Stories (for Teaching)
Steve is using this page to share stories he feels would be helpful or necessary to the journey of full human transformation.
Some stories are great for opening debates & dialogues, & some stories are great for bringing a point home & closing a point. Many of these stories are to illustrate a point & not to change around a story & debate it.
There is a story for every occasion. Tell the proper story and the favors of heaven open. Tell an inappropriate story and watch the heaven’s gates close on you and the walls start to crumble in around you. Proceed with caution when you share your stories.
Key:
(cs)= Common Sense
(s)= Spirituality
(ss)= Sixth Sense
SL Agreed to All of These.
