The energy of unforgiveness wraps around you and binds you to the people and the negative circumstances you have experienced in the past. As the old energy hardens it will block the flow of God's blessings into your life. Set yourself free today.…

Carey: Actually our Second Legacy - UNITY is NOT that we share a common problem, that is just one element, but that in itself would never of held us together...It's OUR COMMON SOLUTION that binds us in UNITY.

Set yourself free today. Take the time to forgive yourself and the others involved in this situation.

Call forth the power of love to transmute this old energy.
Ask God to bring forth to all involved the healing and deliverance from anger, hurt and fear that is needed at thi… Continue

Our Third Legacy, Service offers us the opportunity to i… Continue
