HINDERING SPIRITS_ SELF-SABOTAGE

Dr. Bell continues her teaching from the book of James, emphasizing the need for self-awareness in our relationship with God. She highlights how we can sometimes become so caught up in our desires that we mistakenly believe God is obligated to fulfill them. We often attribute every event or outcome in our lives to God's will, even when our decisions were made without seeking His guidance. Dr. Bell points out that we may enter into relationships or situations that bring us pain and then blame God for the consequences, forgetting that He may not have been the author of those choices. She underscores the importance of discerning the difference between following our own desires and aligning with God's plan, as our personal wishes might lead us away from His intended path.
