Trauma-Responsive Pulpit Series: The Power of Repentance

Welcome to today's message and teaching on behalf of Reflective Spaces Ministry. I am Tammy Toney-Butler, and I will be delivering to you this word of truth. So grab your Bibles, your notepads, and let's begin. We will be discussing today the power of repentance. Spiritual sackcloth. Holy Spirit, come have your way in this time that we have together. Lord Jesus, let them see you and not me. Let them remember your words. Let any blinders be removed. Any veils be lifted. So that they can hear and act on this word today. For you have a message for your people. And help me to deliver it in your truth. Your words. Let them see you. Your love, your mercy, your grace, and also your judgment. Let them understand the urgency of the hour and the need to follow you in all that they do. For the darkness is great. But you are the light. And you are greater. So let them anchor into you the word of truth. And be delivered this day. Out of Egypt. Out of bondage. Following. Their true creator. Abba Fa. the God of our precious Lord Jesus. And it's in his name that we deliver this word of truth and we pray. Amen. Again, the power of repentance, spiritual sackcloth. The teaching and message is by me, Tammy Toni Butler. Today's scriptural references Jonah 3, Ezekiel 7, 1 Chronicles 7, 2 Timothy 2. Now let's begin with Jonah 3. Pride, Selfishness, and Humility. We're going to be reading out of the Life Application Study Bible, the New International Version, Jonah 3. Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time. Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you. Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now, Nineveh was a very important city. A visit required three days. On the first day Jonah started into the city, he proclaimed, 40 more days and Nineveh will be overturned. The Ninevites believed God. They declared a fast and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. When the news reached the king of Nineveh, He rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat down in the dust. Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles. Do not let any man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything. Do not let them eat or drink, but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish. When God saw what they did, And how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened. And what are the mega things? Sovereignty of God, God's message to the world, repentance and God's compassion. Let's look at the conditions on the ground in Jonah 3. Assyria was a great empire full of evil. Israel's most dreaded enemy. Flaunted their power before God and the world with profound cruelty. God's judgment was necessary. Let's continue to look at the conditions on the ground. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh. Assyria's capital, and call the people to repent, preaching only what God told him. Jonah at first disobeyed God, but eventually obeyed and preached God's powerful message to the people. Conditions on the ground. The people believed God would bring judgment if they did not repent and turn back to him. The people in a unified effort fasted. The people in a unified effort fasted, put on sackcloth, and the king, their leader, put on sackcloth and sat down in the dust like ashes. The king called for the people to urgently plead to God by calling out, giving up their evil, violent ways, repenting, hoping to have God turn from his anger, showing mercy, grace, and compassion and sparing them. God did exactly that and spared them after they repented and turned back to God. And again, using the Life Application Study Bible Commentary there, a new international version, page 1563 as a reference. Now let's look at Ezekiel 7, a spiritual heart condition. And we will be reading out of the Life Application Study Bible, the New International Version. It's entitled, The End Has Come. The word of the Lord came to me. Son of man, this is what the sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel. The end. The end has come upon the four corners of the land. The end is now upon you and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. I will not look on you with pity or spare you. I will surely repay you for your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that I am the Lord. This is what the sovereign Lord says, disaster. An unheard of disaster is coming. The end has come. The end has come. It has roused itself against you. It has come. Doom has come upon you. You who dwell in the land. The time has come. The day is near. There's panic, not joy upon the mountains. I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct. and repay you for all your detestable practices. I will not look on you with pity or spare you. I will repay you in accordance with your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who strikes the blow. The day is here. It has come. Doom has burst forth. The rod has budded. Arrogance has blossomed. Violence has grown into a rod to punish wickedness. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd. No wealth, nothing of value. The time has come. The day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for wrath is upon the whole crowd. The seller will not recover the land he has sold as long as both of them live, for the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve his life. Though they blow the trumpet and get everything ready, no one will go into battle, for my wrath is upon the whole crowd. Outside is the sword, inside the plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague. All who survive and escape will be in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valleys, each because of his sins. Every hand will go limp and every knee will become as weak as water. They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Their faces will be covered with shame and their heads will be shaved. They will throw their silver into the streets and their gold will be an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the Lord's wrath. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin. They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols and vile images. Therefore, I will turn these into an unclean thing for them. I will hand it all over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, and they will defile it. I will turn my face away from them, and they will desecrate my treasured place. Robbers will enter it and desecrate it." Prepare chains because the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of violence. I will bring the most wicked of the nations to take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the mighty and their sanctuaries will be desecrated. When terror comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none. Calamity upon calamity will come and rumor upon rumor will. They will try to get a vision from the prophet. The teaching of the law by the priest will be lost as well as the council, as will the council of the elders. The king will mourn. The prince will be clothed with despair and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct and by their own standards, I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the Lord. Wow. That is amazing. Some very, very powerful word. So let's look at the conditions on the ground in Ezekiel 7. God called Ezekiel to be his prophet during one of Israel's darkest times. Ezekiel was a watchman on the wall. God shaped his character to fit his mission. God gave Ezekiel instructions as to what to do and say. He predicted the destruction of Judah. Again, the conditions on the ground. Judah was full of pride. They refused to repent. They rebelled against God. They trusted in prosperity and possessions instead of God. They were evil and wicked. They heard Ezekiel's message but refused to repent and turn back to God. The people were worshiping man-made idols, and today's idols are money, sex, and power that people still worship. We'll be reading out of the Life Application Study Bible, the New International Version, page 1409 was the reference that I had there. Now let's look and contrast the people of Nineveh and the people of Israel. The people of Nineveh believe God's message. They had unified repentance. Even their leader, the king, humbled himself, as did the people before the Lord. People put on sackcloth. The king put on sackcloth and dust, and the city was spared by God. Now let's look at the people of Israel. They refused to repent. They were stubborn and prideful. They refused to obey God. They faced judgment. And remember, the purpose of God's judgment is correction. not revenge. Again, Life Application Study Bible, there is a reference. Ezekiel 7, 18, the King James Version. They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth and horror shall cover them and shame shall be upon all faces and baldness upon all their heads. Tree of Life version, Ezekiel 7, 18. They will also gird on sackcloth. Horror will cover them. Shame will be upon all faces. Baldness will be upon all their heads. Ezekiel 7, 18, Amplified Bible. They will also cover themselves with sackcloth. Horror will overwhelm them and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads as evidence of grief. Now let's look at sackcloth a little bit more, physical and spiritual sackcloth. In the Old Testament, sackcloth adornment and application of ashes were signs of humility before the Lord and total repentance for where a nation and its people had gone wrong or missed it. Sackcloth and ashes were an outward sign of mourning or submission, Repentance or shame. Rugalman was the reference there. Uncomfortable cloth made of thick, rough black goat's hair and coarse material similar to burlap or a potato sack. The ashes were an outward sign that signaled to everyone absolute grief, desolation and ruin. Ashes served as a reminder of our origins, beginning in Genesis when God formed Adam from the dust of the earth. Genesis 2.7. And the Bible study tools there were used as a reference. This is a picture that I pulled in. The author is unknown. And you can see the man there with sackcloth on in a position of surrender. and humility unto the Lord, recognizing the Lord's sovereignty and the Lord's ability to have compassion and mercy, but also to bring about judgment for those that refuse to repent and leave their wicked, evil ways. Daniel 9, 3-6, the New International Version says, So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting and in sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed, Lord, the great and awesome God who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments. We have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled. We have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants, the prophets who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors and to all the people of the land. And what are the conditions on the ground today? There's rampant sin. There's child abuse, child sex trafficking, child sexual abuse material, CSAM. There's pornography. There's serial killings, mass shootings, anarchy, terrorism, violence, hatred, corruption, dictatorships. There's war crimes. There's exploitation of the helpless. And there's idolatry, sex, money, and power. The Bible presents a tool, sackcloth and ashes, that can benefit our approach to God. It is mentioned 46 times in the King James Version and also that's backed up in the Strong's Concise Concordance. Montgomery 2013 is also the reference there. The tool is an act that many in ancient times did physically. the putting on the sackcloth and the ashes, but we must do it spiritually. To put on sackcloth and ashes in mourning, to humble ourselves and to repent. So they did it physically by adorning the sackcloth covering their body with the ashes. But we have to take that spiritual posture, that heart posture to put on the sackcloth and the ashes and mourn for the way that this world has gone and how it grieves Father's heart and that we must humble ourselves before our sovereign Lord, recognize that he is Lord of all and we need to repent and turn And again today, we must wear our spiritual sackcloth and have a contrite, humble, repentant heart, removing the garments of pride, disobedience, and arrogance. Thayne was the reference there. Revelation 11.3, the New International Version says, And I will appoint my two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth. Now let's look at our trauma responsive pulpit and bring in that and look at the conditions on the ground from a trauma lens. When we look at the next slide showing the aces pyramid, we must think of the soil, the hearts of the people where the seeds, the word of God are sown or planted. And we, you know, are we sowing as farmers, as ministers, as pastors, the word of God into good soil? Are the words and delivery methods contributing to spiritual blockages maybe that we're using? Or do those we minister to have a spiritual heart condition due to past adverse circumstances? And that is what we need to take in as we minister during these times that we find ourselves in today. in order to deliver God's truth to his people and them be receptive to receive it in their hearts, which brings about true repentance, turning from evil, having a changed life and living out the word of truth in their lives. as Christ did when he walked the earth, our true example of God who came in the flesh, fully man, fully God. This is showing the adverse childhood experiences or the adverse community environments and how they can shape and mold us even from birth. and create rocks and blockages in us that open us up to deception, faltering through sin, and being unable to surrender and take the heart posture needed to please God, to walk as Jesus did, and have a changed life evident as salvation enters your heart, transforms your mind, and brings about physical change. Perhaps we need to till the ground a little bit more, build a trusting non-judgmental space, uproot some of these thorns, and break up the rocky soil in the people's hearts. Then the word of God's son can fall on fertile ground, and the seeds planted bear much fruit for the kingdom of God. People who grow into images of Christ branch off into non-compromising, deeply rooted faith trees, trees that do not blow with the wind. They hold steadfast in the storms of life and become bearers of light to a world filled with darkness and deception. They produce light, love, and life wherever they go. As rivers of living water flow from their hearts into the thirsty wells of others, finally quenching that spiritual thirst. Proverbs 4 there as a reference. Psalm 3011, the New International Version. You turned my wailing into dancing. You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. Let's have a moment of reflection. Are there rocks that are climbing into your heart? Mark 12, 10, 11, the New International Version. Haven't you read this passage of scripture? The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes. Mark 12, 10 to 11, Amplified Bible. Have you not even read this scripture? The stone which the builders regarded as unworthy and rejected, this very stone has become the cheap cornerstone. This came about from the Lord and it's marvelous and wonderful in our eyes. Jesus was the stone that was rejected. Although rejected, Jesus became the cornerstone of the new building, the church. The cornerstone was used as a base to ensure that the other stones of the building were straight and level. Similarly, Jesus' life and teachings are the church's foundation today. Now let's look at 1 Chronicles 7, sound leadership, Old Testament examples. And I will be reading just briefly a little bit of it out of the Life Application Study Bible, the New International Version. And I will be reading starting at 20. And it's entitled Ephraim. And this is basically talking about the descendants. The descendants of Ephraim, Shuthelah, Beret his son, Tahath his son, Eladiah his son, Tehat his son, Zabad his son, and Shutheloth his son. Ezra and Eliad were killed by the native-born men of Goth when they went down to seize their livestock. Their father Ephraim mourned for them many days and his relatives came to comfort him. Then he lay with his wife again and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. He named him Beria because there had been misfortune in his family. His daughter was Shira who built lower and upper Beth Horon as well as Uz and Shira. Riphoth was his son, Reshep his son, Telah his son, Tehan his son, Laden his son, Amahud his son, Elishamama his son, Nun, his son, and Joshua, his son. Their lands and settlements included Bethel and its surrounding villages. Naram to the east, Gezer and its villages to the west, and Shechem and its villages all the way to Aiah and its villages. Along the borders of Manasseh were Beth, Shom, Tanakh, Megiddo, and Dor, together with their villages. The descendants of Joseph, son of Israel, lived in these towns. And forgive me if I mispronounce those names. Joshua was one of Israel's great leaders. First Chronicles 727, we see his birth reference, the son of Nun. Led the people into the promised land. He played a key role in the exodus from Egypt. He was a field general of Israel's army, accompanying Moses half the way up the mountain. Joshua 2 also is a reference there that you can look at. Joshua was one of Israel's great leaders. One of the two, Joshua and Caleb, among the 12 spies to bring back an encouraging report after being sent into the promised land for the first time. They lived with and shadowed, I'm sorry, Joshua lived with and shadowed Moses' leadership. He learned how to be a great leader firsthand. through experiential knowledge. Moses chose him as his assistant. The qualities Joshua possessed. Faithful to ask God for direction in the challenges he faced. He was a brilliant military strategist. He committed to and obeyed God. He led by example. He led the Israelites into their God-given homeland. Life Application Study Bible there, page 335 as a reference. Now let's look at the qualities Moses possessed. He exhibited the best test of leadership by training Joshua as his assistant and mentee. Remember, death is the ultimate deadline for leadership. Thus, replacements must be trained to continue the dream. Moses passed the torch of leadership to Joshua. commissioned Joshua as his successor. Excellent role model for Joshua to mirror, and he led the people out of bondage out of Egypt. Now let's take a moment of reflection. Questions leaders should ask. Who is your Moses? Who is your Joshua? Who are you mirroring in leadership? Are they a walking example of Jesus, God in action, that cornerstone we learned about in the previous passage? Are you a reflection of God when you lead? What does your life show? Now let's look at 2 Timothy 2, sound leadership, New Testament examples. And we did do a previous teaching in our trauma responsive pulpit series, This is the seventh one of these videos and these podcasts, audio podcasts on our trauma responsive pulpit series. So please ensure that you go back and watch all of them. So second Timothy two sound leadership, the new Testament examples. And again, I will be reading out of the life application study Bible, the new international version. You then my son, Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs. He wants to please his commanding officer. Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. Reflect on what I'm saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all of this. Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel for which I'm suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. Therefore, I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. Here is a trustworthy saying. If we died with him, we will also live with him. If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us. If we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself. And remember, a workman approved by God is the next section. Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words. It is of no value and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene or remember like cancer in our previous teachings. Among them, they are Hymenaeus and Philetus who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm. That cornerstone sealed with the inscription, the Lord knows those who are his. Again, sealed with this inscription. The Lord knows who are his, who are sealed. And everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness. In a large house, there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the master, and prepared to do any good work. Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel. Instead, he must be kind to everyone able to teach, not resentful. Those to oppose him, he must gently instruct in the hope that God will grant them repentance, leading them to a knowledge of the truth and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil. who has taken them captive to do his will. And remember that spirit of deception that we learned about in our previous teachings. Paul was a great leader. Paul was dying in prison and knew he must pass the torch of leadership to Timothy before he was to be executed. Paul encouraged Timothy in the faith. Paul led by example. Paul was obedient to God even unto death. Paul reminded Timothy of what was important. 2 Timothy 2 there. Qualities Paul, missionary Apostle Paul, possessed. Man of deep faith. Man of undying love. Man of constant hope. Man of tenacious conviction, bold and courageous. He was a man of profound insight. a man inspired by the Holy Spirit to give us God's message of truth. Life Application Study Bible, New International Version, page 2197. There is a reference. The qualities of a faithful minister of Jesus Christ, according to Paul. Remember your call. Use your gifts with boldness. Keep to the truth. Prepares others to follow you in ministry. Be disciplined. Be ready to suffer and endure hardship. qualities of a faithful minister of Jesus Christ according to Paul. Keep eyes and mind focused on Christ. Hold to sound doctrine. Refuse to listen to or participate in gossip, godless chatter. Correctly handle the word of truth and live a pure life. Warnings to Timothy from Paul. We'll face opposition in the last days from self-centered people who use the church for their gain and who teach false doctrines. Paul reminds Timothy to be prepared for these unfaithful people by following his example of leadership. Let me say that again. Paul reminds Timothy to be prepared for these unfaithful people by following his example of leadership. Warnings to Timothy from Paul. Paul reminds Timothy of the real source of the opposition. Remember Ephesians, we don't wrestle against flesh, but evil, principalities, powers, and high places. He reminds Timothy to draw strength and power in the word of God, to preach the word and fulfill his ministry until the very end. 2 Timothy 3, 12-13, Amplified Bible. Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are determined to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be hunted and persecuted because of their faith. But evil men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3, 12-13, the King James Version. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3.12-13 The Tree of Life Version Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted. But evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3.12-13 New International Version In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. Now let's look at the trauma responsive pulpit and from the lens of trauma. Who or what is leading you? Are the cares of life getting you down, leading you? Is fear guiding your decisions? Remember, fear introduces the cares into our lives and intrusive thoughts come in and take over our mind. Fear can cause us to worry and be double-minded, be anxious and full of stress. And that can lead to doubt and unbelief and no faith in God. And then God's hands are tied if we lose our faith because then we lose our power as well. Remember Psalm 119, 105, the King James Version. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. And then let's look at that Psalms 119, 105 in the Passion Translation. True shining light guides me in my choices and decisions. The revelation of your word makes my pathway clear. In the light of my word, there is counsel. James 1 5, New International Version. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to you. Is it God's light of wisdom or the devil's deceptive darkness that will guide you as a leader in these last days? James points out that we will be unstable without God's wisdom. We will sway in the wind, remember, instead of being that steadfast anchor. Jesus is our example of a great leader. Our lives should reflect him in the world. Let's have a moment of reflection. God prophesied through both Ezekiel and Jeremiah that a time would come when he would take the old stony heart out of men and put in a new one. Ezekiel 36, 26, new international version. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I remember in my study with the Rima Correspondence Bible School, Kenneth Hagin, there was a passage out of his book that I quoted in that last slide from him that talked about that. Ezekiel 36, 26, the King James Version. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. Now let's look at Ezekiel 36, 26 in the message Bible. For here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take you out of these countries, gather you from all over and bring you back to your own land. I'll pour pure water over you. and scrub you clean. I'll give you a new heart. Put a new spirit in you. I'll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that's God-willed, not self-willed. I'll put my spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands. You'll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors. You'll be my people and I'll be your God. Let's remove the stones, the rocks from your heart so that it can be a heart that's free and ready to receive the word of God, the word of truth. Psalm 119, 111, King James Version. Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee. Prophetic word received on 8-7-2024. Thus saith the Lord. They must turn from evil. The scales have tipped. The time is now. Repent and turn. I am a God of love and mercy, but also judgment. They openly sin and blasphemy me. Thus saith the Lord, repent and turn back to me before my judgment is certain. Turn back to me, turn back to me. Woe to the one that does not heed this word. Thus saith the Lord thy God. We are running out of time. And it is time to make God's word His word of truth front and center in your hearts so that you can hide it in your heart so that you may not sin against him. So that you can know the truth and the truth shall set you free while there's still time. It is important that you understand that we are running out of time. You're running out of time. It's time for us to follow him, his teachings, to repent and turn away from evil and say yes, that we will follow God's will for our lives and not our own. that will follow his truth along that narrow path of righteousness for his name's sake. Abba Father, I lift them up to you this day as I conclude this teaching, your teaching, your message of truth. Let it have penetrated their hearts. Let it have caused an unveiling, an unyoking from the things of this world and a yoking to the word of truth to your son, Lord Jesus Christ. his teachings, his word, his love, his humility, his mercy, his grace, and his obedience even unto death. Help them, O God, as they follow you and not the world, as they repent and turn from their ways of evil, from the ways of this world, and they replace the idols of this world with your truth, as they have a heart that has been changed, a spiritual condition that now has been fixed, all blockages and rocky soil removed so that the word of God can penetrate their hearts and they can be empty vessels ready to receive the new wine and blossom and transform into who you call them to be. In your precious name, Lord Jesus, we give you all the glory and all the praise. Father, in the name of your son, Lord Jesus, let this word go forth and prosper to all that listen to you. In your mighty name, Jesus. Amen. Thank you so much for listening to this recording and this teaching. I'm Tammy Toney-Butler from Reflective Spaces Ministry and Reflective Hour.
