Transcendental

Reverend Bren Gandy-Wilson sees a bridge as a means of connection or transition; and spiritual discernment as being able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and comprehend that which is not evident to the carnal mind. In time this ability to grasp and understand leads to a deepening humility as the Holy Spirit leads one into becoming a vessel that God can use for His Glory. In Women Are Spiritual Bridges, Bren takes the reader on a journey through her struggles with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), and how it affected her childhood, family and marriage relationships. Through reading the Word of God, coupled with counseling sessions from a female remnant of God, she came to understand that it is only through redemption, that one can renew the mind, making the conscience captive to the Will of God. Without this transformation, it is impossible to please God, or make a perfected change and become a vessel through whom God can speak and use for His Glory and His cause Bren came to know that if she lived the Word by faith, love and devotion to others, she could become a Spiritual Bridge( that vessel); making her a connection to others to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After years and years of struggle in the world, she finally humbled herself and turned to God. By making Jesus Christ, Head of her life and Head of her household, she crossed over from the Old Testament Law of Sin and Death (the old covenant of rules and sacrificial regulations), into the New Testament (New Covenant Spirit of love and Grace). (Romans 6:14) As a Spiritual Bridge, she was then able to take seriously the great commandment to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). And a second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37-38). She came to understand that neighbor included husband, children and family. As Spiritual Bridges, Bren believes that it has been granted to Women of God (and men as well), the right to suffer for Christ's sake (Phil. 1:29). Yet, when she suffers, if she faithfully represents the message of Christ through word and example, the fruit she will bear in herself and in others will far outweigh the cost. If she endures, her afflictions will seem light compared to the gl
