WEEK 22 – YIELDED TO THE SPIRIT

Letting the Holy Spirit Govern Within

This week does not introduce new practices. It deepens posture.

The aim is to help believers release inner control, stop emotionally negotiating with God, and allow the Holy Spirit to govern responses, decisions, pace, and rest.

The Holy Spirit does not only walk with me — He leads me.
