Nothing Shall Stand Against You

Contributed by Marlou Javier on Mar 22, 2021

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023

Crowds pushed their way into the little house in Capernaum so that the only way a paralyzed man could get to Jesus was ...read more

The Light That Overcomes All Darkness- Introduction

Contributed by Gary Tate on Mar 6, 2024

This I believe can help those who have or are struggling with their relationships. As a grown man now, I understand I had been living within “darkness”. I did not understand until ten years ago I was walking around being held captive by feelings of abandonment and a “orphan spirit”.

I find that we all want to understand what we can do when facing what seems to be at times an onslaught against us mentally and Spiritually. This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my “birth Father” was never ...read more
