Remove the Stone: Using Your Sins to Redirect Your Spiritual Energy

All of us wonder—at least sometimes—why we do the things that we do, especially sinful ones. More often than not, however, our sins are the result of spiritual energy that is going in the wrong direction. "Remove the Stone" provides a strategy for examining these energies in an attempt to redirect sinful energy into a more life-giving direction. God invites all of us to healing. By "removing the stone," as Jesus commanded the on-lookers to do at the deceased Lazarus' tomb, you, too, can become a partner with God so that whatever blocks you from an energized spiritual experience can help you to find life again. "Remove the Stone" offers some exercises to help you on your spiritual journey.
