You think you're okay when really all you've done is gotten used to the darkness.

Dr Tony Evans says it's time to bring some light into your situation.

You can't clean fellowship with God while operating in a dark sphere.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior

I'd like to suggest to you that whatever breach is existing in your walk with God is not because God has moved. That he is in the same spot. In 1st John Chapter 1,

visibly seen Jesus Christ. They didn't do what the disciples did when they walked with Jesus.
