Understanding Voices Pastor Charles Omofomah
There Are Many Voices in the World
As I said earlier, voices are formed by what you see and hear. This is a very simple but profound truth about life. What you see and hear speak to you continually. Let me give an example.

Protect your heart from sources of negative voices like endless causes of barrenness and sicknesses, likely consequences of past actions like
