My Story Is Not Over
Contributed by Donavon Hill on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: This is a sermon for anyone who's followed God half-heartedly or been partially obedient. It's a message of hope from the life of Abram/Abraham. He made so many mistakes but God brought him into every promise He had ever made.
THE PROCESS HAS PREPARED YOU FOR THIS MOMENT!
THIS IS YOUR DAY!
It all shifted for Abram in about 90 days - when God changed his name - within 3 months Sarah was pregnant!
Somebody’s in for a SHIFT . . . A TURN AROUND . . . 25 YEARS OF WONDERING . . . SUDDENLY TURNED AROUND . . .
