Releasing Latent Gifts Series

Contributed by Manuela George-Izunwa on Oct 4, 2019

RELEASING LATENT GIFTS To release implies something is incarcerated, imprisoned, locked up, and bound. Who locked your gifts up? The devil? Or you? Latent means something is existing but not yet developed or manifest; or it's hidden or concealed. Gifts include all your natural abilities or ...read more
