, show me the darkness that is around me,”—  all things continue to be exposed.

In every test, I had the choice of going down and being crushed by the spirit of the anti-christ  or rising up in spirit victory.  I ROSE UP!

Astrology is Nothing But Divination and So Is Charismatic Witchcraft

Have you ever wondered why astrology is forbidden in the bible as an abomination to God?  Having once been an astrologer back in the 70’s, I will venture a guess.

Astrology is one of many forms of divination.  Divination is simply “fortune-telling” or making prognostications with pieces of information–probabilities and possibilities— that are not exact knowledge.

To please God, we must trust Him by walking by faith and not by sight.  To seek  to know the future is to “not trust God.” Simple.

  Furthermore, behind every act of divination are several assigned demons or fallen angels.  These spirit entities have been around a lot longer than human beings.  They live in a realm where the past, present and the future are a continuum and time is not bound by our linear expectations.  So angels and demons have the capacity to reach into the future or reach back to the past and reveal bits of potential truth to the seeker.  However, pulling out a segment of the future and presenting it before its time can have disastrous consequences.

In “the New Idolatry“ you will find these words concerning divination in the Institutional Church:

Divination within the organized church community is aimed at controlling the lives and destinies of gullible people. Pulpits are filled with diviners and soothsayers–charismatic type hype masters —-that have no other message but one that caters to our flesh.  Like the astrologers, the card layers and such, the divination of old has progressively worsened in our time because the church community is now flooded with false prophets who the ignorant seek “for a personal word from God.” These pseudo messengers leave devastated people in their paths. As they prophesy presumptuously in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, declaring things that He has NOT spoken to them, is comparable to New Age divination.”

The Danger of Denying Your Own Will

There is a Christian school of thought that teaches  believers  that in order  to be pleasing to God, we must deny our own will.  Many quote the Lord’s words while He was on earth when He often made it plain that He came to do the Father’s will and not His own. How was the will of Jesus different from the will of His Fathers? We will never know from the bible because He never discussed it.  We can speculate that while  He was in the garden of Gethsemane and began to sweat drops like blood, the Lord’s  human will was struggling with His impending death on the cross and the Father’s desire that He become sin and be briefly separated from Him.  Jesus  took control of His human will by submitting it to the will of His Father.

Recently a Facebook self-proclaimed teacher wrote the following: I died to self when I find out that the real enemy, far worst than the devil himself, is my own thoughts. The Bible says our carnal mind is enmity against God (Rom 8:7). My thought pattern makes up for who I am. As a man thinketh so is he (Psalm 23:7). It means who I am is the enemy of who God is.”

 A facebooker with more than 3000 professing Christian  friends, this is a person who is teaching when she needs to be taught. Actually, her words  describe the condition of professing Christians who are NOT born again.” Such a teaching suggests that the author  has experienced a counterfeit birth herself  and that she  is functioning by the power of her soul and not her regenerated spirit.

Yet her teaching that I am struggling with the most is the implication that  we are to be transformed to a state where we have no human will at all.  Is that really God’s intent? My question is “Why give us a will if He desires to be in complete control over it?” I can answer this question.  In the fall of mankind, contamination of the human soul set in. The carnal mind, of which the human will is but a part, became at enmity with God and is therefore un-reliable.   Yet, a major purpose of the cross was to prepare the way to replace the carnal mind with the mind of Christ, available to all those who become “born again.” As long as we are not conformed to this world,  the totality of the soul, which includes both the mind, emotions and the will can be renewed, as we work out its salvation with fear and trembling throughout the course of our earthly lives in Him.

So  how does the will itself become “renewed” yet not destroyed?

I believe that if God desired to be in complete control of the human will, He would have created a robot.  Though not robots, angels are somewhat  “robotic” in nature. Their creation is controlled, either by God or by Satan.  Individualism and self-will  seem  not to be permitted in their creation.  Yet we are allowed to bow to the beat of our own drum— free to worship ourselves.

Yet if it were not for our capacity to control our own will, Satan would possess us.  Herein lies the danger. To have the mind of Christ does not mean that your own mind is done away with.  If so, how could you choose whether to have bacon and eggs for breakfast or a bowl of corn flakes?   You would not be able to choose unless you absolutely knew God’s divine will on the matter.  That example may sound ridiculous but when you consider what is going on in sincere but mindless Christianity, you might want to reconsider.  Christians are looking for God to choose their church, their friends,  their mate, their occupation, even the kind of car that they drive.  Since God gave us a human will to make such choices, guess who steps in and mimics the voice of God? When you let the devil choose FOR you, then he is the one who is guiding your steps, and not the Holy Ghost.  The Holy Ghost is called the Helper and not the Controller or the Possessor.

Here is the good news.  Once you are born again, you are no longer a victim to your own carnal mind, which is a synonym for the flesh.  If you walk in the spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts and desires of the carnal mind. You HAVE at the moment of your rebirth, the mind of Christ to enlighten YOUR mind and to empower YOUR human will. A mind that is controlled by the spirit is a “spiritual mind.” The spiritual mind is sober and open to the things of God. As we walk in the spirit, the spiritual mind overshadows the carnal mind.

If you would like to learn the difference between the soul and the spirit, how the 2 are divided from each other, how to walk in the spirit, the power of the cross and the resurrection, all of our membership levels provide  courses of study that  will be of great benefit to your spiritual growth and development.
