Seeing in the Spirit has become a much more popular topic of conversation after great men like Michael Van Vlymen and Blake Healy have pioneered the trail by boldly sharing their experiences (you can find their amazing books here and

I love testimonies that break down the walls formulas attempt to build around our hearts.  Formulas bring turmoil and anxiety with them as we try and fit everything into neat little boxes.  I went through a season in my life where I tried to depend on formulas.  Sometimes they actually worked and it was great.  But the times they didn’t  and those were stressful times.
