No. One of my favorite scriptures is “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Mt. 6:33) My GOD is not a God about fear. I’m blessed to have the PEACE of GOD within Me that passeth all understanding.

Knowing that “Age is the dawn of Wisdom” is empowering. I’m a Seeker of Truth and I realize that we need a
knowledge of the way our mind works. Which will enable us to fulfill our desires. As a person thinks, feels and believes, so is the condition of his mind, body and circumstances. I Have come to a point of Awakening and I’m thrilled to have the confidence to Share the Heavenly Knowledge that has been given to me from My Heavenly Father.
