Does this matter? Why? Do you ask yourself that question? Often? Answer: (in my world of definitions) If the Holy Spirit is active in your life… active not just resides, then the answer to the question is – yes. If you are led by the Spirit, if He has a ‘voice’ in your life then

I’ve heard, as most of you have, the phrase (paraphrased) that it’s your tests that give you a testimony. Believe this? A different spin on this was one I heard from Joyce Meyer: you don’t know what you believe until it’s tested! How true. I believe that our faith, our beliefs find their confirmation when
