    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Paul declares that his teacher was the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, also, but the Spirit many teachers to provide us with our personal revelation.

    Galatians 1:11-24 "Personal Revelations" INTRODUCTION I'm a history buff, and I enjoy a good, well written biography.

    Uniting The Body
