Seedling / Salvation...germinationpoint where something new sprouts up
Tillering / Spiritual Babe, a saplinga young plant on the rise
Jointing / Spiritual Self Esteem...standing on its own, not easily shaken
Booting / Spiritual Autonomy..application & ability to stand in the gap
Heading / Spiritual Maturity...their life is a blessing for those around them
Maturity / Super Grace Believer…able to overcome adversity & is glorifying God in the Angelic Conflict
MAT 13:26 it points out a deeperprinciple concerning the AngelicConflict right now in the CA & in the Tribulation Period
